My favorite Elder Dragon theme used to be Kushala, but damn, Chameleos knocked it out of the park this time... By the way, if you're into MH, you might wanna check out my MH covers playlist: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZthghqmQlZfaqps.html

You can see this man KNOWS what he is talking about both in music and as a MH fan 😎

> Examples of attack notes > The entirety of Rajang's theme Yeah that seems 'bout right.

Super interesting note here When Chameleos summons his fog, the battle music actually becomes slightly muffled

4:34 Basically, Chameleos is the Fool or Royal Jester. There to make you laugh at his own antics but also humble you if you get too full of your own.

Kushala Daora: creates giant tornadoes which destroy nature and manmade objects alike Teostra: creates giant explosions and huge flames melting all in it's path Fatalis: through sheer hatred it destroys entire kingdoms and burns them to the ground Chameleos: goes invlisible and licks people

attack notes: exist rajang: what if that was my ENTIRE theme

I needed you in my life. This game's soundtrack is HAUNTING ME with EMOTION but I know next to nothing about music theory. People like you, that other 8-bit guy, Adam Neely, the guy with the big eyebrows and glasses, the girl who 'digests' other music genres, taking the time to explain what we hear and why we feel what we feel, you're just awesome.

Chameleos is my absolute favorite monster in existence, I love him and his theme

I love how mischievous yet intimidating the Chameleos theme is in Rise.

I really enjoyed this, especially when you're talking about the measure. So interesting. I like this mystifying monster and his theme. The old version is also good , but the Rise version of Chameleos theme is amazing with both the tricky ,comical vibes and the dignity of the Elder Dragon. The music is muffled by the fog is what I like about it. Thank you for your interesting video, Davi!

I don't know the first thing about music composition but this was still a good lesson on the topic of Chameleos' theme.

This theme evolves a lot over time but I like how they always balance out the creature's goofy personality with the danger aspect of it all. Great analysis as always! :)

Chameleos' theme in Rise is amazing. A freaking masterpiece. Great video :)

I really love how this theme keeps changing and evolving. In the middle where it gets really intense and dramatic especially when the vocals come in. Then towards the end it becomes more triumphant and victorious. Great battle music! Fascinating as always Davi! Thank you.

Ibushis theme you should maybe review sometime that theme is SO good. Great review btw this was pretty enjoyable as I don’t actually watch theme reviews normally.

I'm currently making a piano arrangement for Chameleos, and your analysis of the theme really helped me out in using the right technique to create a cover that best describes the monster! Especially the breakdown for time signature changes. Thank you!

Just found your videos and omg thank you for understanding how amazing the MH music is and explaining it in such a technical and specific manner.

Great video as always! I love all of the new passages they've added to the Elder Dragon themes this time around - Teostra's new theme sounds straight up funky

I would also point out that the sound itself, the whoosh in the left ear suggests looking over your shoulder, something is looming there, which definitely fits chameleos vanishing and appearing elsewhere, be on your toes, he will find your blind spot.

I love the transition to a more serious tone in this track. Great observation! At first it does seem like this monster isn't much of a threat with it's strange poses and movements, but you quickly realize how dangerous it really is- that thing basically destroys entire villages while invisible so that nobody has an idea of what's happening! Scary...

Totally awesome! Learning somethings that are very interesting when its about music! Let alone on a favorite game of mine haha! Keep up the content!

Chameleos it’s kinda of a weird but funny monster. The way he walks and the way he just acts like a jerk because he likes doing it. And the theme adds to the Joking. He’s just a big Dragon that’s actually having a little bit of fun. Then he takes it seriously and that second part shows it.

Oi Davi. A very insightful video this week, which I really enjoyed. I shall forever be imaging monsters tiptoeing around now and that makes me smile! Thanks Davi :)

Transitioning from the heroic bit to the part at 7:47 now makes me think of the hunter going in for a big attack only for Chameleos to steal something super important. Wah-wah-wahhhh

Highest quality Monster Hunter music analysis channel on KZfaq. I feel like I'm learning a lot from you, and it makes the songs more interesting to listen to on subsequent hunts.

Very interesting, learning a lot about music theory from these videos. By the way, you mentioned "attack notes"... Did you realize that the attack notes from Shrine Ruins are nearly identical to the ones from the Monster Hunter Generations arena theme? I found it interesting, since those themes have a totally different vibe otherwise! Great job on these Monster Hunter videos, keep it up.

It's remind of how kingdom hearts soundtrack were in the first game( mostly) tense and ghoofy at the same time ( when you talk about the xylophone ) Hope you talk more about some soundtrack in rise even other games if the soundtrack is crazy like some ff14 ost , or go shiina's music, keiichi okabe , even Motoi Sakuraba (yeah he's becoming old .. ) they're lot of crazy composer in Japan xD

Hey, something you didn't mention that I find really cool is the sort of discordant high-pitched flute leading up to the first vocal section is extremely evocative of Japanese cinema, specifically to indicate haunted or supernatural places. Which I think really works with Chameleos' "fill the map with mist" attack.

At 4:54 it sounds like the voices and chords say CAH-MELE-OS! on the chords so I thought that was cool. You may not hear it but it kinda sounds like that

Ughhh its fucking awesome seeing an analysis of Chameleos's song. Its always been my favorite theme song in the series, ever since I was a little kid lol. You HAVE to check out the Monster Hunter Orchestra version of this song.

It's really crazy how the feel of the songs changed in the Rise version of the game, sounds a bit more funny especially in the start compared to the old XX/MH2 version. Still really nice.

I never thought the techniques used by composers to make the player feel a certain way until now, and damn was this insightful. I would love to see an analysis video on the invading tyrant (Bazelgeuse's theme) because it's a banger and I like the feeling of dread and intimidation I feel. Good video bro, keep up the good work

I just can't stop commenting, I'm on a total binge this is so fascinating to me. What you say about the introduction, I'd ask whether you'd consider the harsh heavy action notes to be the actions of you, the hunter, rather than anything to do with the monster. Chameleos is just chilling around the Ruins and scaring the shit out of everyone purely by nature of what it is. The action notes would denote the action of you smacking this, in its opinion, harmless lizard over the face and the cartoony nature afterwards would be his response to that. "Oh you want to play? Sure, let's play hide and seek!"

This theme is so much FUN. I Love fighting chameleos because of this track

This track is very interesting, I like it. It’s jazzy, mischievous, whimsical even, very unique for an Elder Dragon soundtrack.

God I’m really glad Chameleos got buffed up on Master Rank. He still a goofy guy but now he’s capable to cart hunters if they underestimate him.

Can't believe I never noticed those 5-beat measures in there! The 3s and 2s are noticeable but just feel like triplets and a transition mostly. The 5s just blend right in as if they're normal 4/4 measures unless you're counting. Fitting for Chameleos!

Whenever I’m going to add a new song to my playlists I look to see if Davi has a video on it and decide whether I add it when I watch. Chameleos made the cut!

Chameleos is just a elder dragon that was to have fun! and kill you... but having fun is the important part! Also i love the break down of the song! Im not a music person at all but its nice to learn some things about the songs

I can't wait for you to do Kushala Daora! :D

Just discovered you thanks to my Recommended! I love nerding out over game music and MH just has some of the best. It would be awesome to see you review monster themes that have phases - my favourite of all time is Shantien's from Monster Hunter Frontier, which has 4 phases of buildup and the end is just incredible. Or Fatalis from MHW! Regardless though I'm excited to see whatever you choose next!

I like watching this because he genuinely enjoying the process of analysing themes in monster hunter

cool, I learned something new

Chameleos Theme: "I am Fun~! But i'm not the one to mess with."

Great quality here! Wish I found this channel earlier

If you get a chance try some of the old monster hunter frontier, I would suggest Inigami’s theme if only for the unique instrument choices

One of my favorite monster theme

I like how the old theme only played when hes mad But this one is cool too

So first things first. His theme here is just...I like how he's basically a playful troll and the theme conveys it. He's dangerous, but he's gonna do the wiggle dance and then burp poison before horribly maiming you. Even in his intro video he just messes with the felyne and then thwaps him with his own weapon. I do wanna ask though...I don't think you've done it but I actually have to ask if maybe one day you'd be willing to do vaal hazak's theme. The vale just holds a special place to me. I mean it has blood puppy, megachin, paralyze snake, and meat covered fish dragon. Also the fact the entire map is the corpse of Dalamadur, and has a Lao-Shan Lung skull at the bottom. So hearing a reaction to something from there would be nice. Though all the elders are just intense. I mean look at Shara Ishvalda, Velkhana (who has...just so many themes. Like over 5 remixes of it in game), and Namielle. Too many good songs.

Great video. If you haven't! Already, I'd recommend reacting to Zinogre's theme. It's really good and unique.

Kushala Daora - Check Chameleos - Check Teostra - (Missing!)

I'm not sure if you've seen this, but I think you'd find it interesting! www.reddit.com/r/MonsterHunter/comments/klqc14/interview_with_rises_sound_team_on_the_music_of/? Also I need to catch up on your videos lol, fantastic analysis as always! Chameleos theme has always been one of my favorites if not my favorite, and I'm satisfied with this version

You should totally look up the ceadus theme from monster hunter 3 tri! I think its name is moonquake and it is a phenomenal song!!

Sometimes I have mixed feelings about remixes of old MonHun themes but they really knocked it out of the park with Chameleos. I LOVE it's new theme, even over the original.

Anyone else firmly believe that The monster (and the fight itself) is as much as a musical instrument as the actual instruments, The Chameleos' song wouldn't work with something like a rajang or Teostra. The most important instrument is the monster itself *Edit: Another example is the Nargacuga's common lunge slashes that perfectly compliment the pace and rhythm of almost every section of the song

It's a good song and it's interesting to see someone break down WHY it's a good song

I'd like to see his thoughts on the Frontier soundtrack, it's really good.

The song is excellent at portraying the fact that Chameleos isn't a monster that ever fights seriously. He's very strong and dangerous, but he always seems more intent on messing with you more than anything. It's what makes him lovable, if anything

It is pretty much the same as the one in MH4U but with little differencies

Little is the size of a school bus

Like your content ! Got my sub

I know very little about music theory but to me it sounds as if Chameleos is playing with the Hunter since he knows his mist and invisibility can confuse them. It keeps a bit of tension since he knows he’s being killed which reflects his poison. When the vocals kick in, I feel as if Chameleos has had enough and is now fighting with greater effort while still trying to toy with the Hunter.

One of my favorite themes, if not my favorite. It's nice how, at a certain point, the xilophone (Chameleos) seem somewhat overlapping over the vocals (presumably the hunters) as the monster is made to be annoying.

He should react to magnamalo and nwrgigantes theme, as well as monster hunter worlds fatalis theme,its lit!

Do the Bazelguese theme PLS! Especially compare it with World Version!

Can you make one of magnamalo theme?

It fits him, he ain’t like his elder dragon brethren, symbolizing chaos and destruction he is only just looking to have some fun and poke at United’s with goofy and mischievous tactics

Do you think you could Zinogre’s Rise theme?

wow you sounds very brazillian

I want to watch kung fu panda now

pls react to dark soul 3 ost

69th comment. 😎

For as good as this one sounds, i still prefer the old one. The choir kinda ruins it...

Still like the old one more. This one just has too much going on to fit Chameleos.

Not a fan of this one, I just loved the OG Chameleos Theme. You realy felt like your in a Forrest and Mist is everythere.

Está feo el nuevo tema de combate del Chameleos XD prefiero el antiguo

His old theme is way better!
