It’s kinda funny how gypceros is made to annoy hunters. Poison attacks, stealing items, the flash, and playing dead. I think it works a bit too well given the general dislike of this birb but points for being distinct
@EthanFazel10 ай бұрын
From a developer’s/director’s perspective, Gypceros serves to teach the player about how breaking body parts can cripple a monster via its beak, to bring items via its use of poison, and to be ready to craft new items within the hunt itself thanks to its ability to steal items, and the extreme likelihood of your Antidotes running dry from getting poisoned, all of which are key skills later into the game. It’s a LOT of annoying things to cram into one monster, but, much like how Khezu teaches you the importance of backing off via AOE spam, you’re almost certainly going to take those lessons on board after learning them the hard way, getting flashed and poisoned a bajillion times. As for the playing dead thing, I got nothing. No other monster has a similar mechanic within MH1 and all games hence don’t have anything like it either, so it’s just kinda there as an auxiliary mechanic.

I have a fun theory as to why Puprle Gypceros are so rare. My theory is that it is because Nerscylla prefer to hunt them over regular Gypceros. To those unfamiliar with Nerscylla, it is a Temnoceran (AKA giant f-off spider) that hunts Gypceros and wears its skin as a defense mechanism. My theory is that they prefer to go after Purple Gypceros due to the added poisons in their hide, adding to their defenses even more than normal Gypceros hide would. Do note that is just a fan theory ompletely made up by me though.

Good ole Gypceros, everyone’s least favourite poison spitting, flint-flashing, item stealing, playing dead-ing, rubber chicken. Go too far? Slapped with a poison glob, instacharged or having an item stolen via a flurry of blunt pecks. Get too close? See above, plus the good ole flap-back, which just pushes you into the “too far” range. Get behind it? Go go gadget tail! Leave it alone for more than two seconds? Hope you enjoyed your retinas while you had them. Killed it at last? Nope, it’s still alive somehow. Still, it’s funny how this piece of rubber flavoured poultry that everyone hates had its reputation boosted into the stratosphere in 4th gen because, ironically enough, we encountered the one thing that hated Gypceros almost as much as us in Nerscylla, and suddenly Gypceros was a good boi that did no wrong.

I can't wait to see the next episode. The Kirin is one of my franchise favorites, besides the obvious reason for male hunters regarding the female low rank Armor. I always wondered HOW this was deemed an elder dragon exactly. Was it only because of the ability to control lightning wrecking havoc on the ecology? Why does it have hooves and no wings like many wyverns? Are Kirin related to any common monsters? What makes them successful in the Monster Hunter World? Also, why hasn't there been attempts at domestication? This is a perfect monster to try it with, lightning control put aside.
