White Fatalis weapon descriptions.

>Ultimus Apocalypse: A most evil Weapon. it has passed through many hands via a chain of dark death.

>>383556820
Will World reboot the universe? Have they mentioned anything about story?

Where does Kut-Ku fit in the MH lore? What's his importance?

Well Fatalis is the only monster that can control you with the "Evil Energies of Darkness"

It is also the only monster that creates an eclipse just so it can teleport at your position and kick your ass.

There are a -ton- of Kut-Ku subspecies, but i did manage to find this regarding them.

>A bird wyvern with a huge beak and large ears that splay open when it is angered. With its sensitive hearing it dislikes loud noises. It is smaller but faster than other wyverns.
>Habitat Range: The known Old World habitats of the Yian Kut-Ku consists of the Jungle, Forest and Hills, Swamp, Tide Island, Everwood, Hermit Forest, Jurassic Frontier and Old Volcano (albeit rarely). The creatures favour these areas for their warm climates and abundance of food. Kut-Ku can also rarely be found in the Old Volcano in order to possibly eat coal and other ingreidients to supply their flame sac with.
>Ecological Niche: Yian Kut-Ku are omnivorous creatures that eat a wide variety of different things. Kut-Ku will eat lots of insects, such as Konchu, nuts and honey. While they are fully capable of defending themselves against smaller predators such as Velocidrome and their packs Kut-Ku are often preyed upon by larger predators like Rathian, Abiorugu, Najarala and Pariapuria. Kut-Ku are well known for getting into territorial conflicts with the extremely agressive Yian Garuga. Sometimes a Garuga will take over a Kut-Ku's territory and even kill the smaller bird wyvern. Female Yian Garuga will also destroy the eggs of a Kut-Ku and lay their own eggs in the nest, leaving the Kut-Ku as a victim of brood parasitism.

This isn't Fatalis related, being a Gore Magala weapon, but I felt it relevant.

>Verhängnisstolz: A jet black, evil blade made during the Magala eclipse. Inflicts deathly banishment.

Anyone have that humorous "Monster Hunter and Lost Planet take place in the same universe" theory saved?

MH lore is actual fucking garbage.

>>383559346

I never got that "is actually a god" shit. The armor descriptions are so fucking vague and deviant art ish that I never even took them seriously either. The game doesn't really HAVE any lore besides the odd vague tidbit.

>>383559346
>"oh shit this regular animal with mystic powers elder dragon is actually LITERALLY A GOD"
When the fuck has this ever happened? The closest to this description the games ever got were monsters that were mentioned in old stories and a few worshipped 'as gods'.

>>383559346
The view that certain animals are deities is not new, especially in Japanese Mythology. Being a god does not make you unkillable, just an existence removed from the norm. That said, MH lore is pretty bad.

Shah Dalamadur weapons basically explain how Dalamadur actually shaped the world in 14 days.

Who's the strongest Elder Dragon? Dalamadur? White Fatty? Raviente? Dire Miralis?

Hunters in the MH world are actually complete and utter superhumans though. Comparing them to regular warriors is not really advisable. anyway, here's another Magala weapon.

>L'Éclat: A blade like a prism that transforms sunlight into a mesmerizing spell.

The guild is so fucking incompetent, it took them their whole roster of hunters to try and contain Akantor in the volcanic belt long enough for you to take it down

Why are they in charge again?

>>383559869
lore wise is White Fatty but realistically Dalamadur can eat everyone in one bite.

Do you think MH Worlds will have Fatalis and explore the lore of it?

it's sort of a toss up between Disufiroa and White Fatalis at them moment. Though they might not be quite as close thanks to Frontier-Z bringing in a g-Rank Fatalis variant. Dalamadur might be stronger though, since it's "Shattered omens' are literally fragments of stars that it calls down.

>Disufiroa are capable of controlling fire and ice at the same time. The combination of these two elements creates the powerful Frozen Seraphim Element. The dragons are able to use ice by utilizing their horn to control cold air and heated fire produced by their bodies and as a result the ice and fire attacks are constantly conflicting with each other. Disufiroa scales are unique due to the fact that the red scales are scorching hot, while the white scales are ice cold to the touch. They must maintain control of a balance of Ice and Fire or they will die from being unstable as most commonly seen is death by loss of ice control. However, some Disufiora have found ways to free themselves from this ice when near death.

The ancient MH humans fucked dragons and thus wyverians were born.

The cats don't have any kind of evolution or anything they are just fucking cats since the beginning of time.

It's literally the only explanation for why they are capable of doing the things they do. Several of the weapons they wield would kill them under normal circumstances, either from being too heavy to wield, or just by virtue of being sheer magical bullshit.

>Dreaming Dalmadur: With the first daybreak, Shah Dalamadur defined the earth by drawing the horizon.

We are honestly not sure. There are hints hat there is more to the elder Dragons and the weapons than they seem, what with stuff like Fatalis emerging from a black-hole created by an eclipse, and Dalamadur calling down shattered star fragments, but nothing is known for sure. that's one of the things I like about MH and it's lore, it doesn't truly reveal anything to you.

Originally starts with Black Fatalis look, but can upgrade into the White style you see there.
Same with most of the other 1st/2nd gen Fatalis weapons.

People know that you never get all the parts of a monster you kill as quest rewards right? You only get what you can carve off yourself.
When the Guild allows you to accept a quest, they gain ownership over anything you kill or capture. After being called in to retrieve a kill or capture, they receive their payment from the client by offering them the whole/parts of the monster they requested. If the quest was solely an extermination job, the guild uses the monster's parts to reward hunters who have no chance to gain personal carves, like through capture quests. Any extra rewards a hunter receives are usually bonuses for severing them in the first place, like breaking high-demand parts.

Here'so some stuff about Guanzorumu.

>Guanzorumu has large wing membranes that spread down to its tail. These giant wings allow Guanzorumu to fly efficiently in the air and even send gust of wind at nearby enemies. The fins on its tail can cut through just about anything in a single slice. Much like Alatreon, Guanzorumu has scales that protect it from most attacks. Under the scales is thermal insulating skin, which absorbs most powerful blows. Despite these adaptions, Guanzorumu has two unique abilities: its high-pitched roars and forms. Unlike most other species of Elder Dragons, Guanzorumu has high-pitched roars used to control the Egyurasu within the fortress to do whatever it wants. These commands mostly consist of the Egyurasu breathing fire, forming large spheres of wind around it, or even dropping hunters down to their death. The roars can even push nearby objects back with their immense force. Guanzorumu's roars are considered to be louder than even Laviente's roars. The commands made can greatly help Guanzorumu in battle. The forms of Guanzorumu are where it truly exceeds with its power. It only has two forms, both of which different from the other. In its first form Guanzorumu uses the Fire Element and works together with the Egyurasu, while in its second form Guanzorumu uses the Dragon Element and only uses its own destructive power to fight with no help. Both forms can be indicated a number of ways but, the easiest way to tell is by looking at the weather or seeing if Guanzorumu's appearance has changed.
>In some rare cases, extremely powerful Guanzorumu individuals have been reported with golden scales and fire engulfing certain parts of their body. These individuals have been called Ruling Guanzorumu.

>>383562539
Nah, it''s more like the old dragons with which they coexisted fancied themselves the keepers of the world and found humans 'in breach' of the 'natural contract'. In short, they began to hate humans who they saw as violating the natural order. And they would have been right, because humans exploited nature and generally perverted it to their own ends. Like tampering with their genetics to create literal ubermensch warriors who would become the first dragon slayers from which most or all hunters can claim lineage, or building a literal tower from the bones and bodies of countless slain dragons. This lead to the Great Dragon War which resulted in the world that exists today.
