@Syntarus The thing is though that Capcom has made special attributes for the monsters to be classified in their respective classes. Brute monsters are based on large theropod dinosaurs, Fanged wyverns such as Zinogre are most likely inspired by therapsids which were animals that had both mammalian and reptilian attributes, Piscine Wyverns as their name suggests are wyverns that are fish-like in apperance and body wise, and Carapaceons are creatures based on crustaceans and their relatives such as scorpions and spiders. You can make the argument that Tetstukabura is Akantor-like but the only similarity are the huge tusks. Body-wise Akantor and its two close relatives are lizard-like in the way they move and their limbs are splayed out to the sides of their bodies and keep their stomachs very close to the ground. Tetsukabura on the other hand its body is based on that of a frog/toad and its back legs are positioned like that of said animals. Also if you look at its official graphics Tetsukabura is in jumping like a frog. Seeing as Leviathans such as Royal Ludroth and Hapurubokka are very amphibian-like I just have a gut-feeling that Tetsukabura is going to be classified as a Leviathan. Could I be wrong??? Possibly but I just have a feeling.
