"here's radobaan without bones" honestly i was waiting for him to collapse into jelly lmao

I like the implication of gargantuan skeletons, giving the impression some species used to be much larger, but environmental conditions enforced better survival odds for smaller individuals

I love how you can see great Jargas comin in from far away “OH BOY HE COMIN”

I feel like a Monster researcher attending a lecture on Monster physiology given by Professor T.C. Shark.

I dont know why but that Elgado Seabird made me laugh uncontrollably

I love the small detail that if you wait in camp long enough when not in the tent at Castle Schrade, Fatalis will eventually start lobbings fireballs there to kill you. And they very much can kill you, too!

24:30 I think the fossilized shells are a hint that the Rotten Vale was underwater at some point in the past. It would make sens since the creatures found in the Corral Highlands, which is just above the Vale, have evolved from aquatic lifeforms. My quick headcannon is that the Vale used to be a vast network of sea faults and caverns, which eventually dried up and got filled with decomposing carcasses, making it the Rotten Vale. The fact we can find a species of coelacanth here is probably another clue. I haven’t played World in ages so there are probably a lot of things I’m missing here, but I like this idea.

7:21 it's crazy that the seabirds were also designed to be a wyvern and stay lore accurate. Amazing attention to detail for something we most likely would have missed otherwise!

15:08 No way. That's just amazing! I would have never thought of it! Evolution hasn't made them so defenseless to unholy predators after all!

honestly the creepiest part of shara was the fact that it felt like it was looking past the hunter and at the person on the other end of the screen, i have a screen cap of the end hunt screen and it's just shara looking directly at me

The fact that the majority of the playerbase would never even notice so many little things such as cutting the web of Rakna to make it topple, the details in the environment and on the monsters just put into perspective how much the Monster Hunter franchise is a labor of love.

1:10 Ok, now _this_ is what i call a genius design. They not only made his tail work like an Hunting Horn but also shaped his body to resemble a violin?! Whoever thought that out better have received a raise!

2:53 as a guy that uses hammers to hunt Radobaan, I’ve seen this quite a bit

I love the insinuation that since the hunter has heard proof of a hero its a song that exists in the mh world to honor the hunters.

great start for this day, the absolute pride we get when '' I ACTUALLY KNEW THAT''

It's nice to just see the monster models and admiring the details that go into their design and biology accompanied by calming music. Something that is kinda lost when you're being hunted by them lol. I'm just a casual MH fan but man do I love how thought out each of the monster's biology are. The MH design team deserve their praises.

Bro made an entire lore for every Monster body parts which im actually quite happy to learn about. Thank you for making this video😢❤

The Shara illusion is actually genius. They were able to make it so it would seem Shara is always looking at you without having to program it.

46:13 That was crazy with the two legiana turf war with savage deviljho and the hilarious part that it cut of right before the hunter get hit

7:20 this looks like a model someone would rotate and put low quality funky town over

12:20 this is really cool as it feels a lot like a biological quirk that's been mythicized by the playerbase, in the same way the hunters often do so for most of the monsters it makes a certain degree of sense form an adaptive standpoint to, in its most physically vulnerable form Shara Ishvalda has a trait that potentially tricks predators into thinking it can always see them

40:15 Ah yes, because Tigrex out of all monsters wouldn't be the one to aggressively chase you back the most.

11:55 I was not prepared for Shara to go wall-eyed right there. I went from being creeped out to busting out laughing in a second

17:56 Ah yes, the Plesioth Maneuver.

Im so glad someone else noticed the cats making bread in seliana. Both kitchens in seliana and astera have incredible details and are SO CUTE

19:40 So Deviljho won't eat it's own tail but the Apceros sure will😭

28:10 Imagine that eats up your final cart when the Glavenus is almost dead. I don't think I would be able to resist breaking my controller in half.

5:45 I like how it adds more depth to the biology and behavior. Implying Jho tears and swallows meat whole, since his jaw can unhinge

30:29 I talked often to the huntsman in my first playthrough because y’know he’s cool and I really liked how he is so obviously a caricature of the old time purist hunters who refute any new mechanic added to the game (as demonstrated by world’s pre launch period where people were worried scoutflies would “remove the thrill of the hunt” or something like that). Not like worrying isn’t valid of course it’s just sometimes is too much.

Another fun fact is that in the last sunbreak cutscene, Malzeno will retain the damage you gave it, so any part breaks are still there

And ya gotta think, so much of this stuff flies under the radar, never gets seen, barely gets recognized. But it was all made and rigged and animated and programmed. So much fuckin work goes into these games man

Putting MH3 musics with MHW monsters just chilling is so fitting. Both focused with the beauty of nature

18:22 She got tired of hammer abuses so she was like "No ice patch slide for you!" In sunbreak.

But the illusion on shara was not an accident, they did it to have the same effect of it following the camera.

12:00 I laughed so hard from its eyes crossing in opposite directions 🤣

12:43 This is something they utilized when making sarcophagi in ancient Egypt. If you've ever seen one in a museum, a lot of them have concave eyes like that so it seems like the pharaoh is watching you no matter where you stand around it.

Capcom really pushed the limit on how far you can go with a monster concept with how much detail you can put into it.

28:07 "Your tail is mine!!!!!!" Glavenus: "I activate my Trap Card!" ...damn, that detail

The fact that there's a whole "idle" animation of a felyne making dough...guh, MHW is my favorite in the series. So many niche things in it that you can tell are there because the creators put a lot of love and care into it. Furthermore, with all of said attention and detail, it all comes together to really make World feel like a vast ecosystem.

The end of this is a 10/10. Savage Jho really do be like; "I don't want peace... I WANT PROBLEMS, ALWAYS!!"

Some other things I know of. 1. In W:I Rathalos and Glavenus can have different outcomes to their turf wars depending in which area of a map they fight in. In areas that are relatively flat, Glavenus wins. Areas with elevation differences, Rathalos wins. 2. The more fire resistant a monster is the less damage they take from Torch Pod flames on the ground. Teostra takes 0 damage yet in Rise it can be set on fire by a beetle's rock collection. This also applies to other elemental slinger shots in that do more damage to monster is weak to that element or less if its resistant to it. It's an insignificant detail, but I appreciate it and I hope in MH6 they revise the Elemental Blights on monsters so that monsters are resistant or immune depending on their natural resistances. 3. Brightsmoss does thunder damage when fired with the bow's 1000 Dragons move. 4. In Rise you can cancel Basarios' digging, swim like attack by throwing a Mud beetle at it or Wirebug jumping then tossing a Large Barrel Bomb down on it. This causes it to be immobile for a short while like its trapped in a pitfall trap. I don't see people use this tactic at all. Usually, a majority of people just dodge roll or wirebug up to avoid it. Afflicted Basarios can be a bit resistant to it though.

24:00 This right here is one of the reasons MHW areas feels more like ecosystems than Rise's. Creatures are actually living their lifes even if you're not there

46:12 Exactly why deviljho is my favourite. Shows up, kicks EVERYONE'S ass, kills hunter. Chad monster.

the feylne making dough I noticed around a month ago, I legit spent between 10 and 15 mins just smiling, the sheer amount of passion put into world and iceborne is unmatched with ANY other video game I ever watched, every corner is filled with something new I never knew about its so much and I love it even more because of these small things I really hope MH6 will have similar level or higher of details and charm!

I'm actually kind of glad that the developers added the detail of the herbivore small monsters eating the tail cuts in World, even if they eat them in the slightly wrong place. Many herbivores in real life will eat meat when provided, as it contains much needed protein! It's a great detail to have included imo Edit 1: I've gotten farther into the video (I'm commenting as I go along), the Rath and Diablos corpses in the Vale is really interesting considering that the Highlands and Vale are physically separated from the Forest and Waste by the Great Ravine. I wonder how those got there, they look relatively fresh... then again, Raths and Diablos _are_ Flying Wyverns, and there's at least a Rath subspecies in the Elder's Recess, so I suppose it's not inaccurate to guess that the Raths and Diablos were travelling, maybe in search of new territory, and were killed by the effluvium? Edit 2: Further on, at the 32:15 mark. I noticed this when I was starting Iceborne for the second time, but Viper Tobi-Kadachi's pupils reflecting light in certain lightings is SUCH A COOL DETAIL! I audibly went "That's so cool" when I saw that it applied not only to the cutscene, but in gameplay as well! To those who don't know, the pupil reflecting light is caused by the tapetum lucidum, which is a thin layer of tissue in the eyes of many vertebrates that allows for better low-light vision. I can only assume Viper has this because it's more used to staying in the lower levels of the Reach, away from the blinding snow and ice and light in general, where as regular Tobi spends lots of time out in broad daylight in the Forest. Edit 3: 38:56 This.... is extremely good to know! I see all this dialogue in game relating to the Tale of the Five, but I've never known the Tale itself, so I'm glad to know I can actually read it in game! Edit 4: 39:35 OWL STANCE!!!! Bird features like this are some of the reasons that Legiana is one of my favourite monsters, if not my actual full on favourite in World. Edit 5: Note, this is only my final edit of this message on my first watch! I'll probably add more as I rewatch :) That said... That is the fastest rising bread dough I have ever seen what _monster yeast_ are these Palicoes using???

28:25 gosh that would be such a cool moment to randomly stumble upon

Okay I’m gonna be honest, learning bisha is a marsupial is kinda throwing me for a loop

*OH HELL YEEAAAAAHHH* 3:20 haha Basarios be so scared “TEA!? WHAT DID YOU DO TO MEEEEEE!?”

12:03 I heard about that too, but never ever got to know what in particular was truly about it until now. Thank you!

As someone who not only loves to draw the Monster Hunter monsters but is also a big fan of creature design in general, your channel is such a treasure trove of good reference material for both fanart and brainstorming my own monster designs. I love how much thought is put into these games and you do an excellent job of showcasing that, they really feel like actual animals and not just static enemies (makes the zoology student in me very happy!)

When you killed the BD accidently before she could leap, I felt that. It must have been like not getting the part break you need for a material.

8:24 okay, that's enough Monster Hunter trivia for me today.

I love it the tiny little details they put into monster hunter. Makes me estatic for MH6. Both World and Rise did such a good job at paying attention small tiny details, which just help bring the world alive and paint these as animals rather than monsters. Combat may be the reason we play monster hunter, but the countless smaller parts of the game like details, ecology, set building, and more are why we stay so loyal to this series.

11:55: *"I am a demon of the earth, cast in the image of a long-forgotten god, brought here to consume-!"* 11:58: _"-derp."_

38:30 Not just Duffel Penguins! I had pteryxes and hares follow me around the room too! Fun tiny ass detail that prolly nobody noticed but Scavantula's abdomens pulsate! But only after you approach them, before that they are completely static.

12:17 Oh neat so its like Follow Me Eyes on fursuit heads. Or the "rotating" statue heads in the queue for Haunted Mansion at Disneyland

I think a lot of the things shown in this video are the reason people love Monster Hunter so much. The monsters actually have thought put into the biology and physiology of their design, and a lot of the time that's what you can either utilize to your advantage or be wary of. Things like the curled toes for comfortable walking just add that little cherry on top to make these creatures seem like they have evolved and adapted over hundreds of thousands of years

Monster Hunter World always feels like there's a living eco system within the game, the way they kept all the monsters from interacting with the environment will always be the best feature of MH World/Iceborne, and will never feel dull when playing it, I've only just notice a couple of details of MHW just by watching this video, and now it makes me wanna play it again 😁

I could see myself getting baited and smacked by all those potential CG Valstrax moves, especially the short dash into attack combo or the sweep beam.

Little thing to note on the herbivores eating cut tails, is that it makes a lot of sense since herbivores irl eat meat every now and then to get carbs and stuff

You know... as mesmerising as the Felyne making dough at the end was, the one thing that has ever bothered me about Monster Hunter as a whole, is that Felynes who are covered in fur, are cooking. How is there no cat hair or people complaining about it? I MUST KNOW XDDD Otherwise thank you for the trivia Tea Common Shark! This was cosy to watch and listen to when working. Keep up the good job!

She really can make a 46 min video about random trivia and with all of it be interesting

Honestly, with all these small details, I was genuinely surprised Rakna doesn't have a full body modelled beneath the webbing. Not that I, or anyone should expect them to bother with something we'll literally never see, but it seems like the kind of thing they'd have done anyway.

Okay that CG Valstrax beam sweep is actually scary and I had initially expected it to do it in MR (or even for the Risen form). I wonder why they cut it because those unused animations are great and animated very fluidly. Plus they add variety to the moveset and would probably make CG Valstrax a more challenging fight.

I like how you revised many of your points in the previous videos and sprinkled in new stuff periodically, it makes these videos feel fresh and exciting, especially if you watched them back to back multiple times before

Anjanath is such a hodge podge of predator traits. Spike/quills at the tip of tail, powerful body frame, over sized underjaw used for variety of things including digging, not the mention the hip wings and extended nostrils. And tied all up with a splash of a fire sac

4:45 this detail was actually featured in the art book. neat to see it represented

The trick of Shara Ishvalda's eyes is the same that people use in VRChat to make light and simple eyes that give the illusion of tracking the viewer

Man, it always amazes me when learning some carzy details like these. It shows how much love and care has been put into making the game. God, I love this game Imma play it again rn

The one that surprised me the most was definitely the Gobul one. The fact you (or whoever you got this info from) found this out years after the release of hislast appearance in 3U is quite impressive, cuz who would ever think to look inside the mouth of a Gobul during gameplay?! Really cool detail, all in all.

I love all these little details, you can really tell how much love went into these games

Words cannot express how much i absolutely adore your monster hunter trivia videos, like genuinely They hit the Tism the right way in my brain /j

Oooh! I have a story involving Worldborne Tigrex. Apparently A Teostra scared all the small monsters away, depriving the Tigrex of any food, eventually enough time passes for the game to give me multiple "Tigrex is leaving the locale" messages, but the Tigrex was too hungry and tired to move and just waited in the main river bed area of the Wildspire. I guess if a monster goes too long without food, it just refuses to move unless provoked. I eventually aggroed it and got it to eat some of my meat bait, which was enough to satiate it and the Tigrex immediatley left. I have no idea if this was intentional or just a bug.

The absolute goosebumps, seeing the end cutscene of the primordial malzeno fight after it being pointed out that its wings got tattered by the quiro earlier in the video and you end up actually seeing just how much it was affected.

Finally sat down and watched the entire video. Thank you for doing the work that many others wouldn't do. There's so much detail in these games that goes unnoticed! It's a pleasure getting to see someone so passionate about one of my favorite franchises ☺️

God i can tell how many hours ive out into world just seeing how much of this i knew already Good work Tea, love these long format vids!

39:24 that's actually not a real Legiana, but just a background object. They are always there in the reach, even when there's no actual Legiana present. You can see another one like that if you look further up from the first one, and there are many more Legiana in the background. To continue the Legiana talk, I did not know at all Shrieking could vomit from poison, or even that any other monster interacts in such a way from a status. Very cool detail.

Another thing about the Gathering Hub Room If you enter this room from the Hub Door at the Beginning of the game or before finishing the Story, you can enter to The Chamber of the Five aka this room where the research Team reunites during some dialogue scenes through the Story, for example, the scene where the General Explains what Fatalis Is and all the Commission Is there, the room changes to the private room once you finish the Story

I love this channel alot. Its so cool to see the work put into making the monster feel real up close in ways you wont really notice while playing.

It's those little details that make me love Monster Hunter so much. Thanks you!

Another big source of MH triva, very well appreciated to see new fun facts and details. i got some comments for some trivias 2:21 WAIT REAL? i gotta check this particular in action 4:12 did you forgot the eye glasses on grumpy fatalis? 7:11 i was aware that alatreon chest is multidirectional... but not that smaller groups of spikes can move indipendently from other groups of spike, wow 10:00 both the wing deterioration and the skull vs owner size, i like these details,,, with the wing it tells how the qurio effectively hurts malzeno,, for the skulls, it tells that the animal can grow a lot more than what we find in game..... bigger monsters in mh6? 10:45 also holy #### never realized how big the dalamadur skull in the upper level was compared to the alive dalamadur 11:38 hm.... an insect diet gave him similar eyes to a fly? just kidding 12:18 ..................... i have no words..... at least props to Lyra from Resurgence for discovering it and properly showing it 14:10 yeah fully aware of this, he can even tell how popular your weapon is... my swaxe is 10th but damn, longsword is first while lance is 14th 16:30 fun fact, you can use pierce pods on toby kadachi when he climbed on a tree to make him fall (i havent tested yet this interaction with other pods or other monsters like barioth) 17:59 ... me when there is no underwater combat :( 19:30 understandable, they need some protein sources after all, just like in real life 21:18 imagine trying to fool a deviljho with meat in MHW..... he will fool you after using the same jagras you called with the meat 25:47 i'm loving MHW attention to details more and more 26:52 just like good old gen expeditions 31:43 I'LL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK OF YAN GARUGAS, i need every single moly 35:00 i wish gimmicks like this or 2nd charging state of toby kadachi happened more regularly... if we are too strong we completely negate the monsters options like these (looking disdainfully at rise) 36:37 didn't you showed other clips of diablos and black diablos making that same route, in one of your MH trivia? 42:47 did i already said that MHW details are "cheff kiss", such a perfect addition? thanks again for choosing to make such interesting content

The shara one is a cool trick. I wonder what monsters it’s fought off to evolve something like that.

Best video of MH of all time, telling ya ! Thanks for sharing these interesting things from the universe :) what was also very cool is that you take different games generations and not only recent games

Wow the music is so good, i think i've got a new favourite playlist, thank you for the trivia, and the wonderful music!

Man, Learning about all the different things the monsters have like the claw stuff just fascinates me. Makes me wonder if any of the Frontier monsters have stuff like that. Probably not but it would be cool to see regardless.

I'm actually pleasantly surprised by how many of these I had actually already noticed.

Thank you for such a great video, it's truly not just enjoyable, but also educational, it helped me to better understand how some of the professional studios work with mesh, textures, rigging and animations. Thank you for this ❤

As someone who often goes on random excursions across the internet for various trivia, this captivates me. Thank you!

1:20 This is beautiful. Ive been watching this foe the past 5 hrs.

Did I spend 46 minutes watching minor but very, very interesting details and facts about Monster Hunter? Yes. Does it make me appreciate the creature design and behavior even more? Absolutely 👍

12:18 Holy shit, that makes so much sense! Nice work finding that. Creeped me and my little cousin out when we thought Shara was watching the camera. Nice one, Capcom.

I think the "apceros defense triangle as a wall for flinch shots" is the same as throwing a large monster into another large monster, not its own thing

It's probably coincidence from carrying it for too long, but in MHW my Poogie got mad when I carried it to the giant soup in the canteen and ran away

This is why I will forever say MH has _the best_ enemy/boss designs in ALL of gaming❤️‍🔥

The village themes made this video really cozy. Kinda want to go start up the older games now just to listen to them again.

Thank you for spreading awareness on how Shara's eyes actually work! The misconception that his eyes just track the camera needs to stop, it's so much cooler when we know it's cause of the optical illusion

I also like how zinogre horns are shaped like a termite mound or hive

The savage jo punking those legiana at the end was great (on top of that those legiana teaming up reminds me of the intro cutscene for zinogre in iceborne)

THIS WAS GREATTTT THANK YOU FOR ALL THE TRIVIA

You are definitely one of if not the best Monster Hunter content creator. Stay awesome Tea
