What monsters are aggro to what monsters?

During a Levequest in Mor Dhona (One of our Naturalists is Missing) I had the joy of having the wanted target for Mor Dhona to spawn... and it spawned right next to a Gigas. The gigas proceeded to aggro the wanted target (But of course, the wanted target didn't attack back due to not actually being there.)

I was wondering... is there a list of monsters and their aggressiveness to eachother?

There's a few FATEs with this sort of mechanic (Don't Drink The Water in Moraby Bay comes to mind; the jackals and dodos in that one attack each other). I don't think it's usually a thing though, although I've heard it was a bit more prevalent back in 1.xx.

There's a FATE near Urth's that spawns a giant boar boss, and if I remember correctly, it will aggro onto and kill any of the boars that are normally around there. Only reason I remember it is because it was a nuisance for my boar hide farm runs.

Yup, Phecda, boss of the What Gored Before FATE. The Sylph beast tribe quest FATE What A Bore also spawns a bunch of smaller boars that all attack the boss. And then Simurgh is the Word actually has a "Lone Coeurl" that engages the boss at the start of the FATE, though it usually dies really fast. I only saw it myself because I was at that spot waiting on the FATE for a hunt daily.

Too bad this doesn't exist outside blue circles on the map...

There's also the Tempered Sylphs v Garleans in Larkscall, and the one in Bronze Lake on the west side with the Coeurls... think it's the Lone Coeurl gets killed by a tyrant/deathwing type monster

There's a FATE at Candlekeep Quay (Lower La Noscea) involving two people fighting each other where you can take them both down.

I heard that this was true in 1.0 but idk since I never played it. However Garlok spawned the other day near the "It's no Lupus" fate and someone aggro'd Cancer so we were fighting Garlok alongside the giant crab and they looked like they were fighting each other. Nothing short of epic to say the least.

There are other MMOs like Rift where there are factions of NPCs that will fight each other on site. There isn't really anything like that here.

Probably two exceptions like already mentioned though:
1)Fates: These are scripted events. So what happens in the fate is just a little mini story so the NPCs can be hostile to each other sometimes if the mini story of the "fate" demands it.
2)Leves: These are scripted too. Same deal

But in general? There aren't any hostile critters that don't like each other... Even the A and S Rank hunt mob NPCs are neutral to everything but players.

That and, well, NPC mobs don't really "travel" anyway. They pace in a little short "train track" of walking but, they aren't normally even going to see anything beyond their buddies...
