      Technically it is. In the lore it's referred (along other titles) as the black mountain serpent. It is also stated that it can destroy entire regions just by moving, making forest and mountains disappear, producing earthquakes and inundations when moving in the ocean, all this would obviously destroy entire cities. Then why it's not considered a black dragon? Literally because it's a serpent. Devs have declared that the "secret" final monsters of each game is created to be a "black dragon" level threat. Let's take for example Akantor, it is stated to fight crimson fatalis just for territory, but it's actually a flying wyvern due to his body, so it is stronger than a regular fatalis.
      Also Safi was created to be a black dragon but Devs said in a interview that they change his color only because they wanted to add variety and they thought red was cool, as funny as it sounds

    There's a bit of misinformation to disseminate, so let's go over it all:
    - While "Black Dragon" is applicable, their true shared group is *Forbidden Monsters* in reference to how their members never had info given about them in marketing prior to the 5th generation
    - The Guild at large never burned records on the Forbidden Monsters, it was a small group within it that only did so for the records on Alatreon
    - Safi'jiiva isn't a Black Dragon or Forbidden Monster, but an entirely new one known as the "Red Dragon" to contrast Fatalis and the Black Dragons
    - "White" Fatalis is officially known as *Old Fatalis* nowadays

      The term "Forbidden Dragon" is not a term used in the actual in-world setting of MH. That was a term used by the dev team to specify a group of monsters (the Black Dragons) that they are literally forbidden from talking about under any capacity in any of their promo materials. This was covered by Gaijinhunter's Forbidden Monsters video which covers the developers notes on the subject hence why I never used the term here as its a Developer Terminology, not one that's actually used in the game's lore.
      As for the burning of records, the Third Fleet Master says in Iceborne they burnt records because they "Feared the Old Gods" (plural) which is what they also referred to the other Black Dragons (Dire Miralis is also considered a devil as well)
      The Safi'jiiva aspect is something I also covered in an old video: Old Black Dragon vs New Red Dragon. This was originally just a hypothesis because we didn't know why Alatreon entered the New World until the Dive Into Iceborne Book released (which I can grab the info from if needed), that said Safi'jiiva's "presumed" status is a Fandom thing, I grabbed the info I had of how Safi is meant to be an opposite of Fatalis right off the book (with Safi actually having an original Black Dragon design) which makes it in the Black Dragon category as this category doesn't necessarily mean the dragon itself is black in colour, being linked to other Black Dragons puts them in the group as they are known under the Dangerous First Class monsters name as well
      Old Fatalis name has been around since MH2, both White and Old Fatalis have been used for ages

      In Iceborne the Third Fleet Master tells us that a group of weird people came up to her telling her to fear the old gods. They're not the guild, they're the group that's hidden within the guild. The guild would like nothing more than to collect as much knowledge about Alatreon as possible.

    They're not called Black Dragons. Those are officially known as Forbidden Monsters.
    There is only ONE "Legendary Black Dragon" and that's Fatalis. The others only have Black Dragon in their title because they were mistaken for Fatalis.
    Dangerous First Class is a fan made term. The games and books never called them that.
    The only official classification is "Calamity Class Elder Dragon" which is the highest official class. It also includes the likes of Narwa, the Morahns, Dalamadur, Amatsu, Gaismagorm and other such monsters.

    Sigh. This is why this community is in a mess of misinformation. Black dragons are not a thing and never have been. First of all they were called forbidden monsters which consisted of (fatalis alatreon and dire miralis). This was not a power class just final bosses that were not ever advertised. After the 15th anniversary forbidden monsters were done away with. In terms of power and tiering they are all calamity class elder dragons in which all final bosses consist of. So every final boss like giasmagorm amatsu and shara are on the same tier as "black dragons". The misinformation has to stop and youtubers need to be the ones to do it

  • @daviddelapazgil7274
    @daviddelapazgil7274 Před 6 měsíci +49

    Just an addition to specify things a little bit more.
    Technically speaking the concept of black dragons its a fan invention made by the existence of fatalis, alatreon and dire miralis for the mere motive of being black colored. The only moment in MH history where devs have used this therm was in a interview where they specified that safi was designed originally to be black coloured but they made him red to contrast with fatalis because they also wanted to be his contrapart, but they are equivalent in therms of power.
    In reality most "final secret monsters" are made to be a "black dragon threat level", the problem here is that a lot of people have romanticised fatalis and the black dragon category a lot.
    They usually use the history of how a fatalis destroyed Schrade to determine his power but keep in mind one thing, as impresive as it could sound, it only consist on destroying one single region and we have the same examples with other monsters.
    Is stated that Dalamadur can vanish entire mountains and cities just by moving, Amatsu can pull entire forests to the sky just by being there, a ceadeus youngling who was compared to a kid who is still growing his teeth can produce massive earthquakes, even Akantor have notes referencing that it doesn't have any natural predators and his only threat are Crimson Fatalis, who fights him only for territory.
    The only ones who are not that powerful are maybe Gogmazios and probably some other monsters who I can't remember right now.
    We need to remember that the answer to why other monsters doesn't attack cities at that scale like fatalis did it's literally stated in the lore. Normally none monster would attack any city on purpose unless it have a very specific motive and fatalis motive was because white fatalis commanded him to do it during the great old war, because humans where a threat to the ecosystem due to overhunting and colonization. The same occured with Safi for example, Alatreon went to the new world because he was also a threat to the global ecosystem.

      It's the older lore yes, but since we don't have any information about why fatalis was in the castle in iceborne we can only attach to this information until something new comes up.
      Anyway, supposedly, the only retcon we had recently was the confirmation about us killing fatalis in older games being non canonical and being the one in iceborne the first canon fatalis killed.
      If you are curious this comes from the great old war history, basically humans were too broken and started to overhunt monsters, due to this the strongest monsters made an alliance and fought back organised against humans. The leader of this group was white fatalis.
      At one moment humans made an amalgamation of monsters and mechanical parts called the equal dragon weapon. This aberration was so powerful that it was necessary for white fatalis to fight it, being successful at destroying it but getting injured at the process.
      Then, some strong monsters were sent to different powerful human countries to destroy them, monsters like fatalis and probably alatreon as we saw in iceborne new lore. The first fatalis sent to Schrade failed his attack and fled to recover, but white fatalis sent another one, the one we fought later on, the first fatalis felt betrayed and retired to a volcano core transforming into a stronger crimson fatalis variant. These monsters are known right now as "forbidden monsters" because nobody has seen them since the old war, so who knows if there are more monsters who participate in this war. There are some theories about these powerful monsters not showing up in recent times being for example that they are still recovering from the war or that they decided to not intervene with humans until it is necessary again but these are just theories.

    My favorite part of the black dragon lore is that Alatreon is a complete outlier even there. I believe Dire Miralis was classified as a black dragon due to some perceived relation with Fatalis(same skeleton, and Fatalis and Miralis are similar in terms of naming convention). But then, there’s Alatreon, who’s just… really, absurdly destructive. He popped up on scene, was so cataclysmic that the guild went “oh fuck” and branded him a forbidden god.

    My biggest MonHun headcanon is that there are a series of ultradragons called red dragons, and are very much like black dragons but instead of focusing on death they focus on life. Where black dragons are all about destruction and the falling of life, red dragons are all about renewal and the cycle of life. I think that Safi’Jiiva is the first recorded red dragon, and that Gaismagorm might be one as well. They’re both focused on recycling and destruction moving upwards, and it makes them very, very different foes from black dragons.

      A Black Dragon whose name is left in legend as the threat that destroyed a country.What's the truth of history handed down as a legend? Where does it appear from, what kind of creature is it, and for what? It's hard for me to believe that it lives in Castle Schrade. I wonder if it transcends time and space and puts itself in a distortion. It's hard for me to believe it, but I've heard some outlandish rumours about someone suggesting a connection to another world somewhere in the desert. However, if a similar event were to occur in Schrade, the more I thought about it, the deeper my devotion would become. With the appearance of the Black Dragon, the world line where it was repelled from, and the possibility of creating a world line that couldn't be achieved... Assuming the existence of a parallel world that's different from historical facts, it makes sense to me that it's a fairy tale. I would also like to consider the reason why it's related to Humans. (From a memoir of a person who manages a certain letter)

      The Iceborne lorebook Capcom put out. He's supposed to be a rival to Fatalis, and because World was a reimaging of MH1 he acts as the Fatalis of the new world. Even his seige is supposed to call back to the time limited Fatalis seige events of MH1. Safi was even supposed to be black at first before they realized almost every single one of their most powerful monsters are black

      Despite the Zorah Magdaros being known to potentially cause mass destruction if it ever ended up dying, it's a case very similar to a volcano erupting. Zorahs aren't inherently destructive by nature, Black Dragons are. Black Dragons purposely cause destruction hence they are considered genuinely "evil" by many, Zorah Magdaros actually promote life by releasing bioenergy to nature upon death to promote new life, they just need to do it in a safe place as opposed to an already existing ecosystem (Guiding Lands is likely a case of a dead Zorah becoming a new region)

    Technically speaking, the black dragons are better known as the forbidden monsters as others have stated. Only a few of them have the actual moniker of "black dragon" in their English title. Dire miralis is the "smelting black dragon," Alatreon is the "blazing black dragon," and normal fatalis is simply and most poeticly "Black Dragon." While white fatalis is a forbidden monster you can't really call him a black dragon, his English title is "Ancestral Dragon." He also more commonly known as "Old Fatalis." Safi is also not a black dragon, he's classed as a new type, known as "Red Dragon." Granted allot of this is pure conjecture from player hypothesis as the devs have given no known information on the black dragons as they are true to their names "forbidden monsters." Always a fun topic to discuss though.

They took this structure and copy pasted it for safi’jiiva with some tweaks.

    When was safi ever considered a black? And if we count online games you missed two official (but non-mainline) black dragons.
