Who do I think deserves a Rare Species: Gypceros could use one with a change to its behavior. Maybe give Gypceros some water element would be interesting. Maybe have it acting unusual like  always having its tail stretching while doing every attack or even charging someone. Maybe add something unusual like water breath balls instead of poison but adds poison (G-rank MHFU or 3U strength) when enraged at any rank. And a new poison tail swing attack. Color can be based of Gyps dead cousin Bajirisu(See "Minor Monsters" page) being Blue on the back and yellow on his sides but instead of Baji's white belly it has a green belly. Oh and it is able to make flashes with only one warning instead of normal 3. Gains a rubber tail wrapping pin attack where he wrapps his tail around you and does the old swing you left and right smashing you on the ground or hitting other hunters in the area with you as a weapon until you escape.(Really liking this idea Capcom take this Gyp pin attack please)

Khezu could use one. Maybe a black Khezu with Dragon element mixed with thunder like Doragyurosu and also like that still causes paralysis. Give him more aggressive moves on average kinda like HC Red Khezu chasing people while stretching his neck dripping acid. I can picture him in all black, shiny and veins are black also but bulging out so you can see the outline of them when it shines. And a more interesting feature make use of that mouth like tail Khezu has and bite people with it or pin them to the ground with it then shocking them to death in a reverse kinda way Baleful pins people with its mouth. He couls also use his neck the way Giginox does from the roof to pin people but just as a basic attack not a pin.

Zinogre needs a rare species and Fire + Thunder and maybe + Dragon all in one would be most fitting elements to add a twist to this I suggest his average size be as big as a average-average short Uragaan with more speed and digging attacks that may include rock throwing using his large forearms I mean he can use them for more than just smashing why not make them "handy" and add some throwing skills. He could maybe dig up a flaming rock throw it in the air with his arms then backflip tail slap it at a target with homing aim. As for use of fire element use orange burning electricity to burn areas on the ground making fire on the ground as obsticals during battle. His homing thunderbugs remain as Dragon element but now cause paralysis. His areas are Volcanos, Caves and Swamps. How about when he does the zinogre signiture howl with thunder released all around it also summons Dragon Thunder Bugs same time as the orange lightning burns the ground. His color can be like Stygians black main body, back will be somewhat orange and is always charged and his tail spikes will be red. When pin attacking someone it will cause fireblight and fire damage from its burning hot mouth biting you.

I think we could use a white Diablos as a rare species. Much like SIlver Los it will shine white and will have abilitys like increased digging speed, louder roars, throws rocks by digging one up then launching it with its tail like a golfball, Digging while sticking its horns out of the ground to charge people while digging, Roaring from underground followed by a attack, A pin attack or should I say a sand attack when the hunter gets their legs pulled under the sand and loses health and Diablos crushes his legs with its mouth maybe form underground needing a sonic bomb to get it to let go and a behavior of charging up to 7-9 times in a row turning at the end of each charge changing targets with each charge. White Monoblos was getting lonely anyway.

Rare Kushala Daora maybe? Dunno thism ay be a bad idea only hting I got for a idea is a recently shed Kusha who is still white in color and may remain white due to a genetic change. It could always be larger than normal Kusha on average due to being able to grow more from its hsell not hardening as much. But as for attacks I have no idea what to say... only thing for attacks I could have added frontier gave HC Kusha.
