Fatalis' regeneration lore be like:

"This Fatalis Greatsword be givin' me bad vibes, yo...
It seems... alive..."
Fatalis lore is funky. A sword that heals when mined, Rumors of armor that drives its wearer mad as they slowly become one with the beast slain, and the fear that the legend can be revived from a single scale... Is any of this true? idk, I just made this as a joke. It is up to the interpretation from the reader... for we will never know the true nature of the Black Dragon...

[@Octopugilist]

In the Iron Kingdoms lore, dragons are straight up eldritch abominations that only another dragon can truly kill. They look like traditional dragons, but the fire they breathe is radioactive hellfire from the guts of Chernobyl, and they passively blight the world around them, poisoning the land and causing organisms to mutate into dragon-y freaks that serve it's will.

Everyone is talking about how smooth and eerie the Fatalis transformation is (and rightfully so. It's beautiful and disturbing at the same time), but you did an excellent job conveying how the hunters help. Even if the one without a helmet had her face covered, you would still be able to capture how they felt. At first, they were confident, focused, ready to pounce at whatever they thought was happening with the sword, but as soon as it started growing, you knew that is one of the things they didn't expect and they, for lack of a better term, dropped their guard in surprise. As it kept growing, the fear in one's expression and movements while the others were frozen, either out of fear or awe, but none could tear their eyes away. It was evidently dangerous, unnatural, and wrong, but they couldn't stop watching it and couldn't bring themselves to move against it, even in it's vulnerable stages of growth. At the very final frame we see them, even after the threat has fully revealed itself, they're still staring at it, unmoving. You did a fantastic job with all of this. I've always admired your use of body movements in these animations.

Thing is, every other creature in the series does in fact fit in the ecosystem no matter how bonkers their abilities seem. Safi'jiiva terraforms its landscape via bioenergy manipulation, while its rival Alatreon resets the environment and bioenergy through environmental destruction. Amatsu and the Serpents' storms, just like real life storms, are actually good for redistributing nutrients and water across long distances. Nakarkos, despite its gruesome tendencies, is prey to Ceadeus. Yes, even the Qurios have a place in the ecosystem as parasitic species like Cordyceps serve as biological equalizers. And yet Fatalis defies every law established by this world's natural order. Every adaptation this... THING has only makes it more clear that it's completely wrong on an ecological standpoint. In fact, the Handler poses the most horrifying question of all: Why would a creature need so much power that it could destroy an entire country in an evening?

For all the seemingly alien shapes the monsters in the series can take, they are still adaptations to their environment and evolution. Fatalis looks very basic compared to the many dragons we have faced but that is because Fatalis has not evolved, it has not adapted, it has not tried to find a niche. Fatalis can only be found in places like Castle Schrade because it has no place in this world or any other, it has no natural habitat for it is not a part of nature and does not belong.

[@ReikuYin]

Never has un-zeroing scaled bone been so HAUNTING. But joking aside this made me remember something. Back in Mon Hunt Gen Ultimate, as we all know, in the village of Pokke there's the massive Black Sword. You mine it after every outing and it gives you parts that let you make the Black set. A very good Blademaster set particularly you play Great sword, fitting giving you mine from it. And like almost high armor in that game, lacking any down sides. Even after breaking into G.rank you don't need anything else from the sword, just the same stuff always givin to get it upgraded. Then later the big black dragon himself shows up and when looking at his armor bits it just kinda looks like what you had.. just 'BIGGER'. As if the old armor just grew 'OVER' you. One of the blurbs for one of the arms even simply says, "Your arms look like Fatalis's arms". And the skills it gives are the coveted Sharpness and handcraft. You're never meant to take off this armor. Fatalis in all his forms is the final enemy, the last task. Rathalos armor might be the one everyone knows. But Fatalis armor is the one everyone FEARS. Which seems to be the case with black dragon gear, giving Alteron has very similar blurbs about casting aside humanity and embracing dragons. Also, the fact it grew from a G.Sword and we don't SEE a fourth hunter puts so much implication to this. After all, why would a G.sword just be out in the middle of nowhere (HEH) when hunters are known to be in 4s?

[@whygosh3217]

Horrifying, disturbing and it doesn’t help the fact it’s even said that fatalis can also regenerate from one single scale… Amazing animation!👍

[@trexrising4097]

I love the Fatalis lineage. They completely go against every other monster in the series just by the sheer fact that their lore and ecology feels more like an eldritch being straight out of Dark Souls as opposed to a natural part of the established Monster Hunter ecosystem. Although, contrary to how this animation portrays it, I would imagine Fatalis' regeneration takes time. At least a few years or even decades, I would imagine. Though, that does raise the question: If Fatalis can regenerate from a single scale, why doesn't it regenerate itself from any of our weapons or armor we make from it? Is there something with the process of making weapons in the Monster Hunter universe that renders it unable to regenerate from the parts of it that were made into our gear? How come wearing the Black Fatalis armor drives it's wearer mad, but the Armor of a White Fatalis gradually turns it's wearer into a new White Fatalis? Is the White Fatalis we fight in Monster 4U/GU actually the playable Hunter from Monster Hunter 2/FU? On top of that, what even is the relationship between a White and Black Fatalis? Is it a seperate species/subspecies, a mutation, or is it something as simple as a stage in a Fatalis' life cycle? What's the deal with Crimson Fatalis? And how exactly does Dire Miralis fit into all of this? The lore describes it as Fatalis' "incarnation", but what does that mean exactly? The more we learn about Fatalis and it's family, the more questions it raises.

[@xavyishvalda3608]

Well, of course the regeneration from a single scale or a piece of armor thing doesn't happen in game because you wouldn't exactly want to wake up the next day and find your save file has been deleted because you forgot to take off your fatalis armor, therefore your hunter is dead. But in lore, it's safe to assume any piece of armor or weapon crafted from fatalis parts are to be ridden immediately to avoid it from regenerating.

[@aldiascholarofthefirstsin1051]

@@xavyishvalda3608 Or keep each piece of the armor inside a cold storage every day and only wear it when you REALLY need to, because the lore states it takes some time for the armor to make you go mad, run into the forest and then implode into fleshy bits as a the Fatalis grows around you.

[@Seatsniffer3849]

@@xavyishvalda3608 HEADCANNON The reason Fatalis doesn’t regenerate from our equipment quicker is because we constantly wear it down with our hunting and we keep hunting without rest because of our deteriorating mind until we finally collapse from exhaustion as the foul flesh of a fallen shadow finally takes hold and grows over you.

Holy spit. This is incredible. Just imagine a Monster Hunter scenario/movie with this concept. Like a cursed sword that were found by either poachers or an unruly young hunter, and as monsters are slain by that sword, it’s fury grows until eventually it reverts back into its true form. This could either work as a prologue or a final battle.

Maybe in a series or something, a hunter has to use the equipment To save their friends, slowly turning into fatalis every time they put on the armour, until eventually in a series finally or something, they turn into fatalis and now the rest of their friends have to kill fatalis, unknowing if they can save their friend or not

[@THENemesisXX99]

Its funny. What makes this pretty disturbing is how...not sure how to describe this...I guess simple it is? Usually with regen like this you would see bone, muscle, tendons and skin forming with regeneration but here. He just reconstitutes himself like he was made out of clay or is reversing the damage. The way its done makes it really creepy.

[@peterwhite6415]

Worse part is that the same applies to the Armor... i forget wich piece of the lore adress it but Hunters who wore Fatalis armor would one day up and disapear, wich makes me think the Armor at somepoint influences them or takes control and wanders off to a safe place where he can grow.

Pfft, people over here arguing whether or not the item descriptions that say Fatalis can regenerate from a single scale need a vibe check. We've literally already got a monster shown in-game with immense regeneration powers, and reproduced by snapping off its spikes and letting them grow. I'm pretty sure that Fatalis, The Black Dragon, is allowed to be stronger than Nergigante. So if Nerg can reproduce from a single spike, Fatalis can regen from a single scale.

Diablos burrows in sand, so their claws are rounded for digging instead of long for example. Fatalis distinctly doesn’t make ecological sense, only really fitting in the ruins he’s found. He doesn’t interact with the environment or act like a wild animal, but unnaturally stays put.
