Hmm... a page for variations... Well, we already have a page dedicated to Subspecies (and Rare Species) in the Monster Portal, with images to compare them with the original monsters.

So with that said... perhaps we should just drop the subspecies here and have this particular article focus on other variations that are listed, such as the unique versions of monsters like Golden Rajang, Savage Deviljho, One Horned Diablos... as well as the Unknowns, HC and Supreme monsters from Frontier.

Savage Deviljho, Golden Rajang, One Horned Diablos, and maybe that one scarred up Garuga should probably be catagorized as "Unique Powerhouse Specimens" or something along those lines. They're basically monsters that are more powerful than their standard kind, but not different species... so yeah.

For the Frontier stuff... Hardcore, Unknown, and Supremacy should be good enough as category headers. I'm sure our Frontier players could sort them all out properly...

I'm not entirely sure about having counterparts... then again, I'm not sure I entirely understand what you're doing with that list. You've got the 4 prey together... and also Los and Ian... are we talking related species here? Variations by gender?
