  • Have you ever wondered about the biology of monsters in Monster Hunter: World? A nature documentary style deep dive into an ecosystem of giants… (Part II: • The Biology of Monster... )

    The vast environments of the video game ‘Monster Hunter: World’ are home to incredible forms of life - from thundering behemoths to ravenous hunters. While the game focuses on battling monsters, every creature on this continent has a life of their own, with unique day-to-day patterns, biological intricacies, and roles within the larger ecosystems.
    For this entry into the Archive, we’ll show the life of this continent in entirely new ways, and bring you closer to these creatures than ever before. This series will reveal the biology behind these so-called monsters, and investigate how they compare to wildlife on our planet. And although doing fieldwork in this region represents a significant risk, I’m determined to document these extreme lifeforms firsthand.
    So, let’s embark on this expedition together, and discover what awaits in this land of giants…

    Here's an interesting thought:
    The Kestodons are clearly seen foraging near the coastline, so unless they just like the taste of saltwater, I'd say that they are scavenging for washed-up fish and crustaceans. Because despite being a herbivore there's nothing that says you can turn down a good, free meal. Meat is much easier to digest than plant matter after all.
    It could be a nice link to their real-life inspiration as well, as newer studies support the idea that Pachycephalosaurs were more omnivorous than previously thought.

    14:47 The Deviljho possess a MASSIVE high-speed metabolism, sadly, this drives them into a permanent state of hunger and food seeking which if not sustained it could lead to madness. It's no surprise to encounter entire ecosystems that lack of the Hunters Guild's presence at the verge of collapsing because a Deviljho arrived and stayed far too long.
    That's why the Hunter's guild, an institution dedicated to track, capture and regulate the population of this world creatures often refer the Deviljho as "The Eater of Worlds", though the Hunters, the Guild's agents who are send to deal with these kind of problems; gave to this extremely dangerous creature an unofficial, more charming nickname, THE PICKLE. You could guess why.

Sure, they are often considered closer to forces of nature rather than normal beasts, but I don't recall anything listing them as generally paranormal or akin to cryptids, especially since though rare, Elder Dragons are known to exist, unlike most cryptids that tend to be very, very wonky in the confirmed existence department at best. As for research tools available, it more appears that they have trouble fully understanding them with what they have due to their abilities often having strange sources, but more often than not there's at least theories about how they work, with a biological basis in their abilities. Examples include Chameleos' invisibility involving subtle electrical charges and a special organ in the Kushala Daora's horns being tied to it's Wind powers somehow.

      @bradleydevron Před 2 lety

      No, you are right in how it is perfect to cover. Monster Hunter has loads put in to how the monsters are designed, down to the tiniest detail. Diablos, for example, doesn't have sharp claws or talons, instead having more blunt nails on it's wings for digging and flat, rounded toenails to have a wider spread of weight on the sand when walking atop the sandy dunes it calls home. There's also how they act in response to each other, be it ambivalence, to fighting for territory, to more subtle interactions like how Pukei-Pukei bullies weaker monsters but flees at stronger ones, and even then it's clear it's not always the case as proven by the Pukei-Pukei in the Witcher collab, which willingly helps Geralt out if he frees it from the Leshen's roots. Heck, the monsters that are more fantastical (like Elder Dragons) are the major exceptions and even then that's the point, being considered so in-universe, which goes double (or even triple perhaps) with the outright supernatural monsters, which besides Final Fantasy's Behemoth and The Witcher's Leshen includes the Fatalis Trio, Dire Miralis, and Alatreon.

      Rise has one where someone wanted Nargacuga boots or has an young aristocrat looking to hunt for kicks and we gotta save their ass. What a drop in writing quality.
      Older now non canon lore states a civilization hunting and harvesting monsters to the point of war and the world now being basically post apocalyptic after the monsters wiped them out.
      To me it gives a sense of complexity to the struggle as even the simplest creatures have an instinctual trauma against their old oppressors. But again not very canon anymore sadly.

    I'm so pumped for this series!! hope you enjoy exploring the world of Monster Hunter and more people get to enjoy it as much as we fans have been doing for years thanks to you ^^ But there are a few things I noticed that I would like to ask about, mainly that it seems you left some parts of the monsters' ecology out of your exposition (i.e. pukei-pukei's tail, anjanath's breath, tobi-kadachi's flying squirrel-like "wings") and I'm curious as to why. Is it due to the video's length constraints or did you prefer a more "realistic" approach to the creatures? I'm relatively new to your chanel so I might not know the full scope of your work methodology, so excuse me if it comes across as "nit-picky", I am very much in love with the franchise and I've been enjoying your chanel for a while and want the best experience possible from this (your) project.
    Btw, which sources are you using for the series? Are you collaborating with someone in the community? Also, the endemic fauna (smaller critters in the game) could very well have full-on documentaries for their role on the ecosystem, just a thought for maybe later down the line ;)
    Nice job, and happy hunting!

    Monster Hunter World takes the ecology and life cycles of Monsters to a whole other level. I really hope future games represent more of Monster Hunter World in the future. It would be cool to see the nice touches MHW monsters have gotten given to earlier monsters. Lagiacrus, Gore Magala and even many of the Dromes having more significant places in the world would be amazing to take in.

  • @octopusoup

    This is a fresh way to experience the Monster Hunter series. Usually as the hunter I'm so absorbed in the fight and grind that I miss out on the unique design and traits that each of the creatures have and how it helps them interact with the environment. Looking forwards to more of this entry.

    Watching this video had an interesting side effect:
    Understanding more the environment of MHW just made me appreciate more the fear that alatreon instigates on the guild. Knowing that there’s this enormous ecosystem filled with life and there’s a monster, a dragon that can destroy it all by simply walking through it is honestly amazing. Now I love my favorite elder even more.

  • @zaclovesschool2273

    Once played this game while tripping on acid and listening to fear inoculum...this jungle was absolutely insane. I fought against the Anjanath and could literally feel how absolutely pissed off it was. Was using the bug-twinspear weapon and was a very intense experience overall. Tripping can really help realize how much attention to detail was put into a piece of media, and its the main reason I loved this game as well as bloodborne and elden ring so much

  • @sameldarwich2490

  • @purplehaze2358
    @purplehaze2358 Před 2 lety +8

    A neat detail about Monster Hunter is that, for the most part, the majority of monsters follow a similar overall build to the tetrapods of the real world. Four limbs, a tail, a torso, and a head with two eyes, a nose, a mouth, and ear canals. With some notable exceptions, it truly does feel like many of the creatures in the game could have evolved alongside each other on the same planet. Something that’s surprisingly uncommon.
