This Bazel documentary was one of my favorites that Cotton did back in the day, and it still is. He's made a massive impact all over the new world and I enjoy every second of the B-52. I have to admit, Josh's documentary on the Bazel is also hilariously good 😂😂😂
If you want to know about Bazelgeuse's actual ecology, here's the rundown! They carry a large colony of nitrate-producing microorganisms in the head and tail, meaning that they quite literally produce explosive compounds. The only requirement to maintain these nitrate microorganisms' production is providing a proper medium for them to grow in a.k.a. water. This means that, so long as Bazelgeuse has consistent access to water, its blasting scale production is effectively unlimited. Good thing too, as Bazelgeuse's main hunting/feeding strategy involves dropping bombs on prey and competition alike. It doesn't need strong jaws or talons like other wyverns since its blasting scales will blow up prey into smaller and more digestible chunks, and its strong shell and body are resistant to its own explosions, meaning it can do divebombs without risk of injury. In addition, it turns out that the Elder's Recess is the true home of Bazelgeuse, as the species originated there. The species was disturbed from their home after Zorah Magdaros's seismic activity in the Great Ravine opened up passage between the Elder's Recess and the rest of the New World. They spread out far and wide, as the peaks of the Elder's Recess are the highest in the New World and let them glide down to all the other locales. However, while they have strong gliding flight, their wings aren't as strong at generating lift, meaning they can end up trapped in these locales after gliding down to them, so they just decide to make new territories after being stranded. Seething Bazelgeuse are individuals who stayed in the Elder's Recess and, due to the abundant Bioenergy and high competition, ended up mutating. This Variant mutation allows them to maintain their heated state indefinitely due to having enough Bioenergy in their environment to power it and enough competition to necessitate better heating capabilities. As well, the composition of their blast fluid changes, becoming more powerful when Seething Bazelgeuse amp up their heating state beyond normal. The infamous "nuke" attack that they do is an intimidation display, meant to show off their strength to would-be competitors. I can't personally imagine many Monsters would dare continue to fight a Seething Bazelgeuse after such a display, should they avoid or survive it.
@sudemglaibasumatary6050 And even in the Seething cutscene, I seem to recall it getting enough lift that, if it wasn't a raging psychopath, would've given it the option to leave the Recess rather then continue trying to blast the flesh from your bones. Rest of this is probably good, though
I think Josh's Bazel documentary was the first video I saw of the channel. Got lead down a funny documentary rabbit hole and just kept watching, waiting for more.
Not gonna lie, I use to hate Bazelgeuse immensely back in the days of me playing MHW, but he eventually turned out to be one of my favorite monsters of all time. He definitely deserves a spot in MH Wilds.
We need the FISH OR NOT FISH DOCUMENTARY. your petty tricks cant fool us! Bazel got a documentary! The fish deserve one! Maybe Bazel can even make an appearance!
One way for you guys to make a Fish or Not A Fish Documentary would be to play the FathomVerse app made by the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Not only would you be teaching us about what is and isn’t a fish, you would also be able to use your vast knowledge on the subject to train an AI to help with marine life research.
OMG I encountered the great 52-Bomber for the first time in my playthrough with MHW just the other day. In the Rotten Vale in the smallest room possible! Thank you for making these kinds of videos, it has been a blast watching them and listening to them in the background for stuff.
23:03 That is incorrect. The real reason is that insects don’t feel “pain” the way we do. We don’t know entirely how the perceive “pain” but it sends a negative signal to the brain when they are in danger. When eating, however, the positive signal from the food overrides the negative signal from the attack. The idea that mantids can’t focus on more than one thing at a time is ridiculous. Were it true, then they wouldn’t be able to hold onto and consume prey at the same time and would starve to death.
I know that Josh has gotten things wrong or sensationalized in the past (Yian-Garuga would agree), but I wouldn’t get upset at him for expressing his passion for this series as an animal lover. The ecology and greater lore of the Monster Hunter world and its respective fauna is a key element of the series that fascinates me to no end. I don’t consider myself an expert at all, and I tend to prefer the act of hunting more than learning every iota of the natural biology of them as animals, but that doesn’t mean it’s wrong to prefer that aspect of the series and drawing parallels to our own real world nature to see the elements the team draws inspiration from, like Balahara and his Oyster eyes. So even if it’s a lot more fantastical in Monster Hunter and at times it’s more speculative, especially concerning Elder Dragons, I can’t see the series without its tie to nature and our role in the realms of this series as its custodians. So I always enjoy when the community has videos to better get in tune with the series and how its art teams translate our favorite monsters into the cycle of life.
The documentary’s are still some of my favorite videos from the series, they add so much life into the game and I can’t wait to see what you do in wilds.
I still remember when Bazelgeuse was still unknown, and his theme struck genuine fear into all who heard it's menacingly badass string and horn section. He was the Deviljho of Worlds.....until Deviljho decided to defend his throne. That hunt still haunts me....
I do remember the documentary, i would appreciate the whole New World documented by you two as an example the "deviljho breeding grounds" caught me off guard😂
22:03 With bombardier beetles, it’s not so much about the heat than it is that the chemical produced, 1,4-Benzoquinone, is caustic and a rather extreme irritant that drives off attackers.
I can't wait for Wilds and the inevitable Josh Attenborough "And here we have Rey Dau. As you can see it's head can tranform into a fucking rail gun" Really looking forward to more of these
I've been waiting for this one for a long time it was actually the first rage gaming I ever saw bc I was playing world and wanted to know some lore and came across this 😂
To be honest I was a little disappointed that you guys didn’t include the Bazel Christmas special in with these two videos. That would have capped it off.
@ragegamingvideos So, you said we'd be doing more of these if we wanted, and we cerrainly seem to want it, so do you know when you're gonna continue these documentary reactions?

Hold on, if their wings are weak, how did one fought a freaking Nergigante mid air ?

175 Proobs in and there is still no Fish or not Fish documentary 🐟
They thought naming the Dave the Diver video Fish or Not Fish would keep the Fish documentary comments at bay! Ha!
Give us the fishumentary!!!
Josh finally heard the monkey in his laughs. Hearing him laugh is legit one of my favorite things about this channel
(Technically)175 Proobs in and there's still no Fish or Not Fish Documentary🦀🌙🐌🐟🐢
But this, so forgiven
Well thanks to this episode we now need a dodogama documentary
@@Cheslovesnuclearrods Are you sure? It may bleed over into his ultimate inter-dimensional predator...
@@TheIdealofGreed it’s a risk we may need to take for a duel documentary

Double dose of Bazel. Just need 50 more for the perfect amount.
This is still my favorite documentary.
This was the first video from you guys I watched, and got me hooked!
Fish documentary 🐡🐟🐠🦈🎣
love reliving these videos after all these years
1:03 Cobra is Cotton confirmed
I do remember the documentary, i would appreciate the whole New World documented by you two as an example the "deviljho breeding grounds" caught me off guard😂
A Day in the Life of Anjanath (or whatever the exact title was, it migh've been Great Jagras or Aptonoth) would be a fun one.
22:03 With bombardier beetles, it’s not so much about the heat than it is that the chemical produced, 1,4-Benzoquinone, is caustic and a rather extreme irritant that drives off attackers.

Really looking forward to more of these
Odogaron documentary was my very very first video i watched in your channel
Need more MH Documentaries.
Next vid: A Day in the Life of Cotton
I've been waiting for this one for a long time it was actually the first rage gaming I ever saw bc I was playing world and wanted to know some lore and came across this 😂
Not gunna lie. I laughed from the start of the Cotton segment to the end.
These are absolute Master pieces.
To be honest I was a little disappointed that you guys didn’t include the Bazel Christmas special in with these two videos. That would have capped it off.
13:20 I mean, heat generates pressure in liquids, so that would be Bloodbath🤔
Every time I see monster hunter from y’all I know it’s gonna be a good day.
Confirmed: Josh originally preserved Cotton. 🤣
More Candy Crabane would be very welcome.
Y’all need to do this with wilds monsters when it releases especially with candy crabbaine
Bazlgeese is in my top 3 monters love brachyios and glavenies i guess i love explosions 😂❤
Bazel boba booming run bazel boba boming run
i miss the day in the life of
Wait, how are you hanging from nowhere with a hook? Was there a wedge beetle in the forest on that area?
I still wanna see the Gravios/Rustrazor video
love these vids
More proob? Well don't mind if i do.
yaay new video :3👍
@ragegamingvideos So, you said we'd be doing more of these if we wanted, and we cerrainly seem to want it, so do you know when you're gonna continue these documentary reactions?
Bazel looks scary, but it's all fake and so easy. The thing always misses and just lays on the ground, severely underwhelming creature unfortunately
19 seconds I'm never this early
You guys should react to the Oceaniz video's
Ahhhh! I was just talking about how l missed the old ecology videos! What the hell? Am i prophetic in an annoyingly crapy way?
This is like 50% dudes screaming and laughing 😒
17:16 Josh: I'm so sorry about this, I don't know what happened, I swear I WILL BE BETTER
20:35 Bleach likes to play with it a lot
21:26 Do you actually have a background in biology, ecology, anatomy, or something?
2:07 What do you mean couldn't do documentaries?
21:22 What? Is this the twitter crowd, because I usually only see glowing reviews on your ecology videos, plus frequent demands for them to return?
