If you go into Vaal Hazak's lair in the Rotten Vale, you'll notice that eerie orange glow in the background. That's the entrance to the Elder's Recess.
I’d like to note that in canon, most hunters don’t hunt the dodogama because he’s “cute” (not sure which event quest says this but it’s there!) Btw nice video like always ocean man!
What a stupid notion! Everything exists for the sole purpose of becoming my ridiculously gaudy and zealously brobdingnagian coat, those misshapen geckos included.
Kushalas horns controlling electromagnetism makes sense when you look at one of its only known close relatives, the Elder Dragon Rukodiora. This dragon has a similar body shape to Kushala except with much more pronounced horns that it uses as one of the only monsters in the known world to control magnetism. It’s control over magnetism alongside the duo of Ray and Lolo Gougarf being studied even led to the development of an entirely new weapon class, the Magnet Spike.
Ill throw in the concept (not mine) that ebony odogaron is not the subspecies, rather the basal species (similar to red kezhu), as it can be found everywhere. Odogaron on the other hand, might be a species of ebonys that specialized to the rotten vale, losing it dragon as it didn't need it as much, when scavenging.
Dude, when you mention Nergigante and have the theme play, chills ran down my spine. I LOVE this monster and I want it to return to many games in the future. While I do like creatures and characters that have some kind of abnormal/super ability, I just love and respect those that can compete against them with force of power and will. I want it on Sunbreak and while I am biased, I would love for Nergigante to roll up on Malzeno and the other monster (not mentioning the other big monster for those who want to remain spoiler free) and wipe the floor with them. "I see you can suck the blood of others. Suck on this!" *Buries Malzeno's head into the ground*
fucking goddamn lava fish ass hard ass bouncy ass god damn worse than juratodus ass agnaktor stealing little godamn good for nothing fish oil producing SHIT
after watching the miniseries about the making of World I think the developers would really appreciate these. I hope at least some of them have had the chance to see them. Especially Tokuda-San. He seemed really passionate about the tangibility of the fictional ecosystem he'd get a real kick out of these.
Nergigante is honestly one of my favorite elder dragons I'm glad you covered him over Teostra or say Azure rathalose. This was a super cool video Nergigante Vaal Hazaak And Zorah Magdaros are 3 of my 10 favorite elder dragons.
@@braxtonalan927 Lavasioth existed before Agnaktor, but Lavasioth originally didn't have the magma armor gimmick. Agnaktor had it first, so it was then used again for Lavasioth.
To assist the suspension of disbelief in Nergigante reproducing through spikes, I imagine its not every single spike that grows a new Nergigante, more that when they eventually obtain enough Bioenergy to form that Zygote they'd grew a special spike or group of spikes with the intent of breaking them off in a safe place to grow. Given that the New World isn't overrun with Nergigantes and you can find piles of spikes all over the place. (including outside the Recess when researching it) I doubt every single spike has a Zygote inside it as that would be energy inefficient and ecologically disastrous.
i was waiting for this video, i cant describe how much i enjoy all your vids most especially the monster hunter world ones!!! thanks for the new upload your videos are the best!
Are you going to cover the small maps that house individual monsters as a collected video? Otherwise, how else do you plan on covering Safi'Jiiva/Kulve Taroth/Shara Ishvalda?
I find it very amusing that with so many elder dragons dominating via various near or completely supernatural abilities,the Nergigantes answer to everything is: VIOLENCE
as of now, the guild has classified some non-elder dragon monsters but has elder dragon level of power. Theyre rajang, deviljho, akantor, ukanlos, and ahtal-ka Also great jaggi but idk
I love how Dodogama is literally a key species in the Elder's Recess. It feeds on the bioenergy within rock and crystal, hereby reintroducing it into the foodchain. Yet another reason to never hunt these cuters!
@@techstuff9198 Is that canon? Cause if most of the bioenergy is formed in the local ores and rocks, even dead Dodogamas can feed the predators and scavengers of the Recess like the Barnos, Brachydios, Bazel, and even Lavasioth if they die within the lava cave areas.
@@norsehorse84 I don't know if it's canon or not, I'm just using an advanced technique called Bullshitting. Also known as a Fermi Estimate, if you don't want to swear for whatever reason.
@@techstuff9198 I mean I’d think the dodogama would be able to eat another dodogama. But considering how prevalent their food source is it wouldn’t make much sense development wise to cannibalize each other.
how can the uragaan eat crystals? i know it uses its chin to crush them but how does it eat them? its chin is always in the way and it seems impossible to eat something ( same problem with radobaan )
While the recess visially.is the least interesting to me. It holds enough charm that it's more than just another volcano area. Plus the monsters, the largest conglomerate of Gajalaka I love those little pygmys and Dodo, Uragaan, and Brachy being some of my favorites especially within World this place I visit more often than even the Coral highlands. Though the Vale and Wastes are still my favorite
Ah the pain in the asses elders we love them for the epic armor and weapons we get from them and hated for the suffering and time they cause us in the massive battles we hold against them
@@ryanroswellcacho yea. Before you open Behemoth, you have to go through a story and other quests. The other monsters you brought up though are valid as to why they weren't there. The video creator did say that he had another video planned though, so perhaps that is where we will hear about the other monsters missing.
Genderless Procreation is actually fairly common in Nature - Mourning Geckos for example have populations which are entirely female and reproduce by just cloning themselves, thus being arguably genderless. It's also very common in aquatic animals like Jellyfish!
@@Oceaniz huh...you think I would know that by now at 26. So like...when you say clone does that mean like personality wise as well? Also as clone does say these geckos have social lives or are clone species pretty solitary?
@@mudshrooze Im no expert but its important to remember that "personality" is a man-made concept and that few animals really conform to it. Reptiles are especially hard to pin down as their brains just dont work like that. Mourning geckos are highly social (for gecko standards) though, so theres that.

What about Rebidiora? I know, it's a subspecies of Ruko, but still.
This documentary series makes for a great pairing with Unnatural History's ecology videos
Same thoughts these two channels are just bringing a whole new life to the monster hunter series. Especially world. I love it so much
I'd love a Monster hunter game where we also have to explore enviroments and such. As whole quests of course, unlocking the areas after this Event.
These videos are strangely calming, exciting and very informative at the same time.
"The Dodogama doesn't hunt." I'd beg to differ. I've watched one chase after a Deviljho before.
that sounds...
i don't know wether to think of the idea as cute, funny, and goofy, or if I would be teriffied
I’d say it be surprising for a normal Dodogama, understandable if it was Deviant.
Never can quite get enough of this series.
Can't wait to see him explain how the Guiding Lands works.

I like how half of the clips of the ebony odogoran is just a Deviljho beating the living shit out of it.
when the pickle invades your recording session and you just have to make the footage work hahahaha
@@Oceaniz there’s a reason I put it in the “party crasher” category of monsters alongside Bazelgeuse.
Don't play MHW, but I like biology, might have to check this out.
You need to play World
This series has become the definitive MHW ecology series. It's an absolute joy to watch!
As someone who used to watch a lot of nat Geo when i was young, this is bringing out the inner child in me

Another day of me thanking God that another episode of this is out
This is like a Netflix documentary. Keep up the great work!
I'm not gonna let you talk about Lavasioth's magma armor like it's special without also mentioning Agnaktor.
Damn fish stole it from him.

Really love this series, can't wait to add this one to the rewatch list
You’d think the Guild would switch to “Explored” and “Unexplored World” rather than Old and New, given the discoveries found

I just started watching these and right as I got done this got uploaded, perfect timing
I haven’t really got into mh crazy yet until rise but these videos are always fun to watch
You need to play World
I really liked that editing for the slime mold explanation!
Can't wait for the guiding lands video.
I cant believe this kind of content is being made again, love it. More monsters plzzzzzzzzzzz
the "pounders" has pulverized me more times than i would like to admit....a new definition of getting fisted up to the elbow
YES!
JUST WHAT I NEED IN THE MORNING
i was waiting for this video, i cant describe how much i enjoy all your vids most especially the monster hunter world ones!!! thanks for the new upload your videos are the best!
Ayyy I love these, keep them up! I’m gonna share these with some MH friends
Now this is a natural geographic that I'll watch for days
i prefer the theory that Ebony Odogaron is the type species & that the regular Odogaron lost the dragon sac as a result of living in the vale
I forgot that the Rajang got added, though I still think all elder dragon vs non-elder dragon turf wars are interesting.
I still like the UHC theory that Seething Bazelguese are merely elderly Bazelguese
24:43, here you can witness the brachyDIOs using "Za Warudo!" in its natural habitat.
Audio sounds great!

One thing about slime molds - they are not fungi, but are part of the "protist" kingdom, like amoebas and interestingly, seaweed.

Fascinating simply fascinating man
how can the uragaan eat crystals? i know it uses its chin to crush them but how does it eat them? its chin is always in the way and it seems impossible to eat something ( same problem with radobaan )
Wait so if the crystals are made up of the bioenergy of elder dragons…
Step aside Nergigante, Dodogama is the true eater of elders
Best MonHun content on RUclips
I love these documentaries!
every video game needs a lava world or level
Does kirin’s horn grow back
Such an entertaining video!
Thanks.
I love this
I love these videos
I pronounce Bazelgeuse as "basil juice" in reference to the star it's named after.
I know I'm pretty late, but is there a reason why Teostra and Lunastra are not covered alongside all the other monsters in this documentary series?
How do you get these camera angles/ move the camera freely higher than the usual player view?
Camera Mods, such as MHWCC Studio and Frans Bouma's Photmode collection
"Thunder Trade-off Hypothesis"
You have me dead.
How does the uragaan make its roll catch on fire? Is it the vents?
How is the intro musik called.
Its so calming
Brachydios is the punch boom gel brawler beast. Kinda sounds like me.
Here we go!
I hope you do one on the snow biome added in the dlc
I need moreeeeeeeee
Wait so it spikes are it's eggs?

Don't know if it's just me, but I feel Dodogama looks like a relitve of Tigrex
It’s just you. They look nothing alike.
The colors maybe, but that is the only similarities i can see
It is time for *Best Boy*
I didnt expect nergi to be asexual
may i ask, why no xenogiva?
Personally I think it's because xeno isnt necessarily part of the recess
I really miss WORLD/ICEBORNE environments.
