Its inclusion as a Grand Claw Wyvern in this video is based on the MHRise Phylogeny, the newest one we have, which changed it compared to the Iceborne one. - Viper Kadachi kinda just went missing but yes he obviously exists and is a subspecies of the Tobi Kadachi Genus.

I wish your video would have mentioned Akantor and Ukanlos as creatures that blur the line between standard wyverns and Fanged wyverns, a sort of bridge between the two groups. EDIT: After all, those two giants are four-legged, with strong front limbs, a tail and are flightless.

for me, zinogres are like super invasive species because after they came down from the misty peaks, they just multiply super fast then spread all over the world.

[@K3b1bisLtu]

They're probably omnivorous, too.

[@papiwulfe8485]

as Much I like to say that we need to know more tbh. Zingore's are more like wandering shoguns exploring the landscape. Misty Peaks was its throne, it's home. I wonder if Zingore's actually use Raths like how wolves would use crows and ravens for food or even a good fight. We see Jinouga (original name) observing the skies in portable 3rd when he sees the elder dragon Amatsumagatsuchi, he wants to challange the elder dragon, he glows and tries to get it's attention but the elder dragon continues. I hope in wilds we get to see more behavior patterns that reflect this, because to me like how Devilijo is the devourer, Jinouga is the Challanger. A wandering samurai wanting to test himself and his blade against any welcoming challanger. I can go on sorry.

Magnamallo: FANGED WYVERNS CANT FLY HUH?!?

[@randomguy4616]

Well.. Technically he just jumps multiple times in the air so no flying lmao

[@JanusHoW]

I love the semi-scientific classification system Monster Hunter and its fandom has developed. They may even have real-life parallels. The Fanged Wyverns are basically the synapsids, or "mammal-like dinosaurs". In our world, the survivors after the end of the Permian period - at which point they were replaced by the therapsids, or true dinosaurs - eventually evolved into mammals. Meanwhile, the Fanged Wyverns are synapsids that never went extinct, and ended up leaning further into being like mammals without actually becoming them. It seems like most of them evolved in a manner similar to wolves - whether it be the Thief Wyverns' pack structure or Zinogre & Lunagaron's overall appearance and love of howling. Magnamalo is the only one we know of that went the "cat" route. Also, I realized why Lunagaron can appear in any environment in Rise except the Lava Caverns and Sandy Plains - it requires at least some degree of airborne moisture to live comfortably - the hotter the environment, the more moisture it needs to stay there. The Jungle, being a jungle, has plenty of moisture for Lunagaron to breathe in and cool itself with in spite of the heat. But the Sandy Plains is a hot, arid place, so it has little if any airborne moisture for Lunagaron to use. One COULD make an argument for Lunagaron being able to hang out in the watery areas of the Lava Caverns, as you can find Tetranadon, the spongy Ludroths and the cave-loving Khezu there. But I suspect there are way too many fire-wielding competitors for its comfort, especially the Raknas, Teostra and Magma Almudron.

[@bri1085]

Don't fanged beats kind of undermine this point, being very mammalian design wise.

[@CrownofMischief]

​@@bri1085 not really. It just means some of them never changed. We still have reptiles despite the fact that birds and mammals exist, this would just imply Fanged Beasts split off from the main synapsid line and evolved alongside them

[@robertmacfergus9288]

Personally I would like to see Zinogre, Magnamalo and Girros alongside Akantor and Ukanlos being put in its own group together, as they have sprawling leg morphology rather then erect leg morphology that the other members of the fanged wyvern suborder have. I do also want pseudo flying wyvern to became a group as well, but I do think Akantor and Ukanlos are likely not in this group and fit the hypothetical sprawling fanged wyvern group instead. Also thank you for having custom subtitles, videos like this with scientific terms are some of the few that autogenerated subtitles aren't the best for.

[@jettblade]

Very interesting video. Honestly I really like that they've expanded the fanged wyverns the last couple of games. I hope to see Odogaron and Dodogama again, it is my favorite fanged wyverns. It would also be nice to see more of them being pack monsters so they could compliment the 'raptors', like Great Izuchi, as early game encounters. I like the idea of the Jagras and Girros as pack monsters but I wasn't a fan of Great Jagras, Great Girros is awesome. Shame we didn't get a Great Shamos or Great Wulg, the latter would have been really neat.

Many other monster categories are much smaller like with the snake wyverns and the wingdrakes, you’ll probably start the the big popular monster times outta the way before tackling least explored monsters. But I would put snake wyverns and wingdrakes into one video in the near future

[@joshuasgameplays9850]

Yeah he's probably have to mash the smaller categories together in order to make a decently long video. Wingdrakes + Snake Wyverns, Piscine Wyverns + Amphibians, Temnocerans + Carapaceons, and that would still be a pretty short video lol

[@stormerjc9493]

So I have a few thoughts on fanged wyverns, first I like to think that fanged wyvern are the synapsids of the monster hunter world and both them and fanged beasts likely have a common ancestor just like how real synapsids gave rise to mammels Second, why the hell don't we have a great wulg, seriously I love icebornes roaster but a great wulg would have made a fantastic low teir, it's the one time I want a small monster to have a great or drome, And finally I personally feel like the thief fanged wyverns should get reclassified as amphibians, the seem much more related to them being lizards and toads then they are to the other fanged wyvern with seem more like mammel like reptiles

[@jorgemedrano1764]

I know it's your opinion but I highly disagree with that last part. The game series only have 3 amphibians and they all share the same amphibian class traits; frog-like Shape and strong forelegs. I do think some thief wyverns and amphibians may have had a common ancestor as to some of them share the same bellie expansion technique.

[@stormerjc9493]

@@jorgemedrano1764 we can agree to disagree, always good to have healthy discussion, I've always looked at fanged wyvern as the synapsids of the MH world while Ampibions are the frogs/taods/lizards/turtles of the world and so the thief wyvern fit the bill to me, you even said some of them likely share a common ancestor, we can have Mutiple skeletons in the same class just look a true and Psudo flying wyverns, plus I think it's fair to say the in universe scientists of the monster hunter world mabye don't have all the facts and are probably getting some things wrong, just look at the evolution of how we have look at dinosaurs over the last couple hundred years as our understanding changed, we went from dump slow tail dragging cold blooded brutes to fast active warm blooded and likely featherd animals, so a lot can change

[@kennethsatria6607]

8:50 Are you not listing subspecies anymore? In the Brute W. Video, you also left out the Raging Brachydios in your script, which is weird since you've included every subspecies, variant and whatnot for all monsters. Sorry, I just find it a bit jarring.

[@Oceaniz]

You must be thinking of the main documentary series. In the Phylogeny series, I have always skimmed over Monster Variations since a) variants/deviants/apexes do not matter to a phylogeny as they are generally assumed to not be genetically distinct and b) listing subspecies would be redundant as they are just in the same slot as the Genus. I generally just show subspecies interspersed in the footage, which is also the case here (except Viper Tobi, I just outright forgot him and will add him in the Compilation release).

In our evolution they would likely be lumped with stem mammals. But in MH they're dinosaurs. :D Also because of that I refuse to believe any that have fur have actual fur. Realistically its more likely a type of feather or feather-like structure. Nargacuga while a different type of wyvern is listed as having fur yet on closer inspection they're feathers especially its quills and its wing blades are made of hardened feathers.

Viper its pretty much a tobi that left the forest. In iceborne viper can't really withstand the cold temperatures, that's why he spends most of his time underground.

In my opinion, Magnamalo is the only bad flagship monster, and I hope they leave him away from the main series, he looks so unrealistic (between the bounds of MH) and Frontierlike, I also disllike Almudron and Somnacanth for the same reasons, I could maybe give a second chance to Somnacanth since it is the least unrealistic of them. And although I believe that Valstrax looks cool, I also dislike it being a part of the MH roster, it is just too out there, it just brings back my disbelief when I see his rockets, is just too much. It kinda happens the same with the Charge blade, my mind hardly accepted the switch axe and then they came up with the charge blade which is even more unrealistic (again, even between the bounds of the fantasy world of MH). I hope the new main MH title brings the franchise back to earth.

[@jims3492]

Are you shitting me? Did you start with world or what? Realism is out of the question when literally elder dragons are a thing in this game. You don’t bat an eye at Kirin whom literally teleports, same with Malzeno, you have the entire black dragon trio, you have a giant snake the size of a mountain, but somehow the line is crossed with only a handful of designs that you cherry pick as “unrealistic”. “Frontierlike” good lord let’s keep you away from the franchise instead. Almudron looks more unrealistic than something like Zinogre or Brachydios???? Nobody on Capcom cares about your suspension of disbelief especially when you as the hunter can survive a 100m fall without damage. This game series is clearly not for you when you want to bitch and moan about realism. Your definition of out of bounds of the mh franchise is all bullshit. Valstrax is just as grounded as Xenojiva. What a load of crap. You want something more down to earth, go back to base World. The fantasy’s designs are what makes it unique.
