User blog comment:Lord Loss/Monster Hunter Theory... Blog/@comment-184.38.6.68-20120809203509

I think I have a possible theory about the raths and their subs.Normal raths could just be a ones that have molted or shed their skin recently and maybe more vulnerable from attacks from other monsters or hunters alike.So they may produce less vibrant colors to act as camouflage against other monsters and to lessen the chance of an conflict against one.To lessen the time after the molt they may stay either in the volcano or desert for extended peroids of time until their hide has harden which would leave them vulnerable from attacks from monsters like tigrex and gravios.When their hide has harden completely they will most likely produce more vibrant colors to act as a warning against predators and if their old enough than they may lose most of those colors.
