I don't know maybe it was fainted and the virus activated, it looked dead though. I'm pretty positive that the purple smoke was from the thing Goa Magara gives off. Maybe the story is that it is infecting monsters and the hunter has to put an end to it and stabilize the hunting grounds. I don't know.
