The story of Hence is so good! It's thematically rich even in a short overview, and I can imagine dozens of ill-fated quests to find the remains of the King in Bronze. The ruins must house all kinds of dragons and other hostile wildlife. Speaking of bronze, I love how the kinsbane starts out orange and turns green as though it's forming a patina.

16:59 the image of the hulkbreaker just destroying the kinsbane jaw in a punch is cool in of itself but it gets better with the context that the hullbreakers are the ones slowing down the spread of the dragon that is evolved to kill other dragons.

The Kinsbane being able to react to food unconsciously reminds me of the scene in the movie "The Host." There's a scene where the monster is fast asleep, so one of its captives tries to escape, only for its tail to catch them again without waking up.

The Great Kinsbane's biological niche is incredibly well thought-out, quite possibly the best example of a fictional apex predator I know of. I also really like how its got a bit of a Monsterverse kaiju-vibe to it; a beast of terrible might that can nonetheless live in harmony with humans... as long as humans take care to keep that harmony intact. A sort of unspoken truce between civilization and natural forces

i wounder given the kinsbane, general indifference to the humans it unintentionally protecting them from dragons that would view them as food or computation. that upon passing form age or battle some brave humans may morn the passing of the kings of the mountain i could see the humans taking the skull or teeth of the kinsbane as a object of reverence hoping it would not be to long before another great king take its 'throne'. perhaps some protect younglings or orphaned egg's provideing them shelter and food till they grow large enough to defend themselves it would be in the best intrest of the humans of these dragon filled lands to see as many of their mountain kings, live long enough to sit their thrones. lest their settelments be over run by the smaller wurms

So satisfying when rule of cool slots into a feasibly biological explanation -- I can picture those tusks being very useful in meal processing, prying apart armor like a crowbar. It all adds up since the dragon's meals are rare, it needs to eat every bit of the kill like a crocodile. Plus, it's flightless after so there's not a downside to eating too much. Overall it seems like Kinsbane would have a modified metabolism, mostly running on low power mode, and spiking for brief jolts during the rare dragon-hunt. Bravo justifying the biological necessity for epic monster tusks - this one is a triumph.

I'd like to say this is another fantastic species, and you have a good point about not going too far in overdoing creature design. In terms of the Great Kinsbane being either edgy or immaculate, I'd have to say it's the latter. It has those fantastic defenses for the best of reasons! Fantastic job again man!!

Difference is, the Great Kinsbane is still capable of releasing fiery breath with a pretty decent quantity of it, as in still having elemental ailment in Monster Hunter perspective. It's just that many dragons in Dragonslayer Codex are resistant to fire based attacks to a certain degree, so the quickest way to take them down is by using pure brute strength and verocity to match.

The mountain range of the caldera is home to many species of dragons, the dragons here are common, but there is one species that dwarfs them all. He is a "Great Kinsbane" 1:04 2:57 1300 meters from wingtip to wingtip with a body bigger than any theropod dinosaur, he is the undisputed King of the Skies. This giant is over 40 years old. Most of his life has been spent wandering the continents in search of food. But every year there is a dramatic interruption in his nomadic lifestyle, It will soon be time to find a mate.

Also, how would a fight go between a gunning hullbreaker and a starving kinsbane of similar size go?

Hybrids would be interesting. Look up modern day crocodile hybridization. It basically broke our current understanding of biology when it comes to species cross breeding. Animals with miss matched chromosomes making sexually viable young is wild. Example, a 36 and a 32 pair chromosome mix and the baby has 34. And somehow its genetically viable. Even though its parents are separated by so much time its ludicrous.

Great stuff. Though i would personally design this thing to grow bigger spines on more places of it's body and in weirder shapes. Similar to Human bones shattering under great stress to prevent further tissue damage. It would help this dragon on it's mountain-side wrestling endevors.

All your videos give me monster hunter vibes, but this is probably the best example of that. The way that dragon preys on other species of dragons also reminds me a bit of the vampires from blindsight. Idk if either of those were an inspiration but I sure love that this is the atmosphere we're going with

Woohoo I was looking forward to it. I like the idea of it's hunting. Because we talked about suplexing dragons I'm still thinking of wrestling now. So from the top rope RKOing a dragon. Loved this idea of people honoring the dragon that fights other dragons. Monster hunter has a couple similar monsters like this. Espaines comes to mind the sleeping rose one. Love it another great video.

Was about to say the same the thing and honestly i feel like it could be some pretty good world building a Kingsbane pushed out its habitat by a stronger adult ends up in Arctic and tries to hunt a Hullbreaker and it results in this clash that gets turned into a religious story for the hinterman and goes down in his. The Grey King of the Mountains and The Silver God of the Glaciers would be fire asf
