Why is Extinction missing “nest” dinos?

Does anyone know if Wildcard was ever asked or did they ever give a reason to not having an endgame nest type Dino on Extinction? This map seems it was made with the possibility of a nest dino in mind either on the side that extends out into the open (Possible nests could have been embedded into the cliffs?) or in the caves that drip and run with what looks like blood.

Im not speculating that there was supposed to be a nest dino on the map simply because of how a location looks, but because every previous DLC with the exception of the center had some sort of nest dino. Why leave out such an important feature that each other DLC had and was a key part in the story. The ark created wyverns and drakes to give the humans a bigger challenge. So if the earth is corrupted in the same way the arks were. Then it’s overseer wouldn’t have skipped straight to having giant titans squishing cities. It would have kicked it up a notch slightly. Just like scorched earth did with the Scar and Aberration did with the Drake zones.

My thoughts are that the Managarmrs were redone from being a nest dino for some reason. Each key area on extinction has one creature that is new but the snow biome. It has the snow owl and the Mana. 

Anyone else’s thoughts on this? I think that would also help explain why these creatures started out being pretty powerful and rivaled Wyverns and Drakes. I think it was meant to be on their level in the first place and changed possibly due to time?

You’re right. Nest’s themselves we’re not important, but the Ark used similar styled creatures in both DLC’s when it sensed that the humans were surpassing its other challenges. It was the Ark’s way of ramping up the challenge of the ark. The same way Deathworms and Reapers started appearing. This could be compared to the corrupted dinos on earth fitting in to that same category. 

It just seems there’s a category of the arks process of “ramping up the challenge” that’s missing on Extinction without this type of creature being there.

Before they go any further with the nests they need to fix the bugs that they have...

 

If the egg is in the nest for ages, when someone picks it up, it'll instantly expire.

If the destroywilddinos command is used, the nests aren't wiped (Which really they should be as the bug above forces you to have to clear the nests before anything will come out)

 

These bugs have been there for so long that they needed to fix them months back as there's nothing worse than going in to get an egg, seeing a good one, grabbing it, and having it simply disappear...
