Monster Hunter Rise | 5 FACTS About Somnacanth - MH Lore And Ecology

[@Jyharri]

The fact that Somna's song changes due to the locale it is in is haunting enough, the further fact that it mimics the region's theme is bonechilling, but awesome!

[@ChronoPinoyX]

Frost Islands one is probably the most fascinating one as it tends to mimic the vocals of the Frost Islands theme! Makes me think the vocals on the Frost Islands theme may have been done by a Somnacanth all along!

[@Jyharri]

@@ChronoPinoyX It really does! It's also making me wonder how it'll sound if Somnacanth can be found in the Sunbreak new locale(s?)

[@sandmountainsam9287]

The fact that somnacanth sings to lure creatures in means it’s intelligent, another sign of intelligence is that it sings battle tunes which it probably heard and now associates it with hunters

[@MeekCrayon]

Me: "I know everything about these monsters, give me something new." Me after watching this video: "I know nothing 😳. And now I'm going to watch the others." Well done sir

[@ChronoPinoyX]

Thanks! Hope you've learned something about these creatures that you found interesting!

[@chito2701]

I just love the mermaid inspired aesthetics of somnacanth

[@ChronoPinoyX]

Capcom did a great job on it since it's still a monster, but you could really see where the Mermaid inspiration hits!

I'm loving this series. Also Almudron is getting closer and closer.

[@ChronoPinoyX]

Thanks for the support! We're getting close to going through all the monsters!

[@yurei4414]

@@ChronoPinoyX judging by the order you're making I presume Goss Harag is the next right? Also speaking of Almudron, I have a little lore theory to share with you. Almudron doesn't usually live in Shrine Ruins but nornally it's found on higer places and moved due to the rampage. But what if that "higer in the Mountains" is Misty Peaks? It's a bit of a strech but if you look at Generations's loading screen, in the section that shows misty peaks there's a bamboo forest under the zone with cherry blossoms. Based upon that, what if Shire Ruins and Misty Peaks are the same Mountain Range, but on diffent hieght?

Definitely something I've been looking forward to doing myself! Thanks for the support!

'Breaks fourth wall' how do you know those songs weren't made by the villagers after listening to the Mermaiden Wyvern?

[@yurei4414]

Somnacanth is my favourite Rise monster even though I haven't fought it already because of how straight up uncanny it is. I love the spooky looks of Rise monsters and Somna is the one that does it the best IMO.

[@ChronoPinoyX]

They really did a great job on that aspect, especially considering the fact that it's part of a locale that's considered a large graveyard. It's truly one of the more terrifying creatures out there!

[@garex1939]

The singing is actually a detail Capcom told us about somnacanth

[@ChronoPinoyX]

They defo told us it sang since it was part of its mermaid/siren inspiration, though what it sang was the part that was mostly unknown to most people!

[@garex1939]

@@ChronoPinoyX I wonder if other monsters have secret details 🤔

[@commando5872]

I'm not a furry But somancanth is looking exquisitely respectable and noble. I'm still not a furry but it looks cool

[@user-ol9ck7ig2f]

Looks like a Sea Hag from Forgotten Realms universe

[@magnarex6892]

This monster is straight up terrifying!

[@ChronoPinoyX]

They really went for the spooky vibes on this Leviathan! Capcom did an amazing job on it!

3:09 Ok that's actually freaking me out That's f**ken scary 😳

[@OSMRDucksLIB]

Bro just heard the somma's song and I'm sleepy for real 😮

[@smolnchulo1330]

How do you get so close to somna without aggro-ing her?

[@ChronoPinoyX]

Certain monster behaviour in the game don't trigger aggro, the singing is one of them. Once the singing is done, it will go aggro!

[@purpleemerald5299]

3:39 It also sounds like it’s reciting the main ATLA theme. XD

[@doolenny9458]

All I need I rakna and almudron and my 3 favs are down cuz I love somno

[@ChronoPinoyX]

We'll be getting there soon! Going through the list based on the Hunter's notes to keep consistency but we'll definitely be covering both Rakna and Almudron!

[@doolenny9458]

@@ChronoPinoyX nice we are so close to the best bois/girls(cuz rakna) (tho somno is also one of my best bois/girls(cuz rakna))

[@shellknight1323]

I didn't like it's face but you made me appreciate it

[@ChronoPinoyX]

The in-game model for me has a certain appeal to it as it defo has the humanoid looks, but the concept art's face was horrifying for me originally!

[@riolugamer9020]

Could you do great wroggi next please

[@SerenEirian]

He was only doing monsters who debuted in Rise.

[@samfish2550]

I love this weird sea otter, betta fish, weirdly human faced monster but I really don't get the hyper focus on the human eating stuff, the songs don't sound human and it really just seems to be content eating the easier and more prevalent oysters it's seen cracking in fight..... I feel like this is overblown in lore just as a head cannon, like if it's opportunistic it probably would and has eaten one half blind horny idiot but I doubt it's common.
