After breaking under the 200 now we are dealing whit the real Monster, not jokes, failures, or bad recolor concepts.
-Copper below the 200? I feel thats very unfair. Sure hes not great, but he was the og, the first Subspecies who gave a shit and changed some stuff.
-Emerald probably deserves better, but I understand why people disslike the farting, fair I guess.
-I think Ruby souldnt be high, but at least top 200, but well. Not a bad Subspecies as Subspecies.
-Ok whit Volvidon im dissagreeing for the first time fully. I think hes great.
Im bored so im gonna rate the wilds monsters:
Doshaguma 3.7/5
Great intro monster alongside chatacabra, fun to pop wounds when enraged, cool earthquake attack.
Chatacabra 2.8/5
Somewhat outshined by his fellow tutoriel monster but his gimmic is interesting.
Balahara 3.8/5
Doshaguma is a more challanging fight, but bala's visual design is rad so he gets the edge.
Rey Dau 4.7/10
The lightning rail cannon monster. Need i say more?
The other monsters will be rated without decimals since i havent fought them yet:
Quematrice 2/5
Looks a bit Goofy without having any atributes that compliment that.
Lala barina 4/5
I like athropod monsters in general and the rose theme is gorgeous.
Uth duna 5/5
Great design, the water waves are a cool elemental interaction and it reminds me of namielle.
Rompopolo 3/5
A high 3 for this one, the concept is very distict and it adds some needes variety to the brute wyvern catagory.
Ajarakan 3/5
He looks like if you injected a statue from a chinese temple with an obsene amount of steroids, cool monster.
Black flame: 5/5
A lovechild between nakarkos and gogmazios, what else could you possibly want?
For arkveld and one other monster, i will refer to the datamine leaks to explain my thoughts. So do not read the rest of the comment to not get spoiled. Just know that i rate both a 5.
SPOILERS IN 3

Arkveld 5/5
A monster stealing elements from other monster to fight with is super creative and lets the fight have some more replay value. Being an artificial lifeform that escaped is also an awsome concept, which also applies to the other guardians. And you cant go wrong with the wing whips, cool they brought that over from frontier.
Final boss: Zotia 5/5
The equal dragon weapons concept has finally been realised, a semiorganic superweapon is a dope concept and i cannot wait to fight it!
I feel like I'm one of the VERY few people that actually like Zorah Magdaros. Aside from his fight being bad and or boring, Zorah is a really decent mountain elder dragon when compared to something like lao y'know? I'm not gonna go super in depth as to why i love Zorah Magdaros, it's just that he has some incredible top notch lore. He's just an old, big, red snapping turtle elder dragon 🥹
You know what's also big and red? A Christmas hat! I love Christmas hats :3
(Especially when my favourite comfort monster viper Tobi-kadachi is wearing it <3)
Honestly no shocking placement on here. Nightshade I had a grudge against because of how annoying it was to fight it with the sleep element when I was going through the story, now however I like it a bit more after fighting it again in the guiding lands finding I enjoy the fight a lot more…plus at that point I have also long started counter building against monsters which helped.
Fucking hate Basarios, he should've gotten worse
Ill add a comment here i didnt make on the uragaan poll.
I loved this guy in tri, he was new, cool and tough as hell. I remember playing on the wii servers and i would often be the only hammer/impact in the group. Getting kos on him felt great cause i knew i was doing my job. If i ever got the chin break i felt like a god. Modern day I think rado is just cooler
Hey, I made it into this one for Volvidon! Cool! He's just such a fun little guy. This series will be a nice treat each day for the next couple of weeks.
Volvidon my boyyy
A bit sad, that my comment on Zorah didn't make it in. Since i really like the giant Turtle dragon.
And I'm sad he is this low, but I can understand why.
If we get basarios and gravios, I kind of want them to not have the heating up mechanic. Every monster seams to have an attack where, either mid animation or after it, you can do a focus strike without a wound, Make that a thing for the belly explosions. I do love the mimic comparison. Yes, but his pappa also shits horse tranquilizer. Joking aside, I do appreciate that the sleep gas is easily explained as being like volcanic gas, carbon monoxide is terrifying. I do also like the idea of the rock wyverns with the tigrex shape, a shame these guys came before that shape existed and also a shame that we have so few monsters using said skeleton.
Yes, the cocaine bear. That's perfect.
I just find it odd to have a monster who is a pack leader have a subspecies where the pack is gone. Why? That said, he's not the worst offender, that's baleful gigginox, for a whole host of reasons.
I'm still very sad that Wilds seams to have just copied stuff from Generations and ignored 1 of the best things Rise ever did. Aurora was a sacrifices to someday make aerial glaive shine, it has a sweeping beam that will move upr or down, mid way, as it goes over ledges. Just have that for more attacks to counter IG's mid air shenanigans and then the devs don't have to be cowards, either making aerial IG weak or nonexistent.
In the black gravios comment I forgot about his beam uppercut move. That move is pretty cool. He kind of does the beam under his head and then sweeps it's up at you twice taht can make this death cone combo.
Nightshade's moveset changes were always nice and fun. Easy to have sleep res or some energy drinks on hand to deal with him. I like how his attacks can move the sleep clouds. When you first fight him, maybe not having much master rank gear yet because you want to keep your meta arch tempered armor, his spin charge from the fog is terrifying. Also funny that, in his intro, he just knocks you out before leaving. I just get 1 good look at him before passing out.
Honestly, I think that zorah is Honestly wasted potential. Such a cool monster to have such a bad fight. I think zorah could have been either more aggressive during the siege or a session-wide seige fight with tools more similar to that of the rampages. Zorah could also have easily been an endemic life type role like the monk snail, who's just in the background.
Beotodus officially best piscine as we all knew
Damn, didn't expect to see my comment show up for Nightshade. Granted, I realized as the polls moved to 5th Gen monsters I found I had a LOT more to say, so those big bloody paragraphs likely may not appear as much.
Hilarious hearing Fortuan pronounce my name. So hype to see this series coming out, and curious if we'll be getting some analysis of the results after all the vids are out?
Why Basarios so low😢 I love that rock monster so much also Gravios
day two! people liked my last one so here is my tldr on each monster for today
Basarios. i really like him and his dad alot, awesome ecology and concept and good fights too super unique for the time especially . i hope him and Gravios return 4/5
Apex arz. i think the base bear is meh, and has always been mid. and apex doesnt make him any better and takes away his one thing he has, his cuteness and not in a cool paria into supremacy thing, hes like lazy edgy the way people think Ra Ro is (they are wrong about that btw) 1/5
copper is the first really unique Sub and has really great ecology mainly due to base being great already, he goes hard 4/5
E.conga. hes above average for the time but really falls off due to time i dont think he looks good and this is coming from a green enjoyer 2/5
Zorah is… a shame. hes cool so cool in concept but bro his fight is just a spectacle like genuinely it couldve been a 5 min cutscene and i think nothing would be different overall in fact probably better. and the fact they spent almost all of world just making him on the side trying to make something but they just couldnt do it right at all even AT is a Snore 2/5
Blue yian. i like blue more as a color but still the same as base and base ahs had alot more love and become alot more unqiue so over all worse 2/5
plesi is a monster i think can only be described as legendary. and ill say it his fight isnt bad all things said and done janky but still fun in a messuped way. i love how he looks i love what he does and man he is so funny i want him back so so so much especially with underwater 4/5
Uragaan is a perfectly great monster, especially in frontier and tri he is so much fun, but his design is just kinda not great due to the chin and not great texturing 3/5
ruby is a monster that means almost nothing to me, and fills like just filler and doesnt expand on basa or gravi. not bad just kinda bland 2/5
Aurora somna is sad. like the concept art looks incredible and they dont expand her at all and just ends up being a more samey somna which sucks cus somna is amazing 2/5
voli is the only bear before rise and wilds that was really good, i love him his geara, ecology and design and his rise icon is amazing 4/5
apex rathian is a better design then dread queen and a better fight too but still just kinda okay over all. 2/5
i hate rathalos, like objectively hes a great monster but me and him have beef, like he harasses me for no reason and never gives me good drops, and there fore azure is also a hated monster, awful sub and there isnt even a rise version to save him. and im dont even like to imply hes a flagship cus hes fucking not 0/5
Black gravios is phenomenal, a even cooler gravi in every way and small changes make it notable so yeah 4/5
velocidrome is a monster, the first monster you fight and it isnt very great cept in the first game… hes okay i loved seeing his babies come back tho 2/5
NS pao is a monster that inconcept is like awesome but like zenith inagami spams sleep though unlike zenith ina you cant get chain locked or can get a imunity (fuck Z inagami's fight z sleep is awful) anyway yeah hes fine just kinda anoying 2/5
LET'S GOOOOOOO
Wait what, Basarios is this low?
11:00 😢 My boy got worse than Urgaan, born too early to show everyone the peak that you are
Black gravios should have been lower
Aw shucks me and my harder-to-prounounce than I thought name are on TV! I'll defend the piscine wyverns to my dying breath
Sad to see none of my comments read yet, but I also didn't care about most of these guys that much. It was a lot of "this is just another monster but harder, -1 of what I gave the original", which isn't very interesting. Really hope my comments for Tobi-Kadachi(favorite) and Kushala Daora(most despised) make it in once we get to them though.
Lmao, can't believe my basic ass comment on Apex Rathian made it into the video.
Also, who are the Aurora apologists? Y'all need to be studied.
Thank you very much for showing my words normally I don’t do this kind of thing because normally it’s a waste of my time but I wanted to share my passion to the fanbase & you went out of your way to put them in front of your audience’s eyes. And for that, I thank you.
From the four editions of Plesioth i fought, none was nearly as bad as some people widely claim the monster to be. Hipcheck is easily i-framable, you can stand between his legs to hit them and the belly, jet beam attack is free damage for you if you're close. The only bad (bad) things are having to fish/sonic bomb him out of the water, and the tail hitboxes on his spin attack
On ruby basarios. When he comes back they should change it to gemstone basarios and have it be on every map with different colors and different elements/statuses.
If copper Blangonga has no fans I am dead
Basarios was the Dodogama of Old Monster Hunter and i love him, he doesnt deserve the hate. Btw wasnt the lore behind blue kat ku is that he eats blue crabs?
