I guess the logical reason why most ice monsters have subspecies that live in the desert is the following:like our real world,the world of monster hunter was one continent with the cold areas close to the deserts (in this time they were neither hot or cold (like Antarcitca was normal in temprature in the dino age not cold like today)) and when time passed the continents of the monster hunter world seperated to the continents we know now in the monster hunter world.And the ancestor of the three monsters pike mentioned were spread on different parts of the continents (due to their seperation of the continents) and had to adapt to their new environment and devaloped to what we know now (Copper Blangonga and Blangonga and their Blangos,Barrioth and Sand Barrioth,Zamitros subspecies and Zamitros and his Zamites.)
