It seems that the Rathian subspecies from Frontier has become a somewhat controversial monster. I want to share with you my theory about it.

Rathian and Rathalos are wyverns that have a very complex genetic code. It is because of this complex code that so many subspecies exist. In the Rathian case, their genetic code has so far revealed three subspecies: the Pink Rathian, the Gold Rathian and the Rathian Subspecies. The rarest subspecies appears to be the black Rathian Subspecies. The reason for this is because their genetic code is extremely rare, which means that not many of this Rathians are born. The fact that a male counterpart for this rare species has not been found so far suggests that they either went extinct (probably because they could not find enough females to reproduce) or that their genetic code is even more complex than their mates, meaning they are even more rare. In short, the Rathian Subspecie´s genetic code is very complex and rare, which means: the chance of one of this Rathians being born is very slim. The fact that they do not appear to have a male counterpart makes me say that they are not picky about their mates and will mate with the first Rathalos they find, desesperate to keep their species alive.

Hope it´s not confusing. Tell me what you think.
