Talk:Monster Hunter Evolution - My Theories/@comment-4212769-20120830224645/@comment-5020152-20120831004312

1) Most Neopterons, if not all, are the massive insect-like monsters that are fought and killed in the games. Regular insects, however, also exist. I'm thinking that Neopterons are a new type of insect that are distinguished by their huge size.

2) "Pelagi replace the mammals wholly". I don't like that theory. I mean, that would infer that Popo and other Herbivores are also Pelagi (which admittedly makes some sense). What about humans? Are we considered Pelagi too?

And I like my idea that Pelagi regressed back to a reptile-like form. History repeats itself, right? Also, if Pelagi replaced mammals, and Pelagi also evolved from Fanged Wyverns (which in turn evolved from Flying Wyverns), that would mean that mammals are extinct and that us humans are technically a type of wyvern. COOL!

3) You're saying that the Elder Dragon classification is an unnatural group like the Pachydermata I used as an example? I honestly never considered that. I figured that they were all related from a common ancestor from the beginning.

3.1) I'm pretty sure that no Leviathan could evolve fur (Ceadeus). In my defense, I think that Ceadeus kept its fur from its Fanged Wyvern origins, which it couldn't have done if its origins were strictly reptile (as with the other Leviathans).

3.2) Just as I said. Kirin is some kind of mammal-like creature. Probably Pelagus because of its aggressive nature towards humans.

3.3) Yeah, that's my theory too. Either jellyfish or squid. Actually, squid sounds more likely, because they actually have a mouth.

3.4) If they evolved from Pseudowyverns, then first that Wyvern would need to degenerate its wings attached to the arms, and THEN evolve brand-new ones from its back. Not even the Brute Wyverns had to grow a whole new set of limbs.

3.5) No idea how he evolved.

Yikes, I did forget them! But then again, I forgot Urcusis and Ragurotora too. The groups I mentioned were just examples.

I rest my case (er, cases). Dazzle me with your argument.
