So, I made a video describing monsters from Monster Hunter with a certain audio, and since I know more about the games and Wilds is soon, it felt appropriate to revamp it, so... here it is

Even in death, life still finds its way. Maybe it's cheating a bit, but I figure its skull still counts and I get to include some crab :]

I didn’t have a part in this one since no organ system illustrations were needed and the bones of crabs are on the outside, but it’s still a really fun video because crabs are always a really fun thing to research.

Like UHC said, the duo having half the legs of other decapods is actually advantageous at a larger size. Less legs means less energy expenditure and more focus on the legs you have, and many of the fastest running animals only use 4 or 2 legs so it’s also a speed advantage.

And surprisingly, at least in sunbreak, Hermitaur and Ceanataur have somewhat realistic crab mouths. While their mouths are surrounded by spikes, they do have 2 out of the 3 maxillipeds visible. Albeit just oriented weird.

I do have to disagree with UHC thinking they’re unrelated though. They have too many anatomical features in common and their juveniles are identical as well. But as far as where they and by extension Shen Gaoren go in the decapod family… it’s hard to say. I’m not entirely sure since I’m not very knowledgeable about crustacean phylogenetics. Hermit crabs are an obvious answer but the ‘taurs have abdomens that are very different from real hermit crabs (although it’s entirely possible the person who modeled them didn’t know what hermit crab asses looked like).

I know that my posts here are pretty infrequent, but that’s just a combination of multiple irl factors I don’t want to burden others with. Anyway, after month of everyday work I finally finished this little project of, basically custom HD renders of all Large Monster icons in Sunbreak. Can’t honestly say these are true HD versions since I didn’t use same brushes. Still, I tried to keep the style of original icons (since it’s my favorite in the franchise) to the best of my ability. Now I just need advice on where would be the best place to post them so that everyone could freely download both with and without background versions in full resolution (Twitter isn’t an option due to its generative AI problem) . I will upload some examples with this post, but Tumblr will unfortunately lower the quality

And while I acknowledge that this kind of fanart isn’t particularly creative this project definitely helped me get back to understanding how colors work
