User blog comment:Lord Loss/Monster Hunter Theory... Blog/@comment-3062343-20110714011100

A question from the Minegarde Theory Topic that I can't remember reaching a generally accepted solution is why doesn't Deviljho inhabit the Mountain Stream? The only monsters that could really pose a great threat to Deviljho there are Gold Rathian and Silver Rathalos. While those two could almost certainly fend off/kill a Deviljho, they're supposedly fairly rare, so I can't see them being the reason Deviljho avoids the Mountain Stream. Perhaps there's some geographical reason that Deviljho can't get there, such as a stretch of water (can Deviljho swim, I wonder?). Although I would have thought anything (geographical) that would stop Deviljho moving to a new location would also stop Doboruberuku, who inhabits both the Flooded Forest and the Mountain Stream.
