I knew we'd miss some things! So I'll list a few of them here. (Thanks so much for the comments) Related to names: 1. Hiryu is Rathalos' TITLE in Japanese, not name. 2. Glavenus not only gets its name from a glave, but also gladios is 'sword' in Latin. 3. Diablos references more than just Diablo, but it also comes from "Two Horns." 4. Odogaron also pulls its name from Garou, French for Werewolf. 5. Also, (insert pronunciation here) at least I called that one. 😜 Goofs: 1. Lavasioth came long before Jyuratodus, not the other way around. Though "the time a franchise adds a character" doesn't dictate its evolution (see Galarian Zigzagoon) I don't know enough about MonHun lore to justify this one at all. 😅 "Think of it like Crocodiles and Alligators" one commenter put it. I think that explains the error perfectly. 2. "Black Diablos are female diablos" is correct, but not as correct as it could be. The females turn black when in heat. 3. Brachy uses a slime mold it cultivates for its explosives, not its spit.
Yeah in case y’all are wondering rathalos’s Japanese name is leioleus which is supposed to mean “lion king” since he’s the king of the skies. Ooh also something else I noticed that you missed. Velkhana’s Japanese name “iverukana” just means “ice curse” in japanese
Will you be doing any other MH videos on the future? I think it's a franchise you can dive deep into like theories an explanation videos like you do the Pokemon series
Here to point out that lavisioth, plesioth, and beotodus are not jyratodus subspecies, that black diablos is a normal female in heat, that Brachy's spit is not explosive, it's a special slime mold they cover themselves in that can only survive on them , and their spit makes it grow faster (and also that his name can also be interpreted as arm god), that Glavenus is pronounced Glav-en-us, and Zinogre is pronounced... well, zin-ogre.
@@cosmicdunsparce To the main series yes, but technically Lavasioth made his first appearance in Frontier, the MMO. He's one of 2 monsters that came from frontier
Black diablos aren't just female diablos. they're specifically females in heat, that's why they don't get their own name (besides just adding black) unlike rathian
@@frostdragonheart2500 i would say because a black diablos is way more aggressiv and Harder to kill than a normal diabolos which lorewise would indicate that you might need a better Hunter for it.
@@frostdragonheart2500 For the purpose of several things. It is different enough in terms of behavior and physicology to warrant a specific label. You can't send a group of hunters out into the wilderness to fight a Black Diablos when they thought it was a normal diablos, they'd get their asses whooped by the sheer strength and agression of the thing. Plus, since it is physically different, the materials can be different.
@@frostdragonheart2500 Dragirby makes a good point that for the purpose of like threat classification it's a good idea but I guess it also comes from the fact that BlackBlos is from an older MonHun where "Subspecies" was the only form mechanics-wise of diffe... dif, classifying monsters as different so yeah, "Subspecies" in a biology sense might be wrong but it does make some level of sense for brevity's sake... which is ironic since I'm making this big ol' wall of text about it.
5:32 correction. Lavasioth is not a subspecies of Jyuratodus, nor is Beotodus, or Plesioth. They are all separate species that are very closely related. Think of it like Crocodiles and Alligators
YEAH MONSTER HUNTER!! I hope you do more MH videos in the future! Also.. I pronounce it Ty-grex too, but in game they pronounce it "Tee-grex." It's awful.
It's Tee-grex I guess because it's a combination of Tigre (the french word for Tiger pronouced Tee-gu-re) and T-rex, Tigre + rex = Tigrex with the french pronounciation. Tee-grex. (being french myself this pronnounce doesn't bother me at all.)
8:06 I’d also add that, when compared to Monoblos, Diablos’s name could potentially refer to di- , or “two” horns, while Monoblos’s name refers to its one horn, or “mono”
The firt thing i thought when i heard "Namielle" was tsuNAMI and the elle is an angel like name (such as gabriel, raphael, and michael). In conclusion, a water angel.
the "simple" names for monsters in japanese aren't actually their names, they are their titles. you confused a few of these such as barroth, lavasioth and rathalos. basically, most times your translation ends up as "(BLANK) dragon" or something along those lines with no real change to the words to make it a name, you didn't get the name, you got the title. the "change to the words" part meaning that you got alatreon and tobi right, for example.
You can tell that Lockstin has only played Monster Hunter World by the fact that messes up some of the lore and the pronunciation of monster names. Spoken like a true Fiver.
@@blaydon4291 I guess a more correct phrasing would have been "you can tell that Lockstin isn't huge into the series and is only getting into it now because Hey Jay! is receiving a ton of subs and views from his recent MH videos" lol. Nah jk I love Lockstin, and obviously not everyone gets into the same series, or some take longer than others. I love seeing noobs fall in love with the franchises I love. I just wish he wouldn't dip his toes in franchises he knows next to nothing about, and gained the knowledge from extensive research and playing the games himself before making a video like this. I've never seen him post a video with this many straight up errors before.
Ah, it's like being a grizzled old world hunter watching and listening to one of the new world researchers talking about monsters they've heard about from other hunters. Its not so much annoying as it is kind of endearing.
Also fits since Orugaron from frontier. Fanged beasts which are a pair of monster wolves. Except without the massive infestation of thunder fleas like Zinogre.
Who knows. Vel-khana Khana is close to the word Kana wich is Finnish for Chicken and Vel is close to the word Veli wich Means Brother in Finnish So you could say that the name means "Brother Chicken" wich makes no sense considring Chickens are Female and Roosters are male. Also Velkhana doesent look like a Chicken. See? It could mean anything if you twist it.
Calling Lavasioth a subspecies of Jyuratodus. Like I get that it's origin is a bit confusing because it was introduced in Frontier, but to then immediately talk about Plesioth just hurts EDIT: (24:44) calling a Yian Kut-Ku "Kutu" somehow hurts more
@@tankhonghong706 I mean, that's like... the one he actually said RIGHT without missing a beat. Because it riffs directly on the (explosively) dying star Betelgeuse. Which a certain 1988 film belabors to remind us is pronounced as if "Beetle Juice."
And Leshen, when he pronounced it as Le'shen, when it should be pronounced closer to Lesson with the second S replaced with an H. and mispronounced Geralt too.
(I'm paraphrasing here->) "The Yian Garuga could be related to the Yian Kut-ku" No one tell him that Yian Garuga's are the child of a Rathian and a Yian Kut-Ku
Through watching this, I think gnoggin is confused about subspecies and variants in monster hunter. Subspecies (and Rare species) are a different take on monsters where their colors, element and habitat change as well their behavior however that doesn't apply to older gen monsters such as rathalos/rathian and Diablos since back then it was just a color swap and added moveset (Rare species are a one up from subspecies). Variants are an amped up version of a monster that increases their design philosophy making it much more apparent than their normal version for example Ruiner Nergigante has much tougher spikes than the normal one. The naming for subspecies, rare species and variants are all the same way with adding a title or a color before the monsters name, that's why Lavasioth isn't a subspecies of Jyuratodus as you thought because both monsters are completely different even tho they share the same skeleton and type of species.
0:28 "I'm gonna mispronounce so many of these today, I'm sorry." Well if you say so, I'll might as well forgive you. Edit: You can find out some of the names' real pronunciations in the game's cutscenes Edit 2: According to "Monster Hunter Generations Localization Notes Part 5" in Capcom-Unity, Glavenus got his name from gladius (Latin for sword), fervens (Latin for burning) and the "-saurus" suffix used in plenty of dinosaur names. So you got the explanation completely wrong there but nice try nonetheless.
Funfact, Jyratodus and Lavisioth aren't subspecies. They're just the same skeleton for gaming persons and very clearly linked in ancestry. Great video though!
Yep. Lavasioth using both plesioths body mesh in older titles and jyratodus body mesh in later titles sure is funny when it is not a subspecies of either!
I'll do you one better, every single diablos is female, the male equivalent, just like rathalos and rathian, has a different name and appearance, being called monoblos since it has, well, one horn, instead of two
@@BlimpBlomp Actually those are two completly different but cimilar species. There are male diablos. It's just very hard to tell them apart. Blood bath is confirmed to be male though. Black biablos are all female as they are in heat not because they are a dimorfisum. The same is true for monoblos through they don't have a cool variant that is distinctly male to my knowledge.
@@dranoradragonqueen1494 though bloodbath is a singular male Diablos, it’s a deviant. Not a sub or the full species, it’s one hyper powerful individual
7:56- Fun fact: In polish translation of Monster Hunter World Black Diablos got renamed into Black Diabla. Diabla is a word deriving from Slovak language which means "Devil". Also Diabla having "-a" at the end fits to fact that lots of polish girl names ends with letter "-a". Rathian got renamed as well, but she only got "-a" added to her name so audience can tell that she is a girl.
I love how everyone calls Odogaron clifford when its anatomy is more reminiscent of weasels and polecats(even it's "roar" sounds more like a weasel chattering than a dog's bark)
Odogaron is not based on a weasel or the Kamaitachi yokai. The Monster Hunter World art book depicts Odogaron’s early design as a hyena-like monster. One even shows a more dog-like one with fur. The Great Izuchi from MH Rise is based on the Kamaitachi...
really could have used more fact checking, there are many knowledgeable MH community members who could have reviewed the script. Banned Lagiacrus and gaijin hunter come to mind.
Yeah. Him asking why Lavasioth isn't called Lava Jyuratodus even though it's much older and him saying Black Diablos are just female Diablos even though they're a bit more than that killed part of me
I'm sure any subscriber that's an MH fan would have been willing to fact check, too. However, you don't even need someone to fact check. The Wikipedia pages give all of that information. :/
The fact that you’re telling me that Tzitzi means boobs in another language, it actually makes a lot more sense whenever I here it called “Titzi” Nice use of Muhut’s work by the way. NOICE
oh wHAT,, this is certainly a surprise, i never wouldve imagined in a million years you would do a monster hunter video aaaaaaa idk yet if you did already in this vid, but i hope you cover all of the monsters! and frontier monsters if possible as well!
@@gumball6445 yeah i think itd be a problem since majority if not all frontier mon names are japanese and unlocalized,, but itd still be interesting to see tho
23:17 The saliva isn't explosive, it covers it's arms in explosive mold, and uses it's saliva to prime the moss to explode when it punches something as it's shell makes the mold less explosive, and when it comes off the shell during the punch, the saliva and the impact cause the moss to explode.
As an avid hunter for many years, I am glad to say that i'm really happy that Lockstin made some MH content! (Even if I don't agree with some the pronounciation :p) I hope to see some more MH content from ya'! Maybe you could do the MH Rise monsters next, or perhaps some of the older games. Keep it up!
Being a Spanish monster hunter fan makes me feel like a company finally made our language more used in names of creatures,There were already some in other franchises,like using the numbers in artic-uno zap-dos and mol-tres But in monster hunter there are a lot more of references and it makes me happy for some reason
13:50 Inaccuracy: While it could go supernova anywhere between tomorrow and 100,000 years from now, the flickering is actually from dust ejected from the star. Betelgeuse is as bright as it was before the event and hasn’t changed since.
You should do something like this for the monsters that weren’t in World and Iceborne. I would be interested of hearing what the names like Dire Miralis or AHTAL-KA mean!
Dire means a sign of disaster or someting extremely urgent. Miralis is likely from the Japanese word "mirai" meaning future and Fatalis to draw a connection between the two species. So it would literally be "a sign of future disasters similar to Fatalis". Ahtal-Ka is a bit more difficult but I think it's a corruption of athal and ka. Athal is an Old Saxon prefix which means noble. Ka is Egyptian and refers to the spiritual part of a person or god that survives after death alongside the soul and could reside in a statue of the person, possibly a reference to how it resides in Ahtal Nesto and controls it as if it was its own body. So put together Ahtal-Ka would mean something like "Noble Egyptian Spirit".
@@keimasilver You may not know this, but Fatalis and Dire Miralis is a species also related to each other, which technically makes them cousins. The same with Zorah and Lao Shan Lung. Thank lord for the translated books.
Just as a side note, the word "forest" isn't pronounced the way he said it in polish, it's actually Las for a single forest, and Lasy for plural. Las is pronounced the same way you would pronounce Lass, as in pub lass. While lasy, is the same except for the addition of the polish "y" sound, which the closest I can think of rn, is how you read the "i" in "illegitimate". However he is right in the name's meaning, in polish Leshen is actually spelled Leszy, and is referred to in many names, the one I'm most familiar with is leśny dziad which quite literally translates as forest old man. Most basically the leszy was a slavic demon that resides in the woods, and takes on the appearance of an old man, with unbelievably white skin, that shows through branches, or something along those lines.
DID YOU CALL LAVASIOTH THE SUBSPECIES OF JYURATODUS?! Lavasioth is from a older Monster Hunter game, Monster Hunter Frontier. So them calling Lavasioth "Lava Jyuratodus" is completely impossible because Jyuratodus wouldn't have been a thought for a while
Even if that is true it could be like how the galar zigzagoon is technically the first zigzagoon according to lore when it came like 6 gens later that and even still its a Piscene wyvern one of the most infuriating species of monsters available so who really cares that much
@@ArgenteonYT It's clear he did his research, but assuming he either didn't play the games or only played world, a few of his mistakes are very fair to make from such a position.
It should be noted that Rathalos's official Japanese name is Lioleaus/Rioreusu. Hiryu is its Japanese title, translated into its English title, the Fire Wyvern. Lioleaus is most likely derived from Leo/Lion, and Basileus, meaning king. LITERALLY, the Lion King, emphasizing its honorary title of "King of the Skies". Plus, according to a developer interview (credit goes to Gaijin Hunter for detailing this), Tigrex was named to contrast Rathalos in its debut in Monster Hunter Freedom 2nd with the Tiger in Tigrex contrasting the lion in Lioleaus. Also, Tigrex is officially pronounced "Tee-grex ". I also don't really agree with it...
I shouldn't really be saying this given my thoughts on how he handled this video, but yeah no Tigrex is pronounced Tie grex I don't care what the devs say.
Ti is pronounced "à la française", since there’s literally the word "Tigre" in its name (I’ve been saying Ti-grex for years, but looking back Tee sounds better)
... Did he just Brachydios has small arms?! No! Brachy was specifically designed to be different from other brute wyverns to have big arms ment for attacking, not T Rex like ones like on Barroth or Deviljho. Please do at least a little bit of research on MH before you do a video on Gnoggin, I know you're trying to expand your content from not solely being Pokemon, but still man, you gotta do the research.
Well if you actually look closely he kinda does have surprisingly small arms for his size. Those things that look like his fists are actually more like his oversized punching gloves/plates. The arm it's self is a bit on the wimpy side it's just his glove/plate is blocking it most of the time, so you don't notice it very easily. I watched rage gaming to make that discovery.
No Brachy does have tiny claw arms underneath his distinctive pounders so yes technically this guy is right here. The pounders are implied to be something different that are simply utilized by his arm muscles.
@@songbird6414 Imo that's like saying that your skin isn't part of your arm. If they were something that Brachydios just picked up and started swinging around it'd be a different story, but big, thick scales are still part of the Monster.
Plesioth's hipchecks are so powerful, it hipchecked its way into this video from future videos that cover non-MHW monsters. Sidenote: This wouldn't be discovered on a video that only did research on MHW monsters, but there's another monster similar to Diablos called Monoblos, with the major difference being that Monoblos has one horn, Diablos has a pair. Mono for 1, Di for 2.
Barroth .... Barro in spanish means mud, and if I don't remember badly there is a mission called "El behemoth del barro". Remember that MonHun series takes a lot of spanish words.
I like to think that the “Safi” in “Safi’Jiva” could also be short for “Sapphire” as in relation to the Sapphire Star the commision ingame idolizes. It’s ultimate, party wiping move is called “Sapphire Star of the Emperor” so I think it makes sense
Bhaal in D&D is not a prince of hell. He was one of three gods of death in the Forgotten Realms setting. Specifically the god of assassins and ritualistic murder.
@@a_frosty_lynx1989 not something people who discovered the licence with World would be aware of to be fair (even tho he might have found it while searching but that’s another story)
Fun fact about Rathian. It was the first monster ever designed for this series. In fact the monster on the Logo of the first monster Hunter Isn't Rathalos but Rathian instead. You can tell as the Logo monster has the chin spike that Rathian is known for.
Behemoth, you're not even going to talk about how this is a crossover with Final Fantasy XIV? I mean you get Dragoon armor from that game for the Behemoth fight in Monster Hunter world
Rathalos's Japanese name is Rioreusu, Hiryu is sort of his title. Also Legiana's Japanese name, Reigiena comes from the characters Rei (レイ) , which is katakana characters equivalent for pronunciation of the first character of Fridge/Reizoko( 冷蔵庫) which means Cold (冷) which is what Legiana's theme is all about.
There's a lot of misuse/pronunciations of the Japanese names in here. I'm really complaining, mostly saying that some of the meanings you got were pretty off base. A couple notable ones being Diablos and Fatalis. Diablos gets the Di from it's two horns because it is very similar to another older gen monster Monoblos. While the assessment wasn't completely wrong, that part is kinda important. Fatalis' Japanese name however, Miraboreus, (someone can correct me if I'm wrong here) starts with the suffix Mira, most likely derived from the Japanese word for future: Mirai. This is presumably why the English name has to do with fate. Good video still, would totally love to see more Monster Hunter stuff.
Um Diablos came like I think it's three games before miraboreus showed up? At least one game before. So that doesn't exactly aply. It's basically the the spanish word for demon. Then throw in able and die and you get a demon that is able and will kill you. Enough said I think. As for Miraboreus it's more of the runner up because they wanted something to look like deablos, act like a deablos but be a different spices.
@@dranoradragonqueen1494 Miraboreas is the Japanese name for Fatalis, the first game's final boss. Monoblos, who you mean, is the first game's single player final boss. Diablos is the second game's two horned counter part to Monoblos.
@@luccasummers4317 I was spelling as I thought you were spelling, it sorry. I'm not great at spelling and I mistook a pice of dirt on my screen as an i. Ok so I looked it up so they showed up in the same game. Still because they showed up in the same game you can't say that one is older then the other spices wise unless it says that in the lore. Tectonically they are the same age then.
I just HATE that Lockstin is getting most of the lore of Monster Hunter WRONG! THESE creatures ARE NOT dragons!!! They are WYVERNS. The devs SPECIFICALLY wanted to emphasize that the monsters of Monster Hunter are wyverns, as in almost every other game, they came across dragons and thus wanted to make their monsters stand out. And the pronunciation!!! Did he actually play the games!?!?
We do actually have class specifically called "Elder *dragon* " I can see where he got confused. But I do agree he should have done a little more research before releasing this vid.
Sorry for being nitpicky. But you can look up what the devs stated. With dragons, there's just not much you can do with them. With the wyverns, you can change there style, and place them in various categories. Most dragons are wyverns, but every wyvern is not a dragon.
Also Yian garuga isn't just related to Yian kut ku strictly on appearance but is literally The Unholy Offspring of a Yian kut ku and a Rathian. 🐔+🐲=🐺🐦??
@@korokseed1619 well i don't know who you've seen say it but 1. That's not how gene's work And 2 monsterhunter.fandom.com/wiki/Yian_Garuga_Ecology Heres the ecology site, if you head down to taxonomy it says "Yian Garuga is a unique Bird Wyvern that is closely related to Yian Kut-Ku." Note it did not say offspring Okay, so the move set is a mix of kut ku and rathian with it's own stuff, but that's gameplay. Lore wise it is it's own monster.
it does the meteor attack that you use to hide behind for the finisher (or you get a dragoon jump emote that if timed right can evade it) just like the raid. but he also spams an area denial wind spell called charybdis, which while not in ff14 is in some of the other games. it's a pretty faithful representation all things considered. oh it also has a hard aggro component for multiplayer... which is a direct nod to the ff14 component.
@@benjaminrosiek5007 No no no! Charybdis is defintely in 14. It's been a while since I've done the Behemoth FATE but I'm pretty sure its supposed to be based off that boss. And the Behemoth in Palace of the Dead definitely does the charybdis thing.
So about Tzitzi-Ya-Ku’s translation, you are correct that Tzi means Navy, but if you combine two Tzi one after the other it means boobs as well. Another thing, Radobaan’s name sounds similar to Dorban, which in Hebrew means spur, and is mostly referred to a creature full of spikes on it’s body.
I have a bit of a weak connection for Anjanath. The Janissaries who were the elite Ottoman troops they were famous for a lot, but a big part of there tool kits were glass grenades that were mostly fire unlike the shrapnel from metal ones that would tie into the fire powers of the Anjanath.
Not gonna lie, i would love to see a name break down for Digimon, i know not all of them would have real meaning or be very interesting, but hey theres like, idk, 7 or more vids you can make probably
I love how English speaking people have little to no problem pronouncing vowels in japanese words but just throw that out the window when it comes to spanish. XD
I just want to say thanks before I watch the video for the great timing since I just got back into Monster Hunter after a bit of a break from it and seeing you upload a video on it.
One thing you missed: Brachydios is literally a jojo reference, the latter part of its name being the name of a jojo villain. It also has a quest in a past game called "Obsidian Is Unbreakable" that gave you an unbreakable diamond. Also, its name quite literally means "Arm God", after how it punches things.
Something to note: yian garuga is heavily implied (im not sure if its ever been confirmed) to be the product of a Yian-Kutku and a Rathian breeding. They are very aggresive and take design elements from both monsters (most notably the body form of Kutku and the tail+poison of rathian): That could be a big reason behind the similar naming scheme
INCORRECT. Yian Garuga is a closely related cousin of the Kut-Ku. Seperate species, not a hybrid. The whole hybrid thing is a fan theory/joke from way, way back in the day.
feels a bit off that right off the bat he tried to seem credible by saying Ala has been haunting him since gen 3. Realy obscure facts that make you think he's played the games, and yet he gets so much wrong. They actually say the monster names in game.
Nergigante may also come from Nero in Italian, which means "black", since Gigante also means "giant" in Italian, making him "The Black Giant". It could also reference the Roman emperor Nero, famous for being not such a nice guy
12:56 the pronunciation of Safi from Safi'Jiiva may also come from Sapphire Which ties into Xeno'Jiiva's title "The Sapphire Star" Which that itself is also a tie in to the Monster Hunter Universe's Creation myth. To summarize the quickly. Only things that existed were Humans and 5 Dragons. The Humans asked why nothing was here. The dragons created an Island in response to the question. A guy went to the Island know why the dragons made the Island and came back with a Scale from each dragon. The humans used these Scales to make the world, the Moon which accidentally created Time and gave humanity mortality and became the MH universe as we know it.
As for how Sapphire star ties into myth. Each dragon did something different. One dove into the ocean to become the Land, one looked to the sky and became the mountains, one took a nap on the land and became the forests, one flew across the land and became the rivers and lakes with it's scales becoming Rain. And the final Dragon took to the sky above and became a shining blue star.
The bazelguese. Also known as Bagel Geese. To be fair, they are aggressive and fill probably steal all your bagels and eat them in front of you before blowing you up.
So the pronounciations here were pretty terrible I won‘t sugarcoat it. I currently don‘t have classes so if you‘d like some help with Monster Hunter stuff I‘m down.
i cannot believe there were so many influences of indian culture (i am from india) i personally love the series and have played many games but MH is not very popular here so i am just happy to see this 😁😁
Nami means wave, and a common name for anything related to the ocean. So alongside your explanations, it's name could literally mean "abyssal wave" or "abyssal ocean". Physically, it's a draconic jellyfish, and bioluminescent jellyfish with pulsing lights are commonly found the the deep ocean, hence the abyss.
You also will hear this 100 times but incase not I'll say it. Brachydios has smile mold on it not mucus like fungus that propagates by launching spores with explosion...yeaaah and it licks the mold to help it grow faster although also keeping it dormant on itself because of it unique shell. Yada yada you learned something new
@@espada7997 Ah yes the ancient and powerful Smile mold it will make you laugh to death...and then explode. Was a typo but hey we all make mistakes and this one made me laugh.
I knew we'd miss some things! So I'll list a few of them here. (Thanks so much for the comments)
Related to names:
1. Hiryu is Rathalos' TITLE in Japanese, not name.
2. Glavenus not only gets its name from a glave, but also gladios is 'sword' in Latin.
3. Diablos references more than just Diablo, but it also comes from "Two Horns."
4. Odogaron also pulls its name from Garou, French for Werewolf.
5. Also, (insert pronunciation here) at least I called that one. 😜
Goofs:
1. Lavasioth came long before Jyuratodus, not the other way around. Though "the time a franchise adds a character" doesn't dictate its evolution (see Galarian Zigzagoon) I don't know enough about MonHun lore to justify this one at all. 😅 "Think of it like Crocodiles and Alligators" one commenter put it. I think that explains the error perfectly.
2. "Black Diablos are female diablos" is correct, but not as correct as it could be. The females turn black when in heat.
3. Brachy uses a slime mold it cultivates for its explosives, not its spit.
Brachy's saliva activates the slime mold, essentially primes it like a grenade
Yeah in case y’all are wondering rathalos’s Japanese name is leioleus which is supposed to mean “lion king” since he’s the king of the skies.
Ooh also something else I noticed that you missed. Velkhana’s Japanese name “iverukana” just means “ice curse” in japanese
That’s really cool that you actually saw my comment and used my analogy... I feel so honored!
Will you be doing any other MH videos on the future? I think it's a franchise you can dive deep into like theories an explanation videos like you do the Pokemon series
I'm so proud of you Locks. I feel like it's not often when people immediately admit their mistakes.
Here to point out that lavisioth, plesioth, and beotodus are not jyratodus subspecies, that black diablos is a normal female in heat, that Brachy's spit is not explosive, it's a special slime mold they cover themselves in that can only survive on them , and their spit makes it grow faster (and also that his name can also be interpreted as arm god), that Glavenus is pronounced Glav-en-us, and Zinogre is pronounced... well, zin-ogre.
Why did he talk about plesioth? It's not in world....
@@christophersmith1694 and hes terrible
From an ecology standpoint it's actually believed that jyuratodus might be the ancestor of piscine wyverns so... it kinda make sense I guess?
Well he never said Plesioth or Beotodus were subspecies of Jyratodus, he did make a mistake with Lavasioth
Zin-ogre? I always call him Zino-gre. Maybe had to do with different pronounciation in german.
Lavasioth came long before Jyuratodus, Jyura is new to World and Lavasioth has been around for years.
Lavasioth was introduced in Freedom Unite if I recall right.
@@cosmicdunsparce To the main series yes, but technically Lavasioth made his first appearance in Frontier, the MMO. He's one of 2 monsters that came from frontier

“I mean he is the charizard of the series after all”
Well he is included in every game and has to many veriants
He could also be the Nidoking of the series if you think about the poison it can do while having a female variant
Black diablos aren't just female diablos. they're specifically females in heat, that's why they don't get their own name (besides just adding black) unlike rathian
Diablos: turns black
Hunters: "Go to horny jail"
but then the question remains: why are they considered a subspecies?
@@frostdragonheart2500 i would say because a black diablos is way more aggressiv and Harder to kill than a normal diabolos which lorewise would indicate that you might need a better Hunter for it.
@@frostdragonheart2500 For the purpose of several things. It is different enough in terms of behavior and physicology to warrant a specific label. You can't send a group of hunters out into the wilderness to fight a Black Diablos when they thought it was a normal diablos, they'd get their asses whooped by the sheer strength and agression of the thing.
Plus, since it is physically different, the materials can be different.
@@frostdragonheart2500 Dragirby makes a good point that for the purpose of like threat classification it's a good idea but I guess it also comes from the fact that BlackBlos is from an older MonHun where "Subspecies" was the only form mechanics-wise of diffe... dif, classifying monsters as different so yeah, "Subspecies" in a biology sense might be wrong but it does make some level of sense for brevity's sake... which is ironic since I'm making this big ol' wall of text about it.
Note about Rajang, It kinda sounds like raging, which this guy does a lot of.
Only some of them are furious
There's a quest named Rajang Against the Machines... so, yeah.
I get around the pronunciation issue by calling him Furious George
I thought his name was a mix of rage and orangutang
@T J Cox this comment thread proves otherwise
5:32 correction. Lavasioth is not a subspecies of Jyuratodus, nor is Beotodus, or Plesioth. They are all separate species that are very closely related. Think of it like Crocodiles and Alligators
Also Lavasioth couldn't possibly have been called Lava Jyuratodus even if they were the same since Lavasioth came first
@@arcticdino1650 yea, that’s also a valid point
@@arcticdino1650 kinda weird how he doesn't even mention that he's called Volganos in Japan.
that's actually an incredibly good analogy.
YEAH MONSTER HUNTER!! I hope you do more MH videos in the future! Also.. I pronounce it Ty-grex too, but in game they pronounce it "Tee-grex."
It's awful.
I pronounce it as ty-grex too because I think it sounds cooler and like combining tiger and t-rex
Didnt expect to see you here
hey it's you
It's Tee-grex I guess because it's a combination of Tigre (the french word for Tiger pronouced Tee-gu-re) and T-rex, Tigre + rex = Tigrex with the french pronounciation. Tee-grex. (being french myself this pronnounce doesn't bother me at all.)
@@odusseusxvi568 Tigger
8:06 I’d also add that, when compared to Monoblos, Diablos’s name could potentially refer to di- , or “two” horns, while Monoblos’s name refers to its one horn, or “mono”
1:45 You confused Rathalos' Japanese name, Liolaeus, with his title.
Wich literally means lion king in latin
@@kaizerdakota3948 and Los in rathalos is ment to mean king same as Laeus in japanese, as well as Lioleia being Leia for the Goddess Rhea
Okay i was confused there for a sec
FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT
Didn't expect this, but I'm not complaining
Didn’t expect this, but I’m celebrating lol
Same lol
So happy because of this vid
I’m glad he made it, but OH MY LORD, there are so many mistakes it quite often pains me to watch this
A surprise,to be sure, but a welcome one
-Emperor Palpatine
Diablos also have a double meaning with "di" meaning double,cause it has 2 horns.
It's proven by its friend the monoblos, the one horned wyvern
Monocot and Dicot etymology
I thought bi ment double? (Bicycle, binoculars, bisexual, ect)
The firt thing i thought when i heard "Namielle" was tsuNAMI and the elle is an angel like name (such as gabriel, raphael, and michael). In conclusion, a water angel.
the "simple" names for monsters in japanese aren't actually their names, they are their titles. you confused a few of these such as barroth, lavasioth and rathalos.
basically, most times your translation ends up as "(BLANK) dragon" or something along those lines with no real change to the words to make it a name, you didn't get the name, you got the title. the "change to the words" part meaning that you got alatreon and tobi right, for example.
You can tell that Lockstin has only played Monster Hunter World by the fact that messes up some of the lore and the pronunciation of monster names. Spoken like a true Fiver.
I know right! Casual.
0:45 "haunted my dreams since monster hunter 3"
Worlds isnt his first
@@blaydon4291 I guess a more correct phrasing would have been "you can tell that Lockstin isn't huge into the series and is only getting into it now because Hey Jay! is receiving a ton of subs and views from his recent MH videos" lol. Nah jk I love Lockstin, and obviously not everyone gets into the same series, or some take longer than others. I love seeing noobs fall in love with the franchises I love. I just wish he wouldn't dip his toes in franchises he knows next to nothing about, and gained the knowledge from extensive research and playing the games himself before making a video like this. I've never seen him post a video with this many straight up errors before.
hes played 3
:alatreon, haunted my dreams since monster hunter 3:
Ah, it's like being a grizzled old world hunter watching and listening to one of the new world researchers talking about monsters they've heard about from other hunters.
Its not so much annoying as it is kind of endearing.
I think the "Garo" part in Odogaron could be a reference to its wolf like body structure, as Garou/Loup Garou is french for werewolf.
Also fits since Orugaron from frontier.
Fanged beasts which are a pair of monster wolves.
Except without the massive infestation of thunder fleas like Zinogre.
Who knows. Vel-khana
Khana is close to the word Kana wich is Finnish for Chicken and Vel is close to the word Veli wich Means Brother in Finnish
So you could say that the name means "Brother Chicken" wich makes no sense considring Chickens are Female and Roosters are male. Also Velkhana doesent look like a Chicken.
See? It could mean anything if you twist it.
"Zin-ow-gah" I died a bit on the inside hearing that lmao
How abou glaive-eenus
@@Monster_Hunter-rn2dk that one hurt too
Calling Lavasioth a subspecies of Jyuratodus. Like I get that it's origin is a bit confusing because it was introduced in Frontier, but to then immediately talk about Plesioth just hurts
EDIT: (24:44) calling a Yian Kut-Ku "Kutu" somehow hurts more
But that one is correct, lol.
He clearly didn't put nearly as much research into this as he does with his normal videos.
Me: He can't mispronounce them that bad, how can we be ma-
Lockstin: GLAVE-VENUS
Me: wait wut?
Zinooge no no I think you mean zin ogre as in ogre with is something you bring up
@@calm3980 if Zinogre is an Orge, does that mean Thunderlord is Shrek?
Or like he said yian kuttu instead of yian kut ku
@@tankhonghong706 I mean, that's like... the one he actually said RIGHT without missing a beat. Because it riffs directly on the (explosively) dying star Betelgeuse. Which a certain 1988 film belabors to remind us is pronounced as if "Beetle Juice."
And Leshen, when he pronounced it as Le'shen, when it should be pronounced closer to Lesson with the second S replaced with an H. and mispronounced Geralt too.
(I'm paraphrasing here->) "The Yian Garuga could be related to the Yian Kut-ku"
No one tell him that Yian Garuga's are the child of a Rathian and a Yian Kut-Ku
Lol
No one tell him
That's not actually canon. It's just a fan theory based on its appearance and the backflipping poison attack
@@vynegar_ pretty sure its more because Yian Garuga are The Oldest Relative to The Common ancestor to Rathian,Rathalos and Kut ku.
@@Mattno.777 I don't doubt that there's a common ancestor there somewhere
Through watching this, I think gnoggin is confused about subspecies and variants in monster hunter.
Subspecies (and Rare species) are a different take on monsters where their colors, element and habitat change as well their behavior however that doesn't apply to older gen monsters such as rathalos/rathian and Diablos since back then it was just a color swap and added moveset (Rare species are a one up from subspecies).
Variants are an amped up version of a monster that increases their design philosophy making it much more apparent than their normal version for example Ruiner Nergigante has much tougher spikes than the normal one.
The naming for subspecies, rare species and variants are all the same way with adding a title or a color before the monsters name, that's why Lavasioth isn't a subspecies of Jyuratodus as you thought because both monsters are completely different even tho they share the same skeleton and type of species.
"BAZELGUESE"
No no, you misspelled the name is actually called: B-22 BOMBER!!!!!!
I thought it was Bagel Goose.
It be flying into the wrong quest making you fight 2 monsters instead of one, but i never knew farting on a B22 bomber could make it go away
Will it appear after saying its name 3 Times
*B-52 Bomber
I and my friends call it just bagel
Lavasioth is a Jyuratodus subspecies? OBJECTION!!
That triggered me
Plesioth isn't in monster hunter world
@@trashboat94 yeah, he purposely covered some monsters that aren't in MHW
But he did graven us and not the rest of the fated 4 and I got flashbacks to world and stories that only had glavenus

0:28 "I'm gonna mispronounce so many of these today, I'm sorry."
Well if you say so, I'll might as well forgive you.
Edit: You can find out some of the names' real pronunciations in the game's cutscenes
Edit 2: According to "Monster Hunter Generations Localization Notes Part 5" in Capcom-Unity, Glavenus got his name from gladius (Latin for sword), fervens (Latin for burning) and the "-saurus" suffix used in plenty of dinosaur names. So you got the explanation completely wrong there but nice try nonetheless.
''Yian Kutu''
*SPITS DRINK*
_what-_
I knew the pronunciations would be off, but this one hit different
Funfact, Jyratodus and Lavisioth aren't subspecies. They're just the same skeleton for gaming persons and very clearly linked in ancestry. Great video though!
Yep. Lavasioth using both plesioths body mesh in older titles and jyratodus body mesh in later titles sure is funny when it is not a subspecies of either!
A black Diablos isn't just a female Diablos, it's a female Diablos in heat. When not in heat a female Diablos looks the same as every other Diablos.
I'll do you one better, every single diablos is female, the male equivalent, just like rathalos and rathian, has a different name and appearance, being called monoblos since it has, well, one horn, instead of two
@@BlimpBlomp they're actually just similar species. Like tigers and lions, they aren't male and female
@@BlimpBlomp Actually those are two completly different but cimilar species. There are male diablos. It's just very hard to tell them apart. Blood bath is confirmed to be male though. Black biablos are all female as they are in heat not because they are a dimorfisum. The same is true for monoblos through they don't have a cool variant that is distinctly male to my knowledge.
@@dranoradragonqueen1494 though bloodbath is a singular male Diablos, it’s a deviant. Not a sub or the full species, it’s one hyper powerful individual
@@baconboi4482 I know that. That was my point. It's the only individual that's confirmed to be a male Diablos for sure.
What a perfect video to watch while fixing my Zinogre cosplay.
Also, the actual Japanese name for Rathalos is Leolaeus, not Hiryu.
Hiryu was probably its title.
For brachydios, it's actually been confirmed that it's a mix of brachydium and obsidian
7:56- Fun fact: In polish translation of Monster Hunter World Black Diablos got renamed into Black Diabla. Diabla is a word deriving from Slovak language which means "Devil". Also Diabla having "-a" at the end fits to fact that lots of polish girl names ends with letter "-a". Rathian got renamed as well, but she only got "-a" added to her name so audience can tell that she is a girl.
Brachydios name could also be related to the german word "Brachial", brutal.
Brachydios means "Trouble"
I always took it as Brach, meaning arm, and dios, like dual or two. So literally, dual arms. And thats kind his schtick apart from the slime.
I love how everyone calls Odogaron clifford when its anatomy is more reminiscent of weasels and polecats(even it's "roar" sounds more like a weasel chattering than a dog's bark)
I always thought it sounded like a hyena's laugh-noise mixed with a canine howl.
Odogaron is not based on a weasel or the Kamaitachi yokai. The Monster Hunter World art book depicts Odogaron’s early design as a hyena-like monster. One even shows a more dog-like one with fur. The Great Izuchi from MH Rise is based on the Kamaitachi...
really could have used more fact checking, there are many knowledgeable MH community members who could have reviewed the script.
Banned Lagiacrus and gaijin hunter come to mind.
Yeah. Him asking why Lavasioth isn't called Lava Jyuratodus even though it's much older and him saying Black Diablos are just female Diablos even though they're a bit more than that killed part of me
I'm sure any subscriber that's an MH fan would have been willing to fact check, too. However, you don't even need someone to fact check. The Wikipedia pages give all of that information. :/
@@Dandylion567 IKR!

I hope to see some more MH content from ya'! Maybe you could do the MH Rise monsters next, or perhaps some of the older games.
Keep it up!
Being a Spanish monster hunter fan makes me feel like a company finally made our language more used in names of creatures,There were already some in other franchises,like using the numbers in artic-uno zap-dos and mol-tres
But in monster hunter there are a lot more of references and it makes me happy for some reason
13:50 Inaccuracy: While it could go supernova anywhere between tomorrow and 100,000 years from now, the flickering is actually from dust ejected from the star. Betelgeuse is as bright as it was before the event and hasn’t changed since.
You should do something like this for the monsters that weren’t in World and Iceborne. I would be interested of hearing what the names like Dire Miralis or AHTAL-KA mean!
Dire means a sign of disaster or someting extremely urgent. Miralis is likely from the Japanese word "mirai" meaning future and Fatalis to draw a connection between the two species. So it would literally be "a sign of future disasters similar to Fatalis".
Ahtal-Ka is a bit more difficult but I think it's a corruption of athal and ka. Athal is an Old Saxon prefix which means noble. Ka is Egyptian and refers to the spiritual part of a person or god that survives after death alongside the soul and could reside in a statue of the person, possibly a reference to how it resides in Ahtal Nesto and controls it as if it was its own body. So put together Ahtal-Ka would mean something like "Noble Egyptian Spirit".
@@keimasilver INTERESTING! See why I suggested that he explores more of the names? Thanks for the info!
@@keimasilver You may not know this, but Fatalis and Dire Miralis is a species also related to each other, which technically makes them cousins. The same with Zorah and Lao Shan Lung. Thank lord for the translated books.
I love you for this.
And we need definitely more MH videos, especially on the lore because it's super deep and interesting.
Just as a side note, the word "forest" isn't pronounced the way he said it in polish, it's actually Las for a single forest, and Lasy for plural.
Las is pronounced the same way you would pronounce Lass, as in pub lass. While lasy, is the same except for the addition of the polish "y" sound, which the closest I can think of rn, is how you read the "i" in "illegitimate".
However he is right in the name's meaning, in polish Leshen is actually spelled Leszy, and is referred to in many names, the one I'm most familiar with is leśny dziad which quite literally translates as forest old man.
Most basically the leszy was a slavic demon that resides in the woods, and takes on the appearance of an old man, with unbelievably white skin, that shows through branches, or something along those lines.
you'd better have another one of these when Rise gets released, I wanna hear more about the beautiful Mizutsune/Tamamitsune!
He clearly didn't research the monsters well enough, because some of the things he's speculating about are confirmed in game.
And also some of the things he said are just wrong lmao
DID YOU CALL LAVASIOTH THE SUBSPECIES OF JYURATODUS?! Lavasioth is from a older Monster Hunter game, Monster Hunter Frontier. So them calling Lavasioth "Lava Jyuratodus" is completely impossible because Jyuratodus wouldn't have been a thought for a while
I noticed that too, it bothered me so much
Even if that is true it could be like how the galar zigzagoon is technically the first zigzagoon according to lore when it came like 6 gens later that and even still its a Piscene wyvern one of the most infuriating species of monsters available so who really cares that much
7:50 Diablos actually means "Two Horns" ( Dia -> two; blos -> horn), just like Monoblos means "One horn" (Mono -> One; blos -> horn).
With the sheer amount of little details, lore and love put in the monster hunter series, you could make a whole channel built with just this
Allot of mistakes when it comes to pronunciation of monster names and quite a few mess ups with monster lore but it's a good vid
I have to wonder if he's actually played a monster hunter game or did proper research.
@@ArgenteonYT It's clear he did his research, but assuming he either didn't play the games or only played world, a few of his mistakes are very fair to make from such a position.
@@BlimpBlomp he said that he played tri too. I actually heard many people mispronounce names even though they played from FU
It should be noted that Rathalos's official Japanese name is Lioleaus/Rioreusu. Hiryu is its Japanese title, translated into its English title, the Fire Wyvern. Lioleaus is most likely derived from Leo/Lion, and Basileus, meaning king. LITERALLY, the Lion King, emphasizing its honorary title of "King of the Skies". Plus, according to a developer interview (credit goes to Gaijin Hunter for detailing this), Tigrex was named to contrast Rathalos in its debut in Monster Hunter Freedom 2nd with the Tiger in Tigrex contrasting the lion in Lioleaus. Also, Tigrex is officially pronounced "Tee-grex ". I also don't really agree with it...
I shouldn't really be saying this given my thoughts on how he handled this video, but yeah no Tigrex is pronounced Tie grex I don't care what the devs say.
Ti is pronounced "à la française", since there’s literally the word "Tigre" in its name (I’ve been saying Ti-grex for years, but looking back Tee sounds better)
... Did he just Brachydios has small arms?! No! Brachy was specifically designed to be different from other brute wyverns to have big arms ment for attacking, not T Rex like ones like on Barroth or Deviljho. Please do at least a little bit of research on MH before you do a video on Gnoggin, I know you're trying to expand your content from not solely being Pokemon, but still man, you gotta do the research.
Well if you actually look closely he kinda does have surprisingly small arms for his size. Those things that look like his fists are actually more like his oversized punching gloves/plates. The arm it's self is a bit on the wimpy side it's just his glove/plate is blocking it most of the time, so you don't notice it very easily. I watched rage gaming to make that discovery.
No Brachy does have tiny claw arms underneath his distinctive pounders so yes technically this guy is right here. The pounders are implied to be something different that are simply utilized by his arm muscles.
@@songbird6414 Imo that's like saying that your skin isn't part of your arm. If they were something that Brachydios just picked up and started swinging around it'd be a different story, but big, thick scales are still part of the Monster.
I though the Gaan in uragaan came from the sound of a jaw dropping and uragaan has a habit of slamming down its jaw as an attack
I thought it was me everytime someone tells me to hunt an uragaan
Learns Lockstin is doing a monster hunter vid. *bursts into room, full excitement*
Ah yes. Lockstin making videos that I never knew I actualy wanted to see.
Plesioth's hipchecks are so powerful, it hipchecked its way into this video from future videos that cover non-MHW monsters.
Sidenote: This wouldn't be discovered on a video that only did research on MHW monsters, but there's another monster similar to Diablos called Monoblos, with the major difference being that Monoblos has one horn, Diablos has a pair. Mono for 1, Di for 2.
lol
This is the video I didn't deserve, but the video I needed
7:06 Zin-Oww-Ga - He got bit by a mosquito during recording.
8:17 dlc introduced a quest where no hunters wanted to kill it so we had to capture it or kill it, everyone captures it though.
Big fan of monster hunter, watch many TH-camrs on it. I see a notification, and see lockstin. Visible confusion.
my reaction exactly
I love when lockstin tries to pronounce spanish
like barrrrro?
Oh yes, Monster Hunter content. Unexpected, but massively welcomed.
Barroth .... Barro in spanish means mud, and if I don't remember badly there is a mission called "El behemoth del barro". Remember that MonHun series takes a lot of spanish words.
I like to think that the “Safi” in “Safi’Jiva” could also be short for “Sapphire” as in relation to the Sapphire Star the commision ingame idolizes. It’s ultimate, party wiping move is called “Sapphire Star of the Emperor” so I think it makes sense
Bhaal in D&D is not a prince of hell. He was one of three gods of death in the Forgotten Realms setting. Specifically the god of assassins and ritualistic murder.
I love that you're covering Monster Hunter 😍😍😍
"Have I been pronouncing things ok?"
NO!!! DEAR GOD NO!!! GLAY VEENUS?!?!? This video is torture for my monster hunting ears!
Yep its torture lockstin.
Don't forget zeenogah.
When you’re a monster hunter fan and he screws up the names and says lava is a subspecies. Lava came first...
@@a_frosty_lynx1989 not something people who discovered the licence with World would be aware of to be fair (even tho he might have found it while searching but that’s another story)
I stopped caring how names were pronounced once Tigrex was canonically "Tee-Grex" rather than "Tai-grex"...
Lockstin about fatalis: "Am I just a carting scrub?"
Me who beat fatalis: yes, yes you are
Fun fact about Rathian. It was the first monster ever designed for this series. In fact the monster on the Logo of the first monster Hunter Isn't Rathalos but Rathian instead. You can tell as the Logo monster has the chin spike that Rathian is known for.
and dont forget this behemoth is also from a collab of final fantasy 14
Behemoth, you're not even going to talk about how this is a crossover with Final Fantasy XIV? I mean you get Dragoon armor from that game for the Behemoth fight in Monster Hunter world
Don't think he wants to talk about him because of ptsd
I just saw this on my notifications and I clicked
You're insane
Generic much
omg ive always wanted Monster Hunter video explained in your style of videos so this is a blessing
Rathalos's Japanese name is Rioreusu, Hiryu is sort of his title.
Also Legiana's Japanese name, Reigiena comes from the characters Rei (レイ) , which is katakana characters equivalent for pronunciation of the first character of Fridge/Reizoko( 冷蔵庫) which means Cold (冷) which is what Legiana's theme is all about.
Can we expect more Monster Hunter videos in the future?¿👀👀
Edit: 9:52 The editor is cultured
There's a lot of misuse/pronunciations of the Japanese names in here. I'm really complaining, mostly saying that some of the meanings you got were pretty off base. A couple notable ones being Diablos and Fatalis. Diablos gets the Di from it's two horns because it is very similar to another older gen monster Monoblos. While the assessment wasn't completely wrong, that part is kinda important. Fatalis' Japanese name however, Miraboreus, (someone can correct me if I'm wrong here) starts with the suffix Mira, most likely derived from the Japanese word for future: Mirai. This is presumably why the English name has to do with fate. Good video still, would totally love to see more Monster Hunter stuff.
Miraboreas I think
@@MurdokEXTRA Not quite the part I was referring to, thanks though.
Um Diablos came like I think it's three games before miraboreus showed up? At least one game before. So that doesn't exactly aply. It's basically the the spanish word for demon. Then throw in able and die and you get a demon that is able and will kill you. Enough said I think. As for Miraboreus it's more of the runner up because they wanted something to look like deablos, act like a deablos but be a different spices.
@@dranoradragonqueen1494 Miraboreas is the Japanese name for Fatalis, the first game's final boss. Monoblos, who you mean, is the first game's single player final boss. Diablos is the second game's two horned counter part to Monoblos.
@@luccasummers4317 I was spelling as I thought you were spelling, it sorry. I'm not great at spelling and I mistook a pice of dirt on my screen as an i. Ok so I looked it up so they showed up in the same game. Still because they showed up in the same game you can't say that one is older then the other spices wise unless it says that in the lore. Tectonically they are the same age then.
I just HATE that Lockstin is getting most of the lore of Monster Hunter WRONG! THESE creatures ARE NOT dragons!!! They are WYVERNS. The devs SPECIFICALLY wanted to emphasize that the monsters of Monster Hunter are wyverns, as in almost every other game, they came across dragons and thus wanted to make their monsters stand out.
And the pronunciation!!! Did he actually play the games!?!?
The wyverns not dragons thing is a bit nitpicky, because the real life meaning of this word is a dragon.
We do actually have class specifically called "Elder *dragon* " I can see where he got confused. But I do agree he should have done a little more research before releasing this vid.
Sorry for being nitpicky. But you can look up what the devs stated. With dragons, there's just not much you can do with them. With the wyverns, you can change there style, and place them in various categories. Most dragons are wyverns, but every wyvern is not a dragon.
In japanese the Wyverns are all called dragons if IRC.
While Elder Dragon are called something like "Old Dragon".
Also certain quests refer to monster like Rathalos as a Dragon. The quest "Red Dragon, Green Dragon" in MHGU for example
Yian Garuga is canonically a product of cross breeding between a yian kut ku with a rathian.
Oh Lockstin, I never knew you were into MH! It's nice to see new content, even though I freaking love your Pokémon theories.
He plays the game but doesn't know the lore for the monsters, sad hunter noises
IKR!
Also Yian garuga isn't just related to Yian kut ku strictly on appearance but is literally The Unholy Offspring of a Yian kut ku and a Rathian.
🐔+🐲=🐺🐦??
@@cerberusstars682 it's not though
@@azure4622 Sorry but I’ve seen way too many people say that Garuga is the offspring of a Kut Ku and Rathian to believe you. Do you have a source?
@@korokseed1619 well i don't know who you've seen say it but

Heres the ecology site, if you head down to taxonomy it says "Yian Garuga is a unique Bird Wyvern that is closely related to Yian Kut-Ku." Note it did not say offspring
Okay, so the move set is a mix of kut ku and rathian with it's own stuff, but that's gameplay. Lore wise it is it's own monster.
There is so much thought put into the origins of video game character names, it‘s amazing.
As a ffxiv player you didn't mention that King behemoth is from a cross over i am told he does the same attacks he does in 14 😆
Yeah it's cool
it does the meteor attack that you use to hide behind for the finisher (or you get a dragoon jump emote that if timed right can evade it) just like the raid. but he also spams an area denial wind spell called charybdis, which while not in ff14 is in some of the other games. it's a pretty faithful representation all things considered. oh it also has a hard aggro component for multiplayer... which is a direct nod to the ff14 component.
@@benjaminrosiek5007 No no no! Charybdis is defintely in 14. It's been a while since I've done the Behemoth FATE but I'm pretty sure its supposed to be based off that boss. And the Behemoth in Palace of the Dead definitely does the charybdis thing.
So about Tzitzi-Ya-Ku’s translation, you are correct that Tzi means Navy, but if you combine two Tzi one after the other it means boobs as well.
Another thing, Radobaan’s name sounds similar to Dorban, which in Hebrew means spur, and is mostly referred to a creature full of spikes on it’s body.
I have a bit of a weak connection for Anjanath. The Janissaries who were the elite Ottoman troops they were famous for a lot, but a big part of there tool kits were glass grenades that were mostly fire unlike the shrapnel from metal ones that would tie into the fire powers of the Anjanath.
I fully support this you should totally go through all the monsters over time
Not gonna lie, i would love to see a name break down for Digimon, i know not all of them would have real meaning or be very interesting, but hey theres like, idk, 7 or more vids you can make probably
I love how English speaking people have little to no problem pronouncing vowels in japanese words but just throw that out the window when it comes to spanish. XD
I just want to say thanks before I watch the video for the great timing since I just got back into Monster Hunter after a bit of a break from it and seeing you upload a video on it.
One thing you missed: Brachydios is literally a jojo reference, the latter part of its name being the name of a jojo villain. It also has a quest in a past game called "Obsidian Is Unbreakable" that gave you an unbreakable diamond. Also, its name quite literally means "Arm God", after how it punches things.
Something to note:
yian garuga is heavily implied (im not sure if its ever been confirmed) to be the product of a Yian-Kutku and a Rathian breeding. They are very aggresive and take design elements from both monsters (most notably the body form of Kutku and the tail+poison of rathian):
That could be a big reason behind the similar naming scheme
INCORRECT. Yian Garuga is a closely related cousin of the Kut-Ku. Seperate species, not a hybrid.
The whole hybrid thing is a fan theory/joke from way, way back in the day.
feels a bit off that right off the bat he tried to seem credible by saying Ala has been haunting him since gen 3. Realy obscure facts that make you think he's played the games, and yet he gets so much wrong. They actually say the monster names in game.
Looks like someone is answering the real questions
*What about dragons!*
I see you're a man of culture as well.
MACHICULATIOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I see you are a fan of Shadversity
But there are only a few true dragons in Monster Hunter, like Fatalis and Alatreon.
@@Dandylion567 You do not understand the reference? Heresy!
@@MegaPokefan97 Machicula-TIOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNSSSSSSS!!!! Hail, Brothers! 👋
Nergigante may also come from Nero in Italian, which means "black", since Gigante also means "giant" in Italian, making him "The Black Giant". It could also reference the Roman emperor Nero, famous for being not such a nice guy
12:56 the pronunciation of Safi from Safi'Jiiva may also come from Sapphire Which ties into Xeno'Jiiva's title "The Sapphire Star" Which that itself is also a tie in to the Monster Hunter Universe's Creation myth.
To summarize the quickly. Only things that existed were Humans and 5 Dragons. The Humans asked why nothing was here. The dragons created an Island in response to the question. A guy went to the Island know why the dragons made the Island and came back with a Scale from each dragon. The humans used these Scales to make the world, the Moon which accidentally created Time and gave humanity mortality and became the MH universe as we know it.
As for how Sapphire star ties into myth. Each dragon did something different. One dove into the ocean to become the Land, one looked to the sky and became the mountains, one took a nap on the land and became the forests, one flew across the land and became the rivers and lakes with it's scales becoming Rain. And the final Dragon took to the sky above and became a shining blue star.
The bazelguese. Also known as Bagel Geese. To be fair, they are aggressive and fill probably steal all your bagels and eat them in front of you before blowing you up.
So the pronounciations here were pretty terrible I won‘t sugarcoat it. I currently don‘t have classes so if you‘d like some help with Monster Hunter stuff I‘m down.
Was anyone expecting *BIRD UP!!* at some point? lol
i cannot believe there were so many influences of indian culture (i am from india) i personally love the series and have played many games but MH is not very popular here so i am just happy to see this
😁😁
Nami means wave, and a common name for anything related to the ocean. So alongside your explanations, it's name could literally mean "abyssal wave" or "abyssal ocean". Physically, it's a draconic jellyfish, and bioluminescent jellyfish with pulsing lights are commonly found the the deep ocean, hence the abyss.
You also will hear this 100 times but incase not I'll say it. Brachydios has smile mold on it not mucus like fungus that propagates by launching spores with explosion...yeaaah and it licks the mold to help it grow faster although also keeping it dormant on itself because of it unique shell. Yada yada you learned something new
Slime, you said smile mold
@@espada7997 Ah yes the ancient and powerful Smile mold it will make you laugh to death...and then explode. Was a typo but hey we all make mistakes and this one made me laugh.
@@luckyday5721 same, I was thinking 🤔 smile mold that's one happy brachy
@@espada7997 Although what would make a Brachy happy would most likely be smashing other monsters and hunters.
