Monster Hunter Lore | Kirin

We need an official National Geographic take-on Monster Hunter in the future. But for now MH Lore will keep me fascinated

[@Madman6884]

I recommend looking up the channel Oceaniz. I hope I'm spelling that right. Guy does great work and they're my favorite videos of this style about the creatures of Monster Hunter .

[@stephenjohn2131]

@@Madman6884 I found that channel thanks to you, i could always watch more than one monster hunter lore/documentary content creator. Time to sink some teeth in! 👍

[@condoslime776]

I also recommend searching up Glyde Borealis who makes national graphic style documentary videos about Monsters in World.

[@DeltaOdyssey]

I would also recommend unnatural history channel, they make all kinds of videos on the ecology and biology of monster hunter, and also delve into similar topics of other franchises.

[@dannyyoroi1955]

And the end of every episode should have a ???hunter casually approach the deadly monster

I’ve dedicated so much time to the monster hunter games over the years of my life and it is more than just a game you slap monsters with meat hammers, it’s a games of patience planing and teamwork mhw and mhwib are next level and I’m very glad you guys share how this game and the other ones are just amazing and full of lore

[@SalokinRechra]

Listen, I see what you're saying...but I can literally turn on world RIGHT NOW, LITERALLY pick up a giant drumstick, and thwack this glorious thunder unicorn across the face with it.

[@HunDev_PL]

Kirin just got added into my "Do Not Hunt List", right next to Mizu and Yian Kut-Ku. Damn, I didn't knew how innocent this thing is

[@lasselen9448]

Yay, another lore video! It's interesting to note that (as far as I know) Kirin is the only monster that is a direct reference, with an unchanged name ("Kirin" is the Japanese version of "Qilin"), to a mythological creature. It's also baffling that our favourite pony isn't in MHRise despite the Asian setting and focus on riding.

[@lunarkomet]

Sunbreak maybe

[@legomaster2538]

Kirin is one of the monsters I hope to see on Sunbreak. Along with Lagiacrus, Nergigante, Lunastra, Great Jagras and a few more.

[@thelordadjudicator4932]

RIP to this INSANE series. Hope it comes back.

[@athosandrade8519]

Kirin is so cool all of his traits say "royalty"! Can you guys do one of Valstrax? Its my favorite monster of the franchise because its a Rocket Powered Dragon and his roar is badass Salve from Brazil

Hope we can meet Kirin in Sunbreak. His aesthetic and namesake fits Kamura.

Sadly, we didn't.

[@MimaCh]

Kirin was my first crush in MH franchise. Not only it was the less intimidating Elder Dragon, it's also give us the "iconic" female hunter armor set. Truly The gifts that kept on giving

[@goranarbunic7258]

I'm glad this series came back! Great video as always! I think that Gore and Shagaru Magala would be great for a lore video

[@stephenjohn2131]

Unpopular opinion but i always loved and admired Kirin in every game,it's a crime that it didn't appear in Rise now that Chammy also returned. It fitted the Japanese theme perfectly. Hope it returns in SunBreak alongside the beautiful Oroshi Kirin. Fits the European medieval theme as well because it's a unicorn?

[@RBsRealm]

Have to disagree. I do not miss that menacing lighting pony in rise... God he's annoying to fight.

[@stephenjohn2131]

@@RBsRealm I know you're not the only one most of the community hates it, although nowhere near as Gypsorus and Plessy are hated. Which is why my opinion is unpopular haha. But personally i think it has alot to it's character, basically a glass cannon elder dragon that focuses primarily on thunder for the offense. Also is the weakest of all elder dragons known. I would love to see it again just as i want to see Gypsorus and Plessy.

[@stephenjohn2131]

@@fabinagl7601 Haha yes prior to that Plessy was very *very* unenjoyable, not unless you knew how to , had a weapon that can block or pick a weapon that has less combo animation commitment. Plessy is quite agile on land for a monster that evolved filling a niche, spending most of his time underwater. I hated him the most and ran out of time many times fighting green dual plessioths, and for some gog damn reasons i farmed him alot, like ALOT! Until at last i could predict every move before he does it and it's still imprinted in my dna lol. Yes i was a pure GS main.

[@alexbamier2194]

[@joshualighttime604]

[@hariman7727]

Kirin is a personal favorite monster of mine, because it's a caster with melee capabilities in a game that's almost all about up close and personal fighting monsters. It's also the first monster in MHW to make me triple cart and fail a quest, so it has my respect too.

[@garangolm5924]

I really hope Kirin makes it to Sunbreak 😁

Rajang is still the most "Honey Badger" like monster in MH... He doesn't care if you could summon lightning out of thin air, or blow winds capable of ripping through thick steels... He will hunt you and make you squirm hahah

Kirin being unique not interacting with other monsters...Rajang eating Kirin's horn like "haha, carrot going cronch"

[@JanusHoW]

I just beat this guy for the first time in Worldborne. Having come from Rise, I was rather excited to see that elder dragons still scared off all of the smaller monsters. It was even better that an unnatural thunderstorm was brewing in the area, which didn't happen in the old gen games. They just improved the fight in subtle ways - making the horn much sturdier, making him limp when weak...

People can say what they will about the male kirin armor for the low and high rank settings in the older games. But that G rank one from 4U and beyond as well as the high rank beta set were the bee's knees and my go to for Monster hunting fashion.

60+hrs into the game. the first time i fought kirin was the first time i fainted and learned the hard way that elders cant be trapped. never had any monsters gave me a hard time before kirin. hammer main btw.

[@thetalltitan2235]

I wonder if Capcom ran out of ideas for a monster like this. Cause if you ask me, Kirin looks more a My Little Pony antagonist than an Elder Dragon (and yes, I was once a Brony during the mid to late 2010s). Yes, qilins apparently have a “dragon head” for a body part, but even then Kirin is nothing more than a lightning elemental unicorn…
