The Brute Wyvern - The Monsters of Monster Hunter | Ecology Documentary

Timestamps: 00:00 - Intro 01:21 - Brute Wyvern Overview 03:33 - Glutton Wyvern 06:20 - Hammer Wyvern 11:07 - Plate Wyvern 16:23 - Brute Wyvern without Infraorder 22:27 - Outro Notes: - Glutton Wyvern and Plate Wyvern are existing Infraoders in the canon, but they are unnamed. I added the names myself. - "Battle Wyvern" is simply the german name for Brute Wyvern. - All Species names are made up by me. - Kestodon & Gastodon are often classified as Herbivores as opposed to Brute Wyvern. However, in the official phylogeny, they are marked as extremely close relatives of the Banbaro. So either they are an extreme exception were they are basically direct cousins of a Brute Wyvern without being Brute Wyverns themselves, or they are Brute Wyverns and the games simply classify them as Herbivores for gameplay purposes. As far as this video is concerned, the latter is assumed to be the case.

We need more crabs so one day you can make a video like this for the absolute peak evolutionary form.

That bit about Radobaan eggs was very interesting! Also it's a bit of a shame that Banbaro and Fulgur Anjanath made the Jade Barroth even less relevant

I honestly wish that there were more people like you in the MH community. Because I love talking to my friends about the ecology and biology of monsters, but they don't really seem to care all that much. Instead of seeing them as actual functioning animals, they just view them as typical game bosses.

Elder dragons are going to be a pain to do this type of video.

I absolutely enjoyed this one. Anjanath is my favorite brute wyvern just because of its whacky features.

Man, it never not crack me up knowing Duramboros, for all intents and purposes, is a theropod dinosaur. Monster Hunter is one series that just captures the madness that is phylogeny so perfectly.

Can’t wait for piscine wyverns. “So this one is just a walking fish, this one is also just a walking fish, and this one is a walking fish that swims through lava! That’s it though besides the lava part it’s just a fish

I just had a thought the other day. In-canon I think the Erude Region (the one with most of the volcano locales in it) should be a haven and breeding ground for criminals and other unsavoury types and be the area for the whole criminal underworld in the Monster Hunter universe (including illegal monster fighting rings). It would make sense since hardly anyone lives there and it would be a very difficult region for The Guild to poliice due to the geography of the area. Its just like the Southern Earth Kingdom in Avatar The Last Airbender which was also a criminal haven due to the geography of the Southern Earth Kingdom reigon. I thought about this after your Monster Hunter Film Adaptation video. It would be better for that than the Island District.

Rip jade Barroth

I always adore the documentary style you use to present these creatures., Only thing my brain isn't dropping for me is the typo of "Superfamily" as "Superamily".

Very interesting video. I would have thought that Anjanath would have been in the same category as Deviljho, Glanenus with Duramboros because of the tail, Barroth with Banbaro because of the horn, and Barchydios being the only outlier. I know the Glavenus and Barroth wouldn't fit well but Anjanath certainly does with Deviljho. I do hope to see some more Brutes in the future they have a really interesting design.

If had to take a guess and what those Unclassified brutes belong to I'd say that glavenus and Anjanath are in the same superfamily as deviljho which I would call Tyrant brutes with 2 sub familys which I would classify as the barbed tail brutes with has deviljho and Anjanath and the sword tails which would include glavenus As for barroth and brachydios I'd say they both belong in the same family as both have larger arms then other brute wyverns and I'd call this family the Strongarm brutes

Wow, I never knew Gastodon and Kestodon were actually small Brute Wyverns. This video is amazing!

I’d imagine that ancient hammer wyvern nests would be a great source of fossils of hatchlings that couldn’t dig out of the tar. Maybe even contributing to how well known they are

The mention of migratory Anjanath females made me remember how mildly annoyed I am that we like, almost never get female variants of canonically male-only monsters. Just smaller, faster variants with less extra spikes and such that blend into the environment better. I could see them, as like, a rule, having far faster attacks, and maybe even let some have tools shared with the males be adapted for interspecific defense instead of intraspecific combat, and thus receiving more brutal movesets. Like say, Mizutzune just straight up shooting acid at you instead of doing the whole soapbubble thing, for an extreme yet simple example.

"The Barroth can stay cool without much effort." Chads.

Sad to see no mention of Steel Uragan and Jade(?) Barroth (the ice one)

One cool detail about Duramboros is that its horns are developed to be extremely heavy so that it can swing its tail without being thrown off balance. Breaking the horns will often cause Duramboros to stumble around after tail swings.

this is soooooo good i just cant with the style of these vids keep up the good work
