As both games are not considered part of the main series (as seen by their rosters being entirely excluded from the recent Popularity Poll) this documentary did not cover them in detail - I just wanted to tease them as a little wink to my Mezeporta Chads. - The pricese logic by which the relationship between regular and Daimyo Hermitaurs was determined is mostly made up by me, in-canon they were simply at some point determined to be juvenile and adult, respectively. - Plum Daimyo is not specified to be getting its coloration from a fish, merely stated to be from "its diet". - Stonefist being the result of hormonal imbalance is pure speculation on my part. - Plum Daimyo and Terra Shogun are, as far as all the games and official materials are concerned, SUBSPECIES. However, their descriptions as being discolored by dietary alterations should put them into the category of a VARIANT. There are a few such cases in the franchise, and this video series will generally assume that in-universe, the Guild simply misclassified these creatures early on and that it is now in the process of amending this. This is however not canon.

The lore does indeed specifically mention bodybags. - The name of Rajangs transformation is 闘気化 in the books, which literally translates to "Fighting Spirit State". I find that a little clumsy on the ears so I adapted it into "War Spirit Form", which is still lexically accurate. - The Rajang's War Spirit Form being managed by hormones is a guess by me, we don't get a detailed description of the biology behind it - The tail being a command node of the hormonal system is also an assumption, the lore simply states that in order to conserve energy, the tail sends "a calming signal" to the Rajang to turn off its rage. - Ever since the Iceborne Book, the Lore has made an effort to leave it ambiguous if the Furious Rajang lost the tail to injury or to intentionally ripping it off. - The history of the discovery of Akantor & Ukanlos is broadly accurate, but embellished by me. Akantor destroyed villages and needed an army to be repelled, Ukanlos appeared after an avalanche and was defeated by an unnamed hunter. - "Old Furahiyan" is a fake language made up by me. The Lore Entry for Akantor mentions a "local language", and I figured it would be fun to expand that into a full language system. - The Third God is Odibatorasu from Monster Hunter Frontier. These videos do not typically cover Frontier, but I did want to at least allude to it. - The history behind the Chameleos' appearance is embellished by me. - The history behind the discovery of its invisibility mechanism is dramatized by me, but otherwise broadly accurate. - Fucium Ore being found inside the Chameleos is 100% canon (you can even get it as a carve/drop from it) - The different Toxins shown in this video are special poisons that Chameleos has had in its various appearances, as he is actually quite different in every game he is included in. - All the names of the Toxins are made up by me. - The History of the Elder Dragon Observation Center is broadly accurate, but embellished by me: In the Lore, we do not know for sure that the Great Elder seizing Dundormas prayer hall constituted a cultural revolution, but we do know that it heralded a global shift in how monsters were dealt with - Dragon Diviners are mentioned like twice in the Lore, so they are somewhat expanded here. - This film hints at the skills of the Dragon Diviners being related to how the Twins resonate with Narwa and Ibushi in MHRise. This is not explicit canon, just an implication I found interesting enough to include. - Kushala Daora metallizing itself to death is mentioned explicitly in canon, but its a little complicated: Its attached to a graphic, and whenever that graphic gets reused in a later book, its 50/50 if the part about Kushala's death is included or not. To retain that uncertainty, this aspect of the monster is presented as speculation in this film. - The history of the establishment of the Elder Dragon Classification system is never told to us in the Lore as one story, simply described in bits and pieces. This film combines them into a sequence, with some embellishment. - We don't know what exactly makes Elder Dragon blood special. - New World Individuals being older is presented as an in-universe theory, and is not considered confirmed. - I call Teostra and Lunastra collectively "Flame Dragons" but that's just the title they have in some of the games. As far as the lore goes, they don'thave a bespoke species name. - "Flame Shroud" and "Blast Shroud" are names made up by me. The Blast Shroud does have an official name ("Dispersing State") but I chose to change it. - "Supernova" and "Hell Flare" are the official names of their ultimate attacks, as described in MHW Complete Works. - Which of the two dragons is more aggressive than the other has changed across games, so this film tries to keep that variability intact. - The Hunter's Guild being a collective of multiple semi-independent organizations is mostly canon, it is established that there are multiple Hunter's Guilds that are often collectively called "The Guild". - While it isn't ever addressed in-canon, it is implied numerous times that there are multiple ancient civilizations and not just one. - The plants on the back of a Yama Tsukami being imbued with the same energy as Elder Dragon Blood is an assumption by me: In the Lore, they are stated to simply be "empowered".
@@Oceaniz also you originally said you wouldn't do the forbidden monsters so the question is what will you count as forbidden monsters cause safi'jiiva technically isn't one of them so could there be an possibility of one day a documentary based solely on them could exist in this new ecology series since it would make sense to have them separated from the normal monsters
With all the insane monsters the Frontier Hunters fight, wouldn’t be surprised if somebody in the guild saw them as a treasure trove of knowledge to document.
@@Oceaniz Man, I always imagine you trying to explain that Nuclear Red Diablos guy (dont know this official name) 😂 That being said, on a more serious note, I always imagined you'd talk about frontier in a "Tavern" setting, a regular hunter registering his days like in Rise's video registering the "Fisherman tales" an old frontier hunter is telling him, only to discover somehow at the end they may be true
Frontier’s canonicity is a point of contention for some, but I believe there are still many stories to be told in the libraries of Mezaporta and its respective hunters. Besides, aren’t we all weird in some manner or another?
As for the Tigrex, i would suggest that the wing membranes still serve a role in thermoregulation. Such a large active predator would probably have issues with overheating, so perhaps there is some mechanism that cools its blood as it passes through the wings. Maybe it has a high body temp naturally but pushing blood through the wings and "exposing it" to air temp cools the blood down
Another thing I’ve thought about is what if the membrane is more useful for young Tigrex. Being a bit more developed for gliding to aid in hunting and traversing, especially since young Tigrex lack the raw power of the adults. With this ability fading out as they get older in favor of stronger forelimbs.
@@kennethsatria6607yeah, so any time we talk about large surfaces on animals like this we’re going to run into this problem, because it kind of works both ways? It sort of depends. In a hot but otherwise windy environment, large surfaces like these can be used for cooling, which is an actual phenomenon we’ve observed in nature. Thing is, any sufficiently large surface can also serve as a big solar panel, so it’s conceivable that in some cases they can help absorb sunlight and increase warmth. In practice, this pretty much doesn’t work. At best you might get something near a net neutral, but when you consider that the cold is always worse at night, the whole idea falls apart. But there is a simpler explanation. We don’t know exactly how they came to evolve in the first place, but we do know that we’re operating on a loose approximation of evolutionary principles. And, at least to me, their wings have always seemed to be largely vestigial. They don’t really serve a purpose anymore, but when one considers that it has both a need to be warm, in its environment, and capable of good cooling, during intense activity, it’s at least conceivable that they’re not a net negative overall. We see otherwise negative traits pop up in nature, so it’s not lacking a basis in reality.
It may be a far shot but what if the Tigrex uses his wings for... breathing? A body like his does not only need a lot of blood running at the right temperature, but also a lot of oxygen. His Lungs are powerfull indeed. No question. But what if it uses the membrane just to exhale? To get rid of excess carbon dioxide? Just a random thought of a random Hunter ;D
I always loved Chameleos but that bit explaining its potential threat level is something that catapulted my love for it even further. The idea that one of the goofiest elder dragons and monsters in general at a whim could wipe out villages silently if it really wanted to is *terrifying* .
Chameleos is in EVERY Monster Hunter game, and doesn't even attack anyone in some of them, he's truly chill. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if Chameleos is one of the most successful Elder Dragons; we just don't see them.
@@justsomejerseydevilwithint4606 yes, Chameleos being in every game is as iconic as Kezhu's theme being such a trascendental banger that it consistently breaks the 4th wall, and keeps playing IRL even after the hunt.
Oceaniz, I’ve just gotta say man, absolutely bravo. Love the work you’ve done with these videos both as a scientist, a monster hunter fan, and more personally, someone who struggles with insomnia. Your videos are both an INCREDIBLY interesting watch and also a majestic experience to drift away to in sleep, one of the few that CAN help me sleep. Cheers, and thanks for all your hard work! Can’t wait to see what’s next from you!
These big videos genuinely keep getting better every time, well worth the wait. My favourite parts were: 1. Crabs 2. Tigrex 3. Monkeys But every single part was interesting. Take your time making the next one.
I have ADHD but you somehow managed again to make me watch an entire multiple hours long video. This is absurdly impressive. Your videos, both visuals and narrative, are always a great watch that just somehow get me hooked every single time. Amazing work as always!
The sheer mention of rajang's powerful immune system just had me kick into fight or flight mode due to legends sprout about during the frenzy epidemic.
Great video! I noticed at around 1:47:39 that the Tigrex would flap up its wings when it roars. Perhaps they use their underdeveloped wings as a sort of soundboard to increase the range and power of their roars in combat. That's just what I've noticed though.
Five entire hours, wow. This is going to be a lovely way to relax on the bus for the next few days. So glad you’ve been making these, it’s one of my favorite series, to be entirely honest. Thank you very much for all your hard work!
as someone that started with world and only recently branched out properly into the older games (also rise) these videos have honestly become my favorite monster hunter content out there second only to the actual games themselves. your incredible creativity is on full display between how you bridge writing or continuity errors, or contextualize post-endgame content as a more personal story and less an official documentation, in accordance with their more out-there nature. I hope these videos are as much fun to make as they are to watch, this is genuinely a one of a kind series.
It is pretty ironic that in a game named ''Monster Hunter'', with how well contextualized and inserted in a believable ecosystem these so called ''Monsters'' are, they perhaps are the least Monster-y of all media, they are literally just animals going on with their lives, sometimes i feel wrong for calling them Monsters.
I'm gonna guess that the term "Monster" is largely traditional at this point. Society had been in the shadow of these creatures for so long, with such a radical shift in mentality required to assert itself against them, that even now, where the species that once heralded disaster can be dealt with and understood (mostly), they are still held above normal, less powerful animals due to their influence over how civilization developed.
it is, ironically also a series thats only slowly actually implementing actual hunting instead of just "follow its tracks and then try not to die while fighting it"
They are! I also love that within the lore of the game we only hunt them when strictly necessary and that the theme the entire series revolves around is that of balance between nature and civilization. At the same time, I'm often pissed off at the quests descriptions, which are not written with these themes in mind and are often just: "I don't like Diablos' face, please go kill a bunch of them".
@@lucianofrancesco4742 i still remember a quest description in MHTri where there was a princess who literally said “I am bored, go hunt this monster to amuse me!”
@@lucianofrancesco4742 I headcannon that the guild has a watch list of monsters that may pose a threat to humans or the ecosystem, when someone puts a request in the guild reviews it and determines if the monster has to be hunted regardless of the context of the request. So in essence if you want a monster hunter for whatever reason and that monster happens to be of interest to the guild then it just makes sense to let you pay for the hunt.
I was obsessed with that even as a kid playing Tri, those ecology videos were fascinating to me. I sucked at the game so I’d just spend hours roaming the forest outside of town, seeing how long I could survive without bringing any resources from the town, barring a bbq spit. Making my own bug nets and pickaxes, cooking my own food, gathering whetstones, just trying to live out in the woods for as long as possible.
amazing video favorite part, the fact that chameleos does not become invisible just by changing colors as a chameleon would but trough a combination of neurotoxin, color change, and vision obstruction is one fo the most creative and plausible stuff that i have seen in mh
Fun fact in the older games poison disabled teostra's aura as well not just kushala. It's likely it's weak to poison but more resiliant than kushala due to this. it's why going for chameleos first is always reccomended.
The Rajang section got me thinking, Could the selection pressures on the already rare Kirin led to them selecting for smaller horns? Like how there’s elephants that are growing smaller tusks because humans keep killing all the big tusk ones. How would this affect Rajang if their path to adulthood suddenly ceases to be? Do they start trying other thunder monsters? Kill a Zinorge and eat it’s bug symbiotes?
I like how you split the gens of games into periods of research, also trying to explain why lunastra was village only and thus single player was nice too
I absolutely adore these kinds of videos-they’re so relaxing and interesting, but I feel like I can never find any. When I do, it’s like a hidden gem to me, so thank you
HUGE respect for you making these incredible videos, you can feel the effort put into them. make sure to take care of yourself, you're doing great work
Nothing gets me excited for more Monster Hunter like your videos. Playing with friends got me into the franchise but you introduced me to my favorite aspect of the series, one that capitalized on my love for nature and science. So thank you for all your incredible work.
👏👏This was such a fun listen, amazing work! The amount of work done here must be appreciated; I cannot wait to see what else you come with. Content like this need to be more normal on youtube.
Wake up, Oceaniz cooked, and this time more than ever! 5 fcking hours of Monster biology and lore??? Cant wait to finish work to return home, lock myself in my room and watch this masterpiece all at once😍😍😍
I absolutely love waiting for a new video from you to get a wonderfully made documentary. It really makes waiting worth it. Keep up this amazing work man.
Honestly shocked when I checked your channel and saw that instead on posting the other second gen videos you just compiled them with the existing parts. Not complaining, I love a good 5 hour ecological binge and this was a lovely surprise
The new Handler in Wilds is cute but can I have Oceaniz as my Handler? Id love to just ride out in the field with him explaining monsters and plants to me
4:19:40 According to all known laws of aviation, there's no way a Kushala Daora should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat, metal body off the ground. The Kushala, of course, flies anyway. Because elder dragons don't care what humans think is possible.
Man what a Video, this is why I love Monster Hunter, so much lore to the series. I also love how you cover the differences between the Old and New World .
I remember the first time i encountered a Tigrex on World. We locked eyes, he roared at me and imidiately i forgot all i had learned and started running 😂
Wow! That was timing! I just finished your First Generation Documentary and enjoyed it by a lot and now I see the next one has just been uploaded :D OMG Thank you for this. This is awesome!
Video documentaries like this are what make it so enriching to be a fan of Monster Hunter. While there is always the underlying rules that games should be fun before anything else - which does still apply to the games - there is something so beautiful when a community for a series is able to delve so much more into the lore of these worlds, making them that much more believable and living. Some of it maybe heresay and fairy tales, but the explicable existences of these animals, natural or otherwise, is what makes Monster Hunter stand out so much amongst its contemporaries. Even if you are a person that prefers the act of hunting over ecology, such as myself, you have to give immense respect to the work that not only goes into making these creatures feel larger than life, but part of a natural world that is all their own. This is a wonderfully made video Oceaniz, thank you for giving us this nature documentary from the Guild. And I look forward to further studies from other generations of guild research and documentation.
Just finished IT WAS SO GOOD I LOVED THIS I love these big lore/ecology videos, I love the embellishment too it brings a nice narrative ! You are a really good storyteller
Kinda surprising that Espinas wasnt included, given how he is now a canon monster and frontier is technically 2nd gen and is also one of the few frontier monsters that actually has some decent lore on him
The reason probably because Espinas wasn’t introduced in a mainline game until 5th Gen (Sunbreak specifically). Once we get to that Gen with this series I’m sure we’ll get an episode on it.
Well, Espinas goes to Mainline in Gen 5, so we probably get it in Gen 5. Tbh I am more surprised there is no Lavasioth here. Or maybe it was covered in Plesioth episode?
2:58:15 by this measure Deviljho most of all, and perhaps a few other monsters should be classed as Elder Dragons. But I believe the defining trait that makes a monster an Elder Dragon is the devastation it brings not by its actions, but by the calamity of its very presence in an area. That just by being there, a Kushala will cause hurricanes and gales. That the area around a Teostra will ignite just because of its body temperature.
While that is a good criteria, that doesn't cover everything. Yama, Nergi, Malzeno, Valtrax, and even the likes of Dalamadur and Gog don't cause disruptions or disaster by their mere presence. They have to be active and do something.
Like the earlier person said, that doesn't really cover everything. I would say that the requirements of being classified as an elder dragon is the possession of some kind of unexplainable ability that seems much closer to magic than science. They don't really have to be overwhelmingly powerful- You could place a few specific non-elders in a fight against kirin or chameleos and expect the non-elders to win confidently. But while those strongest non-elders like Bazelgeuse, Rajang, Deviljho, etc achieve their power through believable biological features such as simple immense strength, the elders get their power by just defying logic, whether that's by generating ridiculous amounts of electricity out of nowhere, having a literal engine in their chest, going invisible, absorbing minerals to form unbreakable armor on their skin, regenerating from a single scale, etc.
I believe that Shen Gaoren could be somewhat aquatic like normal crabs but due to its size it must have deep sea gigantism or it evolved its size for a unknown reason but that’s my speculation
I don't think we know where their natural habitat is (I don't, at the very least) nor what their competitors are, so it could be that the biggest of the species survived longer than smaller members.
@@Br0ck3nRealities True, but if it id indeed a Deep Sea Creature, one of its competitor and may have likely been predator is probably an Abyssal Lagiacruz or even a Ceadeus.
It's finally here...half the generation features more awesome monsters and the other going deep into the lore of the Elder Dragons! Your dedication to Monster Hunter research would make the guild proud of your efforts....and I'm proud to have watched your progress thus far.
I recently found your channel and I have been loving listening to your videos throughout the day! Not only has it gotten me reinvested in MH, but it’s deepened my respect for how much info is available if you just pay attention/do a little digging. Thanks for the content!
I love these videos Oceaniz does, been watching and rewatching them for a few years, now XD Many thanks for these excellent analyses of Monster Hunter!
1:43:17 I know this is probably from a kore booo or something, but it's extremely funny when paired with the knowledge that around half of Tigrex' cutscenes involve it attempting an ambush
DId your All for one: image of evil video get taken down? will you reuplaod it in the future maybe? i really liked your analysis of him and its a shame if the video gets lost forever
Hey man love your videos, would you ever consider putting your more long form content on Spotify as a podcast? I’m not sure if that’s allowed but I’d love to be able to listen on the go!
This is such an interesting project! As a spec. Biologist, I’d love to work on something like this myself. Maybe one day I will. The only criticism I have that hasn’t been said by other people, is that genuses is not the proper (or at least not the typically used) term. The term you’ll usually see is genera.
I like how in many of these cases the guild doesn't believe the myths or rumors. Like, my brother in Gog: Khezu exists. Most of these aren't nearly as weird as that.
Hey ocean man, were you ever planning to release these videos individually? Because clearly all of these are videos of their own so why weren’t they released separately in the months following hypnoc instead of only being in this mega collection?
I was! I made an announcement a few months ago but basically, I got sick pretty badly in late 2023 and wasn't gonna be able to work on the series consistently. So I decided to make it into one big project to work on rather than 11 small ones, that way there was only one unpredictable release date to worry about :D
Love this series and hope to see it continue! Must say I’d be curious to see how long the 5th Gen episode would be given how many new monsters were introduced (with both Alatreon and Fatalis both in and out of universe being talked about more openly as well)

- Plum Daimyo is not specified to be getting its coloration from a fish, merely stated to be from "its diet".
- Stonefist being the result of hormonal imbalance is pure speculation on my part.

- Shen Gaoren are stated to see fortresses as a "threat" in the Lore, but that being because they mistake them for rivals is a hypothesis on my part.
- Bullfango's Mindmap is an extension on my part of a few bits we get of how their minds work: They are stated to be aggressive towards things they dont recognize while being very chill and decisive about things they do recognize.
- Tigrex fossils being originally thought to be from juvenile Wyvern Rex is made up by me for flavour.
- A lot of the "history" of discovery is embellished: We know roughly how the Guild felt about the Tigrex, that it was discovered near Pokke and that Molten Tigrex' discovery was based on longstanding rumors and traces, and that it shocked the Guild.
- "Viosonic System" is a name I made up for what the canon calls the Tigrex' "Roar Sac" or "Roar Pouch". I wanted a name that more directly expressed that this is not one organ but rather an umbrella term for a number of adaptations.
- Brute Tigrex' color variation is explicity stated in the lore numerous times, but we don't really see in within any one game - it is mostly used to explain why it looks so different across multiple different games.
- The "Stuck in a Volcano" Evolution of B. Tigrex is a hypothesis on my part - each singular step of this evolution is described in the lore like that, but they are not given any comprehensive timescale or relation as is done in this film.
- The connection between Molten Tigrex' gigantism gene (which is explicitly established in the lore) and Grimclaw's size is not pointed out in any official material, its an assumption on my part.
- The exact history of the discovery of Congalala and Blangonga and their subspecies is embellished by me.
- The mushroom based regional variations of Congalala are mentioned in the books, but to my knowledge they are not ever distinctly shown in any of the games.
- It isn't specified how a Blango becomes a Blangonga, it being tied to a hormonal rush is an assumption by me.
- The evolutionary history of the Copper Blangonga presented here is an embellished version of a few details we get in the canon.
- The discovery of the Rajang as described in this video is a more direct version of the story we get in bits across multiple books. The lore does indeed specifically mention bodybags.
- The name of Rajangs transformation is 闘気化 in the books, which literally translates to "Fighting Spirit State". I find that a little clumsy on the ears so I adapted it into "War Spirit Form", which is still lexically accurate.
- The Rajang's War Spirit Form being managed by hormones is a guess by me, we don't get a detailed description of the biology behind it
- The tail being a command node of the hormonal system is also an assumption, the lore simply states that in order to conserve energy, the tail sends "a calming signal" to the Rajang to turn off its rage.
- Ever since the Iceborne Book, the Lore has made an effort to leave it ambiguous if the Furious Rajang lost the tail to injury or to intentionally ripping it off.
- The history of the discovery of Akantor & Ukanlos is broadly accurate, but embellished by me. Akantor destroyed villages and needed an army to be repelled, Ukanlos appeared after an avalanche and was defeated by an unnamed hunter.
- "Old Furahiyan" is a fake language made up by me. The Lore Entry for Akantor mentions a "local language", and I figured it would be fun to expand that into a full language system.
- The Third God is Odibatorasu from Monster Hunter Frontier. These videos do not typically cover Frontier, but I did want to at least allude to it.
- The history behind the Chameleos' appearance is embellished by me.
- The history behind the discovery of its invisibility mechanism is dramatized by me, but otherwise broadly accurate.
- Fucium Ore being found inside the Chameleos is 100% canon (you can even get it as a carve/drop from it)
- The different Toxins shown in this video are special poisons that Chameleos has had in its various appearances, as he is actually quite different in every game he is included in.
- All the names of the Toxins are made up by me.
- The History of the Elder Dragon Observation Center is broadly accurate, but embellished by me: In the Lore, we do not know for sure that the Great Elder seizing Dundormas prayer hall constituted a cultural revolution, but we do know that it heralded a global shift in how monsters were dealt with
- Dragon Diviners are mentioned like twice in the Lore, so they are somewhat expanded here.
- This film hints at the skills of the Dragon Diviners being related to how the Twins resonate with Narwa and Ibushi in MHRise. This is not explicit canon, just an implication I found interesting enough to include.
- Kushala Daora metallizing itself to death is mentioned explicitly in canon, but its a little complicated: Its attached to a graphic, and whenever that graphic gets reused in a later book, its 50/50 if the part about Kushala's death is included or not. To retain that uncertainty, this aspect of the monster is presented as speculation in this film.
- The history of the establishment of the Elder Dragon Classification system is never told to us in the Lore as one story, simply described in bits and pieces. This film combines them into a sequence, with some embellishment.
- We don't know what exactly makes Elder Dragon blood special.
- New World Individuals being older is presented as an in-universe theory, and is not considered confirmed.
- I call Teostra and Lunastra collectively "Flame Dragons" but that's just the title they have in some of the games. As far as the lore goes, they don'thave a bespoke species name.
- "Flame Shroud" and "Blast Shroud" are names made up by me. The Blast Shroud does have an official name ("Dispersing State") but I chose to change it.
- "Supernova" and "Hell Flare" are the official names of their ultimate attacks, as described in MHW Complete Works.
- Which of the two dragons is more aggressive than the other has changed across games, so this film tries to keep that variability intact.
- The Hunter's Guild being a collective of multiple semi-independent organizations is mostly canon, it is established that there are multiple Hunter's Guilds that are often collectively called "The Guild".
- While it isn't ever addressed in-canon, it is implied numerous times that there are multiple ancient civilizations and not just one.
- The plants on the back of a Yama Tsukami being imbued with the same energy as Elder Dragon Blood is an assumption by me: In the Lore, they are stated to simply be "empowered".
Will there be a documentary on the third gen?
@@deanastephensosborne5604Yes, but first I rest ;D
@@Oceaniz okay
@@Oceaniz also you originally said you wouldn't do the forbidden monsters so the question is what will you count as forbidden monsters cause safi'jiiva technically isn't one of them so could there be an possibility of one day a documentary based solely on them could exist in this new ecology series since it would make sense to have them separated from the normal monsters
In your phylogeny document, could you add Zamites as the juvenile of Zamtrios like you did with every other monster that has them?
I love the running joke that the main guild just... ignores the Frontier hunters because they're weird and bring back all these weird stories. XD
With all the insane monsters the Frontier Hunters fight, wouldn’t be surprised if somebody in the guild saw them as a treasure trove of knowledge to document.
Someone braver (and more fluent in japanese) than me is gonna have to handle MHFrontier Ecology for now hahaha
@@Oceaniz Man, I always imagine you trying to explain that Nuclear Red Diablos guy (dont know this official name) 😂
That being said, on a more serious note, I always imagined you'd talk about frontier in a "Tavern" setting, a regular hunter registering his days like in Rise's video registering the "Fisherman tales" an old frontier hunter is telling him, only to discover somehow at the end they may be true
@@Kato756 i think you mean Varusaburosuand and as interesting as this Monster is, i realy wish we could get a video about Voljang.
Frontier’s canonicity is a point of contention for some, but I believe there are still many stories to be told in the libraries of Mezaporta and its respective hunters. Besides, aren’t we all weird in some manner or another?
As for the Tigrex, i would suggest that the wing membranes still serve a role in thermoregulation. Such a large active predator would probably have issues with overheating, so perhaps there is some mechanism that cools its blood as it passes through the wings. Maybe it has a high body temp naturally but pushing blood through the wings and "exposing it" to air temp cools the blood down
Another thing I’ve thought about is what if the membrane is more useful for young Tigrex. Being a bit more developed for gliding to aid in hunting and traversing, especially since young Tigrex lack the raw power of the adults. With this ability fading out as they get older in favor of stronger forelimbs.
Thing is though how then would they be so adapted to cold environments?
@@kennethsatria6607yeah, so any time we talk about large surfaces on animals like this we’re going to run into this problem, because it kind of works both ways? It sort of depends. In a hot but otherwise windy environment, large surfaces like these can be used for cooling, which is an actual phenomenon we’ve observed in nature. Thing is, any sufficiently large surface can also serve as a big solar panel, so it’s conceivable that in some cases they can help absorb sunlight and increase warmth. In practice, this pretty much doesn’t work. At best you might get something near a net neutral, but when you consider that the cold is always worse at night, the whole idea falls apart.
But there is a simpler explanation. We don’t know exactly how they came to evolve in the first place, but we do know that we’re operating on a loose approximation of evolutionary principles. And, at least to me, their wings have always seemed to be largely vestigial. They don’t really serve a purpose anymore, but when one considers that it has both a need to be warm, in its environment, and capable of good cooling, during intense activity, it’s at least conceivable that they’re not a net negative overall. We see otherwise negative traits pop up in nature, so it’s not lacking a basis in reality.
It may be a far shot but what if the Tigrex uses his wings for... breathing? A body like his does not only need a lot of blood running at the right temperature, but also a lot of oxygen. His Lungs are powerfull indeed. No question. But what if it uses the membrane just to exhale? To get rid of excess carbon dioxide?
Just a random thought of a random Hunter ;D
I always loved Chameleos but that bit explaining its potential threat level is something that catapulted my love for it even further. The idea that one of the goofiest elder dragons and monsters in general at a whim could wipe out villages silently if it really wanted to is *terrifying* .
Sometimes, the funny ones can be the most dangerous.
(Megalovania intensifies)
Bro SAME ❤
Chameleos is in EVERY Monster Hunter game, and doesn't even attack anyone in some of them, he's truly chill. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if Chameleos is one of the most successful Elder Dragons; we just don't see them.
@@justsomejerseydevilwithint4606world was my favorite version of chameleos
@@justsomejerseydevilwithint4606 yes, Chameleos being in every game is as iconic as Kezhu's theme being such a trascendental banger that it consistently breaks the 4th wall, and keeps playing IRL even after the hunt.
Oceaniz, I’ve just gotta say man, absolutely bravo. Love the work you’ve done with these videos both as a scientist, a monster hunter fan, and more personally, someone who struggles with insomnia. Your videos are both an INCREDIBLY interesting watch and also a majestic experience to drift away to in sleep, one of the few that CAN help me sleep. Cheers, and thanks for all your hard work! Can’t wait to see what’s next from you!
That is great to hear, thank you so much! I'm glad that my stuff can help you, if even a little :D
I'm on dark mode and I couldn't read your comment... How do you do this?
FIVE HOURS?! Oh, we are spoiled today, folks.
HUNTERS ASSEMBLE!!!
@@Emird143 Break out the Well-Done Steaks and Dash Juice!
This explains why we haven’t seen more episodes since winter, but it is well worth the wait with what this pertains
These big videos genuinely keep getting better every time, well worth the wait.
My favourite parts were:
1. Crabs
2. Tigrex
3. Monkeys
But every single part was interesting.
Take your time making the next one.
Ah i see, fan of unconditional violence.
Tonight on Monster Hunter Ecology: Monke get Angy, a Squid decides it can fly, and All Hail our Mighty Crab Overlords!
I have ADHD but you somehow managed again to make me watch an entire multiple hours long video. This is absurdly impressive. Your videos, both visuals and narrative, are always a great watch that just somehow get me hooked every single time. Amazing work as always!
The sheer mention of rajang's powerful immune system just had me kick into fight or flight mode due to legends sprout about during the frenzy epidemic.
Oceaniz: Kushala Daoras susceptibility to poison comes from its weak immune system.
Me who's immunosuppressed: HE'S JUST LIKE ME FR FR
Oh to be a storm dragon
Can you shoot out gusts of wind, though? Asking for a friend
@@Tyranid_Hive_Mind
Depends if they eat a lot of beans
Great video! I noticed at around 1:47:39 that the Tigrex would flap up its wings when it roars. Perhaps they use their underdeveloped wings as a sort of soundboard to increase the range and power of their roars in combat. That's just what I've noticed though.
No way you drop this today. I still havnt finished the first one. These videos have been my sleeping videos. Thank you
Perfect timing as the Monster Hunter Wilds hype ramps up!
My fav parts are narga, tigrex And kushala
Five entire hours, wow. This is going to be a lovely way to relax on the bus for the next few days.
So glad you’ve been making these, it’s one of my favorite series, to be entirely honest.
Thank you very much for all your hard work!
as someone that started with world and only recently branched out properly into the older games (also rise) these videos have honestly become my favorite monster hunter content out there second only to the actual games themselves. your incredible creativity is on full display between how you bridge writing or continuity errors, or contextualize post-endgame content as a more personal story and less an official documentation, in accordance with their more out-there nature. I hope these videos are as much fun to make as they are to watch, this is genuinely a one of a kind series.
It is pretty ironic that in a game named ''Monster Hunter'', with how well contextualized and inserted in a believable ecosystem these so called ''Monsters'' are, they perhaps are the least Monster-y of all media, they are literally just animals going on with their lives, sometimes i feel wrong for calling them Monsters.
I'm gonna guess that the term "Monster" is largely traditional at this point. Society had been in the shadow of these creatures for so long, with such a radical shift in mentality required to assert itself against them, that even now, where the species that once heralded disaster can be dealt with and understood (mostly), they are still held above normal, less powerful animals due to their influence over how civilization developed.
it is, ironically also a series thats only slowly actually implementing actual hunting instead of just "follow its tracks and then try not to die while fighting it"
They are!
I also love that within the lore of the game we only hunt them when strictly necessary and that the theme the entire series revolves around is that of balance between nature and civilization.
At the same time, I'm often pissed off at the quests descriptions, which are not written with these themes in mind and are often just: "I don't like Diablos' face, please go kill a bunch of them".
@@lucianofrancesco4742 i still remember a quest description in MHTri where there was a princess who literally said “I am bored, go hunt this monster to amuse me!”
@@lucianofrancesco4742
I headcannon that the guild has a watch list of monsters that may pose a threat to humans or the ecosystem, when someone puts a request in the guild reviews it and determines if the monster has to be hunted regardless of the context of the request.
So in essence if you want a monster hunter for whatever reason and that monster happens to be of interest to the guild then it just makes sense to let you pay for the hunt.
Chameleos seems to be the monster version of: "if friend shaped, why not friend?"
The neurotoxic mist swiftly approaching my location: 😉😘😱☠️⚰️
I love that the MH team put so much thought and detail into the monsters that we can get hours of content on their behaviors alone.
I was obsessed with that even as a kid playing Tri, those ecology videos were fascinating to me. I sucked at the game so I’d just spend hours roaming the forest outside of town, seeing how long I could survive without bringing any resources from the town, barring a bbq spit. Making my own bug nets and pickaxes, cooking my own food, gathering whetstones, just trying to live out in the woods for as long as possible.
amazing video
favorite part, the fact that chameleos does not become invisible just by changing colors as a chameleon would but trough a combination of neurotoxin, color change, and vision obstruction is one fo the most creative and plausible stuff that i have seen in mh
Fun fact in the older games poison disabled teostra's aura as well not just kushala. It's likely it's weak to poison but more resiliant than kushala due to this. it's why going for chameleos first is always reccomended.
The Rajang section got me thinking, Could the selection pressures on the already rare Kirin led to them selecting for smaller horns? Like how there’s elephants that are growing smaller tusks because humans keep killing all the big tusk ones. How would this affect Rajang if their path to adulthood suddenly ceases to be? Do they start trying other thunder monsters? Kill a Zinorge and eat it’s bug symbiotes?
Just eat the whole kirin. There’s prolly some lightning juice in the whole horse
@@MarsPotatoes doesn't have the crunchy goodness of the horn, though
@@Tyranid_Hive_Mind true, times be tough for a picky eater rajang
OMG, such a nice b-day present! Thank you Mr. Oceaniz ecology master, sir!
Happy birthday, and thanks for watching!
I like how you split the gens of games into periods of research, also trying to explain why lunastra was village only and thus single player was nice too
I absolutely adore these kinds of videos-they’re so relaxing and interesting, but I feel like I can never find any. When I do, it’s like a hidden gem to me, so thank you
Okay that Chameleos part was pretty funny, clearly written like a informative comedy, nice
I love how at 40:45 some random Rajang sprints through the scene in the rush of getting... I dunno, a Kirin or so.
Chameleos are in every Monster Hunter game, you just can't see them in some games.
HUGE respect for you making these incredible videos, you can feel the effort put into them. make sure to take care of yourself, you're doing great work
Nothing gets me excited for more Monster Hunter like your videos. Playing with friends got me into the franchise but you introduced me to my favorite aspect of the series, one that capitalized on my love for nature and science. So thank you for all your incredible work.
👏👏This was such a fun listen, amazing work! The amount of work done here must be appreciated; I cannot wait to see what else you come with. Content like this need to be more normal on youtube.
Thank you for your support!
You are genuinely one of the best content creators out there
Wake up, Oceaniz cooked, and this time more than ever! 5 fcking hours of Monster biology and lore??? Cant wait to finish work to return home, lock myself in my room and watch this masterpiece all at once😍😍😍
I absolutely love waiting for a new video from you to get a wonderfully made documentary. It really makes waiting worth it. Keep up this amazing work man.
Other Elder dragons: walking catastrophies
Chameleos: "You want some drugs, kid?"
We appreciate all of your work
Honestly shocked when I checked your channel and saw that instead on posting the other second gen videos you just compiled them with the existing parts. Not complaining, I love a good 5 hour ecological binge and this was a lovely surprise
"Long ass youtube video about niche interest" my beloved
The new Handler in Wilds is cute but can I have Oceaniz as my Handler? Id love to just ride out in the field with him explaining monsters and plants to me
Monster hunter documentaries might be a small niche, but holy shit im into it, this is unironically one of my favourite videos on the internet
4:19:40
According to all known laws of aviation, there's no way a Kushala Daora should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat, metal body off the ground. The Kushala, of course, flies anyway. Because elder dragons don't care what humans think is possible.
These long documentaries are awesome! Your hardwork is always appreciated 😊😊😊😊😊
Man what a Video, this is why I love Monster Hunter, so much lore to the series. I also love how you cover the differences between the Old and New World .
My favorite entry was the Great Ape especially the part is where the Blango’s intelligence is just as unnerving as an Elder Dragon’s power.
I remember the first time i encountered a Tigrex on World. We locked eyes, he roared at me and imidiately i forgot all i had learned and started running 😂
you using rayman and king's field music makes me appreciate these videos so much more, they add alot
Wow! That was timing! I just finished your First Generation Documentary and enjoyed it by a lot and now I see the next one has just been uploaded :D OMG Thank you for this. This is awesome!
Video documentaries like this are what make it so enriching to be a fan of Monster Hunter. While there is always the underlying rules that games should be fun before anything else - which does still apply to the games - there is something so beautiful when a community for a series is able to delve so much more into the lore of these worlds, making them that much more believable and living. Some of it maybe heresay and fairy tales, but the explicable existences of these animals, natural or otherwise, is what makes Monster Hunter stand out so much amongst its contemporaries. Even if you are a person that prefers the act of hunting over ecology, such as myself, you have to give immense respect to the work that not only goes into making these creatures feel larger than life, but part of a natural world that is all their own. This is a wonderfully made video Oceaniz, thank you for giving us this nature documentary from the Guild. And I look forward to further studies from other generations of guild research and documentation.
Just finished IT WAS SO GOOD I LOVED THIS
I love these big lore/ecology videos, I love the embellishment too it brings a nice narrative ! You are a really good storyteller
Kinda surprising that Espinas wasnt included, given how he is now a canon monster and frontier is technically 2nd gen and is also one of the few frontier monsters that actually has some decent lore on him
The reason probably because Espinas wasn’t introduced in a mainline game until 5th Gen (Sunbreak specifically).
Once we get to that Gen with this series I’m sure we’ll get an episode on it.
Well, Espinas goes to Mainline in Gen 5, so we probably get it in Gen 5.
Tbh I am more surprised there is no Lavasioth here. Or maybe it was covered in Plesioth episode?
@@chiefbawor_thegr8966 I don't think it was but I could be wrong.
2:58:15 by this measure Deviljho most of all, and perhaps a few other monsters should be classed as Elder Dragons. But I believe the defining trait that makes a monster an Elder Dragon is the devastation it brings not by its actions, but by the calamity of its very presence in an area. That just by being there, a Kushala will cause hurricanes and gales. That the area around a Teostra will ignite just because of its body temperature.
While that is a good criteria, that doesn't cover everything. Yama, Nergi, Malzeno, Valtrax, and even the likes of Dalamadur and Gog don't cause disruptions or disaster by their mere presence. They have to be active and do something.
@@blackmark2899 fair nuff i spose.
Like the earlier person said, that doesn't really cover everything. I would say that the requirements of being classified as an elder dragon is the possession of some kind of unexplainable ability that seems much closer to magic than science. They don't really have to be overwhelmingly powerful- You could place a few specific non-elders in a fight against kirin or chameleos and expect the non-elders to win confidently. But while those strongest non-elders like Bazelgeuse, Rajang, Deviljho, etc achieve their power through believable biological features such as simple immense strength, the elders get their power by just defying logic, whether that's by generating ridiculous amounts of electricity out of nowhere, having a literal engine in their chest, going invisible, absorbing minerals to form unbreakable armor on their skin, regenerating from a single scale, etc.
I believe that Shen Gaoren could be somewhat aquatic like normal crabs but due to its size it must have deep sea gigantism or it evolved its size for a unknown reason but that’s my speculation
I don't think we know where their natural habitat is (I don't, at the very least) nor what their competitors are, so it could be that the biggest of the species survived longer than smaller members.
@@Br0ck3nRealities True, but if it id indeed a Deep Sea Creature, one of its competitor and may have likely been predator is probably an Abyssal Lagiacruz or even a Ceadeus.
@@chiefbawor_thegr8966 That's true. Those would both be better dealt with at larger sizes
It's finally here...half the generation features more awesome monsters and the other going deep into the lore of the Elder Dragons! Your dedication to Monster Hunter research would make the guild proud of your efforts....and I'm proud to have watched your progress thus far.
I recently found your channel and I have been loving listening to your videos throughout the day! Not only has it gotten me reinvested in MH, but it’s deepened my respect for how much info is available if you just pay attention/do a little digging. Thanks for the content!
I love these videos Oceaniz does, been watching and rewatching them for a few years, now XD
Many thanks for these excellent analyses of Monster Hunter!
I love that we categorise the monsters the same as spiders, calling each new world and old world
We do the same thing for monkeys tbf
Grab your popcorn, we're about to watch a documentary for the ages!
Been watching your ecology series and enjoying every minute of it. Amazing work!
Finally, Oceaniz gives us crabs.
Straight up making it feel as real as possible. Loving this content.
I’ve missed seeing blangos. I quite like them over conga or even rajang.
It'd be SO COOL if we could get a MH game set in the LOOOOONG past, where we hunt the ancient ancestors of the monsters we know and love.
I am rewatching EVERYTHING in anticipation for Monster Hunter Wilds! Can’t wait!
Just when i was going to bed i get another banger to sleep to, i appreciate it my guy
1:43:17 I know this is probably from a kore booo or something, but it's extremely funny when paired with the knowledge that around half of Tigrex' cutscenes involve it attempting an ambush
This is worth the long wait. Appreciate the work you done for this vid ❤
After watching this for the over the past 2 days. This is a Masterpiece of a Video.
I absolutely love these documentary’s. TYSM for making them!
This is so well detailed it has so many elements from real world biology. You out did yourself.
DId your All for one: image of evil video get taken down? will you reuplaod it in the future maybe? i really liked your analysis of him and its a shame if the video gets lost forever
4:00:00 if a chameleos covers my village in concentrated skin melting poison, ima be pissed
What an insightful and entertaining video! Simply incredible!
YAAAAAAAAAAY IT'S HERE
I WAITED SO LONG FOR THIS THANKS SO MUCH
im baked as HELL rn this is gonna go fucking insane
OH MY MY HOW I'M GOING TO ENJOY THIS MASTERPIECE 🔥🔥🔥
Hey man love your videos, would you ever consider putting your more long form content on Spotify as a podcast? I’m not sure if that’s allowed but I’d love to be able to listen on the go!
Man, I love me some rediculously long monster hunter lore videos
And just when he was needed most, the King returned.
This is such an interesting project! As a spec. Biologist, I’d love to work on something like this myself. Maybe one day I will. The only criticism I have that hasn’t been said by other people, is that genuses is not the proper (or at least not the typically used) term. The term you’ll usually see is genera.
I have feel in love with monster hunter since Tri and learning more and more about this games world is one of the few things I actually love to do
12:23:50 I really like the habitat range map. I hope you consider doing more of them in the future (I know it's likely a lot of work, sorry)
LETS GOOOOOO!!! Thank you so much Oceaniz 🙏🏾
Banging can't wait for gen 3 lol these are great background for hunts.
Tigrex really says:
“I got no plan, I’m just HIM!”
I love this contents you're making bro.
I like how in many of these cases the guild doesn't believe the myths or rumors. Like, my brother in Gog: Khezu exists. Most of these aren't nearly as weird as that.
An off topic comment, but how did you manage to set the timescale to 0 in MH Rise?. I can only set it near it
It’s here at last, real excited to get through this. 👑
I absolutely cannot wait to see what this man does with wilds.
Absolute chad, Oceaniz.
Hey ocean man, were you ever planning to release these videos individually? Because clearly all of these are videos of their own so why weren’t they released separately in the months following hypnoc instead of only being in this mega collection?
I was! I made an announcement a few months ago but basically, I got sick pretty badly in late 2023 and wasn't gonna be able to work on the series consistently. So I decided to make it into one big project to work on rather than 11 small ones, that way there was only one unpredictable release date to worry about :D
Just what I needed after a long day
Love this series and hope to see it continue! Must say I’d be curious to see how long the 5th Gen episode would be given how many new monsters were introduced (with both Alatreon and Fatalis both in and out of universe being talked about more openly as well)
Lets go, this is what we have been waiting for!!
now we need the vespoid queen episode
Hell yeah! Vespoid!
always peak content! love to see it
I have watched every second of this without noticing, I love how have you organized and explain this incredible world, fucking astonishing really!
Damn bro have been putting in the work 💪
5 hours while I'm at work, nice.
