Breeding Habits of Some Monsters

Raths
 * Both of them will go to all sorts of areas during breeding season to find a mate. Some of the areas they are occasionally seen in is areas they shouldn't/wouldn't be living like in villages and towns. The Rathains role is to take care of young and protect the young while the Rathalos guards the territory from threats in the sky. While patrolling, Rathalos is looking for any threats to attack and eliminate from the his territory.

Teostra and Lunastra
 * Lunastra and Teostra are found in nest together in the ruins near the Tower or on the Tower. To support this both of their footprints have been found in previous nest or near active nests.

Ludroth Harems
 * Ludroths will dig into the soft sand and lay up to several eggs or less in the burrow. Once they've laid their eggs, Ludroth will stay and guard their nest until the eggs hatch on land. Due to being on land for long periods of time as they guard their nest, Ludroths will begin to dry up and lose moisture in their sponge. To help keep them moist and hydrated, Royal Ludroth will soak up water into their huge spongy mane and spray water on the Ludroths to keep them healthy enough to continue guarding their nest.

Tetsucabra
 * During the breeding season, male Tetsucabra will create large holes to impress females so that they'll lay their eggs in them. When the female lays her eggs in the pit the male will quickly fertilize them. After fertilizing the eggs, the male will then carry them in his mouth and he will not eat anything until the offspring are fully developed.

Cephalos and Cephadrome
 * Cephalos and Cephadromes start of life in water. The females will lay their eggs in water from a desert oasis before the eggs later on hatch during the dry season. After hatching, they will learn to swim in the mud and as the mud gradually dries, becoming harder and tougher for the young to swim in, they will slowly learn how to swim in the hardened mud until they are able to swim in sand.

Uragaan
 * It is difficult to determine a Uragaan's sex from appearance alone. However, during breeding seasons, the males will dress itself with many rocks to impress the females. Diet during this season consists of high quality minerals and valuable jewels to obtain a hard, glossy, golden shell and jewel covered body. The males compete for the brightest display.

Duramboros
 * Female Duramboros live in herds and guard the nests from predators. Male Duramboros live alone and while young, males live alone not to far away from the herd as they grow up.

Zinogre
 * Zinogres raise their young in herds for protection from predators and by working together. The young have more hair on their bodies compared to adults, this protects the juvenile's shell and speeds up the storage of electricity. This fur will shed as the juvenile matures into adulthood.

Monoblos and Diablos
 * During Breeding Season, males flash their red colorful frills to both attract mates and to scare of rivals. Monoblos prefer to use the frill to scare of threats but if that doesn't work than they'll attack threats dead on. Male Diablos will clash with each other for better territories and for mates.

Agnaktor
 * When the breeding season, arrives both male and female will swim to the summit of a active volcano to mate, this is also were most Agnaktor learn the dig through the ceiling technique. The female will then make a nest somewhere near the top. Agnaktor who use the ceiling digging attack have mated at least once in their life. The eggs of Agnaktors hatch inside their body and they can give birth to 2-30 babies.
