The Biology of Monster Hunter | Ancient Forest

[@peterstoric6560]

I’ve said it before I’ll say it again, the ecology of monster Hunter is severely underrated and I’m glad it’s getting more recognition

[@XonixDerps]

Even more true seeing concept art books and sketches, they even break down the plants and terrain to how ti would be.

[@thereptile9467]

Here's an interesting thought: The Kestodons are clearly seen foraging near the coastline, so unless they just like the taste of saltwater, I'd say that they are scavenging for washed-up fish and crustaceans. Because despite being a herbivore there's nothing that says you can turn down a good, free meal. Meat is much easier to digest than plant matter after all. It could be a nice link to their real-life inspiration as well, as newer studies support the idea that Pachycephalosaurs were more omnivorous than previously thought.

[@rexthemazedinosaur8253]

That’s a good theory. I’ve always thought that they either swam or walked into the water for kelp or something. It didn’t make sense because of its head and overall body structure.

[@Zerox_Z21]

Kestodon also occur in spacious, shady understory in the forest, but also inhabit dry desert regions. I suspect a preference for open spaces and rocky terrain may draw them to the exposed coastline in the forest, as well as potential seaweed.

[@irvancrocs1753]

True like Deer in real life actually would eat meat or falling birds when they have chance..

[@Personoide]

Makes me think of the way sea turtles mainly eat seaweed but will no doubt use those same chompers on a crab if they catch it lackin

[@ekosubandie2094]

Kestodon and their volcano-dwelling cousin Gastodon are Brute Wyvern, so somewhere down the evolutionary line this thing are related to carnivorous Anjanath and the ravenous Deviljho

I would've liked a bit more depth, like Anjanath's flame breath, or Rathian being the female form of Rathalos, but I assume he cut some things to keep it to 20 minutes. Besides, Rathian will probably be explained in greater detail in part 2 with the Wildspire Waste.

14:47 The Deviljho possess a MASSIVE high-speed metabolism, sadly, this drives them into a permanent state of hunger and food seeking which if not sustained it could lead to madness. It's no surprise to encounter entire ecosystems that lack of the Hunters Guild's presence at the verge of collapsing because a Deviljho arrived and stayed far too long. That's why the Hunter's guild, an institution dedicated to track, capture and regulate the population of this world creatures often refer the Deviljho as "The Eater of Worlds", though the Hunters, the Guild's agents who are send to deal with these kind of problems; gave to this extremely dangerous creature an unofficial, more charming nickname, THE PICKLE.

Even the Deviljho is more than just something to beat down and be done with. Same for Rajang, Bazelgeuse, Seregios, and basically every monster. Heck, whatever doesn't fall under the normal logic actually being noted as such helps add to the world, as it makes it clear it being noted that Elder Dragons often don't make much sense (if any) is very much something that the in-universe characters would say if asked

@@richterdelgan123 Except...not quite? Sure, they are often considered closer to forces of nature rather than normal beasts, but I don't recall anything listing them as generally paranormal or akin to cryptids, especially since though rare, Elder Dragons are known to exist, unlike most cryptids that tend to be very, very wonky in the confirmed existence department at best. As for research tools available, it more appears that they have trouble fully understanding them with what they have due to their abilities often having strange sources, but more often than not there's at least theories about how they work, with a biological basis in their abilities. Examples include Chameleos' invisibility involving subtle electrical charges and a special organ in the Kushala Daora's horns being tied to it's Wind powers somehow.

Perhaps the Anjanath in the forest has no need for it, as like the video said, they tend to overheat. In Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin, Anjanaths appear in Loloska, which is covered in snow and Ice, so maybe it uses that fire to keep its body heat in check. But maybe I'm totally wrong.

[@johngrace1312]

@@leafwingrevenge1014 In World, the only other place that the Anjanath appears is in the Wildspire wastes, which is very much a desert. Folger Anjanath is the Arctic adapted species, so it doesn’t make a lot of sense for it to have made the adapted a “Fire Sac” as the MH guild calls it, for the reason of heat regulation. But it’s also true that it doesn’t use its flame against anything isn’t stressing it, So it might be an underdeveloped last resort weapon.

It's even more detailed! for example Pukei-Pukei have bird-like feet, with a toe pointing backwards, which is a great adaptation for tree dwelling lifeforms, but we don't see Pukei very high up.

[@bradleydevron]

No, you are right in how it is perfect to cover. Monster Hunter has loads put in to how the monsters are designed, down to the tiniest detail. Diablos, for example, doesn't have sharp claws or talons, instead having more blunt nails on it's wings for digging and flat, rounded toenails to have a wider spread of weight on the sand when walking atop the sandy dunes it calls home. There's also how they act in response to each other, be it ambivalence, to fighting for territory, to more subtle interactions like how Pukei-Pukei bullies weaker monsters but flees at stronger ones, and even then it's clear it's not always the case as proven by the Pukei-Pukei in the Witcher collab, which willingly helps Geralt out if he frees it from the Leshen's roots. Heck, the monsters that are more fantastical (like Elder Dragons) are the major exceptions and even then that's the point, being considered so in-universe, which goes double (or even triple perhaps) with the outright supernatural monsters, which besides Final Fantasy's Behemoth and The Witcher's Leshen includes the Fatalis Trio, Dire Miralis, and Alatreon.

So glad someone is paying attention to this side of the game, it's so well done, and to think their only purpouse is to be, well, hunted, is wierd

[@kennethsatria6607]

Least World gave a reason as a way of preserving an ecosystem from particularly hostile individuals or saving people or capture for research or a needed resource for tackling larger threats humans aren't equipped against. Rise has one where someone wanted Nargacuga boots or has an young aristocrat looking to hunt for kicks and we gotta save their ass. What a drop in writing quality. Older now non canon lore states a civilization hunting and harvesting monsters to the point of war and the world now being basically post apocalyptic after the monsters wiped them out. To me it gives a sense of complexity to the struggle as even the simplest creatures have an instinctual trauma against their old oppressors. But again not very canon anymore sadly.

[@leeeeeeoooooooooon1476]

Yo, good video as always. There are some things I want to touch upon as a very avid player of this game series who plays this game a bit too much. -Monster classification: In the game, the monsters are classified into different classifications based on things such as characteristics and biology. For example, both the Deviljho and the Anjanath are part of the same classification; Brute Wyverns -Elements: In the game, monsters and weapons can have elements that they can use for attacking or defending. Those elements are Fire, Ice, Water, Thunder, and Dragon. The Rathalos can use the fire element via the flame sacs inside their chest. -Turf Wars: I won't spoil too much here but some of the monsters that interact with each other will sometimes lead them to fight one another, usually to protect territory or predation. These actions are very interesting because they let you see what monster stands at what level in the food web. -The Reason why we hunt these monsters: I don't remember if it was fully explained in the series but the reason hunters hunt these monsters are either to protect/regulate the ecosystem or that the monster has strayed too close to human settlements and can endanger people. For example, the Deviljho as explained in the video, are nomadic hunters that can and will throw the ecosystem out of balance. -Elder Dragons: I also won't spoil this too much but basically, these monsters are in their separate categories of their own and are usually seen as so dangerous that confronting one would most likely lead to your death. They are at the tip-top of the food chain and are referred to as natural disasters. Thanks again for making this video and I hope you continue making content about this series. There is so much to talk about when it comes to speculative biology and this series.

A neat detail about Monster Hunter is that, for the most part, the majority of monsters follow a similar overall build to the tetrapods of the real world. Four limbs, a tail, a torso, and a head with two eyes, a nose, a mouth, and ear canals. With some notable exceptions, it truly does feel like many of the creatures in the game could have evolved alongside each other on the same planet. Something that’s surprisingly uncommon.

Im so glad you are doing monster hunter biology. I love this series, make me feel like I'm watching a documentary on tv when i was a kid. Pls make more episode on monster hunter soon. Cheers

[@llonndo041a]

Let me tell you, I’ve been subscribed to you for awhile And now that you’ve talked about my ABSOLUTE favorite game(s) (I’ve been playing since tri) i am so, happy.

[@moonrydre5296]

Finally!!! I've been waiting for a video like this for eons!!!

[@leechlove5416]

Amazing, the whole series is amazing, I'm glad you picked world since it's the most grounded of the games

[@ilovetotri5836]

Oh I like that you made so much thought about MH. I love the Forest and the Desert, I always thought that there went so much idea and biology work into the creation of them. I can't wait for Episode 2.

0:10 ah yes, the thundering behemoth *aptonoth*

[@Cattenheimer]

What a monster

[@johncoffman5536]

Two of my fave things: Monster Hunter & Curious Archive!

[@FoxInvictus]

i just recommend to use the Book "Dive into Monster Hunter World" with more than 600 pages :)

[@cloud__zero]

YES!!! I requested Monster Hunter a while back and I’m so happy you’re finally covering it, and giving it a proper series! Can’t wait to see the rest

[@lekyubi7589]

Loved it. I really hope to see each biomes fully explored.

I've got well over 200 hours in MH:World and It's DLC, and there are some behaviors you've captured that I've managed to miss even in my large playtime. Particularly noteworthy were the regurgitation behavior of the Great Jagras, and the Anjanath using its sails to cool off during its idle hours. 15:44 One thing that might be worth noting about the Deviljho's invasive nature, relatively small population size, and seeming unhealth is that they are all likely influenced by one factor: hunger. In game-notes detail that the Deviljho has an exceptionally high metabolism, even for a creature of its gargantuan proportions. This means that Deviljho need to be almost constantly hunting and eating in order to keep themselves alive, and they are seldom if ever sated. I look forward to the continuation of this series, I love this kind of content, especially when it involves field work :).

[@TheRealSaonis]

[@itsthatcat4709]

[@thedoctor1204]

Thanks for showing this guys video I'm very much invested

[@Alteori]

@@thedoctor1204 of course! Spread the word 😄

[@sparkedfires]

As someone who very recently got into Monster Hunter (I personally have Rise) I majorly appreciate this video. I love the creatures of this world and adore the interactions they have with each other and the world around them (though that's... limited in Rise) so this is going to be a treat!

[@junevue9665]

I believe in sunbreak their bringing it back

[@sparkedfires]

@@junevue9665 I hope so, I'd love to experience that myself.

[@junevue9665]

@@sparkedfires they releases a video of the new area tour

[@sparkedfires]

@@junevue9665 I've been trying not too check trailers too much because I want to go in relatively blind, so that's news to me! Makes me even more excited for the release!

[@MonguiStudios]

This was one of the coolest videos i ever saw

[@Jack-ff3mp]

Been binging your channel recently and was ecstatic when i saw you released a video on Monster Hunter. Love your style and really hope you carry on with your expedition

[@ħaďes777]

I've been waiting for this

[@MossyFish1]

I love getting out of school then seeing that you uploaded, ur videos keep me going!

[@Jawmax]

I'd love to see more videos like this. I look forward to more.

[@riohudson9612]

This is amazing, man. But I gotta warn you, the sheer number of monsters of the MH series is absolutely insane, especially when including variants. It seems like a hefty roster, but in the end it's all up to you. You are the best at this stuff, CA!

[@chheinrich8486]

I always wanted Explorers like the starship enterprise visiting the planet from monster hunter

[@rakimion]

Having grown up on Animal Planet, this format of exploring biology and echology is increidbly entertaining to me. I am so glad i found your channel

[@TheCaxa]

Lesss go when i was a kid this was my favorite game
