[@Stratelier]

At launch, Bazel was the only non-elder-dragon in base MHW to have a personal music theme heard regardless of where it appears. Addenda: - Obviously, Iceborne launched with Tigrex, Nargacuga, Brachydios and Zinogre, all of which have a personal theme. - Deviljho has a personal music theme regardless of map, but it was added post-launch. - Legiana is closely associated with the Coral Highlands battle theme (the only map it appeared in prior to Iceborne), but that is the theme for the Coral Highlands _generally_ and is not unique to Legiana. (i.e. it's also heard when hunting Paolumu, Kirin, etc) - The same reasoning applies to Odogaron in the Rotten Vale. In fact it applies across the series, even to some "flagship" monsters like Lagiacrus in MH3U's Deserted Island. - Even series mascot Rathalos uses only the general battle theme for the map it appears on (though it is closely associated with the MH1 "Forest and Hills" and will sometimes use that theme during cinematics ... just not during gameplay)

[@The_Cotaku]

in the end,Bazelgeuse is a true friend. helps you deal with anything in his own asshole way.

[@AngryAragami]

What I really love about this theme is the timing. The beginning strings usually conincide with his roar, as a warning. The first bit is pure tension, as you the just-entered-high-rank hunter sprint for the exit. But if you stay and fight long enough, it reaches the heroic sounding bit to emphasize how brave / how far you've come. Beautiful.

[@arrowl53]

I was just casually collecting bones when I first saw bazel. He flew right past me and gave me a heart attack. I didn't get a good look though, so I kept my eyes open but I couldn't find it. Later during a barroth hunt it appeared again and sent me straight back to camp with a single hit. That's when I realized low rank paolumu armor wouldn't cut it

[@CapnShades]

which is a shame because it looks _fly as f*ck._

As someone who played arise before World, I definitely prefer World’s Bazel over Rise’s Bazel. In Rise they seem to only drop scales when they’re attacking anyway, so it’s easier to avoid. World Bazel however seems to have a dandruff problem and drops them constantly, making position important both relative to the monster and to the battlefield.

[@JGuy97]

Personally, I find his scales harder to avoid in Rise, but the fact that it’s more dangerous to the hunter when he invades hunts in World makes him more threatening there.

[@mhplayer]

Personnally i don't care about scale placement pretty much. This post was made by ranged weapon gang

[@nebulous9280]

Yeah. Rise's scales detonate on their own eventually, but in World they just... sit there. Waiting. And then you dodge into one you forgot was there right as Bazel slams his head into the ground. You learn to fear Bazel RIGHT away, and I love it.

[@ol_fortune9474]

Rise's scale patterns seem.. unnatural and predictable to me sometime, at least in World it's got some sort of unpredictability and made me had a second thought every time I'm trying to approach it's opening.

I just love this so much dude. The tradition of having a invader monster is so good, and this theme in specific, being the only normal wyvern monster with a battle theme before updates and Iceborne gives it a special vibe to me. Exploding flying egg intensifies!

[@Silvahhhhhhhhhh]

I really love 1:27, it just feels like such a back and forth between Bazelgeuse and the Hunter, with the panicked trumpets of the Hunter followed by the overwhelming blaring of the trombone for Bazel's shouts, all that accompanied by violins screeching like air sirens in the background representing Bazelgeuse's unending attacks. Fucking majestic.

[@jungleinsectspikewall4474]

[@hakageryu307]

As much as I love Rise, Bazel doesn't exude nearly the same energy there as he does here. Don't get me wrong, i went in blind and when I ran across him on the map in Rise, my jaw hit the floor and I immediately changed priorities to fighting him instead of Magnamalo. But nothing and I mean NOTHING matches him flying in out of nowhere and the music taking over. Then again, I think they knew this and now we have Valstrax erasing people and monsters from existence.

[@strongestonyxblackxpearl315]

The Bazelgeuse found in the New World seem to have evolved differently from their Old World cousins." "Despite Seregios and Bazelgeuse having a similar appearance and adaptations, these flying wyverns aren't closely related to each other. From this fact, we aren't sure how different Old World Bazelgeuse are from their New World cousins, at least so far." "As mentioned previously, Bazelgeuse can be found throughout the New World, but their true habitat is the Elder's Recess. The misfired scales of many individuals have been found in that particular locale, showing that place was their original home. Normally, they aren't common." "During the recent Elder Crossing, Zorah Magdaros traveled through many lands while going to its final resting place, affecting various ecosystems as it went on its journey and causing monsters to become more active during the Elder Crossing, including the rare Bazelgeuse." "While Zorah Magdaros was causing a commotion, many of the Bazelgeuse in the New World went looking for new territories during the disturbance, trying to dethrone the current apex monsters in other environments and acquire the new lands for more prey." "Bazelgeuse live deep in the mountainous parts of the Elder's Recess, considered to be the highest parts of the New World, where they can see just about everything on the continent and keep a close eye on other locales for potential territories filled with lots of prey." "To help it travel to new lands, Bazelgeuse evolved massive wings to help it fly. Unlike other flying wyverns, Bazelgeuse barely flaps its wing while its in the air, so it can sneak up on prey from above before ambushing its victims." "If Bazelgeuse wants to travel to new places, it can simply glide to them. It's thought that their wings aren't the best for flight and that they primarily use them for gliding long distances, which could explain why they're often found living in high altitudes." "Since Bazelgeuse come from the Elder's Recess, some individuals could end up trapping themselves in certain locales during their travels, forcing them to live in a select few places and usurping the current apexes since they can't return to their original home." "Much like how Brachydios has developed a symbiotic relationship with slime mold, Bazelgeuse has developed one with a symbiotic nitrate-producing bacteria found in the water that it drinks." Click on the link: ( twitter.com/BannedDino/status/1109275129568202752?s=20 ) "Its nickname, Explosive Scale Wyvern, comes from the strange scales found under its neck and tail. Inside of Bazelgeuse's neck and tail are explosive glands, or fuses, that produce bodily fluids that are secreted from Bazelgeuse's body." "These fluids cool when they come in contact with the outside air before stretching out and solidifying, becoming Bazelgeuse's explosive scales. While on Bazelgeuse they are stable, but, once off it, they're unstable." "If stimulated or left to oxidize, they'll explode, severely damaging anything caught within the blast. Bazelgeuse knows this, and will directly strike the scales or roar to make them explode." "One would think that these explosions would damage Bazelgeuse as well, but its thick shell and an extra layer of heat-resistant skin under its scales protect Bazelgeuse from such impact. Its wings and the inside of its mouth have heat-resistant skin as well." "When hunting or facing off against an enemy, Bazelgeuse's body is known to glow intensely as its explosive glands go on overdrive and constantly produce bodily fluids, causing its explosive scales to fall off its body more frequently." In this "heated state," Bazelgeuse's scales will turn orange and explode immediately upon hitting the ground, making them deadlier than ever before." "It primarily enters this state when hunting, carpet bombing prey before swooping down and feeding on the remains of its quarry. Since its jaws and talons aren't very strong, it'll let some of its scales explode on the corpse to soften up its meal." "Bazelgeuse is also capable of breathing fire by using an explosive gland found in its mouth to do so." "Rather than the respiratory and digestive system, another system of organs secretes and produces the bodily fluids that Bazelgeuse uses. To protect its internal organs as it breathes, Bazelgeuse can close up its throat to prevent heat from entering its body." "Bazelgeuse has a cooling system in its body to help it stay cool when it heats up and needs to drink a lot of water to maintain a medium for the bacteria that it uses to create its bodily fluids."

The moment they hear the roar of another large monster, they'll immediately search for the source before either driving off or slaying the intruder." "By keeping other large monsters out of their territory, Bazelgeuse can have more prey for themselves without any competition. Many hunters fear Bazelgeuse because it'll often come out of nowhere while they're hunting." "However, more plentiful prey means that individuals could unintentionally attract a Deviljho to their territory, causing the two wyverns to fight each other. These long turf wars cause all weaker species to flee the area for safety."
