My head cannons for it is that the unknown are the monsters attempt to make a counter to the equal dragon weapon. A monster species the result of selective breeding to make a living weapon.
@@CaveTroglodyte Its probably the ancient ancestor to them, similar to how its theorized how Disufiroa is the relative of Alatreon. If I had to guess during this time this species had a hard time surviving because everything was so powerful, so it evolved a way to change gender, along with the ability to exert more and more of its power. As time went on its insane power wasn't needed anymore, so it essentially got weaker. This receded to the point where the gender switch ability wasn't needed anymore, so it was essentially lost in genetics. There's probably a male Rathian or a female Rathalos born every few hundred or thousand eggs, it's just that the game doesn't depend on that.
My guess is that it's the missing link, the monster from which most other flying wyverns branch out. It has the physical characteristics of the raths, the ferocity and anger of diablos and monoblos, the internal gas build up and dispersal mechanisms of gravios and basarios, and the hollow thorns of espinas, which in this case contain a deadly acid instead of a neurotoxin.
Maybe it's just me, but the section from 1:20 to 2:20 has a slight sorrowful undertone to its intensity. It makes me think of someone fighting to save or avenge a close friend or family member.
It is, for the fighters but mostly for the wyvern itself. Once the second phase starts, it is fighting and desperate to survive against and kill the Hunter - but at this point both are beaten and on their last leg, and the "rivalry" between these different types of monsters is about to come to an end. It is similar with Zerureusu, only its initial starting music is peaceful from the start and almost background atmosphere, only ramping up a bit for the second phase, when it gets desperate.
@@dartole7611 I honestly forgot to write the titles for some of the themes, so a few weeks ago I started listening to them again and realised it and decided to fix it XD

I like how the theme starts with what sounds like bagpipes. The instrument that you usually hear when you've failed a hunt.
Or
Unknown is actually Scottish
@@definitelynotjayferno the actual canon
by mainline standards yes but Frontier uses bagpipes more liberally than mainline
This entire theme just screams *_"you will not survive."_*
this theme just SCREAMS "you fools have dug your own grave." I'd love to see Unknown make an appearance in a mainline Monster Hunter game one day
Me too honestly
Would be super happy if it showed up in Sunbreak like Espinas
I’d like to thank this theme for helping me defeat the final boss in Elden Ring
When Monster Hunter music is so good that you decide to put it over the theme of another game's final boss:
Honestly elden beast didnt deserve this theme
This is no longer a hunt.
*It is a test of survival*
Finally beat the upper shiten version. My heart always sunk in when this phase of the fight started.
And to this day we will never know what Unknown truly is...

@@infinaxgaming7135 that sure is a headcanon
We do know, they're a relative to the Raths, however unlike them Unknown can be either male or female

Unknown is pretty interesting honestly
damn this themes a banger

How's every other comment 2 years ago, was this skipped by accident?

@@dinorex3464 Are these their official names or did you come up with them? If they are official, where did you find the information?
@@erickirchhof6645 They are official, Capcom released the disc with all the themes named.
@@dinorex3464 Ah I see, thanks for the quick reply!
If I ever hear those bagpipes in a mainline game I'm uninstalling instantly, NO THANKS
ok ok .... imagine fighting this thing with an insect glavie
You just vault off the death circle
Hey friend listen, I know the hunts been scary so far but...
ITS GONNA GET WAY WORSE
