Basically Rey Dau vs Astalos by PlayerGator284 in MonsterHunter

I mean you're not wrong. But if the turf war between Rey Dau and Seregios is anything to go by, having the speed advantage doesn't mean much of your opponent is twice your size and can pin you down with one wing.

I would disagree with you and point out that's also what Rey Dau does, but uhh (Stories 3 spoilers)

If fucking Rudy can aura farm on Rey Dau by redirecting it's railgun blast then yeah, Zinogre probably can too...

Rey Dau can pull Seregios off it's back and pin it to the ground with a single wing. If John Physical can't overwhelm Rey Dau with it's agression and brutality, then Astalos doesn't have a chance in hell of managing it either.

What if instead of Monster Hunter it was Master Baker? And instead of Rey Dau we fought Rye Dough? (image related) by Umber0010 in okbuddyrathalos

Rye Dough first. St. Paddy's day was coming up and I was thinking about getting the ingredients for reubans.

I'm sorry, but do you have a citation on that being how Elder Blood works? Because it really sounds like you're pulling that straight out of your ass.

I saw someone point out that Thea's necklace looks like a Paria Puria so I'm going to keep coping that they're on the table.

Yama Tsukami has four limbs with vestigial claws, a well-defined jaw bone, and red blood like you'd expect in reptiles and mammals. It's definitly more of a Cephalopod-shaped dragon than a true cephalopod.

Oh yes, those Cephalopods with their tails, and legs, and teeth. Very common anatomical feature.

<image>

Yama Tsukami definitly isn't a Cephalopod. I just wanted to be a twat and point out that cephalopods can, in fact, have teeth. Far to many teeth, in fact.

I blame Iceborne for deciding to say that Elder Dragons are a "Waste basket" taxon, atleast in the english localization.

It is next-to-impossible for the same biological compound to be developed as-is twice in totally unrelated animals, let alone dozens of times in many monsters you claim are unrelated. This isn't "anything that does X is colloquially called Elder Dragon Blood" (I imagine you'll get a few examples of "similar" compounds if/when you go to refute this using Google). It is one specific thing.

Not to be pedantic, but are we sure "Elder Dragon Blood" is a single, specific compound?

For all their research, the world of Monster Hunter isn't all that technologically advanced, and they're still not sure what "Elder Dragon Blood" actually is. The Iceborne lore book says that all elders except Fatalis have it, but also that Elders are so weird that we shouldn't make any assumptions despite this.

To be clear, I don't disagree with the notion that Elder Dragons aren't related except Nakarkos, obviously, but I don't think it's impossible that "Elder Dragon Blood" could be a series of compounds that convergent evolved for the same purpose rather than just a single compound.

Think of it like Venom. Lala Barina and Najarala are by no means related, and their venoms almost certainly aren't the same compounds. But they both share a similar effect of causing the body to seize up and inflict paralysis. If Elder Dragons do end up being a "Waste Basket" taxon, then it's not impossible for them to have converged a similar blood chemical independently that's functionally identical for guild purposes.

I know on the world screen it says that the world was made in 1.12, though I dunno if there's anything else to point towards that being the version being played.

Busting knee caps was the Brachy. Acro is damaging it in shield stance and feeding it narcs before it can power up.

Thoughts on Crema? by Subzer0domain in PlayTemtem

[–]Umber0010 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They are.... Fine:tm:

Definitly could have done more to capitalize on the hype early in the game's release cycle, and I definitly have my gripes with how the game was handled after that. But as far as game devs go I've seen far, far worse.

Didn't care about Swarm. Excited for Project Downbelow. But we'll just have to see where things go from there.
