Nergigante has paws like cats, no thumbs. I'm 99% certain Capcom used cats as reference for how those forelimbs work. Next time you take one down go look at it's forelimbs, you can even see the distinct cat paw and paw pads and independent toes match a cats.
Research Commissions: "So, Nergigante lives to balance the nature by eating the elder dragon that mess with nature" Also Research Commissions: "Let's kill it and hope the nature doesn't become unbalance"
I just replayed the game and i had the exact same idea. After killing Nargigante the handler said that the poor elder dragons can now live in peace, you know the monsters with incredible destructive powers that do anything BUT live in peace! I hate the Handler so much.
"One of why nergi is classed as elder dragon is because it is eating another elders." Poor rajang. Maybe that's why it's so furious everytime I see it.
@@lordofdarkness4204 I know lots thanks to Ragegaming. I just love them both a lot Bc their ecologies are done exceptionally well and I’d love to see if there’s anything I don’t know
They're probably tied to the "ancient monsters" which are basically the ancestors all monsters have developed from over time. Ragegaming made a video about them
@@yiangaruga4928 cries in Tigrex. Seriously though I’d love to see a monster hunter game that maybe goes back in time to the start of man that has some of the older monsters. We’d maybe see similarities to modern monsters but they’d ultimately be different. The only one that would be the same would be Tigrex.
fun fact: ruiner keeps his wings up when he isn't fighting and rarely moves them, likely due to the metallic spikes all over the 'wrist' joint restricting movement.
I figured ruiner was just knock out conscious, but if he did in fact played dead, he knew that shara was in the area but didn’t know exactly where he was, during the fight we had with him he decided to play dead to draw him out but didn’t expect he’d be buried alive and spent the whole time either digging his way out or waiting for an opportune moment to attack.
ive always loved nergigante, primarily because he is just a powerhouse not relying on elements as a niche but instead on pure strength alone and then ruiner applying that with intelligence as well
Nergi honestly has to be my favorite monster so far. How can you not love a monster that comes in and finishes off something like Shara Ishvalda, especially in the brutal way that it did.
I'm already enjoying the series! I also appreciate you making this because your one of the most popular monster hunter youtubers so more people can be told about the ecology of the monsters.
Same. I'm interested in the fungus of blackveil, how the regular and blackveil's eyesight compare, and how its bioenergy is used, as well as its growth cycle.
@@therighttrousers343 I found it pretty cool, that, you can blind the original with flash pods whenever just fine, but the growths on Blackveil, actually blind him, and you cannot Flash him till you break apart his head.
Yeah, to me that implies somewhat that it can sense through the mushrooms since it can detect you while its eyes are covered. I think sporepuffs still work though, and presumably smoke bombs too, and also ghillie mantle, so I would say that the spores on black veil do detect photo-sensitively rather than detecting like Gore Magala, because of that ghillie mantle being specifically a way to hide visually. Another thought is that Vaal Hazak might have evolved specifically to deal with the low light conditions of the Rotten Vale, but Blackveil rather than evolving the eyes to deal with a higher light environment, takes an evolutionary shortcut by simply blocking out the high-light environment with mushrooms.
I already love this series! Can we have one on Namielle next? It's such a gorgeous dragon and it blew my mind when I first saw the colours on it! Also, great video as always!
9:40 They made a weird mistake here though, first they say it's a subspecies and then later talk about it being a variant :D If they keep making ecology videos they gotta make sure all information is accurate
This series of videos is wonderful! I love the direction you guys are taking with this. I'd honestly love to see you cover either Dodogama or Shara Ishvalda.
Great series, it made a lot of fans to look forward in upcoming episodes of this series, especially regarding their favourite monster. Well done and thanks TDS for always presenting great "fan service" to us!
One of the best done lore videos out there, going really in deph to the monster and managing to keep saying interesting things for 11 min for a single monster. Very good
Can someone just make like a 1 or 2 minute video of nergi idling. He's honestly so adorable when he idles, when he looks around or nuzzles against objects with his sharp spines. Or maybe just make a video where all the monsters can be seen idling
@@mr.nergigante440 Good pick. Good pick. I just really like nerg cuz this man is running fade with other elders, he asexually reproduces to not include other genes that could cause in failure, has a menacing roar, is essentially the mc dragon of mhw, he eats other elders to become stronger, has to this day the only move that would instill fear into my eyes, that being the dive bomb or how i call it; the rolling thunder, how one of the coolest designs
I really hope you continue to do this series because this is incredible! I know that my friend has been searching for lore ob Vaal Hazak for a while but can't find anything good. So it would be awesome to see you cover that!
I'm suuuuuuuper interested in this series. I'm actually in the works of creating a homebrew Tabletop System just for my friends and I'd love to get videos like these as points of reference on monster ecology.
Yes, would love more MH ecology videos since that is arguably the most fleshed out "lore" of the franchise, and that's fine considering how much thought and creativity Capcom puts into creating these monsters. As for who'd I like to see next, either Glavenus, Zinogre, Ahtal Ka or Valstrax would be my picks.
I really appreciated that this wasn't just some tidbits snagged off the wiki. You actually went into details on the different functions, beyond vague ideas of "Yeah spikes regrow." Hearing about the oxidization process and such gave some awesome insight, which are normally details I'd never discover. Please, keep this series up, as I'd love to hear about all these hidden tidbits of lore.
I believe most of the information comes from the lore encyclopaedia, made by Capcom itself, and that of course 100% legitimate lore. My point is that Chris is using a reliable and accurate source for the information in this video.
lore is always a nice thing with monster hunter. more background to define the series as more than just hunting monsters is always appreciated so keep up the lore videos. more people, even if a small amount, will enjoy the games because of it and im sure of this
I actually want to see that horned acid dragon it looks really creative and would make an intresting fight such a incentive design it would have been something very cool to fight.
Ok at 1:42 that was cute, I see you Capcom you make a badass durring all the time we see it, but when no one is watching it acts like a big spike covered doggo.
Love this series already my only note would be not to confuse new fans of the series by using sub-species and variant in the same sentence as it could confuse them. Great series otherwise 👍
lore does not make plot. Lore is background information, reasons why the world works like it does. Plot is events within said world. MH doesn't have much plot because the events are always just "Monsters are attacking, you need to stop them!" but the information about these monsters and how they work is much more interesting.
I'm new to the series and only really began enjoying the gameplay but this lore vid got me hooked for more. It's presented in a way similar to that of a prehistoric discovery. I will be eagerly awaiting for more lore vids. Great work and thanks for showing me something I didn't know I would have been interested in. 😁
Please keep this series. It could be one of the longer series of videos on the channel and if the rest of the videos are as in depth as this one, I'm sure they will become very popular in the community as all your other videos do
@@helloimjusthere4081 I feel pretty confident that Nergigante will be back for future games. I was specifically talking about the Horn Dragon Nergigante they had as concept art. On another note, WOOOOOO
10:35 I don't think it was playing dead. I think it WAS dead, but it regenerated from the grave and came back. Maybe every Ruiner Nergigante is really just the same one, and it came from the dead.
Love the new content! That regenerating horned dragon concept art is bizarre and creepy. I like it, but it doesn't feel like Monster Hunter at all. The final Nergigante we got is really well-designed. Nerg feels so much like a bear or big cat in how it looks and moves, which emphasizes its status as a predator of Elder Dragons.
This series is so good. I hope it catches on, I'm looking forward to more videos! I'd really like to know more about the whole Jiiva family, considering their unique development.
really cool video guys, please make more of them. also it would be nice to first maybe see all the flagships, including my fav monster lagiacrus, and then there could be the "normal monsters". Just a thought since the flagships probably have a lot of lore to talk about :)

Nergigante has 1 major tool that puts him advantage over elder dragons. THUMBS
Does Nergigante have thumb
And toe beans
OMG that is why its so op it has THUMBS that makes him so strong its like the power up from normal to arch tempert

i want shara ishvalda lore, he's just so out of this world
There is a reference here but I can't pinpoint what is it
fun fact: ruiner keeps his wings up when he isn't fighting and rarely moves them, likely due to the metallic spikes all over the 'wrist' joint restricting movement.
I figured ruiner was just knock out conscious, but if he did in fact played dead, he knew that shara was in the area but didn’t know exactly where he was, during the fight we had with him he decided to play dead to draw him out but didn’t expect he’d be buried alive and spent the whole time either digging his way out or waiting for an opportune moment to attack.
ive always loved nergigante, primarily because he is just a powerhouse not relying on elements as a niche but instead on pure strength alone and then ruiner applying that with intelligence as well
Nergi honestly has to be my favorite monster so far. How can you not love a monster that comes in and finishes off something like Shara Ishvalda, especially in the brutal way that it did.
Well it didn’t work for it. Literally waited till it was almost dead to finish it off.
Its kinda really easy to hate a kill stealer to be honest. Even if it's done with style.
@@phlixcarbon but Nergigante was close to death too? Or did we forget the fight we had with it before Shara?

Surely I can't be the only one that thinks nerg is kinda cute and really want to pet him (Probably not a good idea but anyways)
YES HOLY SHIT! I thought I was the only one, the way nergi is like a puppy when he sleeps is adorable.
Nah it's not just you. He's fucking adorable.
I think he’s cute when he’s just sitting there, in a “awwwwww he could totally turn me inside out but awwwww” kind of way
Just look at his paw beans!
Well, maybe it's just being tsundere about that.
Like, maybe he really wants to get pet, but being petted by a puny hooman is not cool.
