We're missing something with Quru Sub. I too was thinking that it just visited the Volcano, until I remembered it's there long enough to learn to mimic Black Tigex and Uragaan (probably not an easy skill to pick up). Eating just fish wouldn't work; the Volcano could support about 3 individuals, and they'd all be murdered in ten minutes flat. But... what if it ate carrion as well? I've seen the normal one eat a Poisoned Meat when it couldn't see me, it's not too great a leap. There is a slight drawback in that almost every single creature in the Volcano looks like it'll eat carrion given half a chance, but nevermind. And why would it go to all this trouble? The Volcano is well known for its ores, it probably needs to digest some for its clever wing flintstones. And then it flies back to the Flooded Forest to go and eat some fish anyway.
