we know subspecies when these games released where merely something like exotic versions of the normal monsters, gameplay wise being simply recolors
do we know why it has such a disproportionately large horn?
is this guy like, 2x stronger than the one that destroyed schrade or something?

Might be a good question for the lore forum, but I haven't personally seen much about it. Red Dragon Fatalis is often thought to be holding incredible rage, so that could have something to do with it. It's really hard to say because I haven't done much research on it yet.

Also, don't forget that "subspecies" as a category of monster technically did not exist in Monster Hunter G, at least not formally in the game. They were called subspecies in MH2 for the first time, which is also the first game that marks when you're hunting one. However something interesting is that Crimson Fatalis is the single exception - it is not called "Miraboreas Subspecies" in the Quest to fight it, it's just called "Miraboreas" or Fatalis. This has remained true in Japanese all the way up to MHXX.
