User blog comment:Lord Loss/Monster Hunter Theory... Blog/@comment-5043481-20121021210526/@comment-4212769-20121022194200

Actually I said this because this surely cannot be considered as a "theory".

Personally I think it should be monsters that actually can meet each other. While Deviljho and Akantor/Ukanlos could possibly meet as Deviljho can live in extremely cold and extremely hot environments it's okay but Gold Rajang and Hungry Deviljho cannot meet each other at all (as far as we are) as they live in different continents (or regions but I guess it's continents. Although when both come in MH4 or later sequels that's the time we can talk about it.

In the end it's all about probabilities, means even a Kelbi can kill a half-dead Akantor if they would meet. But how great is the probability? Each fight has different conditions. For example while mostly the monster that attacks by surprise wins in a fight eye to eye it can look differently. Attack tactics have to be a main point in this.

Let's come to our example: Akantor/Ukanlos vs. Deviljho. First both aren't ambush predators what means they meet they enemies and preys eye to eye and can take down bigger prey than other predators. Let's look at the attacks: Deviljho could attack with his dragon beam only so it has hardly any chance. Akantor has While Deviljho could use a bodycheck against Ukanlos it would rather get pierced by the spikes of Akantor if it tried. That means it has an as even chance to get Ukanlos down as Akantor. Though that doesn't help much as Ukanlos and Akantor can easily endure such attacks and have much more fatal attacks themselves. Especially Akantor can kill it easily as some of his attacks have dragon element.

I would give Deviljho a chance of 3% killing one of those. That means only weakened individuals or with much luck hitting one right.
