Fatalis' regeneration lore be like: 

I am now the Oppenheimer of Monster Hunter. This video of turning a mythos into a reality has exploded more than expected. *Now I am become Death, the Destroyer of Canon.* (Destroyer_Of_Worlds.mp3 intensifies)

That’s just straight up terrifying if he suddenly has a fifth phase

… the most unsettling thing is how gentle the movements are, especially for fatalis. It’s such a tonal whiplash from the violent fury you normally see him in the the idea of him slowly and cautiously doing anything is unheard of. There’s no roars, no attacking, just grotesque and methodical movements…

[a voice, calm as a whisper, but cold and crushing and indomitable as a glacier]: *"N o w . . . W h e r e w e r e w e ?"*

Yeah, it's kinda terrifying. Pokke village in Mh:gu has a sword in a cave that has grown to as to the size of a bus and needs to be regularly mined with a pickaxe to keep it from getting bigger. You get fatalis parts from mining the giant sword.

You know how there are legends saying a fatalis regenerated from armor that a hunter was wearing? What if that happened to a hunter but instead of being absorbed by the regenerating fatalis, the hunter ended up keeping their consciousness and memories! They just ARE a fatalis now.

And this is the correct use of "add scale control to transform" 👏

I first thought that this would’ve started with someone in the Fatalis set, slowly warping and twisting into the beast itself, but this is somehow even cooler. The gentle yet haunting music of the Nowhere King really stresses the complete and utter _wrongness_ that is this… _thing_ that defies all conventions of biology slowly regenerating from previously dead, completely inert flesh into a monstrosity unmatched, crystal eyes of purest malice ablaze as it begins it’s wretched life anew.

Honestly, I really love the idea of more powerfull dragons in fantasy being not just really tough, but borderline impossible to kill traditionally

That is legitimately so cool and horrifying! The Fatalis trio always have had such fascinating lore behind them

"You will bring joy to him as the light leaves your leaves your eye." Is so in line with Fatalis it's down right horrifying.

Now for a part 2 in halloween... Instead of a sword, someone wearing armor.

There’s something deeply unsettling about seeing fatalis taking his time to do something, plus that head regenerating reminded me of ghidorah regrow his head

THIS IS WHY I TOLD YOU NOT TO MAKE SWORDS OUT OF IMMORTAL DRAGONS JERRY!

Fun Fact: In one of the older monster hunter games, they had these quests where you snatch monster eggs to study… …But the very last egg of said quest chain is a _Crimson Fatalis egg,_ even though it’s presumed there are only one of each kind of Fatalis on the planet at any given moment… _Meaning that, in the rare event that any given instance of Fatalis CAN’T regenerate from whatever last killed it (Like the Hunters resisting the urge to loot the corpse and thus proceed to incinerate it), a new Fatalis of the same kind, _*_If not the exact same individual, memories and all,_*_ WILL eventually revive into any random monster egg on the planet, and will proceed to grow to adulthood within hours of first hatching._

I love that he doesn't roar once he finishes regenerating, their fear is loud enough.

Fatalis isn't just a powerful monster,it should be the manifestation of our fear to the World,the nature itself

Imagine this will happen to the black sword in Pokke village, that would be terrifying for the village folks

Holy shit. The disturbing unfolding of his limbs like socks of gristle. The jaw forming bent-backward and breaking into place. The unnerving asymmetry of his generation. The choice of song. And in the end Fatalis poses like Grigori? This is my favorite work of yours, Shark. You're a damn legend.

Everyone is talking about how smooth and eerie the Fatalis transformation is (and rightfully so. It's beautiful and disturbing at the same time), but you did an excellent job conveying how the hunters help. Even if the one without a helmet had her face covered, you would still be able to capture how they felt. At first, they were confident, focused, ready to pounce at whatever they thought was happening with the sword, but as soon as it started growing, you knew that is one of the things they didn't expect and they, for lack of a better term, dropped their guard in surprise. As it kept growing, the fear in one's expression and movements while the others were frozen, either out of fear or awe, but none could tear their eyes away. It was evidently dangerous, unnatural, and wrong, but they couldn't stop watching it and couldn't bring themselves to move against it, even in it's vulnerable stages of growth. At the very final frame we see them, even after the threat has fully revealed itself, they're still staring at it, unmoving. You did a fantastic job with all of this. I've always admired your use of body movements in these animations.

Could you even imagine how ungodly terrifying and badass this would be if this was how we got Fatalis introduced to us in Icebourne? No Fatalis crashing through the ruins. Just everything starts to shake and everyone runs but you and the ace and you see the sword start to shake and begins this regeneration sequence. I would have ended the hunt right then and there seeing that!

This reminds me of the fact that according to a Monster Hunter art book, a baby Fatalis has only ever been observed hatching once. After which, it grew into a full adult Fatalis within the hour.

I just love how the final boss of the Monster Hunter games is straight up just a dragon. No fanciness, some heavy lore sure, but design-wise? It's a dragon.

Fatalis is such simple yet incredible monster for me, he *is* one of the most unnatural i'd say, purely due to the fact that he is as true as you get to a full on dragon as i see it. He is mythology made true, in a world where monsters are part of nature, he is unnatural And among his unnatural peers who defy said nature, he is the one who's been given the title as the most powerful and abnormal one, a true black dragon.

Fatalis' lore makes it seem like an outright eldritch monstrosity from beyond space and time and this animation does a good job conveying that same sense of disgust, confusion, awe and dreadful, blood-freezing terror that comes from the realisation that it is exactly as the legends say. Great job.

While I don't remember much from Centaurworld, the Nowhere king theme is just such an eerie and amazing villain melody. He was such an incredible villain in an, in my opinion, pretty basic show. Now combining the theme with Monster Hunter, and using it with what I still consider the hardest hunt I've ever had in the series, and you just made a legendary video in this community.

"you cannot kill me in a way that matters"

This is haunting, the way the body reforms from the sword and the gentle Nowhere King music give the feeling of horror, despair and fear. If Fatalis could talk, it would probably say, "You done goofed."

I was kinda expecting a roar at the end, but a part me ( the part of my soul that just died) thinks that silence is much more terrifying!

Another bit of interesting Fatalis lore is that when they hatch from their eggs (yes, they reproduce that way too), hatchlings have been observed to reach full adult size in a mere matter of hours.

Imagine just chilling out with your friends in game and our great sword you spent hours upgrading turns into a fatalis id be so pissed

Turns out the real Fatalis was the weapons we made along the way

You really nailed the confusion and horror displayed by the hunters at this atrocity. There’s a real unsettling grace to the whole sequence.

Fatalis is pretty much an extreme version of a mix between an axolotl, a cockroach, and a Hydra, IT JUST WONT STAY DEAD!

The animating of the head growing in its definitely inspired from Ghidorah regrowing back one of his heads.

Maybe that’s why the sword was in that ice cave in pokke village, to slow down its healing process.

Holy spit. This is incredible. Just imagine a Monster Hunter scenario/movie with this concept. Like a cursed sword that were found by either poachers or an unruly young hunter, and as monsters are slain by that sword, it’s fury grows until eventually it reverts back into its true form. This could either work as a prologue or a final battle.

"you see,things about lizards is...they can regenerate"

Now imagine this, but from the Hunter’s armor and enveloping the hunter who’s been having nightmares about Fatalis’ murderous aura. This is why Black Dragons are horrifying.

Never has un-zeroing scaled bone been so HAUNTING. But joking aside this made me remember something. Back in Mon Hunt Gen Ultimate, as we all know, in the village of Pokke there's the massive Black Sword. You mine it after every outing and it gives you parts that let you make the Black set. A very good Blademaster set particularly you play Great sword, fitting giving you mine from it. And like almost high armor in that game, lacking any down sides. Even after breaking into G.rank you don't need anything else from the sword, just the same stuff always givin to get it upgraded. Then later the big black dragon himself shows up and when looking at his armor bits it just kinda looks like what you had.. just 'BIGGER'. As if the old armor just grew 'OVER' you. One of the blurbs for one of the arms even simply says, "Your arms look like Fatalis's arms". And the skills it gives are the coveted Sharpness and handcraft. You're never meant to take off this armor. Fatalis in all his forms is the final enemy, the last task. Rathalos armor might be the one everyone knows. But Fatalis armor is the one everyone FEARS. Which seems to be the case with black dragon gear, giving Alteron has very similar blurbs about casting aside humanity and embracing dragons. Also, the fact it grew from a G.Sword and we don't SEE a fourth hunter puts so much implication to this. After all, why would a G.sword just be out in the middle of nowhere (HEH) when hunters are known to be in 4s?

*"I ALWAYS COME BACK"* -a very wise Green bunny

Horrifying, disturbing and it doesn’t help the fact it’s even said that fatalis can also regenerate from one single scale… Amazing animation!👍

If you told me this was a freaking dark souls boss intro, I wouldn't even doubt.

that final shot was fucking beautiful

It's like a Shin godzilla who's not a mindless animal, he actually has a goal in mind. Destroy all humans.

the way his head regenerates tells me you took inspo from Godzilla KOTM, and i fucking love it

finally the actual representation, now a hunter possessed by fatalis is missing

This really captures the alien nature of Fatalis, as well as the feelings of doom and despair that the beast invokes. MH Lore states that it can fully regenerate from the weapons and armor crafted from its remains, and thus it can never truly die. Brilliant work, overall!

Worse part is that the same applies to the Armor... i forget wich piece of the lore adress it but Hunters who wore Fatalis armor would one day up and disapear, wich makes me think the Armor at somepoint influences them or takes control and wanders off to a safe place where he can grow.

And from within the seemingly dead flesh A voice as soft as silk As old as time As evil as sin Calls out *"...hunt with me."* Yet perhaps the biggest mistake, and most foolish, is thinking we could slay what cannot be slain. Edit: extended it a bit 😅

Oh god, this music go so well with the Fatalis growing back... Inever realised how much the Fatalis sword in Poke Village was... so problematic...

Damn, you could really make a show with scenes like this, Fatalis or some other monster would be the main antagonist, and you already have 3 main characters, plenty of side characters, and a monstrous army they can overcome

Such a beautiful and horrifying animation Capcom's animation team are face palming whilst saying to themselves "why didn't we think of that"

I really felt sorry for that three hunters, they really aren't ready

I love the Fatalis lineage. They completely go against every other monster in the series just by the sheer fact that their lore and ecology feels more like an eldritch being straight out of Dark Souls as opposed to a natural part of the established Monster Hunter ecosystem. Although, contrary to how this animation portrays it, I would imagine Fatalis' regeneration takes time. At least a few years or even decades, I would imagine. Though, that does raise the question: If Fatalis can regenerate from a single scale, why doesn't it regenerate itself from any of our weapons or armor we make from it? Is there something with the process of making weapons in the Monster Hunter universe that renders it unable to regenerate from the parts of it that were made into our gear? How come wearing the Black Fatalis armor drives it's wearer mad, but the Armor of a White Fatalis gradually turns it's wearer into a new White Fatalis? Is the White Fatalis we fight in Monster 4U/GU actually the playable Hunter from Monster Hunter 2/FU? On top of that, what even is the relationship between a White and Black Fatalis? Is it a seperate species/subspecies, a mutation, or is it something as simple as a stage in a Fatalis' life cycle? What's the deal with Crimson Fatalis? And how exactly does Dire Miralis fit into all of this? The lore describes it as Fatalis' "incarnation", but what does that mean exactly? The more we learn about Fatalis and it's family, the more questions it raises.

...Holy shit. This was terrifying to watch. And I love it! It also feels like a perfect segue to a boss battle, or the ending to the episode of a series with the following episode addressing the appearance of Fatalis.

the part that gets me about this animation, not just the fact that its so well done, is Ojo's movements. granted, we can actually see her face compared to the other two, but my point still stands; given the fact that Ojo is in a completely different style than the rest of the cast in this, the subtle fear that we see, especially in the way she backs up, adds onto the terror that Fatalis brings. fantastic work!

This gives me a horrifying Revelation. It's a Cycle. The Hunters of a Fleet Defeat Fatalis, one of them (probably the Ace) decides to make a whole gear set out of it, then after a while the gear regenerates back to Fatalis and catches the Hunters of that Fleet off guard and wipes them all out. Thus the cycle begins anew with nobody none the wiser cause nobody knows that making Fatalis Gear eventually births another Fatalis.

2 words "hauntingly beautiful". I cant stop watching it..

I swear to god I hope this brings more attention to Centaur World and Monster Hunter alike. As a fan of both, thank you for making this!

Those subtle motions going in the pace of the music (tail getting growth spurts, eye checking each hunter one by one and all the others) makes this so satisfying to watch in between all the feelings of terror.

This is why you would never catch me in fatalis armour

Its funny. What makes this pretty disturbing is how...not sure how to describe this...I guess simple it is? Usually with regen like this you would see bone, muscle, tendons and skin forming with regeneration but here. He just reconstitutes himself like he was made out of clay or is reversing the damage. The way its done makes it really creepy.

the song is terrifyingly fitting

Hunter: Why won't you die? Fatalis: Lore power son

the in between phases when body parts aren't exactly fully formed yet were some some of the worst and most disturbing things I've ever looked at it's so good

The Nowhere King lullaby is a good fit for Fatalis considering he's like the king of a world that no longer exists.

This actually gave me chills for a sec, well done! I a part of me thought that the lore sounded while cool, a little goofy, but now that this is the image I have in my head for it, it doesn't sound as goofy anymore and I LOVE IT!

Fatalis: "This isn't even my final form!" Also Fatalis:

Oh damn. The description and the concept and idea of Fatalis regenerating was interesting, but this animation really elevated it to levels beyond what it could be! The Nowhere King music is also a great choice and making it like The Nowhere King's debut in the show is fantastic. Great first video of the year.

"The only place you can go now, Is Nowhere".

It's straight up terrifying if fatalis actually does that in-game, just imagine you crafting it's weapons (or worse armor and wear them) only for it to turn into a fatalis... on a hunter civilization (or worse... dundorma) On the other hand... my other self say. Unlimited materials. (I swear, if Fatalis is persistent.. And so AMI I! I'll take those Fatalis Eyes and Horns until I am swimming with amount of them!)

this wouldve been 10 times scarier if they saw a fellow hunter scream and shout in pain as their fatalis armor begins to envelope around them, crushing their bodies before the true transformation begins.

The head stuff was some Monsterverse King Ghidorah bullshit and i FREAKING LOVE IT!

Uh mom… I forgot to keep my Fatalis weapon in check..

Nowhere king from centaurworld. Very fitting ominous lullaby.

Pokke Village has a giant Fatalis greatsword in a ice cave inside the farm. Besides the ice slowing down the regeneration, you also mine pieces of it off the sword.

I'm just gonna say what we're probably all thinking..... *THIS* needs to be a black fatalis intro! Let the new generation of monster hunter players have the fear of god pierce them as they watch in sheer terror and disgust as what is quite literally the living embodiment of death and destruction in the world of monster hunter resurrects itself from a single piece of its recently deceased body

I like to think this is what happens to a hunter that doesn’t return from a hunt and beginning to become Fatalis like in the lore and the armour sets lore

I wanna say that this is the most beautiful thing ive seen so far this year. Your channel is what keeps my love for Monster Hunter alive in between times where there's no new updates to the games. Seeing how far you've come as an animator is also motivating in it's own right! Keep up the amazing work!

you get the sword, all seems well. you venture out on a resource gathering trip, when you come across an odd scene: each encampment is void of living things, and the wildlife are seemingly backed off. you find a few signs of a scrap; some jagras corpses make it clear they've been hunted, but the rustle from your tent stops you Its another person! But, the more you look at him, the more things seem off. he's tense, and staring you down like some kind of monster...

This is now my headcanon for what Fatalis regenerating actually looks like. I especially liked how you made his head reform. Never watched CentaurWorld, but the theme of the Nowhere King is definitely a great fit for the King of Dragons.

I like that Ghidorah inspiration with the head regeneration

Jesus H Christ, this is legitimately terrifying to witness. Now do one for Dalamadur.

This so freaking cool I reckon it would have been horrific if you went the armour rout instead of the weapon

the worst part is that this was merely one of the weapons now imagine this, but the hunter wearing his armor

I just watched the embodiment of the end of humanity regrow itself from the blade of a sword we made out of it. This is the most terrifying monster to ever exist.

Fatalis' concept is so interesting that I kinda wish it would get used more. Theres always the trope of "weapons made from the material of a powerful beast". But then you mix that premise with the premise of "immortal self regenerating creature" and suddenly you have a cursed weapon that doesnt event need to be magic. How badass would it be for some evil big bad from previously in the series that was only ever defeated by luck and teamwork, to just suddenly revive outa nowhere at a climactic point in the story when people are in no shape to recreate the circumstance that managed to befell it previously.

Regenerating Fatalis doesn't exist, it can't hurt you. Common Shark:

this really does instill a sort of nostalgic fear and dread within me that i haven't felt in an otherwise normal fandom since the days of creepypasta. i really love this

He did the Kevin regeneration scene for the head in Godzilla: king of the monsters 2019

i wish we could fight a fatalis mid-way regen, or close to its final form, kind of like stopping a fatalis to fully form itself, making it an eldritch-like fighting scene

for some reason i can just see this happening as a cutscene for the first encounter of it in the pokke farm cave

Lo normal te haces una espada de fatalis. Y al día siguiente tienes un fatalis en tu casa

This is legitimately terrifying to witness, I can’t fathom how a creature like fatalis exists in this games nature, let Alone why it lives like this… With all that said, nice work!

Fatalis: finishes regenerating the handler wondering what Fatalis tastes like: *loads slinger with delicious intent* if Fatalis regenerates all lost and damaged tissue does that make it an infinite food source?

This video is absolutely popping off with views, as it should, it's epic.

….This is, disturbingly accurate.. it maybe one of your most well made animations dude!

I can't stop rewatching this. I've always loved to imagine what a Fatalis birth or full regeneration looks like, and by god this is it. Fantastic work.

“When the world is full of wyverns, the legend is revived. Meat is eaten, bone is crunched, and blood is sucked up dry Fatalis. He burns the earth and melts through iron. He boils the rivers and mows down trees. He awakens the winds and lights an inferno. He is called Fatalis, the wyvern of destiny. He is called Fatalis, the Wyvern of Destruction.” - The Legend of Fatalis🐉
