Lao Shan-Lung, Disaster Walker | Monster Hunter Ecology 

[Sources and Notes in this comment] TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Intro 01:20 - Overview 05:30 - Lao 16:07 - Outro SOURCES: Hunter’s Encyclopedia G pg.68, 109 tinyurl.com/LaoShan NOTES - All taxonomic names are made up by me. You can find my semi-canon phylogeny here: tinyurl.com/OceanPhylo - The LDPI obviously doesnt exist under that name in-universe. But the Guild is mentioned to be taking precautions against the Dragon. - It is unclear if you would actually be able to see the strata in a Lao's shell, but based on what we know about it, I figured that is a pretty safe assumption.

If wilds are an open world, I would love to see siege monsters walking around even if we can't hunt them.

"And all without a shred of malice" That's Lao in a nutshell. It's just going on its merry way, unconcerned with or even unaware of the destruction it causes. Perhaps if a person could truly communicate with Old Mountain Dragons, they could convince them to take more care in where they step, and thus remove the need for conflict with them.

Fatalis: **exists** Lao Shan-Lung: understandable, have a great day.

I was hoping for a Rise Lao with the new turret mechanics. Rampage feels purpose made for something like this.

Colossal monsters are nothing but awe-inspiring. Truly monuments of nature in the Monster Hunter world. And Lao Shan-Lung deserves to be treated as such.

Really hope that we get a Lao 16 person Siege bigboi needs a glow up and the Mohrans too!

I hope we get more large boi elders. Not monsters but just large animals who are unbothered by our existence.

I've watched this a few times now, and that intro is just *chef's kiss* No words, just the sound of something almost too large to understand slowly walking, not even towards you, just moving unbothered by anything, because nothing can bother it

Biggest wishlist for Wilds for me is either Lao or Dalamadur returning the graphics and fight would be insane.

The way you described Lao Shan-Lung's arrival by people feeling it's footsteps, reminded me of the T-Rex intro scene from Jurassic park, only up to eleven.

One story ends. Another begins. See you in season 2, boss. 🫡

Now that you've done Lao Shan-Lung and all of its glory, I can't wait for the Shen Gaoren, Dalamadur, Jhen Mohran, and Laviente the humongous monsters, and all of their glory!!!

I just got back from watching Godzilla Minus One in the cinema, it was amazing. Now I get watch a video about the Old Mountain Dragon too. ❤

I haven't played this specific game that Lao is in, but all the descriptions I've heard make the creature sound like it's the size of Godzilla. The stories just make my imagination go crazy

I absolutely LOVE this series! And I can’t wait for season 2!

Oh man, it's the big one!Literally! Lao Shan is what cemented Monster Hunter as something special in my heart. It's great to see it finally getting some love!

If you play Monster Hunter 2/DOS you can find a Lao's skull inside the mine of Jumbo village with a sword imbedded in it. And there's also the Kokoto village chief that fought Lao twice and one of those times was a solo mission.

It's fair to say that Lao Shan lung could grow much bigger than the one we fight. The skull on Shen Gaoren's back is HUGE

I've got a new appreciation for ol' Lao now, thanks to this great video. It'll be a good day when season 2 is released; I just hope that I'm not imagining the foreshadowing of the Magalas.

Lao is basically Aptonoth but Elder Dragon.

I get a big smile whenever you say OAK WOOD TREE at the end 😂

There is no better way to end this series's season 1 by the OG siege big monster, Grandpa Lao!! Seeing this monster first time in Freedom Unite fills me of excitement, worry of how to fight it and dread. Its really fun to see the same reaction from my friends when we played MHGU later on. See you in season 2 Oceaniz!!!

One day we may be able to finally cut its tail with the Centenarian Dagger...

when watching the last video i was gonna ask you to do this one, then i finished and i saw you were gonna do this, i'm so happy you did it i find lao-shan lung very interesting

Your work is incredible. Congratulations on completing a great season and thank you for making such wonderful videos!

Excellent timing, I just got up to G2 in GU, so my first proper encounter with good ole Lao is nebulously soon. Big fellas have always been a soft spot for me personally, yeah they’re a massive departure from normal gameplay, take an eternity to complete, all that jazz, but there’s something so inherently cool about fighting something that large, something that simply couldn’t care less about you otherwise, and proceeding to give it a reason.

Truly and amazing series. Being fairly new to monster hunter, this is some of the coolest monster hunter lore I've seen. I'm rarely excited to see a lot of the in-depth lore as much as I am for these. The effort and detail that both, you put into these videos, and the devs put into the monsters and the world is amazing. I'm loving learning these little details, and for a few of these creatures, I'm loving the fact that I can notice them in Monster Hunter World. Thank you, for making the little gamer-lore part of my brain very happy!

Given how this is the final episode of the 1st season, I'm curious as to why you didn't cover the isolated case of one particular Lao-Shan Lung fleeing from Fatalis.

And here we go the finale to season 1 with the big guy himself. Can’t wait for next season

This series is really cool. Can’t wait to see more!

Ah, another good video, thanks Oceaniz. MerryChristmas

Love your content man! You always make my day! This series is fantástic ! Happy holidays! 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤

This big guy needs to return to Wilds, alongside other siege monsters.

The unredacted extension of this episode might show us why a certain Lao Shen Lung was on the move. This individual in the Schrade region had decided to abandon its territory following a heated confrontation between a hunter's natural predator and a crafty golden mantis that was attracted to the treasures of the fallen kingdom.

"it only move forward, and buries entire civilizations in its wake" bro is eren jeager

I can't wait for season 2, I bet if you talked about Lao eventually there will be a video about Shen Gaoren. And the wait is going to be absolutely worth it.

Such an amazing series can't wait to see season 2

This was great!

Your videos give me purpose in life, thank you.

Nice Video, Would love one about Dalamadur.

I hope siege monsters can show up in the environment and maybe even have turf wars, if wilds is open world

Barely got here within the first hour, but I’m really excited to watch

NEW UPLOAD WOOOOOO

These are so fantastic to listen to

Fantastic video as always!! :) 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 ❤️💖❤️💖

Super excited for season two

Love this series

Perhaps?? you better make a season 2. I love this series

I wonder if someone could parachute onto the back of a Lao, and just hang on for the ride, for science of course!

Christmas came early this year! Wooo!

Hope Lao Shan comes back in Wilds

Looking forward to season 2 of this!

babe wake up new oceaniz video is up 🗣️🗣️🗣️‼️‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥

the last patron's name is so fitting with the outro, and to end the series as well! 😂

8:18 Whereas Zorah Magdaros' Shell is instead rock that it has molten onto itself via the use of its Magmacores, or perhaps a rocky substance excreted from its magmacores after being melted within its body somehwere. Further research must be done, and I urge The 5th Fleet to recover the corpse of the Zorah Magdaros it tracked for an in-depth study, however, I understand it may be simply too large, and for now, leaving Elder Dragons as simply a mystery is perfectly acceptable, given how mysterious they and their abilities typically are. Still, I cannot help but wonder how Zorah Magdaros' Shell differs from its relative.

I love Lao so much man. His theme lore and sheer size. And hes kinda cute. Was not ready for his rank up quest in GU 😂

"Disaster Walker" is a pretty apt title considering that's ALL IT FUCKING DOES.

Lao Shan battles in a nutshell: mosquito trying to bite you, even though you dont notice it

A season 2 would be really appreciated

3:48 man i thought that was perfect chaos from sonic adventure for a minute

Lao is so mejestic and massive. I'm honestly surprised we never saw a variant invade Kamura, as it has defenses suiitable for such an event due to the proclivity of the rampage.

saw a theory not long ago saying that if the maps are truly colossal then maybe we could see giant monster freely roaming without restrain in their special arena but instead living and interacting with the world

I loved every single vid in this series, and I'm hoping, nay, praying that Season 2 will come to pass! What monsters will be appearing next? The spiders like the Nycerla and Rakna-Kadaki? Aquatic creatures like the Lagiacrus, Gobul, and Ceameus? Maybe an updated look for older monsters like Odogaron and Rajang? Whichever it is, I'll be honing my skills until the next series comes! ⚔ 🦖🐗🐉

*ONE OF THE UNDERRATED BIG BOIS FINALLY GETS HIS ECOLOGY WORKING BOIS!*

The Lao moves because it was born in this world. It keep moving forward until all it's enemies are destroyed.

I cant wait for the Nakarkos episode

I lOVE OCEANIZ‼️‼️

While this wouldn't be fitting for the monster hunter series, if we ever get a more "open world survival crafting" type hunting game, I would absolutely love to have to find a migration route, spend hours building up fortifications and siege equipment, and a prolonged struggle just to take down a creature like this down.

I think it's said in-canon that it is actively running away from Fatalis, the only creature it truly fears

Oceaniz posts, I arrive

I think a big turtle monster with a ecosystem on its back would be awsome

Damn, what a finale This series of docus was so good, I loved just laying back and relaxing while listening to it every two weeks Here's hoping for a season 2 !

Dang, we really need the return of colossal monster. I remember having fun hunting him together with my friend on Freedom Unite. All the colossal monster is fun with friend, kinda clunky hunting it solo. Some idea that i can think of making colossal monster hunt even better is first, combining it with tweaked Rampage mechanic, in this case give us the ability of summoning turret mount by NPC and special NPC, and in the end is the Dragonator and Wyvernshot. It can make the battle much more dynamic i think, working together with other hunter on the village/base to stop the giant monster. The second is maybe doing something like Siege from World/Iceborne, but instead of 16 hunter on 4 team on their separate screen, it's 16 hunter on 4 team on the same screen, or if it risk the game lagging, either reducing the foliage on the map, making it more simple or maybe reducing it to 8 hunter on 2 team on the same screen. I'm sure it will be fun hunting with other team, especially if you play with your friend, where you have some mission to play with more than 4 people, while the usual hunt you need to cycle? your friend because of the 4 hunter limit

i would love if you talked about the monster riders and their relationship with the rest of the world

If they do plan to make a remastered version of gen 1 Monster Hunter in 2024, I'd surely would like to try it. Otherwise, we'd be wondering forever if such Elder Dragons will be more understood in the futures.

I would love to see ashen Lao come back his longsword looks vary nice and I like to fight Lao it’s a fun fight to me

Ah the chunky boi, if only his battle wasn't so dull

hoping Wilds brings back this boy, perhaps being able to meet it move through the map

Hey Oceaniz ,are you ever planning making a video about The first monster Hunter,as in the first person that started hunting monsters (if there is even any information about it)

In Wilds there needs to be a Lead researcher named Oceaniz

Love the video, but I really think "Disaster Walking" would be a much better name than "Disaster Walker." I hope you continue this series!!

Have you ever make a video about Equal Dragon Weapon?

I would like to see a season 2, but don't push yourself too hard.

12:37 is the story referencing the hero of kokoto?

...Y'know, thinking about it, it'd actually be ultra-simple to research a Lao. Just... Follow it. I'm certain there will be obstacles that must be avoided, but through the use of balloons, supply drops, and so on... You'd be able to pretty easily research the creature.

just curious but are you going to make a season 2 or not just a question.

makes me curious as weather if it's possible for a whole village to live with lao shan, as in, wher it moves thry move as well but remains out of its way

My little theory the first hunter who defeat a lao shun lung is maybe the hunter in monster hunter freedom unite...???

Great Video but no mention of its fear of Fatalis?

God I love this channel 🥵

its a shame the only traditional-esque colossal monster siege we got in fifth gen was zorah. Couldve had so much potential

Tho mechanical it do have dragon element but not in a way that inflicts the blight but in its damage values and enough to but it in the weapons

Plss do a video all aboute dalamadur

bro how do you stop the game to record?

That thud actually leaves me in dread for some reason. Is it just me?😅

There was no speech in the intro, just Lao's footsteps... Was that intentional?

If you believe in yourself and with a tiny pinch of magic, all your dreams can come true

Barely got her within the first hour, but I’m really excited to watch

So season 2 is MH dos?!
