User blog comment:Lord Loss/Monster Hunter Theory... Blog/@comment-4674269-20120826040708

Perpare yourself as I'm about to propose my craziest theory ever concerning the elemental seeds/berries introduced in Tri.

What we know so far:

- When consumed, they each heal a hunter from a specific elemental blight and provide resistance to the same element for a short period of time.

- Dragonfell Berries can be crafted into Dragon element ammo.

-The Jinouga subspecies is a result of a Jinouga that absorbs Dragon element from bugs that fed on Dragonfell berries (Note: Dragonfell berries are found in the volcano where this subspecies is found).

From what I noticed these berries/seeds cause some rather stange effects on the bodies of hunters and monsters alike. The plants seem mutate what ever consumed them, giving them the power of a specific element. Now with hunters, effects don't seem too extreme compared to the Jinouga sub, but what if Jinouga isn't the only monster being affected by these plants?

Other cases?:

-In MHFO, we feed our Halks in order to change their elemental nature and apperance. Could we be feeding our Halks these plants which mutates their bodies and gives them elemental powers?

- Stormsender Seeds are found in the Tundra. Are Gigginox subs. the result of a normal Giggi(nox) feeding on these seeds, hence how they are able to use thunder element?
