^ If I'm not mistaken when I fought the dual abiorugu the one with the red back plates had a higher, more powerful offense while its counterpart with the yellow back plates had a higher defense. But like you said it could be a form of sexual dimorphism in the species. Also while Capcom may not release a statement the theory blog gives us an opportunity to theorize the monster's behavior and other things.
