Still wonder why they changed Narga’s diet to big herbivores.... he has a lot of clear evolutionary adaptations for predating on smaller prey like mosswine and specially kelbi
What I'm thinking is that Capcom thought that those prey items would be too small to sustain Narga for long so they switched him to larger prey for this reason.
Not really though… I mean we know little about monsters other than the general characteristics, but Nargacuga feeding on smaller prey is nothing off the reality, there are plenty of large predators that specialize in small prey in our world and some small predators that take on large prey; Kelbi are quite numerous and they were good in size for pre-5th gen Nargacuga, which were smaller than the ones from Rise and Iceborne, not to mention that right after Iceborne released Capcom made a fest for the 15th anniversary of the franchise in which they showed Nargacuga still preying on Kelbi. Probably they just didn’t feel like killing Kelbi in the games which is still strange…
