The different shades of colour would be an interesting mechanic to be featured in a game. It helps to differentiate each encounter to make it just a bit more interesting. Imagine you're just doing a Rathian quest as usual but you see the Rathian that seems just a bit bigger than usual with less saturation, implying it's an older Rathian. But to be fair not many people would care, they will just annihilate whatever is the quest target.

[@ArifRWinandar]

Maybe when you hunt two of the same monster, both of them could have slightly different coloration to help distinguish them, especially if both are in the same area.

[@ericbusch1669]

Someone else in the comments said this as well but it's worth echoing. Imagine having all of these avaliable and the game picks one of the various skins to use per monster. So you hunt Rathian, but she can be anywhere from very muted green to literal emerald in the sky. And if they did named hunts where you find, "a well aged and particularly strong specimen that people have nicknamed (blank)" and it's a hunt Red King or one of the other more detailed alternate skins.

For real how bad ass would it be to get to fight and see the red king diablos in game from the first art book, what I would give to see that Also for real black diablos should be reclassified as a variant Also imagine how cool it would be if we got to see a kushala shedding its skin just like in the ecology video but in game

[@thatnoctutnallizard4600]

It'd be cool for elders to like "regenerate" and for kushala it'd be shedding it's skin because let's be honest the elders are difficult but their lacking a certain punch to distinguish their hunts from normal hunts

[@stormerjc9493]

@@thatnoctutnallizard4600 I know there fights have gotten a lot better just look at kushala in rise he's the best he's ever been, I'd like to see a return of mechanic from older games of fighting the same elder over various quests and regains with the health and part breaks carrying over

[@bobisuncanny2760]

Black Diablos should just be a normal species like rathian

[@blobvisfan666]

That's why I really wanted those rumors of Rusted Kushala coming to Iceborne to be true. I imagine it would've been a two-staged fight. First you'd star of fighting the regular Kushala Daora: slower than its regular counterpart with less wind attacks, but capable of inflicting bleed with said wind attacks, due to all the metal flakes it constantly sheds. Then, at half health, it would push you back with a huge gust of wind, in order to safely molt into its second phase. Here, it would logically take a *lot* more damage, but also become much quicker and use everything at its disposal (i.e. the mobile tornadoes in Rise, more frequent and bigger giant wind blasts and the wind beam it also learned in Rise). Would've made the fight a lot less annoying in the first phase, and a lot more exciting in the second, due to it becoming more of a glass cannon like Rajang.

[@stormerjc9493]

@@blobvisfan666 totally everything you just said is awesome, always thought it would be a nice touch to come across a rusted kushala and have it molt later in the fight, or even just watching it go about its days and just decide to molt into a regular kushala, My question is would it be possible to have a monster that casually can transform from normal to variant and back agien? Would rusted kushala mabye need to be scraped as a variant and just have kushala go through this natural life cicle in the fight?

[@IplayTeemoasaWard]

Ok, how about a mod that just lets you drag in multiple skins for each monster and the game randomizes the skin for each encounter? :D

[@alexanderthegreat6682]

Imagine if you mixed pink rathian with the rathian skins and then had no idea how powerful it would be until you actually fight it? Pink normal rathian, bright green pink rathian, large faded red azure rathalos. Gold and silver should stay distinct though.

[@LutherWilken32]

Good idea, it would bring more diversity in the game

[@Raymond670]

i do wish World's Rathalos was abit more vibrant witht he red, like your one, i think that looks perfect the Gold dust Glavenus looks interesting too, is that like if 1 lived in Elderado? also i weirdly LOVE the sandy Diablos, it's a small detail but it makes so much sense

[@孫慧娟-u9c]

I feel like Glavenus would be the one brute wyvern that would actively seek out hunters and make nesting places near settlements. Not necessarily to kill humans or raid livestock, but to watch and imitate how hunters use their weapons so as to have an edge against other Glavenus in the inevitable interspecies conflicts for turf and mating rights.

[@evodolka]

@@孫慧娟-u9c i could see something like that, hell maybe that is how HellBlade got so skilled but i recon most likely they do what whales do, learn it from their parents, then learn from other Glavenus they come across to add to their skills

Between all these, you just never miss. Especially regional blue, Yin Rathalos, Red King, and Niha

[@andrewcrowley6331]

Guardian Rathalos: large and very old Rathalos variants known to dwell in mountainous regions. They aren’t as effective at flying as they used to be, but their physical strength and firepower are immense, allowing them to still be the dominant predator of their environment. Purple boi/Rathalos: a rare genetic mutation of Rathalos. Much about these monsters remains unknown due to how elusive and few in number they are, though some reports claim their poison is much more lethal than a regional Rathalos. Yin Rathalos: believed to be closely related to Silver Rathalos, these powerful wyverns are rarely seen and even more rarely survived. Favoring more harsh environments than their cousins, they’ve been known to challenge elder dragons for territory. Reports claim their fireballs are blindingly bright. Yin Rathian: the female counterpart of Yin Rathalos. Oddly enough, their colors are much more mute than other Rathian variations, contrasting the sky-blue of Yin Rathalos. It’s thought this is because the flashiest males display to attract mates, making bright colors in the female unnecessary. Some reports claim her fireballs are laced with poison and a sleep agent, similar to an Espinas. Sandy Diablos: these Diablos live in the most barren and harsh stretches of desert, and the fierce heat forces them to stay underground most of the time. This is why their skin seems more dusty and sandy than other Diablos. Red King Diablos: a Diablos subspecies found in volcanic regions. Their skin is heat resistant and their horns are hard as iron, allowing them to dig through volcanic rock. Like their desert cousins, they feed on sparse vegetation and are highly territorial, driving out other herbivores from their feeding grounds. When enraged, their bodies can heat up to the point simply touching it can set you on fire. Goldgrex: a Tigrex subspecies found in the caverns of El Dorado. They control the caves created by Kulve Taroth during her own territorial patrols. The bulk of their diet is Rheneplos, one of the few herbivores hardy enough to survive in the caverns. When they attack, they cover their claws in heated rock that hardens over time, making their claws heavier and hit much harder, though this also slows their movements. Usually they are the dominant predator of the caverns, but there is one rarely seen monster that rivals them. Gold Dust Glavenus: this rare species of brute wyvern is thought to be just below Kulve Taroth in the El Dorado food chain. Large, powerful and intelligent, they’ve been known to follow the mighty elder dragon and slice chunks of gold off her tail. They then attach and melt these onto their own blade like tail, superheating it and allowing them to cut through rock and metal with ease. They’ve been reported to mesmerize the movements of their opponents to better counter them, including hunters. As such, the guild exercises extreme caution on any who wish to hunt them. Titanium Kushala Daora: these elder dragons are well known for their metallic skin, but this variant takes it a step further. Their skin is of such impressive density and weight, that some researchers are impressed it can fly at all. It’s still unknown how exactly they gain these attributes, some believe they ingest certain minerals to harden their skin, while others believe it’s simply what happens when a Kushala grows very old. If the latter is true, a Titanium Kushala could be many thousands of years old. They are known for preferring physical attacks unlike their cousins who usually use wind, and they also have much greater physical strength. Note, these are all just my thoughts and speculation. The creator probably has their own lore behind these designs, but I thought it’d be fun to think some facts up myself.

These are some nice lore notes here. I don't actually have lore for those, the only ones I do have lore for are "Golddust" and the "Yín Raths"

[@librus8680]

"Much like ourselves, Monsters are individuals who are shaped by their own experiences and surroundings. However, most Hunters only encounter more dramatic alterations: Deviants, Apexes, and the like - while more subtle changes usually result in a Subspecies over multiple generations. No, what I discuss here are the more subtle shifts - how one Rathalos may appear more vivid and colorful than another, simply because of its particular diet. Or how some Diablos appear more 'grainy', these individuals subjected to more frequent sandstorms. And nothing to say of their behavior - much like Deviants, individuals who survive different circumstances will learn different behaviors. A darker Nargacuga may have learnt to be much more of an ambush predator - their umbral fur making them practically invisible in deeper, darker forests. Of course, attempting to classify these specimens is an exercise in futility. It's impossible to categorize individuals, and a Rathalos is always a Rathalos to a Hunter, regardless of size or saturation. Still, I have decided to document my findings as best to my ability - perhaps there are trends to observe that, with time, could be compiled into useful information. Perhaps certain shades or colorations can help determine individuals who are more docile around people - or have a tendency for certain attacks. For now, of course, I will simply settle for my own satisfaction - and a reminder that every Monster is an individual, with their own unique histories."
