In terms of intelligence, I'd say it's a tie between most primate-based members of the Fanged Beasts, Glavenus, and Atoraru-Ka. However, I agree with Pabmel about Berukyurosu. Only the smartest of animals have been reported to intentionally commit suicide, i.e. humans and dolphins.

When it comes to lower intelligence, I'd say Khezu and Gigginox are the dumbest animals in Monster Hunter. Khezu and Gigginox are (for the most part) portrayed as blind animals that rely on pure instinct in order to do nothing more than reproduce and survive. Other than them, I'd say Deviljho is pretty damn stupid as well. I mean, the thing eats species into extinction if it stays in one spot. An animal designed to do nothing more than eat and reproduce is most likely, in basic terms, a dumbass.
