Monster Hunter Rise | 5 FACTS About the Great Izuchi - MH Lore and Ecology 

Honestly he's one of my new favorite monsters. He practiced his dance moves the bois.

I always try to capture Great Izuchi because I feel bad killing it. He’s just trying to look out for his family!

so I guess every Great Izuchi we kill as hunters is a tragic story to tell on their side

This monster quickly became my favorite raptorial bird wyvern of the entire series

Great izuchi already become my favourite beignner using smaller izuchi fight along side him properly then all of raptor like bird wyvern in every mh and he know how make an entrance in cutscene

Great izuchi is the best alpha bird wyvern because good leader take care it own two izuchi

This was wonderful! I had no idea the Great Izuchi and the pack had so much character! I love the bond they share

Katamaitachi. Sickle Weasels. They come in pairs of 3's, generally siblings. The first rides the wind to disorient their target, the second uses it's claws, the third cleans or heals the wound. They are Yokai created to help define cutting wind. In lore they generally try not to hurt people, but there are always crazed examples.

Yknow, raptor bird wyverns are always the weakness (metaphorically and literally) of new monsters but Izuchi are definitely a step up. Still probably the worst new addition of the new monsters, but that says more about the new monsters being awesome than anything. Goss Harag is best.

The grooming is so cute

The most common trait of the pack leaders is that they tend to be the alpha male of the pack with the smaller members being either females or beta males. This is the case with Great Jaggi, Royal Ludroth, Great Wroggi, and possibly Great Jagras among others. Great Izuchi has several similarities with the Kamaitachi (translated as "sickle weasel"). Kamaitachi have long, sharp claws, travel in packs of three, and move with the wind to slice up prey before they can even react. One theory is that small, sharpened rocks carried by strong gusts of wind were responsible for people receiving cuts when no blade could be seen, especially those with dry skin. One of Great Izuchi's moves has it vomit out a mass of saliva and hair clumps that resemble stones, possibly alluding to the debunking theory. Hunting tip: you don't get Great Izuchi Tails from carving, but you can get them from captures. Break the tail and capture it for the best chance at getting those tails.

Great Izuchi is my favorite Raptor Bird Wyvern. He really fight as a coordinated pack, instead of just swarm you with number.

So this bird wyvern is a very good general indeed did i look like the great susi

A turf war of Great Izuchi vs Great Jagras would be nice.

1:52 *and this is why we need to be able to tame monsters*

He and Great Maccao are the best raptors

I would like to see all unique monster ecology animations, tetranodon bathing, ludroth on the waterfall, magnamalo cleaning his blades, tobi Kodakchi drinking from the wall dripping water, rathian drinking water, izuchi with his pack, do you know another unique ecology animations?

a yes, Kama itachi, Good lumberjack from Nioh :p

If the great Izuchi works like say, the great Jaggi there is a chance that he's a large male with a harem. The two Izuchis following him might just be his strongest youngs

My headcanon for the great izuchi is that the two izuchi following him are his preferred females,while the other izuchis are just male and female izuchis living in the area. This kind of behavior can often be seen in many animals who live in harems like chickens, geese and gorillas.

@ChronoPinoyX I found out from MilkySlim that it’s based off of the Kamaitachi from Japanese myth which Sneasel, Weavile, And Sneasler are also based off of and they use Icy Wind instead of Razor Wind which sucks, The Great Izuchi is also based off of the Kuchisake-Onna because of its mouth. He also told a creepy story about her and there was an urban legend about the Kuchisake-onna from the Edo period, To the 1970s.

Omg i feel so bad for killing her now :( I just saw how these 3 played with eachother and its soo cute

Me: looking Me: Sub :D

This is a super cool and interesting series I like monster biology

I didnt get to play MH Rise yet and didnt catch all the Yokai references in the new monsters. I love it!

This is cool, most of them were great but I think that 4 was a bit off as item descriptions should be taken with a grain of salt as some times they can simply not make any sense if taken litterely, especially in rise where most of the monsters are based off of myths, though I dont think all item descriptions should be ignore I just think that they shouldn't be interpreted as word for word, as great izuchi's tail could simply be so sharp that people think its sharpened by the very air itself but in reality its just that sharp, though I am heavily critical of item descriptions and how Canon some of the more outstanding ones are i think that some can help make for great theories about the monsters especially in rise with the apex monsters as we don't quite know how they come to be and all we have is the monsters behavior, the unique item descriptions and the hunter notes about what makes them different from there non apex variants

He replaced both odogaron and great jaggi

pls do more like tetranadon

Lol that tongue. This was the first monster I farmed. His gear is great

Now i feel bad for crown farming him...
