Firstly, wasn't the age of a Lao measured against how long the horn was on its face, as told be a NPC character in MHF2/MHFU?

I thought the colour of the Lao was dependant of the enviroment the Lao-Shan Lung was living in therefore only being able to be Red or Blue and they are really the same size which would really mean perhaps it's a migrating dragon. Meaning they choose where they want to live/ or perhaps its being chased out of it territory by perhaps something more of a threat i.e. Fatalis.

So perhaps the Fatalis chasing it is plausable? As Ashen Lao-Shan Lung is that colour due to the exposure of volcanic minerals, wheres the Fatalis's scales turn from black to crimison in order to make the Crimson subspecie.

Which would make the 'now' Ashen Lao-Shan Lung a great snack for the Crimson Fatalis. NOM NOM!

Which is strange when you think about the Volcano as an area for these two elder dragons because not only has it changed there physical appearance but also given them increased health and some slight adaptions on there movepools.
