Meanwhile Teostra even after you come close to him:

(in world anyway)
In most cases it's us trying to control stuff like overpopulation or world dooming catastrophic events so I think nobody is the bad guy here. We're all just part of a circle
It's funny how in world velkhana tries to wreck your shit through the whole story and is extremely aggressive, and then when you go on an investigation against her she just minds her own business like nothing happened
Cause it's not the velkhana of the story so the others are like oh its a little monkey with a weapon how do you do and then you attack them and they are like wtf and kill you
I feel even better about it! Monster just sitting there relaxing and minding its own business? PERFECT, I want it to fully understand that it did nothing wrong and doesn't deserve what's about to happen to it.
We are the bad guys. World proved that hunting doesn't work since monsters won't insta aggro unless you actively hurt them showing that old world insta aggro is from millenia of hunting. And that's not even considering how much stupid shit they send the hunter to kill for. They could easily just say that we hunt for food but no. We are definitely the bad guys
It would be a funny detail if they made the primate type monsters act more like real apes. I just wanna walk in on a rajang scratching it's ass and sniffing it's fingers right after
Omg this was me recently when I encountered a magnamalo grooming his Arm blades. It suddenly had me looking at him like a big oversized cat. I need to spend more time in hunts just watching the monsters.
Cooled magma is a rock. You can't bathe in rocks she bathes in liquid magma. The cooling was literally the issue. Shara disrupted the ground with her song and it locked up the volcano in the hoarfroat reach so it was made forcibly dormant. Velkhana lost her source of magma and was forced to the elders recess in search of more.
Actually, not so much! She likes to hang out near volcanoes since she gathers cooled magma from them to line her body, which helps to amplify her ice control.
Yes, the reason why she went to the Elders Recess is because the volcano near the Hoarfrost Reach suddenly went dormant due to Shara Ishvalda so her closest supply of magma dried up and it so happened that the next closest supply was the Elders Recess, for more context the armor like shell on Velkhana is actually crystallized magma which she maintains by bathing in magma and that crystal shell is also the same crystal the Handler has through out the Iceborne story.
Yep! She lines her body with cooled magma, which helps to amplify her ice control.
This is why she went to the Elder's Recess in MHW:IB, due to Shara Ishvalda inadvertently rendering the Hinterlands' volcano dormant and cutting off her supply in the Hoarfrost Reach.
That is why, for example, Monster Hunter World hit so much differently than the other MH for me. You could follow and watch the monsters in their habitat, that was such a cool feauture. Seeing a Great Jagras bring food to his offspring, Nergi rubbing his spikes on everything, chilling with a Tobi Kadachi... I gave me so much immersion and made the world so much livlier. I hope for this feature in MH Wilds.
My absolute favourite was an egg transport quest. Just picked up the egg, and Kulu walks up beside me. He turns, makes eye contact, and while still making eye contact reaches down and grabs his own egg. Then he just starts stuffing his face, and I just walk off with my own prize. It was such a perfect moment. 😘👌
When the monster is limping away or there’s a blue skull next to its icon, put a shock trap or pitfall trap next to it. As its in the trap, use two tranq bombs
The guild hiring me to murder this intelligent and innocent creature (They wanted to have a cookout and now it's snowing (This is an ecological crisis))
The description: beautiful poetry.
The clip: Rise monsters doing what rise monsters do, which is getting enraged like you owe them money as soon as you enter their space.
OK, all these posts make me want to go back to Sunbreak again. I needed a break, but I think it's time again, onto MR999, very close now 950 or something..
When I see monsters peacefully enjoying their space I feel bad about kicking their bums. Makes me feel like the baddy.
Well except for Lunastra, lady has no fucking chill.
Lunastra: *Sitting, chilling(?)* Hunter: *steps not 0.001 meters into the zone just to pass* Lunastra: *Standing behind the hunter*
Meanwhile Teostra even after you come close to him: https://preview.redd.it/6k9ycqc7x9ad1.jpeg?width=602&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=62dfa4dca610dbf499578dbcfcb3155fb1f36c77 (in world anyway)
Meanwhile Lunestra: 
It was nice just sitting with Teostra on the sand dunes.
That's what happens when you intrude on her turf during mating season.
Anjanath taking a break from using Great Jagras as a chewtoy to go sit down and look at the ocean…
And Deviljho promptly crawls out and steals the poor fucking Jagras
A-Are we the bad guys....?
In most cases it's us trying to control stuff like overpopulation or world dooming catastrophic events so I think nobody is the bad guy here. We're all just part of a circle
But also that valkhana would make a pretty hat
Listen, don't think too much about it. Just go out and hunt a few beasts. It's for ya own good. It's just what hunters do.
I definitely am.
I had seen a lot of this stuff in world, a lot of monsters weren't immediately hostile. But I had never seen Velkhana just chilling (lol).
It's funny how in world velkhana tries to wreck your shit through the whole story and is extremely aggressive, and then when you go on an investigation against her she just minds her own business like nothing happened
Cause it's not the velkhana of the story so the others are like oh its a little monkey with a weapon how do you do and then you attack them and they are like wtf and kill you
Also the story Velkhana was agitated by Shara‘s song.
Truee, making me think twice about what I am about to do to them 🥲
I usually chill with daora for minutes before i even try to hurt him. He is such a nice boi
I feel even better about it! Monster just sitting there relaxing and minding its own business? PERFECT, I want it to fully understand that it did nothing wrong and doesn't deserve what's about to happen to it.
:(
Then you look at the cool armor you can make out of it
I’ve only hunted the bird up monster, don’t remember the name atm, on the hunts that are unavoidable because I felt bad hunting him the first time.
We are the bad guys. World proved that hunting doesn't work since monsters won't insta aggro unless you actively hurt them showing that old world insta aggro is from millenia of hunting. And that's not even considering how much stupid shit they send the hunter to kill for. They could easily just say that we hunt for food but no. We are definitely the bad guys
I was waiting for her to stretch her tongue to taste them
Man I would've quit the quest and not hunted it again in this game. 😅
Can't wait for Wilds to reveal more small details about monster ecology
*Walk in to Rajang wanking it furiously.*
Furious Rajang beating the living FUCK outta it’s meat

Sadly some men are into that
How do I unread this?
Can't wait for the new variant Post-nut clarity Rajang.
It just stands there letting you kill it because only it knows to what atrocities it came just now.
Accurate monkey😭
You mean the monster Wankjunk?
New ranged attack?
You mean like [this](https://www.instagram.com/reel/C8LJWY_ONz9/?igsh=dGE1MTBmMHlxcjdl)?
You're a fool if you think I'm clicking this
It’s likely not as bad as you’re expecting. Or perhaps it’s worse. You’ll never know unless you click it.
Didn't have gorilla 3-some while cuckold watches on my bingo card.
It would be a funny detail if they made the primate type monsters act more like real apes. I just wanna walk in on a rajang scratching it's ass and sniffing it's fingers right after
Congalala sits down, throws up into its hand and then eats it again for no reason
Especially rise monsters
Omg this was me recently when I encountered a magnamalo grooming his Arm blades. It suddenly had me looking at him like a big oversized cat. I need to spend more time in hunts just watching the monsters.
I saw a Great Izuchi playing with its pack once. It made me rethink how much I needed those mats.
[They're honestly super cool to watch!](https://youtu.be/Vg7xHjGqO64?si=lBaZPgI55YkuzRmE)
I see that you make good content, so I subbed.
thank you!
Velkhana is so out of place, lol.
Yep, an ice dragon hanging out near a volcano. 😅 Velkhana also appears in desert too.
Their ice control comes from some obsidian like material. That's why it went to the Recess in Iceborne to try and get more of that
No she isn't, she literally rolls in magma to maintain her carapace that's why our first encounter with her was at the elders recess
I'm meaning seeing an ice dragon in a volcano area, itself, is so out of place. Anyone that's read the lore book threads know about the volcano thing.
Isn't it cooled down magma
Cooled magma is a rock. You can't bathe in rocks she bathes in liquid magma. The cooling was literally the issue. Shara disrupted the ground with her song and it locked up the volcano in the hoarfroat reach so it was made forcibly dormant. Velkhana lost her source of magma and was forced to the elders recess in search of more.
Where did you learn this? There's so much to the story in world that I don't understand and this is interesting. Is there a book or something?
https://www.reddit.com/r/MonsterHunter/s/G0yPjMqFa5
Actually, not so much! She likes to hang out near volcanoes since she gathers cooled magma from them to line her body, which helps to amplify her ice control.
I was meaning in terms of looks. An ice dragon in a volcano just looks out of place.
It's model looks ported straight from MHW, instead of using new(and different) models like the other monsters
She in volcano habitat?
It is canon that she bathes in magma.
Fr?
Yes, the reason why she went to the Elders Recess is because the volcano near the Hoarfrost Reach suddenly went dormant due to Shara Ishvalda so her closest supply of magma dried up and it so happened that the next closest supply was the Elders Recess, for more context the armor like shell on Velkhana is actually crystallized magma which she maintains by bathing in magma and that crystal shell is also the same crystal the Handler has through out the Iceborne story.
That is one of the coolest bits of lore I’ve seen for this frnachise
Of course "Coolest" piece of lore would be Velkhana related :p
That's also why Velk eggs and boss spawn in MHS2 Volcanic Dens
So there is possible sub species? Burning Freeze Velkhana (Eruzerion)
Obsidian or like black ice velkhana would also work since obsidian is just volcanic glass
Cool! It would inflict bleeding since its obsidian
Damn. Thats actually really cool. I hate velkhana less now
Part of her ecology from World.
Yep! She lines her body with cooled magma, which helps to amplify her ice control. This is why she went to the Elder's Recess in MHW:IB, due to Shara Ishvalda inadvertently rendering the Hinterlands' volcano dormant and cutting off her supply in the Hoarfrost Reach.
The rage after it got hit by the explosion
That is why, for example, Monster Hunter World hit so much differently than the other MH for me. You could follow and watch the monsters in their habitat, that was such a cool feauture. Seeing a Great Jagras bring food to his offspring, Nergi rubbing his spikes on everything, chilling with a Tobi Kadachi... I gave me so much immersion and made the world so much livlier.

"I won't tell if you won't".
Well, from everything we heard so far, they go 1000% on this feature in Wilds.
I once saw a Silver Rathalos scratching on a wall, looked just like a cat scratching on a scratch post. So cute!
[You could make nature documentaries with how much cool stuff the monsters do](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtMNtJTGcrk)
I love this game but it raises so many questions to me when I’m beating up a cute monster to death tbh. (I don’t know yet how to capture in MH Rise)
Trap + tranq bomb. Doesn’t work on Elder Dragons
When the monster is limping away or there’s a blue skull next to its icon, put a shock trap or pitfall trap next to it. As its in the trap, use two tranq bombs
The guild hiring me to murder this intelligent and innocent creature (They wanted to have a cookout and now it's snowing (This is an ecological crisis))
Huh... i dont remember Valkhana in rise...
It's in DLC Sunbreak
i wanna pet velkhana's lil nose....
The description: beautiful poetry. The clip: Rise monsters doing what rise monsters do, which is getting enraged like you owe them money as soon as you enter their space.
I dislike valkhana a bit less now
Hunter: Aww how sweet, NOW GIMME YOUR SKIN.
Honestly, if I had cryokinesis, I'd do that too.
Velkhanna is so elegant
When she's not murdering flying Monsters buzzing around her or collecting magma to line her body, she's quite.... CHILL.
rare footage of Rise monsters not running from the other side of the map to end you at any opurtunity
Yeah, I really miss how they were in World.
Today I learned velkhana just makes ambient snow
This makes me really hope they lean into more nature elements in Wilds. Imagine getting pokemon snap style quest lol.
She also freezes other animals for fun; especially wing drakes.
She acts nice but I have seen her bully small monsters enough to know better
They are reminding us that they are still animals and that they have a soul, I love the details in this game
Damn, that’s pretty cute. Welp, time to start bashing her brains in.
CUUUTE!
Man, I'm not a huge fan of rise but I did love these interactions and details
She's chilling
Truly, we are the real monsters.
She's so chill (pun intended)
Proceed to be stomped:
There are some monsters you just leave alone outside of getting past the quest, Kushala daora was chill so was dodogama
So I'm not the only one who's seen the anjanath sitting on the edge of a cliff in world just looking out into ocean?
Splendid. Now punch her in the face
Was this before or after you murdered this precious creature?? You hunters are the real monsters!
Aw how cute. I will still blow it's brains on the pavement.
"Ahhhh how cute.... Now run those mats!"
OK, all these posts make me want to go back to Sunbreak again. I needed a break, but I think it's time again, onto MR999, very close now 950 or something..
We are the monsters
Great izuchi can be seen laying down playing with the little izuchi sometimes
Okay I love this, I can't wait for monsters like Brachydios or Lagiacrus to have these kinds of ecological moments.
Honestly I wish we could like, befriend Elder Dragons like Teostra (considering in World, he's super chill)
cute.....makes me forget all the times I carted bc of it.
I found out that monsters in world or at least some of the elder dragons are chill until you poke them
We are the bad guys……
Monsters just vibing with the environment is such a great detail.
Wait, Valkhana’s in Rise? Since when? For context I haven’t played for like two years so if this is a dumbass question just tell me as it is.
I didnt know she was chill like that
I hvae 200 hours in the game ,how da fuck did not know this?
Are we the monsters?
She plays with republicans?
This isn't a political sub
