You can find my semi-canon phylogeny (which all of these videos are based on) here: tinyurl.com/OceanPhylo - The regional variations of Nargacuga aren't pointed out directly in any of the books, so while the differences between them do exist, the logic and justifications around them are mostly assumptions on my part. - The color variations of the Fonron Nargacuga are only ever mentioned in Artbooks: To my knowledge, they are not present in any game. - At 8:13 I call Nargacugas tail "prehensile". That is incorrect, since prehensile tails are tails that can grab objects, which the Nargacuga cannot. This is a mistake on my part, I adlibbed this word in while recording for some reason. This will be fixed in the compilation release. - The Next Episode Preview is wrong: Next Episode is #12, not #11.

*WE ARE SO FUCKING BACK.*

Oceaniz being the David Attenborough of Monster Hunter again

Really hyped for the second season. This series is so good. Also, the illustration of the tailspike for the green nargacuga looks pretty spikey to me while the text says they are blunt. I would imagine them to be more mace-like. IntroFrog/10

I'm guessing the spikey appearance is just the filaments bunching up to maximize impacts. Do kinda wish we got to see a Lucent's tailspike, which I assume would either look somewhat needle-like, or have grooves that the venom travels through via capillary action. But Lucent Nargacuga is a rare species, so be the odd wyvern out in this regard fits just fine. The wait has been well worth it.

I didn't want spoilers going into Monster Hunter world so when I play the game and encounter a new monster I come straight here to learn about it after the fight And now I can't resist spoiling things for myself cause of how good the videos are

In absolute shock and awe. The amount of happy juice released in my brain when I see posts from Oceaniz is gnarly

The tail can stretch with centrifugal force? Can you imagine how satisfying the cracks and pops must be!

The king RETURNS! Very happy to see the series going 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

Season 2 has begun, I’ve been beyond excited, and starting with my favorite Gen 2 monster as well. This is gonna be dope.

I'm so glad this did well enough for you to continue We are so back

He's just the best monster of gen 2 for me. It's insane how amazing Nargacuga's design is despite being made so quickly. No wonder why he's 7th on the popularity poll because this boy is Lucky!

This is such an interesting series, I’ve never really been so enraptured by something other than elder scrolls lore.Amazing job sir Oceaniz!!!!!

Had to come see right away because Narga is flagship of MHFU! Great episode as always, Oceaniz ! Such high quality content! And I'm pretty excited for the next once since Hypnocatrice appeared in MHFU as well!! Keep up the great work, fren!!

Great job brother! Hope to see my boy Tigrex in the future but i also be grateful for the other creatures coming our way. Any ways keep the great job and have a good day my friend!

I appreciate you making these! This adds the depth I crave to a world I love visiting via games.

another banger as always!!! you're a legend in the community

Lets goooo! This made my day. I love this series

I love how you explain gameplay redesigns as different subvariations of the same Nargacuga, its very fun

Thank you for this content. It's been the perfect background noise to get me through the Anomaly Investigations grind, and your thoughtful writing and perfect blending of canon material and fanon additions makes it ENDLESSLY enjoyable. Keep it up!

I’ve waited months for you to come back! Let’s go!

Return of the King! Very happy to have the series keep going!

This series is SO good! Thanks For this 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Ayyy my boy is back!! I got so hype for more monster hunter ecology!

That was a gnarlycougar vid, oceaniz

THE MAN RETURNS WITH A BANGER!

Can’t believe i got here 5 minutes after release! Great to have u giving us animal planet on steroids again man and im so excited for ur future work too so keep it up 🥳😁

I get worried when I don’t hear OAKWOODTREE in the first half of the list, Thank heavens he’s oak Kay , you’re my boy OAKWOODTREE

Awesome! So glad you're back, and to start off with the elusive Nargacuga is a G-Rank choice! I've always considered this species to be the ninjas of Monster Hunter. Blending into the dark, striking when you least expect it, using the tools it has to attack with swift and deadly accuracy...the tail blades may as well be kunai with varying effects. Green Nargacuga essentially went from black to jungle camo...with a stronger and flexible tail to boot. The Lucent Nargacuga disappearing in the moonlight may as well be natural ninjutsu. Silverwind is a fitting name for the deviant....as it refers to both its beautiful silver fur and the winds its tail creates to slice the enemy in two. It's one of my all-time favorites for a reason....and it's grade: SA for inspiration.

Yooooo! Let's goooooo!!!! Starting off strong with my favorite monster ever!

Yay!! I finally get to see my favorite monster covered!!!

AND WE'RE IN THERE! What a start!

Les goooo! Another banger incoming. I would kill if Tigrex got a video of his own.

This is so good!

I just started watching monster hunter ecology two days ago I’ve seen all the episodes and I’m hooked

Oh my goodness i love this video

NOT EVEN HOME BUT OPENED AND LIKED THE VIDEO WE ARE SO BACK

Couldn't stop thinking of Regina Phalange, gotta watch it once more

Thank you mate

WE ARE SO BACK ,LETS GOOO

We’re so back baby

Huh, never heard about echolocation of Narga... Hmm, so, now i know, how to terrorise my friends while playing dnd, if the event will occur.

Definitely missed this, what strong start to Season 2.

Im more invested into these ecology videos than i am my college classes😭

hell yeah baby, new addition to the sleep playlist

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOO HE'S BACK MY GUY IS BAAAAAAAAAAAAACK WELCOME BACK BRO WE MISSED U

Finally some good MH content again!

YES! Favorite monster let's go!

When the world needed him most, he returned!

Monster hunter will always be a gem of a series

Its back!!!

I was pretty whatever about Nargacuga, but this video increase my opinion of them Nargacugas are pretty cool

Ohohoho we're off to a STRONG start! Panther Ninja is just so cool isn't it?

*Sees a monster that's slightly different form normal* Researchers in the MH universe: Yup, that's a subspecies alright

One of my favorite monsters

This is one of my favorite monsters

Nargacuga is tied for my #1 fav monster in the series along with Zinogre. I just can't decide between the two cos I adore both

So are we just not gonna address that Nargy apparently has echolocation? I've never heard of this detail at all before. It's not even on the wiki page, it's so obscure. Where did this tidbit of info even come from? 'Cause that's a really freakin' cool detail.

Yeah, I didn't know about it until I started research for this video either! As far as I'm aware, it is mentioned a single time, in Hunter's Encyclopedia G pg. 131 (that's also where the drawing of the echolocation process is from)

I still think frontier narga is a lucent who doesn't go invisible due to the lack of moonlight and fog. It still has the poison, but alters it's fighting style because it knows it's visible.

IT'S BAAAAAACK

My best buddy, Nargacuga, let's go!

Finally my favorite monster !!

At last its finally here :D

Good god this was a pleasent surprise! SEASON 2 IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

30 minute drive to work = 30 minutes of monster ecology

Didn’t expect to see peak dropped

There are also blinking and fiercewater nargacuga.

Season 2 let's go!!

Ep 1 of season 2 yes!!!!

NARGACUGA MY THIRD FAVORITE MONSTER IS THE FIRST OF SEASON 2 OF MH ECOLOGY WOOOOOOOOOOOOO

A collab with Curious Archive would be nice😊

Do you think you'll ever do an episode on the small monster/endemic life? as cool and awesome the marge monsters are, its the smaller creatures that really sell me on the world building.

Season 2 hype train go

Best monster here we go

second season let gooo

WE NARCING THE COUGAR WITH THIS ONE 🗣🗣🔥🔥

Season 2 lets gooooooooooo

Mmm Needle panther. My first and (so far) only tattoo. Love everything about narga (except green)

*YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!*

Wyckedly awesome monster

My FAVORITE MONSTER IN THE VERSE!!!⚫️🐈‍⬛️

I actually have a theory about footed Wyvern, they are actually the mid evolution between flying Wyvern and Fanged Wyvern. Or more likely are more closely related to fanged wyvern. Footed Wyvern have wings like flying Wyvern, but they walk on all fours like Fanged wyverns. Plus some flying Wyvern are actually more similar to fanged wyverns, having no wings, robust physical builds, and have remarkable physical strength.

Not sure if all fanged wyverns but I could see it being the case for magnamalo at least

I like Nargacuga but it isn't one of my favorite monsters, yet I can see why it's so popular.

Lets FFFFUCKIN GOOOOO

Moarrrrr 🙏

FUCK YEAH

Question, is Vespoid Queen going to be getting a video this season?

🎉🎉🎉

Why are the Blinking Nargacuga & Fiercewater Nargacuga not mentioned?? Are Extreme Individuals and Special Species not included? Just asking😅

I love Nyagacuga

not saying you have to, but i feel like it would be cool if you did ecology of Helldivers planets, just a request, not requirement

Do one for zinogre next

GNARLYCUGA LETSSSS GOOOOO
