If you're itching to see one monster in particular, comment it here. If you can, check if anybody else has commented the same one as you and chuck it a like, rather than commenting the same one multiple times. Cheers!
I'm interested to see your redesign of Gigginox. Your redesigns so far have been really cool and departures from the original in a great way. Plus you communicate the concepts really well with that Monster Hunter flair
Man, that third design is so cool for a bird wyvern to have. Most of the designs in monster hunter don’t really have intimidation factors incorporated into the patterns like moths and other smaller prey creatures exhibit. Super fitting for Kut Ku given that it already attempts to look bigger than it actually is.
@@aiba7604 yeah. Anjanath is more of a predator species though. The other two are great examples though. Just wish we had more of them, especially on the smaller monsters
Maybe not as a Monster Mender video, but it'd be cool to see your take on how some of the shelved designs could be cleaned up & reintroduced as new monsters in the franchise. Things like the older Zinogre design that was a gliding grappler, the orca inspired design that Valstrax eventually evolved out of, etc
I like how you incorporate gameplay element in to the design, like kutku's heas being its most important element that needed the players attention, it really help makes the design feel alive, which is what makes me love MH monster design. Anyway, i can't wait to see the black dragon jaggi in the flesh, since we never saw an elder dragon with bird wyvern skeleton before.
Dew it, follow your intrusive thoughts. but jokes aside, turning the design concept of a tutorial monster in to a final boss monster or vice versa is a really cool video idea that you can use in the future.
@@indomleon Turning the tail into a head to inadvertantly teach newer players that tail is also a weakness is such a genius idea, I wish Kut-Ku's hitzones were better so this would work lol
I’m quite intrigued to see how you’d handle Giadrome. He’s in this sort of limbo design wise where he is, for all intents and purposes, a subspecies of Velocidrome, and considering how Rakna Kadaki’s subspecies also got her own special subspecies minions, if Giadrome was made these days, I’d think he would just genuinely end up being “Frozen Velocidrome” rather than having his own classification, so seeing how you might differentiate him from his older brother would be an interesting episode. Also, Bulldrome. The poor fella only has two basic types of moves, “double stomp” and variations of “charge”, and he doesn’t even have a part break.
If you're willing to redesign monsters that are already cool then Gore/Shagaru Magala could be neat. They're my favorite designs in the series, but I feel like basing them off of bug, specifically cicadas, would've been really cool. The cyclical emergence of Gore Magala and the frenzy reminds me of how cicada broods will emerge and cover everything in themselves. Freshly molted cicadas also have light, yellowish coloring to them which reminds me of Shagaru Magala's color scheme. Cool kut ku redesigns btw
Absolutely ADORE your third drawing! The concept of using a distant body part as both a weapon AND method of trickery is a genius adaptation for any animal to have. This NEEDS to be its own monster as ASAP!
This was absolutely amazing! You did an exemplary job on all of these! 😃 I'm desperate to see a modem Kut-ku like the one in your first drawing! It looks exactly like what like I'd hope it would 😄 The second drawing I think works well, and while I'm not 100% on the pick-post digger hybrid beak hybridisation idea, I think the attack you motioned of it plunging it's beak into the ground and spitting out mud or fire is more that cool enough for me to want to look into more of this sort of idea 😊 And the final false headed Ku-Kut-Kut-ku is my fav personally! I can't believe the MH team haven't used the false head idea more! I know they used it on Narkarkos but, I believe it's the only monster that' done this so far if I remember right. I especially like how the wings and to a degree the feet, with their evenly spaced toes, make it more difficult to tell where it's facing! Heck even the colours! Making it look like rocks covered in moss! 🐛🪨🥒 I love the full dedication to misdirection the monster takes! Honestly, I'd love to see such a monster make it to the main series! 😃
. It's crazy how a simple wing design tweak can make a Yian look AMAZING . I do like the idea of a Fox/Bird, it works well against Yian Garuga's wolf/bird design theme . Crazy how we have only seen tail mimicry ONCE in the series with Giginox, ilove how this designs tail almost looks hammer like, can easily imagine it swinging it around like a Hammer
The hype was well deserved and this definitely delivered on it. I love this trio of silly fellows, can't wait to see what you cook up for other monsters. (Buggy D. Clown mentioned!!! What is he cooking?!? Yian D. Ku? Veloci D. Rome?)
Bro I’m loving these edits and the idea of Monster Mender! Keep up the great work and your illustrations are very AWESOME! Happy Hunting my fellow Mona Huna Brothers and Sisters!
It seems like you really have your finger on the pulse of the design philosophy behind why these monster work in the first place from a biology and game design perspective. Your art is also impeccable.
Phenomenal work for such a new channel idk what else to say but to conform with the engagement bait i will say I'm looking forward to the kehzu redesign
Ah yes. The steel uragaan redesign request here. Also, omg. Plz PLZ make the intro the same as this one every time except with the past episodes monster as a chibi form. Actually doubling the concept design at the cost of 3 doodles. I love it
i think your 3rd design is so cool! you could even have it breathe fire from its tail. all it needs is an organ connecting the end of its tail to a bladder type organ that stores the flameable chemical. you could even give it a sort of clicking sound (to again help players learn mechanics) where it clicks the beak on its tail, creating a spark which then ignites the spray of chemical it produces. this thing is going in my next dnd campaign i'm stealing it
The way you can make a complete change to the monsters without changing their role in the gameplay is something really crazy to me and something I don't find easily
The third design is marvelous, one of those ideas I can't believe it wasn't implemented yet, it is a monster I'd like to fight. The second design is understandbly awkward, he is that funny guy.
Okay, these kut-ku designs are all peak! My favorite one is the 2nd one. You really are making me go back to make fanmade monsters again, lmao If i could suggest a monster for the next video, it would be Khezu or Cephadrome.
An aspect of the monster design that you would want to consider for the future Bird/Flying Wyverns is which birds they're based on. Like you mentioned with Kut-ku, it's talons and fight are based on how a Chicken fights and defends it self, with that triple beak smash being based on how chickens dig into the ground for worms and other insects. Similarly, Rathalos is based on Eagles, Legiana is based on Hawks, Seregios is based on owls (Yes, Malfestio is aesthetically moreso an owl, but it doesn't hunt like an owl), etc.
so glad i found a channel like this because ive thought about it for YEARS. my monhun friends are so sick of my gripes about how there are too many cool monsters shoved into the repeated wyvern body plan. would love to see you do diablos, since the fact that he has wings has ALWAYS irked me. keep it up!!! would totally join the discord too
Dude in this video alone you've already shown artistic talent, conceptual vision and zoological insight. I look forward to your future content. Keep up the good work! 😁
The second i could see being right at home in a swamp or marsh map having water and mud based attacks rather than fire. It just gives more wader bird vibes to me.
Once again, nicely done! In particular, the false head design for Kut-Ku is a way to interpret its cowardly qualities. As an addendum, it's quite an entertaining mental image to repeatedly launch these Dragonators of Adoration in your direction.
I'd pay good money to see both of your original designs in an actual MH game, these are phenomenal! I hope you're able to make a ton more of these videos, because this is some major creativity on display!
Ahh! I'm so glad these are blowing up! 🎉 Also you really stepped up the designs in this one. I really appreciate pangolin borb and the two-headed wonder.
I definitely wanna do some illustrations of these future redesigns! Appreciate you experimenting with different and weird takes and excited for this series to keep it going ✨🤝
Really happy TH-cam randomly threw this at me last night, really enjoy this type of creativity. Next up would be... Gypceros? You're gonna have a hard time making that thing likeable. Looking forward to Brachydios, though. Hope you occasionally give the more popular monsters like him a jump in line so you can get to them quicker.
Something with the 3rd yian I really like is how the false head kinda looks more intimidating than its actual head. Also with bias I await a vid with Barroth, but I imagine it’ll be a while.
I genuinely love your designs and the attention you pay to both the mobster's role in gameplay and in lore ❤! I can't wait to see how you would tackle the more infamous monsters such as khezu 😅. Keep up the great work!
the 3rd design has always been outstanding so far with the way you expand on the monster concept… as for requesting specific monster redesigns, it is a long way till you get there chronologically but Magnamalo could use some retouches to make it less of a crazy hellfire samurai tiger lion wyvern!
I do rly like Kushala, although Id love to see alternative takes on it and how much you can do with the concept since it is pretty simplistic as it is. I enjoy the fact that in most media if you think of a wind dragon you'd think of a light, bright colored, feathered dragon, but Kushala flips that on its head and does the exact opposite. It's dark, heavy and coated in steel. So I wonder what twists you could provide it
I'd also like for me to tackle Kushala, because I feel like it leaves some interesting concepts on the table without utilizing them to the fullest it could
I would love to see your take on the Khezu, such an otherworldly monster would be perfect for a reimagining. Either way, "We will be watching your career with great interest"
Once again, I love seeing all these new contents. Since I started with World, some of the first generation monsters aren’t too well known to me so it’s cool to see new takes on monsters I don’t know too well.
Also for subspecies, what about doing the same things for them as the normal monsters? Would love to see you twist up old subspecies to bring them in line with the new greats like Coral Pukei and Acidic Glavenus
That is more or less the plan for the subspecies, the old gen ones will probably change a lot except for a few that I feel actually make sense to be so close to the originals like Black Diablos. I'm very interested in what I can do to make them interesting without swapping elements every time
I think Bulldromes design leaves a lot to be desired. I can think of something like an agile warthog-like build to push on its charge-centric moveset. Or similar to how the babirusa tend to have tusks that curl around and bore into their skulls, you can have a design that pushes harder on the big tusks. Where instead it curls around all the way along the back. Acting almost as protection for its soft hide and flank. But it also obsures some of the bulldromes sight, which encourages a charge-first mentality. Just a few ideas.
I especially like the last one, though I am a tad surprised that you didn't do any malfestion wing structures(wings that have malfestio wing morphology) on any of the designs as it seems like a good way to visually keep flying bird wyverns and flying wyverns separate.
Honestly I love monster hunter as a franchise mostly because of the ecology and it's monster designs, so much so I've created at least like 7 unique brand new monster ideas on my own and will start working on my next one possibly in a short while.
The last one was my favorite, great concept, the second one tho was a little weird, not because of the desing but because of the color, i think it looked a little too colorful for the concept you made with the desing, maybe some spots on the scales or some ligther texture would help it Anyways, i have higth hopes the next video its going to be as cool as those last ones
Great stuff, you got a banger series going here. BUT i better not be hearing Garuga SLANDER, he's my favorite monster. The council of garuga fans WILL ensure you get constantly instacharged and stunned until carting. You have been warned. But seriously, great work. Can't wait to see how you handle the rest of the roster.
@@indomleon fair! IB Garuga is dope But I gained my appreciation of garuga when I played Freedom 1 last year, and had to grind him like 15-20 times for weapons and armor I know his song by heart lol
I think that having something Kut-Ku's ears are very important for teaching a new player. Perhaps the third design could have it's nose always extended (like Anjanath), then when it's low on HP it folds it's nose in to try and keep such a vital body part safe. Other than that I think your three designs are great. I especially like the banana Kut Ku design, as it both looks like an inbetween tier monster like Hypnoc is to Yian Kut Ku and Yian Garuga, while still looking silly enough to stand out amongst the bird wyverns already introduced.
Really enjoy your videos man I'm surprised no one before you has really done something like this on the platform and for my potential monster you don't gotta get to mine quickly by any means but I'd love to see your take on my main monster man Steve aka seregios
I am one of those 9k views on the first video, and this video for sure lives up to the hype! Your designs are great, and I love how you consider the ecology of the monsters as you make them. I know its a long, long way off but i cant wait to see how you tackle magnamalo in particular. It just feels way too overdesigned imo. Much more of a generic fantasy game boss than most MH bosses. It somehow feels more out of place to me than even a lot of the elder dragons do! And theyre meant to be unrealistic and ecologically un-categorize-able!
I'm really excited for this series and always wanted to talk to someone who was as passionate as I am about Monster designs and the world of Monster Hunter. I love proper worldbuilding and fantasy-realism, like last video he mentioned Avatar and I got super hype. I just love cool shit that can suspend disbelief. Anyway, here's my completely unsolicited listing of Monster Hunter designs and how I feel about their ecology/biology/visual appeal... (and has nothing to do with copium whatsoever) Untouchably Perfect: Najarala, Tetsucabra, Namielle, Royal Ludroth, Great Jaggi, Great Wroggi, Brachydios, Legiana, Zamtrios, Agnaktor, Volvidon, Dodogama, Great Maccao, Gypceros, Kecha Wacha, Lagombi, Ukanlos, Seregios, (Narg, Odo, Zin, Magalas, etc etc etc) Gargwa Actually Ass: VALSTRAX, Great Jaggras, fucking Khezu, Cephadrome, Lavasioth, Jyuratodus, Tzitzi-Ya-Ku, Veloci/Gen/Giadrome, Pukei-Pukei, Barroth, Paolumu, Niblesnarf, URUGAAN, Radobaan, and of course fucking Zorah Magdaros Mostly Good But Kinda Ugly or Impractical: Anjanath, Almudron, Beotodus, Shara Ishvalda, Diablos (why the fuck does he even have wings) Tried to leave out most of the obviously good ones... But the rage I feel towards the fuckers on my Ass list for either not fitting in the world of Monster Hunter properly (looking at you Valstrax) or just being unforgivably ugly (URUGAAN), is immense. (I'M NOT COPING 🤡)
Every once in a while I think about it, but I probably shouldn't commit to any additional projects when I'm already doing this, uni, and I have dozens more tyranids that need painting lol
I’m gonna be doing more where these creatures would fit in if they were separate species if no one mines anyways The first design looks like it be the default and would be found in multiple areas mainly where those bugs that it eats spawn The second design looks like it would live probably somewhere in the desert areas mainly oasis’s and dens where they can find their prey The third design looks like it would live in either lush jungles or the coral high lands or even areas not far from volcanos where they’d most likely go to nest
A few things: (peak by the way) I know it would be a lot more work, but I think you should consider redesigning some of the small monsters. Especially something like the Boggi who doesn’t have a drome counterpart, or the babies of monsters like Zamtrios, Great Jagras, and Royal Ludroth because it’d be strange if they stayed the same. If I understand right, this variations episode would be the send off of a gen, and that sounds like a great idea, but I have a rather unlikely idea. What if you take in all the design knowledge that you’ve learned about the gen and make an entirely new monster that would fit in perfectly. Although I’m really not sure it’d be worth it in the long run. Next, PLEASE NO MORE THREE WEEK WAITS!!!!! I understand that they take time and I seriously do not want you to rush anything though, it was just rather grueling. This was more of a jest, I’d be fine with waiting however long I’d need to.
You bring up a lot of ideas I am interested in myself, the small monsters have been something I'm thinking about but I need to find a way to make it not take TOO much time away from the large monster videos. I'd maybe like to compile them at certain points of the gen, sort of like the variants. I like that new monster idea, I might just do that or something like it. As for the third I may have spent 10 of those days not doing anything because I didn't have a huge audience yet so I just screwed around and painted warhammer lol. I'm aiming for every 2 weeks, which is probably doable in my evenings after work
@@indomleon Painting Warhammer certainly isn’t the worst thing to spend time doing. What’s important for release schedules is, ultimately, that you don’t burn yourself out.
@nameofore1522 if/when Monster Mender starts to get a bit stale, I'll probably work on one of my side projects and post that instead. I've got quite a few things that could use my attention when I'm not doing MH
I love the second design the most, the toucan aspect actually gives me an idea about the color palette the Blue version could be. If you look up the Pokemon Toucannon’s shiny coloration, I think the beak colors could look great when applied to a Blue variant. Definitely would look nicer than actual Blue Yian Kut-Ku keeping the pink from the base. That choice imo, makes it look ugly.
Once again these have been super fun to see! Definitely agree that the third one could easily stand alone as its own monster. Out of curiosity, do you have any plans for monster designs that aren't attached at all to a preexisting one?
I still til this day have no damn clue why a Rathian would find this durp bird attractive enough pick to mate with... For those who can guess what am referring too wins a price.
Gypceros is actually part of the reason that the second design looks the way it does, I was originally going with a certain concept and then realized it fit Gypceros better, so I have some ideas ready to go
Personally my main thoughts on that monster is to: *Give it malfestion wings and general morphology, give it a bit of feathers and a more normal broad tail that is not stretchy. *Get rid of the head crest and make it dig up a flash stone and break it with something like a chin spike to flash people and its neopteron prey, this is supposed to be a smart monster and letting it use tools seems more fitting. Additionally if you break its chin spike, when it next tries doing a flash move it fails and the flash stone scatters away and becomes a shiny, and then the monster having learnt it won't work completely stops trying to flash the players. *Replacing the playing dead trick as it is too consistent to really surprise anyone and doesn't really impact the hunt, so I would propose it fake being knocked over every once in a while, it would actually trick people. *It is supposed to be the worst at flying of the flying bird wyverns, so I would personally think making its torso and neck bulkier and giving it slightly undersized wings would be good to make it really look like a bird that can only really use its wings for assisted jumping.
If you're itching to see one monster in particular, comment it here. If you can, check if anybody else has commented the same one as you and chuck it a like, rather than commenting the same one multiple times. Cheers!
I think a redesign of Vespoid Queen would be interesting.
seltas?
I’m itching to see your redesign of well one of these three: one of the blos wyverns, tigrex, or lagi
I'm interested to see your redesign of Gigginox. Your redesigns so far have been really cool and departures from the original in a great way. Plus you communicate the concepts really well with that Monster Hunter flair
Cephadrome.
CEPHADROME.
Man, that third design is so cool for a bird wyvern to have. Most of the designs in monster hunter don’t really have intimidation factors incorporated into the patterns like moths and other smaller prey creatures exhibit. Super fitting for Kut Ku given that it already attempts to look bigger than it actually is.
anjhanath has "wings" and "spikes" in hid tail only for intimidation
kecha wacha ears look like big eyes
aknosom is another great example
@@aiba7604 yeah. Anjanath is more of a predator species though. The other two are great examples though. Just wish we had more of them, especially on the smaller monsters
Maybe not as a Monster Mender video, but it'd be cool to see your take on how some of the shelved designs could be cleaned up & reintroduced as new monsters in the franchise.

Anyway, i can't wait to see the black dragon jaggi in the flesh, since we never saw an elder dragon with bird wyvern skeleton before.
I am extremely strongly considering committing to that bit for the Jaggi video

the 3rd design has always been outstanding so far with the way you expand on the monster concept… as for requesting specific monster redesigns, it is a long way till you get there chronologically but Magnamalo could use some retouches to make it less of a crazy hellfire samurai tiger lion wyvern!
Magnamalo is one I'm excited for because I deeply detest it, but the concept behind it is excellent
I do rly like Kushala, although Id love to see alternative takes on it and how much you can do with the concept since it is pretty simplistic as it is.
I enjoy the fact that in most media if you think of a wind dragon you'd think of a light, bright colored, feathered dragon, but Kushala flips that on its head and does the exact opposite. It's dark, heavy and coated in steel. So I wonder what twists you could provide it
I'd also like for me to tackle Kushala, because I feel like it leaves some interesting concepts on the table without utilizing them to the fullest it could
great video man I would absolutely watch at least 500 more episodes!!
love this stuff
I would love to see your take on the Khezu, such an otherworldly monster would be perfect for a reimagining. Either way, "We will be watching your career with great interest"
Gigginox rather
Really like the third design, it could be its own monster
Once again, I love seeing all these new contents. Since I started with World, some of the first generation monsters aren’t too well known to me so it’s cool to see new takes on monsters I don’t know too well.
The third one would be a fantastic new bird wyvern
fav episode so far, can't wait till the next one
Also for subspecies, what about doing the same things for them as the normal monsters? Would love to see you twist up old subspecies to bring them in line with the new greats like Coral Pukei and Acidic Glavenus
That is more or less the plan for the subspecies, the old gen ones will probably change a lot except for a few that I feel actually make sense to be so close to the originals like Black Diablos. I'm very interested in what I can do to make them interesting without swapping elements every time
I think Bulldromes design leaves a lot to be desired. I can think of something like an agile warthog-like build to push on its charge-centric moveset.
Or similar to how the babirusa tend to have tusks that curl around and bore into their skulls, you can have a design that pushes harder on the big tusks. Where instead it curls around all the way along the back. Acting almost as protection for its soft hide and flank. But it also obsures some of the bulldromes sight, which encourages a charge-first mentality. Just a few ideas.
the intro was perfect and the design was very cool keep going man
Another great video with great designs
Also the intro is awesome 😆
Back at it with even more bangers, the 3rd design button I in every way incredible
I especially like the last one, though I am a tad surprised that you didn't do any malfestion wing structures(wings that have malfestio wing morphology) on any of the designs as it seems like a good way to visually keep flying bird wyverns and flying wyverns separate.
That would have been a nice option had it occurred to me, though to be fair Legiana has the same structure and is a flying wyvern
awesome designs love the 3rd one especially
Variant developed new specialization in environment and such .
Honestly I love monster hunter as a franchise mostly because of the ecology and it's monster designs, so much so I've created at least like 7 unique brand new monster ideas on my own and will start working on my next one possibly in a short while.
The last one was my favorite, great concept, the second one tho was a little weird, not because of the desing but because of the color, i think it looked a little too colorful for the concept you made with the desing, maybe some spots on the scales or some ligther texture would help it
Anyways, i have higth hopes the next video its going to be as cool as those last ones
The thumbnail be like: the Vergin Yian-Kutku vs the Chad Yian-Garuga.
Welcome back Kut-Ku!
Third version is a favourite LONG SWORD user monster (according to memes) 😁
the third kut ku could have a 360 degree tail swing that inflicts bleed to tie the axe theme in more.
Great stuff, you got a banger series going here.
BUT i better not be hearing Garuga SLANDER, he's my favorite monster. The council of garuga fans WILL ensure you get constantly instacharged and stunned until carting. You have been warned.
But seriously, great work. Can't wait to see how you handle the rest of the roster.
I mean at least I can say he's probably top 10 NOW, Iceborne Garuga rules
@@indomleon fair! IB Garuga is dope
But I gained my appreciation of garuga when I played Freedom 1 last year, and had to grind him like 15-20 times for weapons and armor
I know his song by heart lol
Hell yeah! I've been waiting for the next episode of this series
I think that having something Kut-Ku's ears are very important for teaching a new player. Perhaps the third design could have it's nose always extended (like Anjanath), then when it's low on HP it folds it's nose in to try and keep such a vital body part safe.
Other than that I think your three designs are great. I especially like the banana Kut Ku design, as it both looks like an inbetween tier monster like Hypnoc is to Yian Kut Ku and Yian Garuga, while still looking silly enough to stand out amongst the bird wyverns already introduced.
Ah man that is a good idea
another idea ive had about this is maybe in the end recape portion of a gen you can make a variant for some monsters
That could be a fun little side project to add on
Absolutely incredible just like the first
I hope this fire birb returns in Monster Hunter Wilds
Really enjoy your videos man I'm surprised no one before you has really done something like this on the platform and for my potential monster you don't gotta get to mine quickly by any means but I'd love to see your take on my main monster man Steve aka seregios
i think pukei pukei would be really fun to redisign especially bc its a fan favorite and ha many major asthetics you could alter
i love the last one it would make a great fight i feel
I am one of those 9k views on the first video, and this video for sure lives up to the hype! Your designs are great, and I love how you consider the ecology of the monsters as you make them. I know its a long, long way off but i cant wait to see how you tackle magnamalo in particular. It just feels way too overdesigned imo. Much more of a generic fantasy game boss than most MH bosses. It somehow feels more out of place to me than even a lot of the elder dragons do! And theyre meant to be unrealistic and ecologically un-categorize-able!
I'm glad somebody shares my sentiment. There's a reason I chose to have Rathalos throw Magnamalo in that garbage bin in the intro
ANOTHER MONSTER MENDERE EPISODE LET'S GOOOO
great designs again :)
I'm really excited for this series and always wanted to talk to someone who was as passionate as I am about Monster designs and the world of Monster Hunter. I love proper worldbuilding and fantasy-realism, like last video he mentioned Avatar and I got super hype. I just love cool shit that can suspend disbelief.
Anyway, here's my completely unsolicited listing of Monster Hunter designs and how I feel about their ecology/biology/visual appeal... (and has nothing to do with copium whatsoever)
Untouchably Perfect: Najarala, Tetsucabra, Namielle, Royal Ludroth, Great Jaggi, Great Wroggi, Brachydios, Legiana, Zamtrios, Agnaktor, Volvidon, Dodogama, Great Maccao, Gypceros, Kecha Wacha, Lagombi, Ukanlos, Seregios, (Narg, Odo, Zin, Magalas, etc etc etc) Gargwa
Actually Ass: VALSTRAX, Great Jaggras, fucking Khezu, Cephadrome, Lavasioth, Jyuratodus, Tzitzi-Ya-Ku, Veloci/Gen/Giadrome, Pukei-Pukei, Barroth, Paolumu, Niblesnarf, URUGAAN, Radobaan, and of course fucking Zorah Magdaros
Mostly Good But Kinda Ugly or Impractical: Anjanath, Almudron, Beotodus, Shara Ishvalda, Diablos (why the fuck does he even have wings)
Tried to leave out most of the obviously good ones... But the rage I feel towards the fuckers on my Ass list for either not fitting in the world of Monster Hunter properly (looking at you Valstrax) or just being unforgivably ugly (URUGAAN), is immense. (I'M NOT COPING 🤡)
The Pickle is boring fix the pickle [Devil-Jho]
Also great video
Wonderful
I really want to see your interpretation of kulve taroth 👀
You should make your own generation of monsters
Every once in a while I think about it, but I probably shouldn't commit to any additional projects when I'm already doing this, uni, and I have dozens more tyranids that need painting lol
I know its gonna take a long time but I can't wait for magnamalo lol
@@gurburgandr I'm gonna catch a lot of heat for the Magnamalo video, which is great for metrics so we take those
I’m gonna be doing more where these creatures would fit in if they were separate species if no one mines anyways
The first design looks like it be the default and would be found in multiple areas mainly where those bugs that it eats spawn
The second design looks like it would live probably somewhere in the desert areas mainly oasis’s and dens where they can find their prey
The third design looks like it would live in either lush jungles or the coral high lands or even areas not far from volcanos where they’d most likely go to nest
A few things: (peak by the way)
I know it would be a lot more work, but I think you should consider redesigning some of the small monsters. Especially something like the Boggi who doesn’t have a drome counterpart, or the babies of monsters like Zamtrios, Great Jagras, and Royal Ludroth because it’d be strange if they stayed the same.
If I understand right, this variations episode would be the send off of a gen, and that sounds like a great idea, but I have a rather unlikely idea. What if you take in all the design knowledge that you’ve learned about the gen and make an entirely new monster that would fit in perfectly. Although I’m really not sure it’d be worth it in the long run.
Next, PLEASE NO MORE THREE WEEK WAITS!!!!! I understand that they take time and I seriously do not want you to rush anything though, it was just rather grueling. This was more of a jest, I’d be fine with waiting however long I’d need to.
You bring up a lot of ideas I am interested in myself, the small monsters have been something I'm thinking about but I need to find a way to make it not take TOO much time away from the large monster videos. I'd maybe like to compile them at certain points of the gen, sort of like the variants. I like that new monster idea, I might just do that or something like it. As for the third I may have spent 10 of those days not doing anything because I didn't have a huge audience yet so I just screwed around and painted warhammer lol. I'm aiming for every 2 weeks, which is probably doable in my evenings after work
@@indomleon Painting Warhammer certainly isn’t the worst thing to spend time doing. What’s important for release schedules is, ultimately, that you don’t burn yourself out.
@nameofore1522 if/when Monster Mender starts to get a bit stale, I'll probably work on one of my side projects and post that instead. I've got quite a few things that could use my attention when I'm not doing MH
Fuuuu~
REESES PUFFS, REESES PUFFS!
Welp.. I have no choice but to subscribe now..
I love the second design the most, the toucan aspect actually gives me an idea about the color palette the Blue version could be. If you look up the Pokemon Toucannon’s shiny coloration, I think the beak colors could look great when applied to a Blue variant. Definitely would look nicer than actual Blue Yian Kut-Ku keeping the pink from the base. That choice imo, makes it look ugly.
I love the beginning of this video lmao
I ALSO love the complete redesign to use his nose instead of his ears, that's honestly a wonderful idea
I love Royal Ludroth and his spongy mane is cool, I wonder what you could do with it
Once again these have been super fun to see! Definitely agree that the third one could easily stand alone as its own monster. Out of curiosity, do you have any plans for monster designs that aren't attached at all to a preexisting one?
@@creativetitle9247 maybe one day, probably not soon
Idk if anyone has said this yet but I would love to see your perspective of a revamped Bulldrome.
Also I can't wait to join a discord if you start one
I still til this day have no damn clue why a Rathian would find this durp bird attractive enough pick to mate with...
For those who can guess what am referring too wins a price.
Can you do gypceros? I hate that thing but i want to see a version of it that its actually good to fight
Gypceros is actually part of the reason that the second design looks the way it does, I was originally going with a certain concept and then realized it fit Gypceros better, so I have some ideas ready to go
Personally my main thoughts on that monster is to:
*Give it malfestion wings and general morphology, give it a bit of feathers and a more normal broad tail that is not stretchy.
*Get rid of the head crest and make it dig up a flash stone and break it with something like a chin spike to flash people and its neopteron prey, this is supposed to be a smart monster and letting it use tools seems more fitting. Additionally if you break its chin spike, when it next tries doing a flash move it fails and the flash stone scatters away and becomes a shiny, and then the monster having learnt it won't work completely stops trying to flash the players.
*Replacing the playing dead trick as it is too consistent to really surprise anyone and doesn't really impact the hunt, so I would propose it fake being knocked over every once in a while, it would actually trick people.
*It is supposed to be the worst at flying of the flying bird wyverns, so I would personally think making its torso and neck bulkier and giving it slightly undersized wings would be good to make it really look like a bird that can only really use its wings for assisted jumping.
