AgitoXX said: Wait, why is the Shen Gao Ren's shell bigger than the Lao Shan Lung's head?
One explanation is that Shen Gaoren is a rather ancient monster. The skull of the Lao-Shan Lung it resides in suggests that Lungs back in those times eclipsed the height and weight of Lao-Shan Lungs that roam Minegarde in the modern times. Let us just say that the Dragonator would have to be spammed repeatedly as (my preferred weapon of choice for fighting Lao-Shan Lung) lances would be like toothpicks to this Ancient Lao-Shan Lung.
Then again, comparing the size of the average hunter to Lao's head, the picture could just be suggesting that Lao-Shan Lung is just sizing up Shen Gaoren, looking from side to side in a questionable manner.
Carapacions are always in skull shells that are far bigger than any of the monsters that those skulls come from. The reason you never fight a Monoblos that would fit the skull on a Hermitaur's back is likely because it would be far too large to effectively fight, rather than a Monoblos that large actually existing.
Either that, or fighting a Daimyo Hermitaur small enough to fit into a normal Monoblos skull just wouldn't feel as heroic. It wouldn't be much large than a normal Hermitaur, then.
It's usually more about making the games enjoyable than having everything being perfectly consistent and making complete sense.
