User blog comment:Lord Loss/Monster Hunter Theory... Blog/@comment-25192100-20140907131335/@comment-25119729-20140907175140

I guess it's mostly in game mechanics and the lack of "monster vs. monster attacks" animations. Could be however that some monsters realize that hunters are a far bigger threat than the other monster. You have that little, annoying thing running through the area. It doesn't has claws or big jaws. It looks like it can do nothing and suddenly that little pointy thing it carries hits like a truck. Wouldn't it be logical to take out that thing first?
