I believe that Zorah Magdaros was never capable of flight, instead it's wing limbs were evolved to to help shape and form and stabilize the shell that he forms from it's cores.
Yeah I've seen the art book, the wings have no membranes, they look more like the grabbing arms of a chameleon, and I think they either evolved back into or are what the wing arms of Elder Dragons all look like, they're basically six limbed vertabrates. A bit like Gaismagorm but his arms have become specialized for digging. There must have been a common ancestor that had six limbs, some grew them into wings while others became extra limbs or arms
@@GoldenChicken3960 The skull of Dalamadur is in the Rotten Valley, it refers to the Rotten Biome in the Destiny Lands, where the skull of a Zorah Magdaros appears.
I believe that Zorah Magdaros skull must've been from a abnormally huge individual. Because the living one we encountered in base World was already old and close to dying themself.
i'm gonna say based on the concept art and details in game, Zorah Magdaros definently never could fly during any point in its lifetime, but those defiantly are leftover wings from an ancestor that COULD fly. we know that many of the six limbed dragons and wyverns share ancestry, likely flight was a key adaptation of the shared ancestor. but Zorah's wings are clearly noted as readapted for the purpose of carrying its immense shell. their shape even leans into this, as their paddle-like design is more useful in the act of shaping the material during the initial stages of its young life then any sort of flight. and for anyone who may think 'but it's a fantasy creature why couldn't it have been able to fly early on?', remember one of the main tenants in MH's design choices is that all designs be grounded in realism. most of the adaptations we see in game have in-universe explanations, maybe not great ones, but realistic enough that it feels /natural/ and not too fastastical.
Vestigial wings, nice. Either it was able to fly at one point in it's life, as you said, but one could say it's more of a "At one point in it's evolution it was able to fly." situation, like how there are flightless birds.
That explanation wouldn’t make any sense as Lao has no shown signs of wings at all ever in its evolutionary line and they’re basically cousins as species
In the artbook it's stated that the additional pair of arms are used to hold up the mountain on the back and I always thought the illustration to be a bit creepy
I read a theory about it, but it was not born with a mountain, so definitely the wings were supposed to fly naturally. When it got older, it may have improvised them to hold the mountain.
@@HardcoreMonsterFan I think OP is right, the wing parts are for holding accumilated rock in place. Similar thing with Ukanlos and Akantor. Both are flying wyverns yet their wings are nigh non-existent in favor of digging.
@@HardcoreMonsterFan OP is more right I think its like us humans, we still have a tail bone but we dont have tails anymore, could be the same for zorah that it cant fly anymore but used the limbs for holding the shell to protect himself at a young age
@@BlueGhidorah2002 im pretty sure last i checked height isnt nose to ass its foot to head and if you look it up his HEIGHT is 250 meters or 820 feet and for reference legendary godzilla is only around 120 meters or 393 feet tall
As seen in the concept art and official artbook, the "wings" are for holding onto the shell. Not for flying. The shell forms around the limbs on the back, supporting and attaching it.
No the wings weren’t what you’re thinking of instead in the art book what was shown was a third arm on its back to hold the shell it’s kinda gross to look at
Back during World's reveal with leaked concept designs, I initially thought Zorah Magdaros was being used like a taxi for a parasite growing in its back. I thought the story was about Vaal Hazak growing inside Zorah and we were trying to stop Zorah before Vaal burst out from the mountain.
Zorah has/had wings!? That's frickin' cool! Also, I never noticed it's scales were purple either. That explains a lot why the armor set has purple scales. Never occurred to put one and one together when it should've been obvious. Thanks for this, definitely learned more about Zorah.
I’m pretty sure the back is only smooth and flat because part of the back is modeled with the shell. The base of the lava cores having the same sheen and texture as the scales implies that the lava cores are spines along its back.
My interpretation of a Zorah Magdaros’s life span would be: Hatchling: around the size of a grown hunter tends to carry rocks enjoys flying around and swimming at fast speeds (small monster). Childhood: around the size of a Barroth tends to hold boulders with its third arm (look at the art book if you didn’t know about it) it uses its large wings to fly around and propel itself in the water (high-rank). Adolescence: the most dangerous to humans age the size of a Shara Ishvalda holds a large volcanic shell onto its body with its third arm same as later ages has very large burnt wings tucked under that shell will often use the shell to fight has an even more dangerous encounter under water (master-rank). Adulthood: size of a Dir[ r e d a c t e d ]alis highly explosive engage with caution spends most of its time under water as its far too heavy to walk on land constantly and its wings are starting to burn shut (master-rank). Elderly: shown in games some examples are the Zorah Magdaros in world the guiding lands and lastly the rotted corpse in the frost islands its wings have burn fully burnt shut never to open again (obviously this process is very painful) (high-rank). If wanted i can go through and explain what a adolescent fight with him would be like.
Love the thought process here man! Personally I feel like the babies might be bigger but I could imagine the little guys growing like cysts on the backs of elderly zoras
@johnblain4477B Oh, that makes a lot of sense with the way they grow up, however i would say the size of the babies would be bigger but Zorah’s grow like it’s nothing else so i had to make the babies smaller than i would’ve
I like the idea that when it's young it CAN fly, but as it gets older, it's body gets too heavy, and the wings develop into extra limbs to help anchor it's massive shell, slowly shrinking due to basically just being used as big back thumbs instead of actually flapping.
Nah. The guiding lands were a thing before, Zorah just became part of it and probably added the vulcanic region. But it also doesn't make sense because Zorah is supposed to explode when he dies. The Guiding Lands look a little too good for that to have happened 😂
@@azizella2778Guiding Lands were indeed created by a Zorah that died long ago. It couldn't make it all the way to the new world and similar to the rotten vale Dala subspecies created a massive explosion that lifted up the crust when it died.

7:03 perhaps young Zorah Magdaros fill different evolutionary niches, with the wings providing mobility before its magmacores mature and its shell forms. Though, as @stevenlamarche8416 pointed out, they could be used to help shape the shell as it grows, and I think their advanced musculature despite being long vestigial makes sense for this.
Ok so there is a couple problems with the statements here, the video is great I do apologize for critiquing, but 1 Dalamadur is more likely to be the largest possibly, but you could also be right because it’s believed that the entire of the guiding lands is a dead Zorah, while the entire of the vail, and more is Dalamadur while yes there is another it doesen’t make up the entire then unlike the 36k foot one, also it’s much bigger then Godzilla evolved because right now Godzilla is 120 m zorah is 280 m in height, while Godzilla earth is 300, making him massive but ya you’re right.
@@BlueGhidorah2002 look at it one more time Zorah is about 257m tall the one we fight, and the Zorah that makes up the guidinglands is most likely is much larger at arguably over 9 miles
@@BlueGhidorah2002 from what I’ve been seeing there’s more sites saying otherwise, so we must speak of the fact that if we include the largest specimen of Zorah then he’d be much larger look at the guiding lands, also just look at his body when we compare it to Godzilla. It’s much larger overall I mean, just look at it. His head is quite literally around the same size as Godzilla earth hell same with his body. 💀
Redesigning zorah magdaros bc he is really cool. Gameplay wise he is just a moving island that u can hunt on, a big spectacle not a fight tho u could probably figgt a bady one that is as big as gogmazios. Then the shell shoukd be rounder flatter and actually a part of his body it would have spikes all around and rocks and plants would grow on it to form the landscape u hunt on. His body should be longer and much bulkier especially the legs they feel way to small to carry an island i would also give him an extra pair of front legs just bc. His head would have bigger horns that branch out like kulve taroths horns and smth like safis horn at the same time the horn on his bose would also be bigger and i would put two horns on his jaw too. He would be like ywice as big as the one we fight so that he can be a muving island his colors should also be more red and purples and less black. His tail would also have spikes on it. There would be a cutscene where sailors are sailing and they see the spikes they mistake them for rocks they try to avoid them and then zorah just hits them anyway, there could also be a cutscene where sailors mistake zorah for an inhabited island bc of a tzitzi ya ku that flashes the sky and they mistake it for a lighthouse. The mystery of what it is that is destroying everything would be pretty interesting. Open for more ideas :)
@@HardcoreMonsterFan all monsters in Monster Hunter are listed by length by default, nose to tail. Sometimes the pose or what is included can be confusing but this is a relatively simple case. Since you have the model you can presumably see the default scaling has it ~257 meters long from nose to tail in T-pose?(default scaling is not always accurate depending on the monster, but for the big boys like this, there’s never any scaling factor, they’re made to be size they are in the files) More information is provided in “Dive into Monster Hunter World” than is seen in-game-its listed as: Total length: 25764.59cm Total height: 13132.76cm Foot length: 1845cm As another side note the book and the game mentions that this specimen is larger than any they’ve recorded prior as a result of its age-the book mentions more specifically that the largest recorded prior was around 200 meters long. We never actually see any other individuals though.
@@HardcoreMonsterFan yeah, I learned dalamadur is actually 2 monsters mashed into one. The tail and body are separate monsters. So I think a better option would be raviente. Unless it's also weird.
the problem with raviente is that, the game has been shut down. I don't find a way to take its animation and its gameplay. I have the model, but I'm not sure how to incorporate it into a video. Maybe a short ???
The reason the back is so flat is because the devs knew they could get away with using a less detailed texture on a part that wouldn't normally be seen
It’s definitely not supposed to be that flat in reality, as you can see exposed parts of its back around a couple of the magma cores, which very much are not flat or smooth. On a modeling level, those exposed parts are probably considered part of the shell mesh rather than its main body.
Yeah, you can see how Zorah's back without its shell actually look like if you look at its official creature illustration page from Monster Hunter: World Divebook. It's actually quite bit of spiky, due to large and small magmacores are covering its back.
Vestigial wings given new purpose. They're there to hold the massive fuck off rock on his back, no point in needing to fly if you’re gonna have a volcano to carry.
Some non monster hunter player probably wondering how we could slain such a massive elder dragon like this, but as a player, i can say, in a nutshell, we shoot it with some cannons and then cracking 3 pimples on his back called magnacore, and we're good. (That doesn't kill it anyway, just scared it so it leave)
the music named "Epic Dark Orchestra and Choir" from Orchestralis. Fun story: i have so many problems when dealing with copyrigh lisense for using this music
This is entirely my bad. I used "Length" when making the 3D model. But for some reason, I messed up the script with "Height". 😭😭 Reddit Post: www.reddit.com/r/MonsterHunter/comments/1fzo9af/compare_the_size_of_zorah_magdoras_with_evolved/
Uhh, you do realize that Uth Duna is a Leviathan class monster right? It's even stated that the closest relative to Zorah Magdaros is actually Lao Shan Lung. While other elder like Namielle shares some physical similarity to that of Chameleos.
Uth Duna isn't an Elder Dragon, so no. We have Zorah Magdaros on the official genetic tree. Elder Dragons are a separate order and Zorah's closest relative is Lao Shan Lung.
I don't think Nergigante wants to kill it. More like chasing him away to his death location. But I am actually not sure, I don't see any way Nergigante can deal with this turtle.
I mean Nergi could be looking at just certain organs to eat to let the rest decay and be scavenged from much like how transient Orca hunt and take down much larger whales just to consume its tongue or great whites or other sharks for their liver. Allowing it to feed the ecosystem while also becoming it's own if we have anything to go by it's larger deceased specimen that hints at being the building blocks or more to the guiding lands. :)
Dud am sorry but zorah magdaros's back is not flat have you seen the concept art of him hes tall has spikes on it not a flat tail Am sorry for getting mad but it is just the model the game used
No worries, I'll stick to "the model" as my reference. Concept art changes often, but the model represents the final product, so I prioritize it. Take Magnamalo for example. In the game, the guy looks like he hits the gym 10 hours per day, but in the concept art, he's just a fantasy tiger.

So, the evolution includes him holding the rock, then the hill, and finally a mountain... TBH, very interesting and fascinating evolution choice.

the music named "Epic Dark Orchestra and Choir" from Orchestralis. Fun story: i have so many problems when dealing with copyrigh lisense for using this music
I think those are wings and just help shift the volcano/rock on his back around
No Godzilla is just around 400 ft so that means it is at Zorah magdoras waist and not at eye level
This is entirely my bad. I used "Length" when making the 3D model. But for some reason, I messed up the script with "Height". 😭😭

@@HardcoreMonsterFan it’s okay sorry for making what I said sound threatening
3:46 ZAMNNNN!!!
interesting how the devs animated the unseen wing limbs despite nobody will see it unless they hack the game
Without the mountain shell, he looks like Shin Godzilla 5th form(where he would grow wings), but with a more natural appearance and bigger arms
Not at all. Shins 5th form resembles a human
Pov: Zorah Magdaros being annoyed by angry pigeon sized Nergigante😂
nice job incorporating the voice into the whole video
Hunter: What parts do I need for his armor😏
Largest monster in the franchise meanwhile dalamider: hold my beer.
UTH DUNA'S ANOTHER ANCESTOR TO IT!
What?
What?
Uhh, you do realize that Uth Duna is a Leviathan class monster right? It's even stated that the closest relative to Zorah Magdaros is actually Lao Shan Lung. While other elder like Namielle shares some physical similarity to that of Chameleos.
Uth Duna isn't an Elder Dragon, so no. We have Zorah Magdaros on the official genetic tree. Elder Dragons are a separate order and Zorah's closest relative is Lao Shan Lung.
LETS GOOOOO!!!
i believe zorah magdoras is evolution of Betelgeuse or devolution of Betelgeuse when its older, i dunno
The fact that Nergigante wanted this titan for lunch is impressive ngl
It didn’t. it was killing it to prevent the Monster from dying and overloading the new world with its death energy
I don't think Nergigante wants to kill it. More like chasing him away to his death location. But I am actually not sure, I don't see any way Nergigante can deal with this turtle.
@@michaelblevins1651 "It was killing it to prevent it from dying". Come again?
I mean Nergi could be looking at just certain organs to eat to let the rest decay and be scavenged from much like how transient Orca hunt and take down much larger whales just to consume its tongue or great whites or other sharks for their liver.
Allowing it to feed the ecosystem while also becoming it's own if we have anything to go by it's larger deceased specimen that hints at being the building blocks or more to the guiding lands. :)
I would like to see Mount Everest on his back as a shell
Dud am sorry but zorah magdaros's back is not flat have you seen the concept art of him hes tall has spikes on it not a flat tail
Am sorry for getting mad but it is just the model the game used
But he is massive I thought that he is only 400 ft but he's true size is insane but I do like your videos sorry for getting mad
No worries, I'll stick to "the model" as my reference. Concept art changes often, but the model represents the final product, so I prioritize it.
Take Magnamalo for example. In the game, the guy looks like he hits the gym 10 hours per day, but in the concept art, he's just a fantasy tiger.
Thinks
Oh and can you do dalamadur and laviente
yeah, in the middle of working on it
Real talk, how big is Zora Magdaros compared to Dalamadur?
Hoping for a dalamadur video😊
와 개신기하네.. 인도하는 땅이랑 설원에 조라 뼈가 있다니
Amazing how such a cool idea of a monster became the most boring "fight" in the entire franchise.
I wanna hunt a juvenile zorah magdaros
Can we get a comparison to subnauticas gargantuan leviathan
WOAH WOAH WOAH
Oh, it’s a Grillet.
It is made up of literal Stone. How would one possibly fight this?
Elden ring real quiet after this one
Could zorah magdaros be an overgrown gog mazios?
Bigger like Godzilla
Why does the voice sound like Max0r 😭😭😭
so its a snapping turtle
the biggest monster in monster hunter is laviente from frontier
Godzilla earth is still taller then Zorah Magda’sos so no this isn’t the tallest titan ever
Zorah magdalos is NOT the biggest in the franchise. It is Dalamadur
Dalamadur is the longest, zorah is the biggest by mass not lenght
@@miriamemanueleforneris3701 yeah that’s like saying that if someone weight 500+ pounds is bigger than a 7 foot tall sport player
@@miriamemanueleforneris3701 btw the wiki states otherwise
WINGS...... NO WAY
Is it bigger then the anime one Godzilla earth Wich is bigger then a mountain and the
No
Just a bit smaller than him
It's.... actually can be bigger. The dead skull of Zorah Magdaros is nearly 2x this size. Too shame that I know this after I finish the video.
coolest monster, so sad that his fight was boring
ITS NOT TRUE THAT ZORA IS THE LARGEST MONSTER. As a monster hunter need this is offensive.
Fake news. Zorah is not the largest monster.
Uh yes it is, dalamadur is the longest but not largest
What does it even eat
Majestic AF.
Caldonterrus from creatures of sonaria lol
Most likely Zorah was their inspiration.
Everyone knew all that
THATS JUST GODZILLA
The one we fight in World is a female
Really, how do you know ??
6:30
is it possible that the zorah magdaros is some sort of INSANELY OLD dire miralis?
Doubt it. They're relative species apparently but not the same.
Now I really need to see art of Zorah flying with wings like four times its size
one of if not the worst elder dragon ever created, both in concept lore and design
