Empala- Information

http://monsterhunterfanon.wikia.com/wiki/Empala_-_The_Volcano%27s_Pride

Habitat
The Empala is the apex predator of "The Pride" and certain areas of the Volcano region, including an Empala exclusive area called "The Boiling Summit". This area is somewhat similar to the Alatreon's "Sacred Land", although there are multiple differences: "The Boiling Summit" has 2 areas within it, one is the original are in which you fight the Empala (Area 1, aka: The Gate), the other is the place Empala will run away too, and in its Ecology, where its rules over its domain (Area 2, aka: The King's Landing). Area 2 of The Boiling Summit is a small circle with bones scattered on the floor (bones can be picked up), and unlike other Volcanic areas, the floors and walls of this area are an obsidian black, some say due to Chaos element exposure. Area 1 of The Boiling Summit resembles an eye, containing rock wall gates on its north and south poles and a massive center colloseum in the shape of a circle, its north and south gets have high walls with dens and peaks so that the lioness and Empala cubs can observe the Empala opposing any trespassers. Although there are no east and west gates, there are mining, bug-catching, fishing, and even harvesting spots located on both sides.

Apex Rivals
While many think the Empala is the strongest monster in certain areas, the Empala has a predator/prey rival that will sometimes confront it. Although this monster hasn't been catalogued or even seen, though some say from a distance it looks similar to a primate (aka: a monkey). According to myth it's said that this monster's power rivals that of an Empala, and that sometimes every several years, the Empala and this Unknown monster have a confrontation, there has been no known victor considering both usually retire to care for their wounds. This unknown beast (Monster X) has a predator/prey relationship with the Empala in which Monster X is capable of killing and being killed by Empala and Empala is capable of killing and being killed by Monster X. In myths it's also said that the reason for the Empala's sudden migration to and from "The Pride" is because Monster X's species begins to overpopulate the volcano region forcing them out, although the Empala always returns taking back its throne each time. There are other monsters such as the Alatreon, Akantor, Ukanlos, Stygian Zinogre, Brachydios, and few other Elder Dragons that rival and can even defeat the Empala, Alatreon being one of 3 main rivals, which also includes the Akantor, and Monster X.

Ecology
This ecology can only be unlocked after defeating a stronger form of the Empala in the high ranked guild quests.
