If you think monster do your job would be boring, just make the monster become stronger, so even it's weakened, it's still really strong.

Monsters can attack each other is really a good idea. Because it's an open world, you may not want to meet a certain monster when hunting another monster. For example, you are going to hunt a Qurupeco, but suddenly, a Rathalos appears. It would be hard to run away from the Rathalos, since it's an open world and you can't just move to another area. And after that you saw a Tigrex in the far north. You should run to the Tigrex while the Rathalos is following you. After both monsters are met, Rathalos would see Tigrex as a bigger threat than you, so it would attack Tigrex instead. While they are fighting, you can run safely and find the Qurupeco.
