Maybe we could separate the "Counterparts" section into the monsters who are the same species, but different genders, and those who are very similar, but different species (like the preys/dromes). i.e. something like:

Different gender counterparts
Monsters who belong to the same species, but have major variations based on their gender.


 * Rathian/Rathalos


 * Teostra/Lunastra


 * etc.

Other counterparts
Monsters with similar characteristics superficially, but classified as different species. (I think they should at least stated to be related to one-another in-game to be put in here (e.g. no Gigginox/Khezu).


 * Monoblos/Diablos


 * Giaprey/Velociprey/Genprey/Ioprey


 * etc.

Obviously, I didn't put any thought into the names for the sub-categories I used there, but I'm sure we could think of a decent name.
