Not that I oppose the general consensus, but I do think that statement realistically refers to the species' evolved ecological niche as seeking out and predating on bioenergy-dense monsters, not nature intentionally creating it or motivation on the monster's part.
Damn, I don't even want to dip my toes into there. I'm not too much for character versus character debating, I just like keeping records of peeps.
Well, if we take into account that after Shara's defeat, the Ruiner Nergigante, even weakened from the recent fight, kills the undefeated monster and leaves, maybe it can be evidence for its reactive evolution.
Technically they're growing weapons in response to tougher opponents so it could fall into evo as well, but it is primarily battle accelerated development
Just do what you enjoy and that'll be enough, both Monster Hunter and Vs debating are both hobbies that can be fun but can easily burn you out if you put too much time and energy into them (speaking from past experiences).
I'm going to fight them now using my faithful hammer to bonk them into submission. The new endgame loop is fascinating at the very least.
Figure I may as well do this
I knew those ******* were gonna be Elder Dragon Tier. This helps Molten Tigrex as well since it's portrayed as on par with those two since it's fought in the same rank and in the same location.
Damn Oltura is really that ridiculous huh? Might going to try him against some of Blazblue chars
please no, Oltura gets shitstomped hard
Something I missed, actually
Powercreep for an MMO. Basically endgame versions of standard monsters or even already existing endgame monsters like they gave one to White Fatalis and it now has an attack where if it hits you, you lose. No carting, no chances, you're just dead.
I think I saw a video of that
Not the only time something like this happens, Zenith Khezu just straight up vores the Hunter (which ya somehow just walk off and come back at camp)
Honestly, even using Dalamadur is shaky too - we don't know how long Xeno'jiiva has been germinating, we don't know when the Dalamadurs died, we don't know how its absorption powers work, we don't know whether it directly transfers energy sucked into AP, and we don't know whether those Dalamadurs' bioenergy powered the continent, Xeno'jiiva, or just Coral Highlands. It's shrouded in mystery. That said, I don't really believe that Xeno was so smart as to believe it could survive Zorah's explosion (or even know that it would explode at all), so it could just be downgraded to High 6-C.
Wasn't Zorah's bioenergy going to nuke the New World tho? Shouldn't that mean that still mean that related to AP since it was going to do that.
Not necessarily. The efficiency of consumption does not translate 1:1 with, like, any kind of energy. Exploding on death is kind of a property of Zorah specifically, too, not necessarily a statement on the setting's assumptions about AP and life force or what not.
A housecat also can't put an entire human in their stomach to begin with, and the digestion process itself has a lot of inefficiencies that just absorbing it would not possess.
I guess this is fair, I might have just forgotten some of the details and figured Zorah was attempting to spite Xeno'Jiiva instead of being lured to them (and Xeno just making a mistake because Zorah would have just melted everything in the process)
We don't know whether it absorbed 99% of the continent's natural energy or 0.000001% since a pre-Xeno'jiiva New World is not depicted, or how much energy exists in the Everstream versus the lands above, the time scale Xeno'jiiva actually began to suck stuff (i.e. when it was laid), and so on and so forth. It's full of vagueness.
It would probably be fine to note it but it should probably be noted that the monster isn't bothered by those self inflicted wounds. Wouldn't make much sense for it to inflict serious damage onto itself would it.
Given that there are monsters like Gasurabazura kills itself if it stays angry too long it wouldn't be surprising to me if Morudomunto knows it's actually hurting itself and just doesn't care lmao
My personal theory about it is that Xeno'jiivas are born from a large quantity of energy. This would explain how World's Xeno came to be due to the Elders Crossing releasing massive amounts of energy along with hoe there was another Xeno that grew up to become Safi due to it being near the Guiding Lands which is noted to brim with bioenergy (likely reason as to why is due to the dead Zorah you can find there).
