I think a cool explanation of why the viper tobi kodachi lost its electricity is that normal tobi’s gathers static electricity from brushing in the bush. Due to the forest being all covered in snow the viper tobi can’t gather any electricity from it.
It makes me think of how some snakes are venomous and others aren't, its likely both started with venom but the ones that lived in the ancient forest developed the thunder sack while Viper's venom became stronger without the trees as a resource. It seems pretty cannon that the hoarfrost reach wasn't always as cold considering the frozen elder's recess below, maybe the viper tobis venom and paralysis developed as the land became more unforgiving or at least much colder or the popo becoming the dominant herbivores.
God I love the vibe of World. The discovery of the Hoarfrost Reach and the following expeditions into it really drive home the fact that the Commission is separated from the rest of the Guild, stuck in hostile locales and surrounded by dangerous wildlife. And yet they love it because Monhun humans are adrenaline junkies and they're super into exploring. It's so fun
At this point you could be making up regions and monsters, I couldn't tell the difference. MHWorld is way bigger than I would've ever imagined. NatureIsANeverendingWonder/10
If you have the money and time for a more long-term entertainment investment, I HIGHLY recommend playing Monster Hunter World. It is a great game for your first Monster Hunter game, and the way its amazing combat, well-made Environment and impactful and realistic monsters flow together to make a beautiful, breathing, Believable world, is a VERY fun gaming experience. If you enjoy it and want more, the Iceborne expansion is effectively the same game's amount of content stacked on top of it, and it has some Truly Magnificent fights against terrifyingly powerful Elder Dragons.
I literally watched the entire series yesterday and said, out loud, when he releases the Hoarfrost Reach episode I’m gonna pop off. And here we are! Let the popping commence!
It's interesting that you use Odo and Ebony Odo as your examples for microevolution to adapt while migrating. There's a really good theory going around that Ebony is actually the ORIGINAL, and red Odo is in fact the "mutation". Don't know if you've seen that, but it's a really interesting video.
@@green_lettuce that's entirely possible. It would make their rarity all the more believable, as the evolutionary traits are becoming more rare due to selective breeding. But it's hard to say for sure whether that is the case, or if it's the opposite and subspecies are the next evolution that hasn't become dominant in the species yet.
You're basically the David Attenborough of Monster Hunter and i love it. If you ever end up looking at other games in the franchise, like Rise or Tri, i just might pass out from happiness
@@Oceaniz how long does it take for you to make one of these videos? Cause i imagine it takes at least 2-3 weeks for the video alone not counting information research and doublechecking
@@I_ARE_CHEESE its actually not that long - a lot of research is compiled on the wiki/through community loremasters like BannedLagiacrus, so that part is surprisingly breezy. The longest part is recording all the footage I need, esp because Monsters dont always cooperate! All in all, making one of these episodes from start to finish takes between 10 and 16 days, give or take :)
I do just want to point out that larger creatures often thrive in colder climates due to size being more energy efficient in the cold, it's why polar bears are so heckin big and why things in cold waters or the dark of the abyss grow to such sizes. It feels a bit strange to have missed commenting on that with something like Banbarro
A familiar face from the old world has come to say hello Slowly thundering across the tundra covered in ice and snow A tick layer of armour covers each of her flanks She’s as tall as a mountain and built like a tank As smart as she is strong with her wisdom she roams All hunters beware of the arrival of the Popodrome Titan Of The Tundra: Gamamoth If it only came true
@@bignelly9476 Agreed. My personal theory (and hope) is that 6 will hail the return of underwater combat and a lot of the species variety that was missing in World, including Temnocerans/Neopterons, Fanged Beasts that aren't Rajang, Amphibians and especially Leviathans. Depending on whether they use the RE Engine or not, they may already have the resources from Rise anyway.
This was fucking awesome in a way I was not prepared for. Way to really holistically integrate monster design, environment, and behavior into a cohesive nature documentary. 12/10
“It can even enter a further rage state in which a thunder aura envelops it further and enhances its strength even beyond.” And this.. Is to go… Even further beyond!
As someone who's lived in Alaska all 30 years of my life. Many many areas of the Hoarfrost Reach remind me of home during our 6 to 8 month long winters.
One thing that always interested me is that while the Reach is undoubtedly a colder climate due to its large coniferous forests, its curret frozen state may not be its normal state. There are several indicators that the region experienced a sudden rapid freeze. Likely due to Velkana.
As a patron and and avid driver this is such a damn experience. I personally have all of my notifications off from most things. So even when you post links of this stuff on Paetron I don't get it until you post in on TH-cam so it is a welcomed surprise. Like today I'll be driving two hours straight, which means I'll know what will be taking up 1/3rd of my time on my car speaker as I listen to it. Keep it up, I enjoy this very much.
Still some of my favourite videos on TH-cam. Not sure what your plans are but I'd love videos on the special areas such as the guiding lands, and the areas for kulve, Safi/alatreon, and fatalis
Bro I was about to play iceborne expansion 2 months ago but my ps4 broke just as i beat the base game 😫😫and that was my 2nd playthrough. Man I don't know if I can put in another 100+ hrs for this game, but maybe one day🤞🏻
I would actually love to see a Velhkana variant who uses the ice to replace missing limps like a leg. Would be very interesting to see a Battle Hardened Velhkana
Honestly, hearing about how the Tobi-Kadachi adapted to both the caves of the Reach and the Ancient Forest, it makes me wonder if the Tobi-Kadachi is, in itself, is a subspecies. Like we haven't found the original one because the ones that we have found were hyper adapted to each of their respective habitats.
If you ever do these kind of nature shows again, you should collaborate with Unnatural History Channel. His ability to combine MH lore with irl zoology is second to none IMO
Are you going to do a video explaining the Guiding Lands I know it’s a very complex landscape but it is still part of the New World and I think you would do a really good job at explaining it
3:27 I've never heard someone pronounce that as "stab-alize". 6:17 hehe "ma cock" 8:23 Lynian, not felyne specifically. They don't look particularly cattish. 12:59 I can't believe I never noticed that. 16:32 A keratinous horn "inflates"? I would've said "erects". 19:20 Wiper Kadachi wipes windows 29:13 I don't think they're naturally squinted. They're completely open in the dark, so it's likely they've evolved to be nocturnal.
i'm curious if you'll do a video on the guiding lands and/or a video on the odd ones out. ie, the monsters with arenas (the jivas, fatalis, alatreon and shara.)
Remember, the Jiivas, Fatalis, Alatreon and other such monsters of that legendary tier are closely kept guild secrets, so they wouldn't really be present in this kind of video where it's presented as a in universe documentary
One quick distinction, velkhana is a dragon, and not a wyvern. Wyverns are creatures with 4 limbs where dragons (or at least the elder dragons that are actually dragons) have 6 limbs, generally 4 legs with 2 wings, but with some odd cases like shara ishvalda or the magalas. Wyverns only have 4 limbs, generally 2 feet and 2 wings rathalos style, but with a good deal of exceptions, like pseudo Wyverns with their forelimb wing hybrids, or bird and brute Wyverns foregoing wings altogether.
Her official title, as well as the name of her slaying quest, is "The Iceborne Wyvern". I agree its a discrepancy, but its what capcom gave us and it sounds cool (hah!) so thats what we roll with under this roof, for now :)
Normal legiana are likely females, they migrate to eat while or after pregnancy, the males stay to guard and hatch the eggs, those are the special legiana. Conclusion I came to via emperor penguin behavior observed in real life.
Hey so once again a very good film but their is a minor mistake. But it can cause a lot of confusion so I get it The Gajalaka and Boa Boa Are NOT A species of the Felyns Like Melynx and Grymlkyne (the lynx people all over the new world) The Gajalaka are a race of Pygmy like people seperate from humans, wyverian and the cat folk Gajalaka are related to Shakalaka and Boa Boa respectively which are also types of pygmy tribes.
@@Oceaniz I mean it's a small thing. I hope I didnt cause you irritants. By the way. In all these videos I've still never heard you say your favorite monsters? You got a few? I got a top 20.
WHY is there no bestiary book about these monsters? Seems like the perfect property to do one. Make it in the style of a guild journal and it would be amazing.
@@UmbraXCVII right? Every time I mention that world is overall the better game they have all kinds of bs to say to me. Look I enjoy rise it's fun but the ecosystem is not alive. It's still beautiful and I dont dislike rise it's in my top 3 monster hunter games (TriU, World, and Rise) But World is the peak of the series right now and I truly want World 2 in the next 3 years

I love these videos so much, thank you very much for giving us a high quality work~
Never noticed banbaro’s third horn/antler on its nose. Maybe it’s more closely related to anjanath with its nosebone
“It can even enter a further rage state in which a thunder aura envelops it further and enhances its strength even beyond.”

Amazing video as always. Will you try the Guiding Lands next or do a single monster documentary again?
I love listening to these while I draw!! W video like always ocean man
*Roar across the Hinderlands plays loudly in the distance*
I've been stuck indoors sick, so having this to watch has made today more bearable. I hope you enjoy your vacation.
Fantastic job! Very well written script + great cinematography. Will definitely watch the other ones soon!
Babe wake up,
Oceaniz made another Nature Of Monster Hunter video.
As someone who's lived in Alaska all 30 years of my life. Many many areas of the Hoarfrost Reach remind me of home during our 6 to 8 month long winters.
Ha, literally just finished rewatching all the previous ones! Great timing
God I love these videos, great voice, fantastic quality, and beautiful footage. Thank you!
Now I wonder how the tribe would interact with Gammoth, since they both are constantly around Popo
@36:11 and here I thought it was the sound of our quivering cheeks bracing for fist related impact
Great work as always thank you for the collection
36:20 you could say, EVEN FURTHER Beyond...
Awesome video, was waiting for another one of these

Amazing work!
I love this series to death. Please tell me it won’t end with the Black Dragon episode 😭
the only answer i want is how did the tobi kodachi and anjanath get to the hoarfrost reach? maybe one day we'll get that answer.

So Other Elder Dragons such as the Jivas, Kulve Taroth, Fatalis, Altereon, Etc.
Also where do the Gold and Silver Raths lived?
That was beautiful. Any chance of doing the guiding lands?
Just so you know the BoaBoa and Gajalaka are not Felynes. They are Lynians which includes Felynes, Melyx, Grimalkynes, and Shakalakas as well
Indeed, that was a mistake on my part - its since been corrected in the compilation release of the "Nature of MonHun" video series!
You think youl cover the guiding lands and the caverns of elderado?
Once World is covered should we expect to hear about the new discoveries from Rise?
I wonder what would the name of the Hinterlands sequel to MHW be? Monster Hunter Beyond? Monster Hunter: The Hunterlands?
