Things you may not know about the Lao-Shan Lung, Shen Gaoren, and Akantor(Info comes from MHFU, MH4, wikiwiki.jp, atwiki.jp, Pike, mhfo.wikiwiki.jp)

Lao-Shan Lung

Firstly, Lao-Shan Lung is 6960cm long.

Its nicknamed the "Walking Natural Disater".

While standing on its hind legs, it will use its tail for support.

Just a single scale from Lao is comparable to the shells of some wyverns like the Rathalos but its actual shell is about as hard as rock.

Its hide is formed from various minerals, ores, and in some cases volcanic ash.

The only Laos confirmed are the normal Laos and the Ashen Laos.

Its material and its shell are said to contain a special rare enegry(Dragon Element). With this power, they are said to have destructive powers and abilities.

Although the Ashen Lao-Shan Lung is said to be a subspecies by the Guild, its actually just a Lao from the volcano with a different color from the normal ones.

Even though Lao has been known for a long time, there is still little known about Lao-Shan Lung. One reason why is because there elusive and their whereabouts can not be truly certain, even by the Guild and even from their huge size.

Its been confirmed that Laos constantly roam around their territory.

It seems Laos may sometimes go to ore refineries for reasons.

An early sign that Lao-Shan Lung is coming is that the ground will shake constantly.

The fort was built to pervent monsters from getting to the town very easily.

The most likely reason why Lao-Shan Lung is invading the fort is because its running from something, in this case Fatalis(I call the new Fatalis).

Despite it being easy in-game to kill and repel Lao, it seems that afew hunters died trying to repel it. The final zone, hunters focus on Lao with their weapons and some equipment.

The Dragon Herbs on its back are used as medicine and a lot of people are willing to buy them no matter what the price.

Some Lao Shells suggest their actual age, which seems to be up to a 1000 years old.

Their claws on their feet and hands are about half the size of a human.

Lastly(This is a theory by a few fans), the Laos in the Polar Sea could suggest the origins of Lao-Shan Lung and may also suggest that Laos came from the New World.

Shen Gaoren

Firstly, Shen Gaoren is the largest Carapaceon found thus far.

Shen Gaoren's power and strength is comparable to that of large Elder Dragons from it being able to destroy whole cities and villages.

Its thick shell is comparable to metal and is tougher than metal.

Shen Gaoren seems to wander from area to area and it has a large territory spreading pretty far. Some even have territories near some cities like Mezeporta and Dondruma.

Its true ecology is a mystery, even to the Guild.

It seems Shen Gaoren destroys villages and cities because their in its territory and, it seems to do this with all sorts of threats that pose some type of danger to it.

The green goo it shoots from the Lao's skull is an acidic liquid that comes from its body. This acid can corrode armor or even disslove right through rather quickly.

Its been suggested that Shen Gaorens can live a long time.

Shen Gaoren can destroy the forts, cities, and villages in a manner of minutes.

The Lao's Skull, can only really be broken or severly damaged from the skull being hard to break.

In the Lao's skull, there seems to be signs of the Dragon Element, most likely from Lao, when hunters attack the skull.

Akantor

Firstly, Akantor's tusk is 997cm long and their is story of tusk about 2994cm long.

Akantors have been found living in the Volcanic Belt and throughout the Volcano. They have also been sighted living in the Snowy Mountains.

They prey on other large monsters like Gravios, Basarios, and other heavily armored monsters plus more.

Its jaws and teeth are strong enough to break through Gravios armor. Its tail makes the ground shake and rumble, each time it shakes it.

The shell and scales of it are able to withstand lava and it digs underground using its tusk to get through the ground like Tetsukabura.

It doesn't have an organ that produces breath-based attacks but it has powerful lungs like Tigrex. Its roars are enough to break rocks shatter the ground around it, causing lava to appear around it. The "Sonic Blast" is used to attack prey or destroy obstacles that are far away.

It seems to share a lot with its ancestors.

It was going to be an Elder Dragon at first from its power being beyond a wyvern but was put into the Flying Wyvern from it fitting better with them.

Strange fluids are made from calcium on its body forming rare ores found in the Volcano on Akantor.

When enraged, it produces acidic salvia to attack enemies or prey.

Its own name in some villages means "Disaster". Some of the extreme things it has been seen with are droughts and heavy storms.

Sometimes Akantors the Guild are keeping track of actually disappear without a trace. It is feared by the Guild that Akantor could eventually team up with Ukanlos, causing large amounts of destruction.

The spikes on its back, actually are sharp as rocks and can cut a person up(*Looks at MH4*).

Their tusk have rings in them like a tree, so hunters can count them to find out their age.

Lastly, the jewels from Akantor can only be gained by hunting certain Akantors in certain volcanic areas.

Note: This info is from previous post so it really isn't new but I did add some new info about Akantor and Lao-Shan Lung.
