Monster Hunter One - All Small Monsters + Large Herbivores

[nazrigar]

Raptor Rush

Basically a tribute to velociraptor, deinonychus, and their legacy in pop culture!

From Dinobot of Transformers, to Dinorexmon of Digimon, to Pod and the Walking with Dinosaurs Utahraptor, and of course, Blue and the other raptors of Jurassic Park fame.

More Monster Hunter stuff! Happy Monster Hunter 20th anniversary!

[monster-musings]

Now that we've had time to analyze a lot of the Wilds footage from gamescom, I'd like to call attention to the new type of '-prey family' Bird wyverns:

Red and green! Awfully gnarly lookin' with a lot of spines. They'll actually turf war large monsters and attack them as a group; unlike the Jagras before them - who would only wait for a knockdown to attack - THEY CAUSE ONES.

Anatomically, it's closest to Genprey, between the feet and the tinier forelimbs.

While it differs in a lot of the details, they bear a lot of overall resemblances (especially in their proportions) to the version of Velociprey currently just seen in Sunbreak and Exoprimal. Just something to note. Tee hee.

Let’s visit Velociprey again!

In my opinion the Velociprey is the least annoying of the prey monsters

THE GREAT MONSTER HUNTER RANKING! Part 3

For this part, we're finally starting to look at the bulk of MH's monsters, the Wyverns. To start, the ones that bear the closest relation/resemblance to birds. In truth, they are divided into two sub-categories: the Theropod Bird Wyverns, and the True Bird Wyverns.

Little side-note before I go on, but one thing I've always found to be a little amusing is how almost every big monster is called a "Wyvern", despite most not looking anything the typical image of winged dragons with only wings and legs. My theory is that because Wyverns have only four limbs, so do all the monsters here named after them. Makes sense, right?

We'll look at the first one now. To sum up, these are basically raptors. No strings attached, these are big, JP-style raptors. Since this is a fantasy world, I'm more than willing to let some paleo-inaccuracy slide (though this franchise has ways of surprising me pleasantly). That said, I believe it was a major power move to label the most raptor-like of monsters as birds back during the time when there were still people in furious denial about real-life prehistoric raptors being the most bird-like of dinosaurs.

The Theropod Bird Wyverns:

"Get 'em, boys!"

Most of the Theropod Bird Wyverns all operate the same. A bunch of small raptors led by a really big one. And the hilarious thing is, the smaller raptors don’t do jack diddly squat to impede any hunter who has even the slightest idea of what they’re doing. The beginner hunters they’re meant to fight could literally pretend the minions don’t exist and it wouldn’t make much of a difference. Still, it’s nice as a part of their ecology, so I let it slide.

ANYWAY, the first one is the Velocidrome and its underlings, the Velociprey. For a starter, I love it mainly for its color scheme. The bright hues, especially the blood-orange claws, contrasting with the black stripes make this a visual treat, and there's something intriguing about how its hands are shaped almost like demonic rakes. Impressive for the first “large” monster ever fought in the franchise. 8/10.

(Coughing up sand) "Get 'em, boys!"

The Gendrome and its Genprey are the desert raptors, and they're not quite as interesting visually as their inland relatives. They fight by inflicting paralysis via their long fangs. Cool, but those fangs kinda make it look like they're wearing a mustache from a distance. Just not my thing, these guys are, especially when there are more interesting alternatives. 5/10.

"GeT 'Em bOys!"

Now here's a monster that got beaten with the ugly stick one too many times. The Iodrome and the Ioprey occupy the swamplands, and they've got some rather unusual designs to match their supposedly unpleasant abode. With heads shaped like hatchets and the ability to spit poison, they're definitely memorable for just how weird they are compared to their compatriots. Oh, and despite having to keep moist most of the time, they can inhabit volcanoes for some reason. Maybe that fact about the moistness is more of a "because they can" thing. I dunno, they just look so sickly, it's hard to look at them. But points for standing out in a crowd. 6/10.

"Assault the others, compatriots."

Giadrome is just a re-skinned Velocidrome with ice powers. Not impressed. 2/10.

"Tear 'em up, guys!"

The Great Jaggi marks a turning point in these types of monster. The Dromes all but got replaced by these bulkier, almost deadlier breeds. This guy may not be as vibrant as the Velocidrome he replaced, but he's a standout for just how much abuse his kind keeps inviting upon itself. Jaggi are described as being to larger monsters what chihuahuas are to bigger dogs. In that they will bark and taunt anything and anyone with no heed to the consequences. That might explain why Jaggis were such a punching bag in the series for the longest time, to the point where they've all but retired the big one while the little ones remain. It's a shame, as I like that streak of white hair and the very clearly JP Dilophosaurus-inspired frill on its head. Bring back the Great Jaggi, Capcom! He's a boisterous weakling, but he's our boisterous weakling! 7/10.

"Shhh...tear 'em up, guys."

On the flipside, the Great Baggi and the next Bird Wyvern here managed to escape being stuck in previous generations. Though if I'm being honest, looks aren't what make the Baggi neat. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice design with that horn almost looking like a pompadour haircut, but their trump card is the power in their spit. You see, it contains a sort of sleeping agent that makes its prey drowsy and unable to fight back. So the Baggi's prey could be peacefully sleeping as it's ripped limb from limb by the predator and its underlings. That's all kinds of messed up! Thankfully, it doesn't do enough to down a hunter that badly, but it sure is something to think about. 6/10.

"TEaR 'Em uP, gUYs!"

Just as the Iodrome was the resident raptor swamp freak, so too is the Great Wroggi. I'll admit, I'm a little put-off by the weird almost pig-like snout it has on top of its bloated neck sac that helps it produce the poisonous gasses it lobs at foes. But I like how its skin looks like that of a frog's, and I don't know if anyone's pointed this out, but I find myself fascinated by how its tails is shaped like that of a leaf. Just a neat little detail that goes a long way. 7/10.

"Aye, let's tear 'em up, party dudes!"

Because Great Jaggi got put on sabbatical, his replacement was the equally powerful (not saying much) Great Maccao. However, unlike the Jaggi, it's no team player, as these raptors are cowardly in nature and will often abandon one another if the going gets tough. That already means the Jaggi has one over them. Then again, I admire how their designs bring to mind how raptors were very much feathered, and it makes for some gorgeous plumage. Plus, I like how they fight by balancing on their tails and kicking like a reptilian kangaroo. It makes for a frantic and interesting fight. Still, I'll take the foolish resolve of the Jaggi over the good-looking cowardice of the Maccao. 6/10.

"Mine, mine, mine, mine, mine-"

Monster Hunter: World all but replaced the Theropod Bird Wyvern's signature mob tactics most likely due to giving that strategy to some Fanged Wyverns instead. So, the two new ones introduced go at it solo. The Kulu-Ya-Ku is notable for just how...well, it's got the head of a dodo bird, what do you want me to say? This thing isn't intimidating in the slightest. And it isn't supposed to be. This overgrown plucked turkey spends most of its time using its specially-designed hands to grab and run off with eggs, like how many used to perceive the Oviraptor of real-life prehistory. What's amusing is that if one attacks the arms while it's holding an object, it will comically drop it to the ground and break whatever it was holding, be it an egg or even pots and rocks it attacks the hunter with. Points for having character over my preferred aesthetics. 6/10.

And yes, I'm aware of that one incident in which one got its hands on a crystal from FF:XIV. The sheer absurdity of seeing this joke of a Wyvern get that big and one-shot HR hunters was certainly an experience.

"SOLAR FLARE!"

Another far less funny solo Bird Wyvern is the Tzizi-Ya-Ku. It has the same build, except it has a darker color scheme, and it's head looks like a perpetually angry Dilophosaurus. But then there's its trump card, a pair of fish-like fins that open up and literally flashblind any creature unlucky enough to be in its way. This works on hunters and even large monsters, which makes them accidentally helpful on several occasions. It's a fun design overall, and a pretty amusing gameplay feature when it's not trying to flashbang you. 8/10.

"Karera o hikisaite kudasai, min'na!"

Monster Hunter: Rise would see a return to the pack-hunting Bird Wyverns in the form of the Great Izuchi. Already, we have ourselves a banger, with a raptor covered in feather-like fur and with a head not unlike the cunning weasel it's based off of. Yes, this monster is based on a Japanese weasel of myth known as the Kamaitachi. The catch is that this Yokai weasel was said to wield scythes on its feet to cut travelers with. It was a means of explaining the cutting pain of cold winds in the mountains, but here, it's better explained by the blade-like end of the Izuchi's tail. And it can swing that blade around to the point where you almost forget that it's meant to be a beginner's monster. But being a beginner monster doesn't take away from how neat it is. 8/10.

"Gwaaaaaahhhhh....!"

The Sunbreak expansion of Rise would give us a new Bird Wyvern...with no leader. Which is a shame, because the Boggi have so much charm put into them! If you couldn't tell by the big ears and manic expressions, they're basically goblins if they were also raptors. But alas, they're relegated to common small enemies, with no Great Boggi in sight. But why not?! I can't get enough of the little guys' dopey expressions, imagine what a bigger one would look like! Either way, show these obscure buggers some love, why don't you? 7.5/10.

Now that we've seen the Theropods, we can now move on to the second type of Bird Wyvern, the ones that actually try to look and act like birds, that is.

The True Bird Wyverns:

"You think I'm funny? Thanks!"

Admittedly, the first "True Bird Wyvern" only looks like a bird thanks to its head. Other than that, The Yian-Kut-Ku looks like a typical Wyvern. Though by typical, we mean "kinda goofy". That head looks like a mix between a parrot and a pelican, complete with big frill "ears". Actually, it kinda looks like the sort of thing that would pop up in a bestiary of medieval beasts. And that's what makes it so charming, on top of having a vibrant color scheme. I also like how its head is shaped like that specifically because it can swallow Konchus even when they're rolled up. 7/10.

"You think I'm funny? HOW DO YOU THINK I'M FUNNY?!"

On the other hand, the Yian-Kut-Ku has a larger, and far less approachable cousin. The Yian Garuga feels like what would happen if its smaller kin got sick and tired of being the butt of everyone's jokes, and became as edgy and vicious as possible. You'd think that'd make it several steps up for me, but it sort of loses the scrappy charm of the Yian-Kut-Ku in the process. Still, you got to admire this thing's tenacity. It's so ill-tempered and bloodthirsty, it'll attack monsters many times its size and still be able to walk out of the fight if it can't win. Plus, it's got a metallic-sounding roar that can stun said large monsters too. So yeah, a bit on the edgy side, but at least this guy wears that on its sleeve. 7.5/10.

"Gobble, gobble, mofo"

Gypceros is...well, he's not winning any popularity contests soon. For one thing, the more you learn about its design, the worse it gets. It's skin is made of a material similar to rubber, it's tail can extend like a worm somehow, and it loves nothing more than to blind prey with the odd hammer-like head crest on its unfathomably stupid face. Oh, and in previous generations, it could rob you of items. And to top off this living pile of spite and unease, its favorite trick is to pretend to be dead near the end of its fight, only to spring to life and hit hard.

So yeah, not a big fan of this oversized plucked turkey. As far as I'm concerned, they belong in a Nerscylla's wardrobe. 3/10.

"Could someone help me out here? I got lost."

Hypnocatrice is an odd case. It's actually an immigrant from the MMO Monster Hunter: Frontier. But it somehow got to be in Freedom Unite...and that's it. It's a shame too, because out of all the Bird Wyverns, this one might actually be the most bird-like. With a head like a stork and some pretty feather patterns, Hypno here certainly catches the eye. But other than that, there's nothing terribly special about it, other than its pacifistic attitude and the ability to lob drowsiness-inducing spit. It has its fans, and I don't blame them. After all, absence makes any being seem more appealing. 5.5/10.

"NOOT NOOT!"

Now here's one of the more OUT THERE Bird Wyverns! Qurupeco is just the right blend of intriguing and ridiculous I look for in early-game monsters. It has some of the prettiest plumage out of this monster type, with pretty greens, blues, and red adorning its body. It also looks like a cross between a duck, a pterosaur, and as you might have noticed from that large red throat sac, a frigate bird. But that sac isn't just for attracting mates. The Qurupeco's ace in the hole is the ability to mimic other bigger monsters' sounds, and amplify them with that sac and the odd trumpet-like thing at the top of its beak. And rather infamously, its bag of tricks includes the call of the dreaded Deviljho (which, nine times out of ten, screws over both it AND the hunter it sicced the monstrous pickle on). But without its backup ability, it still has some other cool moves, like the combustible mucus it can spit at foes, or cover its flint-like wing-claws with so that they create a small explosion when slammed together.

My God, what is this thing doing stuck in the third generation?! It's flowing with vibrancy and creativity! Bring it back, Capcom! I don't care if it summons a monster leagues above my ability. I can take it (I most definitely cannot)! 8.5/10.

"Wenk, wenk."

Yeah, Gargwa are labeled as True Bird Wyverns, but they're not large monsters. If anything, they exist to serve the same purpose as everything in the Herbivore type of monster. That being tasty canon fodder for everything around them. That's not to say they aren't appealing, being comically round emu-geese. I like them, they look like something from a fantastical fountain park. 6/10.

"They kicked me out of Ga'Hoole, said my magic act was...too intense. What do they know?!"

So it seems that anytime we get a new True Bird Wyvern, the designers at Capcom pull out all the stops to make it as unique as possible. Thus, we now have our first owl-based monster. And about time, too. Owls have massive potential as monster designs. The Malfestio here just has so much presence. You can't tell from the image, but the insides of its wings are so such beautiful shades of blue...with a dark secret. You see, this jester-like owl has the unique ability to inflict the Confusion status ailment with the scales on its wings that dissipate into a golden mist with enough force...which it then can blow straight at you. Getting hit by this causes the controls to invert for a while. That's really neat, and makes for a unique fight! Plus, it's a man-sized owl. That's just cool. 8/10.

"Oogly boogly!!!"

At first, one might be put off by a name that sounds like "pukey pukey", especially when you learn that this thing vomits globs of poison (and fires it out of the tip of its tail). But the Pukei Pukei more than makes up for it by being a very pretty, if somewhat bizarre, bird. Okay, "bird" is stretching it a bit, but this is the same type that invited the Gypceros in. At least this one has feathers. The fact that it combines those features with those seen in geckos only adds to the neat factor. While its tendency to attack smaller monsters while running from bigger ones paints it in a sort of bully image, a certain crossover event quest from World shows that they're not all that bad. 7.5/10.

"Wings of - thwack!-regret!"

Rise is one of my favorite inductions in this franchise mostly because a lot of the newcomers wear their mythological inspirations on their sleeves. In this case, the Aknosom is based on the Karakasa, a living parasol with a face and one leg to hop on. This beast's intro cutscene does just that (though why is unclear), and it adds a boatload of charm. Aside from that one stance, the wings are designed to look just like an umbrella, and if you look closely, the center of its vibrant head-frill looks an awful lot like an eye. This is on top of just being so unique as a monster based on a Japanese crane. The only reason I don't rank it higher is because I'm a little put off by how it has a distinct lack of body feathers, giving it an unsettlingly naked look (or, based on its fire powers, that of a burnt chicken). Still, it's a winner in my book! 8/10.

And there go the Bird Wyverns! Next up, the stars of the franchise known as the Flying Wyverns!

If Capcom wants to make a compelling narrative for Monster Hunter, which they have shown they do, they really have to lean into portraying the guild as an antagonist.

The guild works closely with rich nobility, they have a set of rules for hunting that specifically hurt poor villages, and they frequently make catastrophic judgement calls when assessing threats that end up actively hurting the ecosystem. The guild has, so far, been correct once when taking out a potential problem monster with the magalas. In tri they thought that lagiacrus was MAYBE causing the earthquakes and then asked us to just kill it, no questions asked. In world they thought nergigante was MAYBE a threat to the new world and then asked us to just kill it, no questions asked. In rise they thought MAYBE that magnamalo was causing the rampage then asked us to just kill it, NO QUESTIONS ASKED.

That's not just some mistake that's the unnecessary death of an animal! Think about that in real life and how horrible that would sound!

"Oh we thought this pack of lions was killing livestock so we sent some people to kill them all. Turns out, we were wrong and it was this other completely different animal. We are conservationists!"

Not to mention legends of the guild is an entire ass movie about how the guild fundamentally failed this small poor village on a systemic level that Aidan, a CHILD btw, was throwing himself into life or death situations just so his community wouldn't be wiped off the map. When Julius calls Aidan out on the fact that he's supposedly poaching and not hunting, that wasn't a fun opportunity to give an exposition about the world. It was pointing out the guild's hypocrisy! Aidan's reactive anger at Julius calling him a poacher was the correct response! They shouldn't HAVE to make a three day journey to dundorma every time a velociprey takes a chicken. That kind of thing should be handled by the guild. The guild doesn't allocate resources to helping these villages while giving an incentive to not help them to individual Hunters. Then when these villages finally decide they aren't going to wait around for help or go through the multiple day travel to register a quest with what little money they have and actually SOLVE their problem. ITS ILLEGAL TO DO SO!!!

And you know what's super cool about poaching? How the punishment is the guild sending assassins to take you out. For the multitude of Monster hunter fans who seem to think that's a reasonable response to that, lemme just tell ya it isn't. That sounds an awful lot like fascism! ESPECIALLY because we now know what qualifies as poaching! It can be as small as taking out a few small monsters who have been proven to be a threat to your village without a license. Aidan literally could have been assassinated for helping his village. A CHILD!

Quit trying and failing to get me invested in the villainous schemes of some fuckin dragon that's just acting on instincts, Capcom. You already HAVE a perfect antagonist right there!

[electricea]

also i am knee deep back into my monster hunter stories grind, still extremely on just doing quests - but i would die for my velociprey and the dozen aptonoths i've collected, lmao. (i only ever seem to get aptno eggs, rip)

[widestwaistlines]

"Mmmf...hmm? Whaddya mean overdoin' it...?" She mumbled, snapping out of her trance for a precious few moments before turning her attention back to...what was becoming dinner quite rapidly.

You had raised a pretty valid concern: "Are you sure you're not overdoing it a little?" Hours had passed since she'd sat down to your 'meal', only for it to keep going, and going, and going...

Though you suppose it was partially on you for not taking the boasts of 'one of the Guild's finest' seriously. When she'd bragged about it though, you'd just shrugged it off. Sure she was built like some of the brawniest Hunters around, but a lot of them could be boastful.

Unfortunately she'd backed it up.

In spades.

The second you'd challenged her to back it up, even outright fielding a quest to the Guild as a test, she'd gone off to handle it with a ferocity that made you think you'd unleashed a Fatalis on a horde of Velociprey. And when she'd returned dragging a train of monsters lashed together head to tail, you'd realized just what sort of mistake you had made.

Then came the cooking. You'd seen Tetsucabra greatswords before, and had the passing thought of them looking like they were oversized cooking knives, but you'd never seen someone lop through a Rathian's neck in one slice with one. Or use a set of dual blades to skin an Odogaron, and especially not kitbashing a spit-roaster out of gunlances for an Uragaan.

And then she'd sat down to eat with you, and you'd realized another of your blunders. Enormous drumsticks hoisted up and torn into as if they were well-done steaks fresh off of a camping bbq, monster ribs stripped clean in a few bites. Even bones were cracked and the marrow sampled here and there.

It was around the time she finished her first dish in its entirety, the Yian Kut-ku ("Not much meat on it y'know"), that you realized the last of your mistakes: there was no stopping her. She was like a Nergigante on a binge in human form, with all of the consequences that held. The Kut-ku hadn't left much of a mark, but by the time she was belching post-Odogaron, the chiseled abs she'd had were replaced with a boulder of a gut.

The longer you watched, the more you started to think you were just imagining things. There couldn't be someone that could think up mixing the powder from a Rathalos' inferno sac with a Lagiacrus' torrent sac to make her own literal firewater. It wasn't possible that she was now tossing cutlets of Rathian meat, dripping an all-too-familiar purple toxin, into her mouth and gulping them without trouble or frantically scrambling for a dose of herbal medicine.

And through it all she talked about each monster like it was just a toy she'd played with, or a bout of exercise she'd do any day of the week. As she stripped the meat from a skewer of Rathalos meat, she laughed about how it almost tossed her into one of the stalactites of the arena and turned her into the meal. When she gulped down the stew she'd made from the Uragaan, she gushed about the sound it'd made when she'd slammed her shield into its face.

Compared to the other Hunters you'd met, this was something different. There wasn't a sense of documenting the wildlife, of studying it. Not when she was starting to balloon like a Zamtrios from the amount she was consuming, and certainly not the way she talked about her hunts.

You felt like your earlier thought of 'Nergigante in human form' had more truth to it than you'd meant it to, and you quietly hoped that the Guild was keeping a close eye on her.

Lest she eat a few species into extinction.

Hi there!

So, I got obsessed with monster hunter (stories) again and found this doodle I’ve done : Mily singing a lullaby Ratha (before he gets his wings) and his unborn little sister Rathy (a razewing rathian with pink feathery wings). This is around the time before they leave Rutoh to go to Kuan, after the young Rathalos is old enough to travel and defend himself.

As you can see here, Mily has several scars (depending on the world she’s in, the scars she got in that world can appear on her shapeshifting skin. These are marks of her past adventures in each universe she goes into. Orion posses this same ability) : one on her nose after a wild velociprey scratched her the moment she arrived and one on her shoulder she got from the rage-rayed Anjanath she fought in Hakolo island.

I’ll post of Orion in the world of Monster hunter as well!

Hope you like it 😊.

Note : Mily, Orion and Rathy are my characters. The concept of Razewinf Rathian belongs to me. Ratha, the monsters and the world of Monster hunter/Monster hunter stories belongs to Capcom.

FR/FR

Salut !

Alors, mon obsession pour monster hunter (stories) a refait surface et j’ai retrouvé ce petit dessin : Mily chantant une berceuse à Ratha (avant qu’il n’ait ses ailes) et à sa petite sœur Rathy (une « Rathian destructrice » la traduction française est vraiment affreuse 😂😂 aux ailes plumées roses). C’est un peu avant qu’ils ne quittent Rutoh pour se rendre à Kuan, une fois que le jeune Rathalos fut assez grand pour voyager et se défendre.

Comme vous pouvez le voir Mily à plusieurs cicatrices (dépendant du monde dans lequel elle ce trouve, ces dernières qu’elle a eut dans ce monde en particulier peut apparaîtrent sur sa peau de métamorphe. Ce sont des marques de ses anciennes aventures dans chaque s univers où elle c’est rendue. Orion a aussi cette capacité.) : une sur son née à cause d’un Velociprey sauvage qui l’a griffé quand elle est arrivée et deux sur son épaule après son combat contre l’Anjanath affecté par les rayons rouges sur l’île d’Hakolo.

Je publierai Orion dans dans monde de Monster hunter aussi!

En espérant que ça vous plaise 😊.

Note : Mily, Orion et Rathy sont mes personnages. Le concept de la Rathian destructrice est mien aussi. Ratha, les monstres et l’univers de Monster Hunter/Monster hunter stories appartiennent à Capcom.

[catsayswaf]

I finally beat pink rathian too yesterday!!!

After idk how many attempts, I finally learned the patterns (I didn't know how to dodge her diagonal tail flip), finally upgraded my armor before fighting (it's a mix of jaggi s, velociprey s and whatever I could add) and I beat her !

Now I'm gonna focus on doing key quests and then cleaning up any quests I haven't done in 7*

Exoprimal X Monster Hunter notes:

In a blink and you'll miss it flash, the raptor storm is swapped out for a Velociprey storm, and more notably, said Velociprey are a higher fidelity version of the Sunbreak Velociprey - chiefly they're not optimized and decimated to run on Switch hardware. This is further evidence that Velociprey (and by possible extension the other prey and dromes) are returning monsters for MH6.

Funny monkey costume.

Rathalos was there.
