Have you ever wondered about the biology of monsters in Monster Hunter: World? A nature documentary style deep dive into an ecosystem of giants… (Part II: • The Biology of Monster... )

Curious Archive Social Media:

The vast environments of the video game ‘Monster Hunter: World’ are home to incredible forms of life - from thundering behemoths to ravenous hunters. While the game focuses on battling monsters, every creature on this continent has a life of their own, with unique day-to-day patterns, biological intricacies, and roles within the larger ecosystems.
For this entry into the Archive, we’ll show the life of this continent in entirely new ways, and bring you closer to these creatures than ever before. This series will reveal the biology behind these so-called monsters, and investigate how they compare to wildlife on our planet. And although doing fieldwork in this region represents a significant risk, I’m determined to document these extreme lifeforms firsthand.
So, let’s embark on this expedition together, and discover what awaits in this land of giants…

@thereptile9467 2 года назад

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 2 года назад

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 2 года назад

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.

@srlopez875 2 года назад

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. You could guess why.

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 2 года назад

@@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 2 года назад

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.

@kennethsatria6607 2 года назад

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.

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.

This was such a treat to watch, it was both informative and entertaining. Being able to better understand how the MH creatures function as actual animals in an ecosystem just makes me realise how amazing the games are to play.

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

@giantsalsa3977 2 года назад

Please do all the regions, this would be the best documentary series ever.

@xXEnderChuXx 2 года назад

yo sick video, hoping you make some more on monster hunter world!!! as a monster hunter fan, im glad you did this game's ecosystem justice. The devs do a great job fleshing out the biospheres and making them feel realistic, despite them... being giant monsters lol.

One thing I love about monster hunter is how monsters fight each other instead of going straight for you. It's something a lot of games miss but when it is done it adds so much more depth to its ecosystem.

whenever you post a new video I get excited, but this seriously made my day. I love monster hunter ecology so much and I'm so excited to see that you will be covering it! It's incredibly fascinating to see how these animals interact and how they've adapted to their environments and competitors...

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.

@MewMonster58 2 года назад

This is part the reason why this game remains in the top 5 of my favorite games of all time. Each area genuinely feels alive as you play through it. I love that.

@purplehaze2358 2 года назад

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.

@ArclinusCastoral 2 года назад

Brilliant. This is the kind of fluff MH needs more of. It's so much more engaging from the perspective as a viewer and a hunter.

*THIS IS THE MOST EXCITED I'VE EVER BEEN FOR A VIDEO* sorry, question will you cover all the maps from the wildspire to the recess and will you include iceborne?

@lemyon8293 2 года назад

@mercury9381 2 года назад

I've been waiting for this ever since I first saw your channel, so glad you finally got to it. Can't wait to see more!!!

@dalekrenegade2596 2 года назад

Nice video, keep em coming. I would also to make a shout-out to the "Unnatural History" channel on RU-vid where he makes in depth videos of individual monsters as if they were real wildlife. He also fantastic videos on "The World of Kong Book" and Primal with same setup.

@Jack-ff3mp 2 года назад

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

@iamgroot3403 2 года назад

You actually are the best! I've been playing Monster Hunter World for the past two years and found your channel approximately 6 months ago. Your videos have been hugely entertaining already but this is the cherry on top, amazing job, really!

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.
