I would've believed this if the elder dragons weren't walking calamities that bring nothing but death and ruin to any flora and fauna in sight.

Just look at those descriptions of the monsters and their effect on the habitat, it's fucking wild, the amount of environmental damage they cause by SIMPLY EXISTING.

Congalala, Tetsucabra, Diablos, Rajang, Queen Seltas, Zinogre and those fish like ones from MH3.

So their plan to match an elder dragon was just to stitch together a bunch of smaller dragons?

I feel like this is stupid but then again, every weapon you wield is made of smaller dragon pieces. There's a crazy logic to it, but its logic.

Most of the lore is contained in item, weapon/armor and monster descriptions. it is usually very difficult to find anything about the lore outside of that, and maybe some environmental hints. Surprisingly enough, Frontier manages to combine both crazy bullet-hell monster battles as well as the lore of the games, something that the mainline games seem utterly incapable of.

Leila is a serious individual that talks in a low tone. When angered greatly, she is known to sometimes go on a rampage and not willing to listen to anyone, even the Hunter's Guild.
At a very young age, she lived in a village within the Bamboo Forest with her sister, the Diva. In this place, her people had lived in peace with the bamboo-controlling Elder Dragon, Inagami, for thousands of years. Due to her village taking advantage of the Inagami's strange power in attempt to grow their crops during a bad harvest season, Inagami destroyed their whole village out of outrage. This destruction led to her family becoming travelers across many lands. Sometime much later, Leila mastered using the Tonfa and had gotten herself a boyfriend. Within this time, she had amnesia from an unknown cause and had forgotten some things about her past like her sister. However, her love was killed by a Meraginasu, which put her in an untiring rampage until calmed down by her sister and friends, along with an unnamed hunter. She has killed some rare species in her time hunting, like Garuba Daora, in such rampages. Though she remembers that the Diva is her sister, Leila can be at odds with her at times

the story behind Atoraru Ka is entirely different. The mechanical monster you see is not living, it is a nest built from stolen artillery by the Atoraru Ka females. An army challenged an Atoraru Ka while it was in it's nest but were not able to stop it and only caught a glimpse of the Mantis itself which was thought to be a treasure because of the gold shine. Hence the official name of the mech being Atoraru-Ka's nest

Ceadeus did nothing wrong.

Aren't hunters the descendants of humans that had their DNA spliced with monster DNA, and were supposed to be the weapon used against the massive amount of monsters that they accidentally let loose on the planet?

Not the smartest idea but hey, now there's sort of a last line of defense going on. Literally only thing standing between a village and total destruction is usually a hunter.

>The overall body shape of Dire Miralis is very similar to the stance of Fatalis. However, unlike Fatalis, this monster lacks the ability to fly, though it has wings. The wings of Dire Miralis have formed into specialized plates that releases magma, ejecting it into the atmosphere. This allows for Dire Miralis to summon meteors from the sky, raining down on all foes around it. Due to the hot fluids inside of Dire Miralis, an intense heat is known to come from its body, boiling any sources of water around it. This intense heat can easily wipe out all living creatures within Dire Miralis's range.

If the Hunters were not augmented to some degree, they would literally boil to death being even slightly near this thing

>>383751606
Listen, officially it's just supposed to be buildings and junk but it has articulated mechanical joints so either the monster has complete engineering intelligence (very possible with how smart the dragons are supposed to be) or it is using a premade harness for something big and dragon shaped that it dragged out of its treasure horde.

>>383757825
Gogmazios live in the world naturally, they are just rarely seen because they live in harsh swamplands and hibernate for long periods of time. The Gogmazios in 4U is special because it got a taste for gunpowder and has the first dragonator on it's back which was a complete accident during one of it's raids

>gogmazios is related to the magalas
gog is a giant elder dragon that came from the old swamp and eats gunpowder, converting it to fuel(petroleum). there is no reason why a normal creature would evolve to spew fucking oil, and gogmazios is more grounded in reality than fatalis/teostra so theres no way its a magical dragon. so its probably some sort of dragon weapon that survived to modern times, as its ability to eat gunpowder robs its enemies of ammunition and supplies its (masters?) with fuel, which is perfect for warfare.

2nd gen has them losing stamina while climbng
3d gen has them holding their breath underwater for extensive periods of time
and 4th gen has them climbing without losing staminaand twice as fast

>monster hunter has ALWAYS been like this
>posts picture of MH4 weapon

No one said MH used to be hyper realistic you buzzword spouting sperg. It has always been exaggerated and oversized, but the monster design never had anything to do with steel monsters with dozens of razor sharp blades protruding from its body or pitch black subspecies with glowing evil red eyes and whatnot.

MH has always been about oversized weapons with oversized dinos, not Pizza Cutter tier weapons against a teenager's ideal of a cool monster.

How can hunters survive falling hundreds of feet and the worst that can happen to them is they drop anything heavy they might be carrying?

>>383758750
The games take place not too far in the future of the last game. MHG shows this, with past characters showing up.

>>383758152

ledges and uneven terrain
apex and relic hunting
some monsters locked to guild quests, which you randomly acquire during expeditions, then you have to grind the gq level up to the necessary rank. And its level can only increase, so you can push a HR gq to GR and be unable to use it again until you hit GR
Also wind pressure hits harder and monsters become overall smarter
But really, ledges fuck blademasters a lot, and uneven terrain is a goddamn pain for gunners
But some insist on saying none of these are an issue, so whatever

the monster hunter universe is like the mgs universe. Mostly everything is grounded in reality, but some things are off like the greatswords and the falling damage. But some things are just magical and you learn to suspend your disbelief. For example, Teostra can just magically control fire, just like Volgin can magically become electrical for no reason.

The nipple is godawful and you simply cant reliably aim up and down even if you have chinese-sized hands. You can roundabout that with the touch camera, but it's stupidly awkward as well, it could have been acceptable if the hardware wasnt so shit. Also the vertical aim speed was too slow, fighting in the volcanic hollow can make for quite and experience as you aim down, the monster passes through and you have to aim all the way up, to have the monster sweep through again to aim all the way down, but that's just volcanic hollow being the wreck it is

Harudomerugu. Literally uses liquid mercury as a way to enable it to fly.
>Harudomerugu have up to four pairs of blade-like wings instead of two pairs like other Elder Dragons. Unlike other Elder Dragons, it has no film on its wings to allow it to fly. Instead it uses a liquid metal known as mercury for its wing membrane, allowing Harudomerugu to fly. This new metal has become a hot topic for many blacksmith. To manipulate this metal, Harudomerugu have special red organs that can be seen on some parts of their body. These organs aggregate to produce the liquid metal. Due to this, Harudomerugu are constantly covered in mercury for defense, giving them their usual silver appearance, and they have free control over their mercury. With free control over this metal, Harudomerugu are able to form all sorts of weapons to fight off threats. Harudomerugu have been seen able to form blades, daggers, disk, and even giant balls of mercury around themselves before rolling at great speeds. This suggest that these beasts have high intelligence. This intelligence is also backed up by the shape of a Harudomerugu's horn. The tail is covered in thorns that can make a hunter bleed if touched with bare hands. Without the metal, Harudomerugu are found to have black scales easier to scar.

>Dyuragaua is likely a super predator and a rather intelligent one, much like many other wyverns. They prefer to avoid competition, which probably explains how it avoided human contact for so long in the Nest Hole at the Tower, but since they have now been seen in areas like the Gorge and Highland, showing that many of these explored habitats could have many unknown large creatures that are yet to be discovered. Dyuragaua have to compete with other large predators such as Silver Rathalos, Gold Rathian, Espinas Subspecies, Tigrex, Rajang, Berukyurosu, Hyujikiki, and some Elder Dragons. Yet these Wyverns are no pushovers as Dyuragaua have been seen attacking Berukyurosu in the Gorge and making the powerful electric Wyverns retreat from such confrontations. The powerful Mi Ru is also a deadly threat when competing with them in the Nest Hole.

Have some Fatalis lore Anon.
>The Fatalis is a powerful, unnatural beast. The Fatalis's scales are extremely thick, while its shell is very durable. This is due to Fatalis melting the armor of its fallen prey on its shell, increasing its protection against some attacks. Fatalis doesn't seem to have very good eyesight, though this maybe partially be due to what its eyes are made of. Creepily, a Fatalis's eyes are made out of crystals. How is unknown. Fatalis's wing membrane is flexible, but as hard as metal. From this, Fatalis's wings don't break very easily, allowing it to fly at high speeds and support itself as it becomes airborne. Even on the ground, Fatalis is able to walk on all fours and rush prey at shocking speeds with sheer power behind its bulk. The most powerful feature is its powerful fiery breath. This fire is some of the strongest fire breath out of all monsters and can kill most enemies almost instantly. Recent encounters have revealed that Fatalis possess control over fire on par with Teostra and Lunastra. Its fire breath extends well beyond the length and height of the already large dragon and it can also release a reactive powder as well. This powder is more expansive than Teostra's and can be ignited. The exact workings of Fatalis's explosive attacks is still unknown. The Fatalis also possesses the extremely rare and deadly Dragon Element.

There's more.
>In some legends about the Fatalis, there is a legend known by some as the Black Flame. This legend claims that the Second Coming of Fatalis is infinite. The Fatalis in this legend is quite different from the Fatalis seen in the other legends. This Fatalis is described to have six horns, a glowing blue chest, a short mane in between its spikes, bizarre fluids flowing through out its body, and the ability to control an element known as Black Flame. Black Flame is said to combine the elements Fire and Dragon together into a deadly combination. Despite both being combined together, Dragon seems to overtake this Fatalis's body, allowing it to do things not seen in other legends. This Fatalis is said to be able to send monsters running with a single flap of its wings. A creepy light coming from its eyes invites those it stares at into its dark depths. The fluids are said to have no exact weight and to be possibly caused by the Dragon Element. The very Dragon Element is said to be controlled by its horns. Its shell is impervious to strikes from weapons and has terrifying power inside of it, which could be unleashed at anytime. The scariest part about this legend is that not only is its strength far beyond the ones from the other legends, but its body shows signs of possible regenerative powers. This means that this Fatalis maybe able to regenerate after taking large amounts of damage, just like Dire Miralis can regenerate from its still beating heart. Thankfully, this legend hasn't been proven as of yet so the Guild has nothing to worry about.

Frontier is only considered non-canon because it isn't produced by the main company, but it's still published by Capcom . And yes, I mean magic magic. Elder Dragons are some bullshit. Take this for example.

>One thing that all the legends share about Fatalis is its equipment. This equipment is much more than what it appears to be. When hunters wear this monster's armor, they are known to disappear mysteriously without a trace or even die if the armor is worn for too long. Some who have worn the Fatalis's armor report having terrible nightmares, unsettling strength, and a feeling as if they were being possessed by something. They also report feeling a familiar pulse coming from the armor, a feeling as if their legs were taken from them. With some hunters wearing the armor of the Black Flame, they report feeling as if their body was taken over while they were unconscious. It is said that this equipment might be alive, meaning that Fatalis might not truly be dead. In Pokke Village, a giant black blade embedded in the ice is known to regenerate days after being mined once, which supports this claim that Fatalis is still alive. Other Fatalis weapons also seem to suggest that Fatalis is still alive in some form. Some weapons despair eat at the user's hands while other weapons, when held, have hideous abyssal screams coming from them. Some weapons even have a thirst for blood. From this, it is said that it's best to not to use any equipment from Fatalis in any form at all.

Magic magic. Outright fuckery with the elements. For instance, with some thunder element monsters such as rajang, lagia and astalos, you can see that they produce the electricity using some special organ of sorts from their own body, while kirin on the other hand just outright summons lightning from the sky to zap you.

Dalamadur is legitimately a terrifying fight from a hunter's perspective.

how the fuck can it even sustain itself? Doesn't it have to eat like an entire island just for lunch?

The thing is, since in this universe there was a highly advanced civilization that had tech that most people would see as impossible magic stuff (insert very high tech is indistinguishable from magic here) Where do we know where the super high tech stuff ends and where the magic begins? And how sure are we that the Fatalis lore is not some kind of urban legend that has spread due to the species key role in the fall of all civilzation?

Dalamadur'so "meteors" are known as Shattered Omens, and they are in fact Shattered star fragments that Dalamadur calls down from the heavens to strike you. Here's the blurb on them.

>A piece of a star that fell at the Dalamadur's behest. Challenging to forge with.

It is probably a mineral eater, like the Mohrans.

White Fatalis flies straight out of a black hole that it summons via an eclipse Anon. The realm of logic took it's leave a -loooooong- time ago.

Holla Holla get Dala is probably a mineral eater, but it's also got a lot of things that imply it's some kind of sleeping deity. It probably just returns to a dormant state instead of dying at the end of its hunt.

i don't doubt you're right, but that's just retarded

Are the armor skills worth looking like that?

Shattered Dalamadur literally tries to swallow the Hunter's whole and ends up eating the platform they were standing on. It looks no worse for wear despite thisome. Anyway, I have held off sleep for far too long. I shall hopefully see you all in the morning gents.

Wanna know what else is retarded? Brachy's mace tail with perfect radial symmetry.

Post super mantis lore

>>383776351
That or they gather in snake pits large as countries and mate like crazy...I don't know which is scarier.

>>383776467
Maybe the sharp fangs could be a left over from its snake wyvern ancestors? Anatomy wise it would fit within that group as it kinda looks like a kaiju sized Najarala with less bird like features.

Well Frontier's CG videos make Raviente traverse an entire island with its mouth open while it eats everything it comes across, trees, Aptonoths, Dromes, etc.
So probably like that but with added lasers to fry things. Because you know, with monsters this smart, you'd imagine that the fire and electric ones learned to cook stuff.

>>383776676
It's a mantis that ripped a bunch of shit out of ruins and fortresses and made a walking siege mecha out of it that it puppeteers around with its thread, anchored on the cocooned remains of its former mates

It loves to hoard shiny things, so clearing rubble off the puppet during that part of the fight will result in shiny drops of everything from charms to golden eggs

IIRC it was actually the only way to get G-rank Savage materials until his DLC quest landed some time later.

4U's my first MH game, and maybe it's just because of all the jokes surrounding Deviljho, but he legitimately terrifies me.

>>383779747
4U's Savage Jho was, well, savage, since they made him pin you with every fucking attack that barely grazed you in addition to the proper pin attack.
The fight at its core is not that hard. You just stand under the monster and it can barely reach you.
4U had a boner for the old gen monsters, like Rajang, which practically replaced Jho as THE invader monster in that game. In the 3rd gen you had a constant threat of Jho invading your every quest.

It really doesn't help when they just randomly spawn out of the ground at times. I'm still at the very beginning of G Rank, been grinding a bit to get some better armor so I don't get annihilated. I've tried to take one on and it died like, half my health in a single attack.

>Yfw the reason hunters always have such a great feast/banquet before they go off for another hunt is because it could very well end up being their last meal
At least that's my headcanon.

>>383780229
But hunters don't die, they just catch a cart ride.

>>383780316
Isn't carting just counted off as a player mechanic? I'm sure hunters have died before during hunts.

>>383779954
In 3U couldn't savage jho chain any attack into dragon breath? I didn't really fight it much in 3rd gen.
