One cool tip about tzi tzi ya ku: tzi tzi yaku like to collect shiny shells and bring them to their sleeping place so whenever he feels threatened he would run into his sleeping place and use his flash, his flash will reflect from the shells and flash the whole room, one thing the devs didnt think about was that players would have already broken the photophores so when he runs back to sleep he cant use the shells to his advantage.

"Just like the Tzitzi Ya-Ku, it too has a defensive strategy. *Violence."* I wheezed.

"Now this... this does put a smile on my face." Super happy to see the MHW Ecology series on my feed again, it's beyond amazing!

11:04 “It too has a defensive strategy; Violence.”

The Pink Rathian was my second wall in Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, after Diablos. I always saw her as the scarier of the Rath subspecies and love seeing you highlight that. Speculation on my part, but I imagine the pink color comes from certain genes being activated that are only active in the red male of the 'normal' rath. This leads to increased size and aggression, and a brighter pigmentation that serves as warning coloration. While green Rathians rely on camouflage and the protection of a mate to hide their nests, Pink Rathians are large and intimidating enough to protect a nest on their own. I imagine this is why you don't see them in the same areas as Azure Rathalos, as the Pink Rathians are not keen on sharing territory with a male outside mating season.

i like to think that male namielles are really small, which would reflect that deep sea fish part of namielle. also, namielle's wings remind me of blanket octopuses, which have infamously large size differences between males and females. but due to namielle being an elder dragon, and thus more intelligent, I like to think the relationships between males and females aren't nearly as grotesque as our real world deep sea fish and that there is a strong bond between mated pairs.

Tzi-Tzi was probably my favorite coral highlands monster, i always got some joy whenever it popped up exclusively to flash a flying monster out of the sky

Dude, I started since 4U and I love listening to these ecology vids at work. You’re my hero

“Flashiest adaptation” Uzui Would be proud😆

This is awesome, there was a channel doing the monsters as tho they were real and I loved those but these are much higher quality please keep doing these, if u don't I may have to fill that niche lollll

Glad you’re continuing this series, absolutely love your work.

The Coral Highlands is 100% the most beautifully alien place I've ever seen in a video game. The fact that it's ultimately just a coral reef outside of the water does nothing to change that. Plus, the dynamic it has with the Rotten Vale is incredible - the fact that the Highlands exist not in spite of the Vale, but BECAUSE of it, is a superb example of the circle of nature. When life dies and falls into the Vale, it rots away, and freeing up the nutrients (and bioenergy) that the life above can thrive upon. Small tip - the thin, somewhat donut-shaped corals that you can't lay traps upon (like the one Tzitzi walked across at 07:18) CAN be used as environmental traps. By flinching a monster while it's standing on it, it will drop into the coral and struggle there for about ten or so seconds as if it had fallen into a Pitfall Trap...and it will do quite so a lot. On my first Legiana hunt, the poor sucker fell in about three or four times.

been waiting for this for so long, love these videos, genuinely.

Cannot wait until the Rotten Vale video. This, and the rotten vale are two of the most unique environments I've ever seen in Monster Hunter.

YO!! I was literally thinking earlier today while binging your Monster Hunters stuff that you should do the coral highlands next

25:18 One observation I have made about lightning, is that warmer air is more conductive, as it is less dense. This means that if one can control the temperature of collumns of air during a thunderstorm, you can control where Lightning Strikes. Alternatively, if you can disperse a metallic or conductive powder through the air in a pattern, it may conduct lightning all the way down. I posit that, similar to zinogre, Kirin's fur is home to a mutually beneficial cohabitant, one that is smaller than the eye can see, and immune to electricity entirely. These tiny, particle-like beings(possibly microorganisms) may even use Electrical Discharge as part of their metabolism, and as such be attracted to it. And so they gather around the electrically-charged Kirin and its Thunderhorn, and when enough have built up in the atmosphere, a thunderstorm is created, which passively feeds the airborne being, these beings, and thus the thunderstorms, Follow Kirin around, simply following the electrical charges they need to digest nutrients, or possibly feed off of entirely. And so, when a Kirin is threatened, it discharges electricity from its thunderhorn or the fur on its hide, Attracting the beings, which involuntarily conduct bolts of lightning from the storm they gather. This goes in line with the Thunder Trade-off Hypothesis, as the majority of generation of the charge is done by the tiny beings making friction by seeding clouds, and wjat little electricity the kirin produces is in its horn or its fur. Thus the kirin directs the producer of the lightning by baiting it along with its horn, and its hide may be metallic and hard in order to conduct lightning away from its internal organs and nervous system. This would also explain the odd Glow that hunters have witnessed appear before a kirin's lightning strike, as the charges released by the kirin attract clouds of the tiny organism before enough gather to call a lightning strike. This is, however, just a theory, and will remain that way untill proven. Proof may indeed be impossible to gather; as capturing a kirin is all but impossible, and would require vast barriers and fortifications to be set up rapidly around a live kirin, much more difficult than with, say, a slow, predictable Zorah Magdaros, and may require slowly entrapping an entire region during a thunderstorm; which would be nigh impossible and require far more resources than the guild is likely to set aside just to understand a creature that can be hunted or repelled, and to find proof of a hypothesis that may be entirely incorrect. I am confident, however, that my theory is at least partly true, and if any highly-skilled hunters of High Rank or Master Rank are willing to attempt to capture air samples from the moment before or after a kirin's thunder strikes, You may see my quest on the board alongside any kirin hunting quests that come about in The New World, as I am stationed there with the 4th fleet.

I missed this! Keep it coming, I beg thee! The insights into the monsters help build the universe, and somehow even help me kill them easier!

Can't wait to see the Rotten Vale next.

the coral highlands is so beautiful and magical that it makes you think if ur dreaming or hilosinating cause its just so wierd

I Love The Tzitzi Ya-Ku It's Such A Helpful Monster Like That B52 That Rains Down Pain And Leaves Like A Giga Chad

Probably my favorite area in World, great Vid!

The soft melody and piano keys at @30:39 put a smile on my face. Thank you for this video. You do an awesome job Oceaniz. Seriously, I've binged your channel for months now. Love your content.

In monster hunter rise there is a similar place called the coral palace which is home to narwa and ibushi, but only home to them, meaning if you consider the coral still standing there then the amount of bio energy ibushi and narwa create and hold must be immense to the point where the supposedly underwater fauna growing around their nesting grounds are able to survive on land similar to the coral in the coral highlands

Nobody: Tzitzi Ya-Ku: *[Catches you in 4k and leaves]*

Will you ever talk about small monsters, like herbivores and the endimic life?

I fought the Namiel for the first time, today. I use IG, so the floor is always lava, but today, I realized this was the fight I'd been training for my whole life.

While the Coral highlands monsters don't fall high on my list. I still find them exceptionally beautiful and interesting. Namielle would have to be my favorite in the highlands and i... even to my surprise really like Paulumu. Regular Paulumu even though it think its armor is dumb and weapons are too much hearts. I really like my fluffy bat monster And I love regular Pukei and the Coral Pukei is absolutely gorgeous. Actually like the color scheme more than regular. Though I like regulars point abilities more

Glad to see this back!!!

22:51 Tzitzi Ya-ku just minding his own business, pretends to see nothing lol

A bit late but I'd like to point out that our magnificent friend the Tzitzi actually hoards reflective shells on its nest, making it so that if it's uses it's flash there it bounces off the shells and it's basically causing the flash to trigger twice Wether he does this knowingly or he just likes shiny things I wouldn't really know lol

22:59 Tzitzi Ya-Ku: You two never get along. Imma head out

wow the kirin is basically a electric type rapidash in the monster hunter world

I wish there was a continent like this in earth it's so alive

I am loving this series! Please do Hoarfrost Reach too. Then mh rise too in the future.

This just found its way into my downloads

I stopped playing at Legiana.. never found the time to go back and play. I really want to go back to the game again.

You have a good talent for narrating. :D

just watched this entire series it's so cool!! please make more 🙏🙏

This series is amazing keep up the great work 👍

I stumbled upon your channel by a sheer luck. I never played in any MH game but the monster designs always tempted me to try out MH:World. Due to real life and other stuff I never bought the game and I always found the armor sets in the game to be incredibly ugly. Since next MH was annouced I thought to myself that it's time to buy MH game. And your docu-series is a perfect way to learn something about different monsters/monster types!

I was about to sleep but that can wait. This takes priority

Misty peaks archetype.

Love this!

you know, i'm fairly certain Azure Rathalos could fit very well in the Coral Highlands; so that he can join his pink princess.

Are you saying that Paolumu chose violence? Lol

I find it incredible how these videos have so little views...

Is this a re-upload? I could swear I this was posted before.

My theory is that kirins horns produce electromagnetic waves and have electric organs within, allowing it to spread its lighting and call from the sky. My other theory is that using electric organs in its horns it shoots put electricity onto the ground which, combined with the generally conductive nature of its environments, attracts lightning from the sky. However, I'm not a scientist so my theories could be utter nonsense.

Does anyone know the music used in the kirin section? Please

Thanks.

Shame oroshi wasn’t mentioned In the kirin section

Can you do a video on bio energy? I believe that it is kind of necessary seeing how important it is to the series. Also can you explain some of the monsters universal biology like the various sack organs and other drops?

You should do a vid about the humans in mh

Lets goooooooooo

What is the song for the the beginning of the Kirin part?

27:07 Wtf Golden Namielle

So I'm a bit curious, are you continuing the series on this channel or is it just the reuploads

Anyone know what the music for the Kirin was?

Even a normal Rathian is physically stronger than Rathalos, like birds of prey the female is larger and stronger. The reason why Rathalos is a "tougher monster" is because its skill in aerial combat makes it a more dangerous opponent for both hunters and rival predators.

Ah yes Namielle the lube dragon

How do you actually unlock this area

You frogot about ebony odogaron

Rotten vale???

why elder dragons turn into crystal maybe having minerals have some much into their stomach and with their giantess bodies of elder dragons maybe without elder dragons the oversize volcanic landscape wouldn't exist?

Why call lightning thunder though?

Where’s nemeale the water elder dragon
