Just as Pink Fatalis wrote below: I don't think this means he's confirmed for the game (sadly...kinda, he had decent gear for the first half of the game).

I'd really love to see all the monsters, we already saw mats of, return, because all of them (the crabs, Quru, Deviljho and now Ludroth) would be cool. Especially Qurupeco as I imagine it to be a huge pain in the ass if a crimson Quru would call a golden Rajang OR a Savage Jho. I guess that would make people even more nervous when he's around :D
