The Dog Wyvern | Monster Hunter Ecology

[@Oceaniz]

[Notes/Corrections/Sources] *Notes* - The term "Island District" is a fanmade word used to describe the collection of islands seen in this video. - The World Map seen in this video is a recreation of the canon map we got in Encyclopedia 2, but the exact location of anything after MH Freedom Unite is highly speculative. - The Phylogeny seen in this video is a direct translation of the official phylogeny of Monster Hunter as found in the Sunbreak Book, with only the binomial names being added by me. You can check out the full tree here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11AWF4Cfj9YSM5w-X_Ejfe1mFgM5qmqNUmKSJZVT_ZNg/edit?gid=473735171#gid=473735171 - Runner Wyvern being a good place to start investigating a locale is an assumption by me, never stated in-canon but it makes sense I think. - Scout Jaggi is a name I made up to descripe the lone Jaggi groups you can find in-game. - It isn't confirmed that it is the Scout Jaggi that dig the tunnels. - The Fire Country is canon and we know it to be a client & ally of the Hunter's Guild, but it is never stated that they helped discovering the Wroggi, that is an addition by me. - What I call the Graveyard Tundra in this video is simply called "The Tundra" in the Third Gen games. My name for it comes from various quest descriptions in MH3U referencing a hidden area in that locale called "The Wyvern Graveyard". - The history of how the Baggi was discovered is made up by me. - Predators like Tigrex being the reason that Baggi packs merge rarely is pure assumption on my part, all the canon tells us is that they rarely form mega packs for unknown reasons. *Sources* Online Sources: tinyurl.com/JaggiThread tinyurl.com/JaggiaThread tinyurl.com/GrJaggiThread tinyurl.com/BaggiThread tinyurl.com/GrBaggiThread tinyurl.com/GrBaggiThread-R tinyurl.com/WroggiThread tinyurl.com/GrWroggiThread tinyurl.com/GrWroggiThread-R tinyurl.com/JaggiThread-JP tinyurl.com/JaggiaThread-JP tinyurl.com/GrJaggiThread-JP tinyurl.com/WroggiThread-JP tinyurl.com/GrWroggiThread-JP tinyurl.com/BaggiThread-JP tinyurl.com/GrBaggiThread-JP www.4gamer.net/games/107/G010746/20101015041/ www.4gamer.net/games/074/G007404/20090717073/ www.4gamer.net/games/074/G007404/20091013062/ Book Sources: Hunter’s Encyclopedia 3, pgs. 42-44 Monster Hunter Law of Ideas Vol. 2, pgs. 164, 165 Monster Hunter Rise: Official Setting Materials, pgs. 88, 89, 150, 151, 154, 155, 204, 206, 208 HAUNTING OF THE SUN, pg. 194 Monster Hunter Super Encyclopedia, pg. 74

Why didnt you mention the boggi isnt he a dog wyvern two ? I was exited for boggi Correct me if im wrong

[@LacTose90]

Isn’t Great Maccow a dog wyvern? Sorry if that’s a stupid question 😅

[@NottABug]

@@LacTose90 i think he is in his own sub order since he is pretty distinct from most runner wyverns

[@dinojack5567]

@@NottABug Maccao, Izuchi and Boggi were introduced in different generations, I assume oceaniz will talk of them in later seasons of this documentary series.

[@LacTose90]

@ nah it’s counted as a dog wyvern even in gain’s newest video he talks about it being part of that group its just found on a different island chain called the Jurassic frontier.

[@Hellbughunter]

The great Jaggi, what counted as a tutorial at the time.

[@huronblackheart]

15:10 "true loyalty" and "they protect eachother" says as the great wroggi blasts his own pack member with poison

[@ginam5497]

He was a traitor, I know because I was there, he challenged the alpha who was already fighting a hunter.

[@huronblackheart]

@ginam5497 reasonable in that case

[@furyfossil4407]

It was an accident!

[@vxm1917]

If dog and runner wyverns come back to wilds with their greats and dromes, it would be both a welcome and terrifying sightif they pull it off. Imagine getting runned downed on a wide field by a pack of 30 or more veloci with 3 dromes, even while your on a Seikret.

[@FlyingScott]

Considering their hunting method and comparable size to a Seikret, there's a high chance booking it wouldn't even help you, with the established speed of the Jaggi especially.

[@ShukakuTheCrazy1]

Imagine getting jumped by large packs of gendrome and baggi in wilds. RIP

[@JanusHoW]

There is real-world precedent for this - on rare occasions, you find lion prides run by two males, who are almost always related.

[@holschermarc]

Imagine a Turf War between 2 Packs of Dog or Runner Wyverns. Like and all out 20 vs 20 brawl that ends with one of the leaders falling and the rest of the group than spliting in all directions. Would 100% bring out my Popcorn for that

[@Stroggoii]

Your console would melt. We already need NASA supercomputers to run the demo at normal quality 4k/60fps.

[@AngelPerez-tu1nk]

Ah, am i feeling nostalgic. Facing a Great Jaggi was my first challenge as a monster hunter, boy were those the days.

[@nathanblackburn1193]

I miss Great Jaggi, the fact that Rise had Great Baggi, Great Wroggi and regular Jaggi and Jaggia but no Great Jaggi is a crime

Great video as always, looks like the bear trio is next. I take it that Maccao, Izuchi and maybe Boggi may get their own video at a later date since they weren't covered here, or only just slightly acknowledged.

[@Oceaniz]

Yeah I wanted them in here originally, but once I saw how long just covering the original three would take, I decided to put the others off until a later episode :D

[@kairyu9207]

@Oceaniz I take it Lavasioth will also be covered later too with Jyuratodus and Beotodus

[@whiteninji352]

I find these guys (dog wyverns in general not just these three) way more compelling than the dromes although I guess they were dealt a better hand. And the Great Jaggi roar is ingrained into my head.

[@0cedced]

Truly the greatest dog in the MH series

[@nar1768]

huh, its interesting how both baggi and blango are increasing in intelligence. it seems like harsh enviroments bred ingenuity

[@GunlessSnake]

I always gotta give my respects to the Jaggi mob for teaching me that letting my sharpness on my Hammer go down to broken red and bouncing off of everything was in fact NOT a very smart idea! Also, if you ever mention future "misclassified Subspecies", please try and fit in a little blurb in reference to the IRL reasoning for their mis-classification i.e. needing to keep the old copyright/trademarks (same reason for "Super Saiyan Blue" being 'Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan" in merchandising), as well as the original Japanese language preventing there being more than 1 Subspecies and Rare Species per Monster.

[@silver057]

Khezu laying it's whelps into living bodies to serve as host, Baggi building army-like structures that also paralyze and eat their prey alive and them as well as Blangos gradually increase their intelligence to the point that the latter might even start building tools in the future? The northern regions seem to be the Australia of Monster Hunter (which is ironic because Australia means "Southern land").

[@andrewmahabir589]

These are even though most of them are reskins with a few added tricks (save izuchi cause they're super unique), i still love them. They have alot of personality compared to early raptors

Love these so much please don't stop man. Being an overnight worker, these make my time go by so much fasters

[@jasongordon1968]

I'm amazed that Great Jaggi's power could be contained in a video

[@Hilversumborn]

Jaggi’s design is simple yet amazing.

[@CrownofMischief]

9:52 I wonder if this could be a lore reason why we only see Jaggi in Rise. Like maybe the ones we encounter are on their journey to grow, and when they grow big enough to be Great Jaggi, they migrate to their home turf and we just don't see it

[@connorholding8437]

I cannot tell you how much I enjoy these video's, I run a DND game, and these videos got me thinking about the world I made and how the ecology works, how the party's actions effect the monsters of the world, it has improved the world so much thanks to your videos, I hope you keep doing these videos all the way through MH Wilds and beyond

[@Mangadude901]

Yet another awesome chapter completed. It's strange though; considering Rise has all these pack-like wyverns they could have had a Dog Wyvern pack in nearly every area! Shrine Ruins: Izuchi Frost Islands: Baggi Sandy Plains: Jaggi Flooded Forest: Wroggi Citadel: Boggi See where I'm going with this? I don't get why Great Jaggi isn't in Sandy Plains or that there's no leader for the Boggi.

[@tcslimmer]

Me: a single jaggi too easy The jaggi: DOMAIN EXPANSION

[@theincrediblefella7984]

This channel got me to play all the older monster hunter games and i absolutely adore the series. I look at it so differently from how i used to. Its not just an arcadey monster arena, vut a living and breathing world. Thank you for these incredible videos. Cant wait for your Wilds videos. It's my headcannon that my characters have studied all these "journal entries" to learn from them, haha

[@NiceSounds-s1b]

So is Great Jaggi bigger than the New World raptors?

[@Oceaniz]

We know that Baggi is the largest Dog Wyvern, and I guess you could try to compare him in Rise vs Kulu to see how they measure up, I didnt think to do that

[@NiceSounds-s1b]

@@OceanizOh for some reason I thought Great Jaggi was the biggest😭

[@ginam5497]

@@NiceSounds-s1b Because in cut-seens he is, in at least 2 he is the size of a aptonoth, bigger than the others by a fair bit.

[@jacktheomnithere2127]

favourite "Dog Wyvern" in terms of combat: Great Wroggi. i like poison as an offensive status on a monster, and Great Wroggi has a good design. he also lives in the Flooded Forest (second favourite swamp... and that 2nd place is about to be contested with the incoming Scarlet Forest). favourite "Dog Wyvern" in terms of equipment: Great Jaggi. his SnS has one of the best designs i've ever seen. it's basically a *thicc* Messer and a Heater Shield. if Great Jaggi (somehow) returned in Wilds, then you can bet your whole in-game wallet and your Congalala-esque butt that i'm making that SnS.

wasnt there not also a mention somewhere that G-baggis can be male and female ? while Wroggi and Jaggi the greats are only males or doi remember false i think it comes that for Wroggi and Jaggi it directly says the Greats are an Alpha male of the pack but for Baggi it never states explicitly that its the Alpha male
