where are the baby monsters??

[twiggy]

i know the rathians have nests with eggs in them but where are the hatchlings at? how do the other monsters even reproduce?

So, lorewise, baby raths can vary between being born grey and developing color, or starting out with color; the norm on rathian's chin is essentially a nipple, and secretes a milk-like liquid that the babies suck on
Black blos are just regular blos that change black due to severe hormone imbalances, and being black means theyre wanting to mate, pregnant, or recently laid eggs
Nergigante reproduce asexually, their spikes, if having absorbed enough bioenergy, when they fall off have the potential to grow into a new nergigante, sorta like a starfish
Deviljho have been known to eat their own babies
Brachydios are very harsh with their babies, usually leaving them after only being a few weeks old

Same thing could be said to another real species

Can you imagine? Sneaking up to a Rathian's nest and seeing an adorable little baby Rath just curled up and napping in there? And then you pull out your hammer and bash its brains in with one fell swoop, smiling as the blood and brain matter splatter all over your armor (made from its parents' skin btw) and face?

I'd be down.

Or a baby Banbaro, smash one of those and it would make a neat hat, got tiny horns on it already

LR hunters are stealing all the eggs.
