TF2's "Meet the Team", but with Monster Hunter monsters...

So a while ago I was asked if I could animate the "Meet the Team" videos but with MH monsters instead, and this was the result.
The monsters chosen to be in this animation were not my own, besides Archimedes, but were instead chosen by some mutuals from a Discord server, and specifically voted for.
Copy-pasta for deh KZbin gods:
Dis Monster Hunter animation is brought to you by "SFM", a software in beta since 2012

Ahtal-Ka being engineer has to be one of the most "that's literally him" moments

[@HPMCCPooTis]

My thoughts exactly

[@ThatRandomDude204]

I thought Ahtal-ka was girl or am I tripping?

[@dragonfire5000]

@@ThatRandomDude204 The Ahtal-kas that you fight in the game are all female. There are male Ahtal-kas and they are naturally gold in color (females become gold by eating the males), so I'm guessing Tea Common Shark is going by the assumption that male Ahtal-kas don't look that different from the females?

I like how you just gave up on animating Ceanataur's mouth parts to accurately lip-sync (if you could call it that) and just made them _aggressively jiggle around_ when he's speaking because trying to animate words with that kind of mouth would a Sisyphean task.

Khezu is the Medic. He just is. Ahtal-Ka would absolutely be Engineer. The argument could be made for Bob being Demoman, but Bazel works. Pyro could also be Agnaktor. I headcannon Scout being a velociprey who just wants to run with the big guys. Spy is absolutely either Gigginox or Lucent Nargacuga. I have no complaints about Heavy, he's great.
