    The idea that the slime mold's relationship with Brachydios' skin is as a food source, along Brachydios' skin being confirmed as needing constant death and regrowth, is actually a genius reason for how the relationship between monster and slime both works now, and how it started out.
    If Brachydios's ancestor started as a swamp dwelling generalist, the layers upon layers of dead and regrowing skin layers make sense for protection from swamp parasites, similar to crocodilian scales. And from there, the slime mold just needed to take advantage of this animal giving it a slow, but consistent cycle of dead skin material to digest, and that's probably all that was needed for the relationship to begin.

      Zinogre too, his pros outweigh his cons. Just cause hes a mainstream favorite doesnt mean he should be hated. Plus we also know the two have different niches, we see Zinogre is not really as much of an apex predator and has to be on defense against Raths as he hunts smaller prey instead of other monsters.

    My personal head cannon is that Brachydios hunts like a super-sized Aye-aye/Woodpecker with it using it's fists to tap the ground trying to find things like lava tubes or buried prey by the sound of hollow spaces. Perhaps by resting their horn on the surface to "hear" the vibrations through it's skull like a reptile does since it doesn't appear to have external ears and after finding such a space applying the slime to blow it open to get to the prey inside stunning it in the process.

    I generally don't think Brachy is that bad of a Monster design wise, he looks a bit unique, but it serves to help him fill his role I think. His Slimemold actually makes a bit more sense to me after watching this video now. Ultimately it seems to help him unearth prey as you said, or bust open tough shells which it can them pry open further with it's hooked claws. I think all Brachydios needs to really flourish in an ecological sense is more Environmental interactions, and some new small monsters it can specialize in hunting using it's slimemold.

      The concept of brachy itself is not bad, but seriously, all his "slime guns" look like they were glued on him(especially if you look at his arms, the claws look very weird), and he overall looks a bit artificial. And it would be okay if he had just two pounders on the hands, but they slapped one more on his forehead, so he looks really dumb blue unicorn... I do not hate his fight in iceborne, but after tigrex, it felt kind of mid.

    I definitely agree that there should be more hand focused Brute Wyverns, and I'd argue that's the direction with the most room for variety/experimentation. Imagine, if you will, a nocturnal Brute Wyvern based on an Aye-Aye. Its signature weapon? Long, spindly arms tipped with hooked claws for hunting small prey. Could reduce the muzzle to an almost flat face, since the jaws aren't its primary hunting tool. And of course, huge creepy ass eyes to see in the dark. Would be a great nocturnal "boogeyman" role. Terrible in a fight with bigger monsters, but perfectly suited for snatching humans that wander to close to the forest's edge at night.

Theri and spinosaurus are my favorite herbivore and carnivore dinosaurs by far and yet neither have really been in monster hunter, theri especially is always depicted as the stand and fight herbivore that doesn’t take shit from anyone and that can easily be translated to monster hunter with a burly herbivore brute wyvern that lives up to the class name with aggressive attacks and a high health pool. Monster hunter could also make it the long sword or dual blade monster equivalent, just like how glav is the great sword in monster form. Or the claws could absorb elements and aliments used against it. The tail could be the important part break as this monster likely needs it for balance but it’s also the difficult part break since it always tries to face you, taking priority to targets behind it or that attack the tail

  • @dianslabbert504
    @dianslabbert504 17 годин тому +13

    Brachydios, in my opinion, is the flagship monster with the worst and least build up to its reveal and most insignificant story presence ever. It is literally just one quest.
    Before it, Rathalos, Tigrex, Kushala, Zinogre and Lagiacrus all had an overarching story and presence. NPCS revered and feared them. You would also encounter them all early, usually in a gathering quest and you'd be outmatched by them. Forced to run from them at first before finally hunting them down later.
    With Brachydios the Moga Sweetheart will mention once the guild is finding weird slime in the volcano in dialogue text box from behind her counter. Then the next Urgent you get is to hunt it. It doesn't feel like a flagship in its own debut game. Which is probably why some people thought Azure Rathalos is the flagship of 3U.
    Ivory Lagiacrus had better build up to it with the Moga Chief gradually telling you more about his exploits as a hunter in his youth and about the one that got away.

      As UHC said, the pounders themselves seem weaker than first thought against bigger monsters. The slime mold is the real killer, and my guess is the slime mold's explosive dispersal is just far stronger than Brachy's punches against things bigger than it, like Uragaan.
      On top of that, the Uragaan in Iceborne was visibly weak even before the slime mold exploded, which means it was likely injured or just a weaker individual that Brachy could finish off.

      @@TsulaAngenati2292 That makes sense to me, a young inexperienced Urgaan that the Brachy found to be easy food. Admittedly there’s probably a lot of hunters that “prove their mettle” by taking down young, inexperienced, or just generally weak monsters, but due to the size of most monsters even as adolescents or even juveniles most common folk think it’s an extremely impressive feat, to them things like an aggressive Kestedon or even a riled up popo are exceptionally dangerous to be around, nonetheless elemental monsters like tobi-kadchi. Only seasoned hunters and researchers (maybe blacksmiths too, depending on how age may affect monster part quality or durability) can really identify a monster’s age, and thus how dangerous it may or may not have been to kill. If you were a common farmer in monster hunter who’s only ever seen things like popo, aptonoth, maybe a veliprey here and there and then you see a hunter haul in a whole ass anjanath you’re gonna be impressed, even though it’s not even as heavy as the biggest popo you’ve seen it’s supposed to be impressive since it’s a predator. Then comes along a seasoned hunter and he says to the one you just saw “Maybe you should stop raiding nests like a kulu-ya-ku and try hunting something that knows how to fight back.”

    I wonder if the specialized rootling you mentioned being less likely in the volcano actually explains the origin of the horn. Maybe the horn was originally present on the ancestor species for digging around in the rocky soil of the volcanoes. The fact that it is small on baby Brachydios does potentially take away from that idea, since they are the ones who would still need to perform this behavior, but it could be argued that the young don't need to dig up the slime anymore, since they pick it up from the territorial markings of the adults

    Brachydios is the flagship monster of 3G/3U, but it wasn't on the cover of the game on copies released outside of Japan. The reason being it was thought Brachydios would look odd to western fans who were still small group at the time. So they used Azure Rathalos, banking on it being a familiar face to rope in the older fans, and because they thought its more classic dragon like appearance would attract more new players.

    I don't think the brachydios vs agnaktor fight is that outrageous. If anyone is uniquely suited to hunt agnaktors, that would be brachydios. With its thick, fire resistant armour plates, I'm pretty confident that brachy can withstand a fire laser for a short amount of time at least. Really, agnaktor's best move against brachy probably would be drilling brachy's neck or crotch from below, because I don't think any other move aside from a well placed drill peck can do much damage to brachy. Brachydios on the other hand would have plenty of chances to blast away agnaktors magma armour. Blunt impact damage is the best way to deal with rocks after all, much more effective than slashing or poking with sharp objects.

      Or, it could be a pack hunting monster with multiple classes via ontogenetic niche partioning.

      In Iceborne atleast, Brachy's arm attacks deal barely any damage to the Hunter without slime explosions, so Brachy has seemingly big but weak arms.

    But it's pretty fun to hear you talk about how Brachy couldn't work biologically,
    when I've heard so many people use him and Zinogre as "good" biological creature designs.
    Maybe it's more of a surface level looks biological, but isn't actually functional.

    I'd personally subscribe to the insectivore as a base theory as an activator function..big daddy brachi collects the mould for use. I'd like to imagine it would plant mold near insect colonies and "farm" the area similar to the diablos mythos. When the brachi needs mould it would gather some and munch on insects nearby as their enzymes serve to function as the ignitor catalyst.

    Some fun coincidences I found after some _very brief_ reading:
    Nitro compounds are often explosive and bright yellow.
    2-Nitrophenol is a tick attractant.
    Nitropentadecene is a defensive pheromone used by termites.
    3-Nitropropionic acid is produced by certain plants and fungi.
    Nitro groups are often synthessized by oxidizing amines, and amines are frequent waste products from the metabolism of protein.
    Just thought I'd share these!

    I do think Brachydios would benefit more of a design of a Ceratopsian or an Ankylosaur, still retaining the Therapod like body. If we are fortifying its sides and underbelly, the back would be a weakspot where you have to topple Brachy to have more damage.

    @rhyperiorhunter7339 13 годин тому

    The way you described Brachydios as potentially a monster being strong in front but with its backside being unarmored gave me an idea for a monster that would be the Radobaan to Brachydios' Uragaan
    It would have a horn and the fists but they would be heavily armored and could it could lock them together to form an almost indestructible shield, with its backside being more vulnerable and it's fighting style being focused on keeping its armored head and arms pointed right at the hunter, with the stance assumes when doing so, along with its punches being styles after real world boxers who similarly keep their fists in front of their face to defend against attacks (its punch attacks would be a jab, a hook, a ground scraping uppercut, and a pin styled after a clench)
    I just thought that would be interesting to double down on the punching aspect and style a monster after real world combative sports like how Tetsucabra is apparently styled after sumo wrestling

  • @Neriedar
    @Neriedar 58 хвилин тому

    On the licking of the pounders: it could act as a chemical signaling agent to the slime mold to prime or disarm(?) based on composition seeing as salivation is effected by the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system actions. The other idea could be partially digested food particles in saliva( digestion does begin in the mouth) could supplement the mold especially directly after meal consumption.

    I wonder if Brachydios’s hyper aggression and lack of environmental interaction might actually have a purpose. It could be looking for and/or trying to create a sort of “nursery environment” for its young.
    My thinking is that it could be trying to both remove potential predators and competition for its offspring, and trying to coat everything the slime could potentially feed on as thoroughly as possible so it can fully consume them quickly and die from lack of anything to feed on before the baby hatches. It’s lack of interaction with the environment could also be from it trying to minimize the amount of mold left behind so that it doesn’t outgrow the offspring and end up killing them. It’s all about trying control the environment’s slime levels and keeping them the
    best possible for a young Brachy to grow up in.
