I feel that we need a video about tail attacks and kicks to look further into how combat happens between animals from the same and different species

Large broods mean a very predatory environment with high death rates. There is a reason why the Horrats aren't apex predators (the Horraines rule) in Africa but are on the break off island of Lemuria the Horrats are top bat.

On many levels of the biota a predator can be prey to other predators up the ladder.

Call them HORRATS for HORRor bATs I so dislike not naming things. Lots of different future predators about some of them sharks and birds.

Godzilla is launched into space and goes to planet X

I would love to see a Godzilla film wherein people harvesting Godzilla for medical purposes and those who take the cure become monsters

We really need more mammalian based monsters I think. I know we’re working with wyverns as a base and they give the impression of being purely scaled creatures, but I feel like a solid wolf/big cat based monster would present an interesting new concept (particularly if they create a new class for them like furred-wyvern). Also we should totally get a snake. Just like a big ass snake. Like titanaboa type thing.

This would be such a good story to adapt into an anthology series, similar to black mirror

Great video, as always. I know that I´m late, but Najarala is not only poisonous, but also venomous: its bite induces the paralysis state.

Inhaling eggs huh.

Personally I think WWZ was already an excellent novel, and after Covid its even more poignant. Max Brooks predicted literally exactly how the world would handle a pandemic. America lies until it’s too late, China hides it similarly, Russia barely hangs by a thread. The communist countries do best. They pump out vaccines they hope will work but realistically are as much “get back to work” placebo as they are actually medicine.

THIS IS AMAZING. half way through im like wow great videeeeeeeeeooo...... youre telling me i get 40 more min of this beauty? yes plz. subbed haha!

Man, make sure to let us know when you watch all the Planet of the Apes movies and tell us what you think!

Are you talking about Joe Biden?

id say jhos weird mouth is meant to work kind of like a battering ram, a meat tenderizer headed brute, most of his move set consists of reeling back and then just slamming his toothy face into you, maybe the irregular tooth arrangement is meant to distribute the force and maximize trauma in a way. He's basically a tube of muscle, especially his neck and is very robust so can probably support such a function, the corroding saliva is probably to aid in digestion a bit after prey is battered to death

I am so glad someone is acknowledging the existence of Vermithrax and how she is the standard by which ALL dragons have been compared ever since. I love her. She was the first film dragon I fell in love with. She was created in the 80s and her effects STILL look beautiful!

i mean, Brachydios and Zinogre could both have grown that symbiotic relationships to defend from human hunters, they seem to hunt so many monsters that at this point they are piece of the environment

I once at a Carrot cake made from spoiled mix. I thought it just had alot of nutmeg.

Wouldn't be surprised if Goss Hibernated during warmer seasons

A correction: There have been several documented instances of male lions that seemed to specialize in taking down healthy bull water buffalo. It isn't common, but it has happened more than a few times.

Other things to keep in mind.. 1. A persistence hunting predator may purposefully target the largest prey animals with the most impressive horns/antlers. Such prey animals have more mass too move and would likely become exhausted more quickly. 2. Predatory animals outside of insects, fish, and small reptiles, never have horns or spikes. Horns are primarily for intraspecies combat over territory or mating rights. Predators already have teeth and claws and have no need to invest further in large, heavy, horns or spikes to engage in combat. 3. Claws do not slice or cut. They can only puncture, grip, and rip. Nature is good at making claws with sharp points, not so much with sharp edges. 4. Predators do not begin a hunt by roaring at their prey. Not unless they specifically want the prey to run in order to exhaust it for an easier kill. 5. Predators don't hunt things that are just as likely to kill them as they are to kill it. 6. There is no such thing as "bleed damage" or a hunting strategy of injuring an animal and then waiting for it to bleed to death. That's not a real hunting strategy and never has been. That isn't too say that every once in a while a prey animal doesn't bleed to death, but that is never the intended hunting strategy of the predator. And the larger the prey animal, the more difficult it becomes for them to bleed to death. By the time you get to something that weighs several tons, it may be almost impossible for them to bleed to death as the wound is likely to close before the animal loses enough blood to die. This is because the bigger an animal gets, the more volume they have compared to surface area, meaning they have more blood for their size than smaller animals, and would need to lose more blood than they can possibly spill in order to die.

All I imagine baby Val Hazak is just a leech an big fucking leech

Since you don't have, and prolly wont make unless forced to by a drought in content, a video about Magnamalo, i'll say it here. But i hate Nergigante and how it embodies the catering towards mainstream appeal that started with World. Nerg literally looks like the dragons i used to draw as a 5 year old and his lore also sounds as if a lil kid made it. "The inmortal dragon of death that punches really hard and kills all the other strongest dragons and he eats them and he has spikes and it hurts to touch him" like, come on, dude. And while it works for people who take MH on its face value, it just pisses me off beyond belief, and Rise having some of the most unique designs the series has seen in a while yet being tarnished by Nergigante's "rule of cool" hurts the series greatly. Magnamalo is the perfect example cuz it had aaaaall the potential in the world to be just as cool as Goss Harag, but it chose to be the bastard song of Zinogre and Nergigante. Magnamalo's concept is a lot more thoughts out than Nerg in the sense that it's a plate armored Samurai Tiger, and while it's edgy as fuck, it's design is actually interesting to look at. The problem arises when they didn't really think about Magnamalo ecologically, just mythically, and he feels out of place. Also his design focused more into giving him spikes and blades rather than making him look like he has armor, so as you said in the video he looks fat. He looks fat cuz the blades in his body look like Nergigante's spikes rather than an outer plate of armor. 2 things could had greatly saved Magnamalo's design: 1) Making it sleek as a panther or a real tiger, and making his blades the equalizer in ecology as to make up for his lack of bodymass. Like a non flying Nargacuga. 2) Doubleing down on the Samurai side and making Magnamalo bulky as fuck, kind of like the new dog monster in wilds except Magna would reach said mass through the implementation of protrusions that actually resemble armor pieces and heavy plating. Ecologically, Magnamalo being a regular monster rather than an elder hurts him deeply cuz he doesn't feel like a normal animal at all and if anything, he looks more like an elder than other elders like Teostra or Kushala if you were to strip them off their weather control. Also as you pointed out, Elders already struggle to fit ecologically so it would be more forgivable since expectations are lower. While unlike, i hope you'd take the time to read this and tell me, specially if you disagree. For i love your vision of the series and your speculations veing grounded on real ecology.

But does Aptinoth taste like chicken

I always thought brachydios uses less slime against small annoying target(the hunter) as a way to save some energy and have an area denial advantage against nimble hunters. Then, fighting bigger target using their "angered mode", when the slime explodes almost on contact to be effective and quickly be done with a risky fight. Seeing the nose and jaws, looks like it could immobilise a prey with a bite, cover it with saliva before punching it away or while being held. Sadly, no document talks about it, just me interpreting my MHtri gameplay as a kid.

You think we could make a video on how to train a Raptor/Dromeaosaur

The Deviljho’s teeth design has always reminded me of sheepshead fish who use their teeth for breaking apart tough-shelled crustaceans.

Quick question, have you done a video over narwa and ibushi? If you have I cant find them :(

Did Unnatural History Channel just suggest the idea of a Monster Hunter "Mystery Dungeon"? Shit, I'd pay good money to play that game. Let me play as the monsters!

Weren't the Orcs undead? Correct me if I'm wrong about any of this but weren't they also slaves in the novels and somewhat the movies, do they reproduce naturally or are they finite? Please explain.

This isn't related to the video, but seeing as the new movie just came out, would you be willing to talk about A Quiet Place and the aliens from that series?

I'd like to point out that Gammoth as an excellent food source for Tigrex extends beyond predation and into scavenging as well. Dispersing Gammoth and solitary bulls may indeed be at more risk of predation, but far more critically, they're more likely to suffer natural mortality. Our fossils of mammoths in the real world are incredibly male-biased because males were so much more likely to die, and to die in ways that lent themselves well to fossilization. A slip in muddy terrain or a fall into deep waters could be survived by females with a herd to pull them out or help them recover, but for males, it more often than not spelled doom. Solitary Gammoth undoubtedly would suffer similar fates with similar frequency. It's entirely possible that Tigrex might forego hunting a Gammoth entirely depending on conditions but still follow it around-- a bull in peak condition may be immune to predation, but it is not immune to nature's wrath, and when that occurs, it leaves a bountiful scavenge too good to pass up. Even if it doesn't die, a solitary Gammoth, even in peak condition, that becomes bogged down in mud may suddenly lose its immunity to predation due to the difficulty moving.

I always assumed Rathalos was more based on a Golden Eagle

Anjanaths, are you seeking single local Rathians in your area? Click here @17:30

This video is all fine and dandy, but we need a 10 hour long analysis on the wiggler and it's consequences on the new world

Some brainstorms: We can have period movies form monster universes like how Godzilla rage across time comics handled the story. Even maybe what if scenarios where we can explore different topics with underaged 20-40 min shorts (like Star Wars Visions) even with different art styles, we can have independent non Godzilla movies (maybe more for Toho) where classic monsters have minus one treatment and try to retell the topics covered in their source material. Monsterverse can have a pandemic movie cause by meganulas and megaguirus fleeing from hollow earth from rodan. Maybe hollow earth plants that make their way to the surface (kaiju poops) and have breeding activities that destroy cities (like legion plant in gamera 2) and mothra or other kaijus need to deal with it. A titan experiencing overcharge and starts contaminating earth with radiation (burning Godzilla topic but with other monsterverse monsters). Make the monarch timeline into movies or series (mothra discovery, rodan temple etc):

I just hope some day anjanath , just dont get totally bodied, that at least he can stand his ground...for at least 5 seconds

Dont look at the views. Youre a legend for this. Makimg my slow working days bareable

Actually if you watched Jurassic World, you’ll know that hybrid species exist. This leads me to believe the Rocket Gigalodon was actually the accidental child between Seething Valstrax and Savage Plesioth

I mean its very plausible! Infact, the device you are using now was made by them!

I do appreciate the balanced view and giving the context around that infamous GRRM quote as the braindead mouthbreathers on twitter like to sperg out about for no real reason other than it's popular and the tv show ended like shit therefore all of it must be shit. I may have my own issues with martin but his writing is superb and going "bbut it's not as good as tolkein" doesnt mean anything. It's truly great writing but very different from what tolkein wanted in his books so they're not really comparable in the way the twitterites screech on about. I really love his books, some of my favorites, shame he cant get up off his ass to finish the series he started 2 decades ago. Great video again.

She always felt like she was meant to be elder dragon tier of power lore wise

I was listening to this while playing MHW and when the theme started playing at the end, I tensed up and panicked. I think I got shell-shock, bros.

I was really surprised to learn that Vaal was an elder dragon. It just didn't hit me with that oomph when it came to hunting it

First Project Apollo (Cows), then Mustelon (Mustelids) and now killer king kongs

while capcom probably will fall back on brachy being a pugilist shell cracker. I always imagined it as a mix of an ore eater and a fungivore/large protist colony eater, with its symbiotic slime mold initially latching onto it to avoid predation and later becoming true symbiosis

a question I've always had, which will likely never have a true answer and go more into headcanon, is how many of these quests actually happen. A lot of them I could imagine being non-canon and existing purely for the players benefit, especially a lot of the challenge quests that show up as free dlc. With a lot of monster hunter games I see most stuff after the credits as entirely non-canon, with a non-game version of these stories probably being much smaller in scope and more about exceptionally skilled individuals helping their community and the environment alike. Although that is purely a personal interpretation, I also imagine not every hunt would result in an actual kill and I'd expect more capture or scare goals for quests just relocating a monster in an area that harms both it and the player. Monster hunter also seems to have some degree of magic-like elements, especially in terms of how extreme biology can get, so perhaps rapid mutation and evolution creating new invasives on a non-geologic timescale is more of a feasible occurrence. All that said, I enjoy how you apply this kind of lens to such a creative and silly franchise
