User blog comment:Lord Loss/Monster Hunter Theory... Blog/@comment-10105901-20130805030309

I have no idea if anything on this subject has been posted, but I think the reason Delex interfere with Hunters during a Jhen hunt is because they rely on Jhen for food. They are too small to take down anything big, and nothing small lives there but other Delex and some birds players can see in the sky. So they eat what Jhen leaves from his meals. When they see hunters hurting Jhen, they defend Jhen for their own survival.
