A noob's question

alright, I have a question that may sound noobish to some of you. I am fairly new to MH, so I don't know much about the system(In fact, I just started to understand how skills worked)

SO, here it is:

I recently slayed a Gypceros, and when the window popped up to tell me its length, there was a small silver crown next to the new number, with a blue dot on it. For any extra info; the length was in orange text, and the actual length itself was 1206.3

So, what does the crown mean?

Well, if it's anything like other MH games, the crown was to indicate it's length. It means it's close to the max or minimum size of the monster. The Blue dot indicates max, a red dot indicates min. There's a gold crown for getting even closer. But more or less, it's just to say you killed a really big one in that situation. And I'd say good work, because size normally has some impact on their health.

Oh. Well, thanks for thinking that; it wasn't really that hard; in fact, it felt as though it went faster than some(Although that was the first time I used my Eager Cleaver on one).
