A subspecies for Deviljho however seems rather pointless to me. The guy can thrive in literally any environment he wishes. Volcanoes (extreme heat), Arctic Climates (extreme cold), Jungles (hot and moist), Deserts (dry, semi-extreme heat/cold temperatures).

Though the very idea of having a subspecies for this guy is appealing, I can't really think of any other purpose for it than to give us an excuse to hunt that thing to extinction even faster than we already have so far.

Most subspecies do not only feature a different behaviour and/or elemental traits, but often also inhabit areas (climates) that contradict the one(s) the "original" species live in. Seeing as Deviljho is a nomadic wanderer capable of surviving anywhere, the only thing I can imagine being somewhat logical would be to "upgrade" him.

Sort of like how they made a "Golden Rajang" pseudo-sub. Which yield no extras as far as I can recall. It wasn't really an upgrade either. Just a pointless "mod" of the "original" to give players a fake sense of fighting something unique.
