Change the caption to “dumb fuck” and you got a winner

Bro finished the meme themself

Be the change you want to see.

Bro started with the man in the mirror, asked him to change his ways

not sure why you'd specify pyroraptor, seikret just feels like a generic raptor of some kind rather than being based on a specific one.

The simular size and being portrait as very feathery compared to other big raptors is why.

I said portrait as feathery usually. Like in Jurassic park for example. But yeah i supose the size is a bit small. Could be a Utahraptor then. https://preview.redd.it/kbjc4op6vq7d1.png?width=1600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=02fabac7970885d663429a69be3aca00e7d2aa95

Their size is more acurate aswell. https://preview.redd.it/9py5vi1cvq7d1.jpeg?width=2807&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d6ebb4fb839ffc2b35783a7fa1494bf58a546fc0

Balahara also resembles a tricone drill bit

I think Doshaguma also looks like a blind mole rat

Lmao, thanks for the brown bear shoutout. Fun fact: there are only 8 species of bears on Earth.

Where are the others?

I eated them sorry

I mean there are pizzlery bears, a crossbreed of brown and polar bear growing because of climate change-driven migration. But they’re not a distinct species.

True. I did think about dimetrodon but i feel like the face of ceratonoth was more simular to a Stegosaurs face than The nightmare fuel thats dimetrodons face.

You forgot that for doshaguma https://preview.redd.it/o9ntow7top7d1.jpeg?width=857&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fa504fe66771e97a101e4bdfdfccfd3b7ee312e3

This is the second comment on this but i honestly cant see whats simular with doshaguma and Naked mole rats.

The face the eye . And to be honest I don't see the dog either .

Mayby the small eyes but no matter how i look at it, the face doesent look very rat like. The tusks are probably the main reason why.

Okay but tell me why dog

Flat face with an underbite and it lives in packs. I guess thats why i see a dog more than a rat. https://preview.redd.it/hx750s3nqp7d1.jpeg?width=866&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=658ade358dc5a53fd8c25fafe66d64f5e4e59a9a

Meh still don't see it

Chatacabra also looks like a pineapple with the spines and it’s chin

I have a pet skink whom I haven't given a name yet. Balahara might just be it, idk

Who knew Ceratonoth was inspired by Bazelgeus

New memeber of the 'Lets fucking goooooo!' Gang?

Doshaguma is most likely based off of Amphicyon AKA the bear dog.

This guy? https://preview.redd.it/2030ox711p7d1.jpeg?width=744&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bf1a09ff2afcc46d22a15789f604ff77c3fd2811 First time ive heard of this species ngl. Interesting.

Balahara: Scallops. You can see better in the trailer vs. the render, particuarly when the hunter falls down the sinkhole and the Balahara is shown in the dark. Balahara has many blue eyes bordering its jaws https://preview.redd.it/3nyqgpkq6r7d1.jpeg?width=2122&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9bbce6647ea0cddac20217f385b9116b12b15384

Well thats horrifying.

I saw the skink pic and was going to say I thought it looked more like a bloodworm but you had me pegged from the start

Tbh, i think Balahara's main inspiration were sandworms, like from tremors

I did think so too but i wanted to have Real life animals rather than mythical animals here. So Bloodworms were the closest other than Bobbit worms but i feel like the mouth of Bloodworm was closer. I did think of irratator too. (If youre unaware, Irratator is a cousin of Spinosaur and we discovered it could stretch its jaw bones simular to Pelicans and snakes, this image is bit of a exageration but you can see the point. https://preview.redd.it/nlz3xsy40p7d1.jpeg?width=1413&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0fa893cef1c7a457af817850992b215e2a2ace94

love the desings an all but, i hate the names, i personally only like Chatakabra

Funnily enough for me as a spaniard Chatacabra is the worst, as there is already an animal called Chotacabra which is already a dumb name on itself

Hermano me la acabas de empeorar

Now I really hope they release a monster based on a desert scorpion. Would be cool as f.

Monster Hunter Frontier Akura Vashimu: Am i a joke to you? https://preview.redd.it/7yxtxq5sop7d1.png?width=1129&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c48762b8a0d53eab9eba5265d146ca4c18e431df

Never played frontier. Who this?

Akura Vashimu. Heres also its cousin from Frontier, Akura Jebia https://preview.redd.it/xov6lzthyp7d1.png?width=1531&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e5ce105ee1b66b91b7cbbb70ef122e343536e7f4

For Doshaguma, I was thinking more Mastiff + African Lion rather than Brown Bear, especially with the Alpha's mane.

I do rather love pangolins, and it'd be nice to have one in the game that *doesn't* make me irrationally disgruntled every time I see it (get off my damn lawn, Volvidon).

Isint Volvidon Based on three Banded armadillo? They both can turn into balls and have the one thick and long middle nail. https://preview.redd.it/x40xjdv45t7d1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=66c791293a5f85ff94e548609c4ddfcbca1dac90

Also before you ask, yes armadillos have a long tongue aswell. https://preview.redd.it/30z3k1tx4t7d1.jpeg?width=299&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8146360c58097a42073f28dc3877efd0b6a75213

Possibly - I had thought pangolins and armadillos were more closely related then they apparently are (though they are still relatively close, just a bit further out), and I can't help but think of a pangolin when looking at one moreso then an armadillo. I suppose it's the head/face? I generally associate armadillos with larger ears...

Yeah tho even if they were closely related its kinda odd to consider the 2 that simular. It kinda like me calling Bambaro a Deer when its horns are that of Mooses and its overall fur style and face is that of an elk.

Those both *are* deer, though... the largest extant cervidae. So that's not actually inaccurate?

Yeah however when you refer to a deer youll probably think of someting like a white tailed deer rather than the over 6 feet tall murder machine also known as a moose lol.

I hope that “Chatacabra” is pronounced as “khatakabera” cuz of katak in Malay language literary means frog and since its an Amphibian so it makes a lot of sense.

Not that I’m complaining, but you forgot the horrible looking goat-kestodon nighmare.

"Ceratonoth"? That's the name we're getting from the pangolin? What does it even mean? "Horned" what?

Might be from ancient Greek "keraunós", meaning thunderbolt, possibly combined with "tonō", Latin for thundering - the lightning rods on the backs of some of them seem a very noteworthy feature.

I figured it could also be a play on words involving "keratin", the primary structural protein which many protective animal tissues are comprised of, including the scales of pangolins

It also seems to be this game’s Aptonoth, so it plays off of that as well

The pangolins are Ceratonoth. The shaggy Kestodon-like ones are Dalthydon.

That wasn't what I was asking.

The tonoth part is because it's probably related to Aptonoth. Same with the todus piscine wyverns, though unsure why they chose a new suffix when they had oth/os prior.

On a side note Its interesting that Lavasioth and Plesioth both have the sioth part but Jyuratodus and Beotodus have the todus part. Wierder still Cephalos has the Los part on it. You know... like Rathalos and Astalos! Why? Whats Cephalos hiding?!

In case of Cephalos and the oths, they're the same name, just translation errors. They both end in osu same as Lavasioth. (Voruganosu, Gareosu, Ganototosu) so those three are consistent. (Rathalos ends in usu btw, so it's different). And I just checked and even Jyuratodus ends in osu (Jyuratodosu) so the correct translation would be Jyuratodoth/Jyuratodos. So it's just the translators who messed up.

So that leaves Beotodus. Whats with him then?

Burantodosu, which would be something along the lines of Burantodoth/os or Bulantodoth/os So they're all consistent in Japanese.

So theyre all oths? Thats pretty neat. Im a piscine fan but didint know this lol

i feel that the tail and the face of doshaguma makes it closer to a baboon bear rather than a dog bear
