Some slight misinformation in the video. Frostfang Barioth comes about when a Barioth has to adapt to a much harsher and colder environment where it needs to immobilize prey quickly, hence it evolving more powerful frost breath and furrier front limbs and head to protect itself. Furious Rajang comes about when a Rajang becomes too powerful for its body to contain its overwhelming power anymore, preventing it from powering down, so the tail becomes functionally useless at inhibiting its energy anymore and either falls off on its own or is manually ripped off.

One description I’ve heard of the difference between Variants vs Deviants is how consistent it can be replicated. If you tried to recreate bloodbath diablos, almost every single time it will simply die in the wild, meanwhile with Raging Brachydios it simply needs to find the special stronger slime that gives it immortality, something reasonably recreatable in nature

So from what I've gathered, the easiest most general description for Variants and Subspecies is: Variant: a rare/circumstantial change in one monster that enhances it's inherit abilities beyond the norm. Subspecies: a group of a species that split off to a new environment, causing it to change and develop abilities to suit it's new environment, generally aquiring a new element.

On the subject of Shagaru's special virus that turns Gores into Chaotic Gores, I think that's not its real intention. The intention of the special virus is to simply kill the potential usurper before it can finish molting. I suspect most Gore Magalas who wander into a Shagaru's territory simply die, either from the shock of having their molt stopped, or quickly being overwhelmed by their own power, dying within seconds or minutes of turning into a Chaotic Gore. That's why we don't see hunts for Low or High-Rank Chaotic Gores - they perish before they can cause any serious harm to the ecosystem. But G-Rank/Master Rank Gore Magalas, being the toughest of their kind, can survive the transformation into a Chaotic and then last for much longer - days or even weeks depending on the individual. They do eventually expire on their own, but not before going on a violent rampage that can easily wreck any ecosystem they wander into as their unfathomable agony and humiliation makes them lash out at anything that draws too near.

@frozenherolp9077

I think Shagaru´s Frenzy just stops Gore´s molting and a Chaotic one is just an unlucky specimen, that got hit by Shagy´s Frenzy while molting. If Gore Magalas die within Shagarus territory, it´s props just Shagy hunting them.

I do wish that some deviants could just be super old or seasoned veteran individuals that are available in Master/G rank missions. Dread king and queen just seem like a progression of the species while Thunderlord most certainly appears to be zinogre pushed to the limit of its natural ability.

You make better bestiary documentaries with monster hunter than what animal planet has done in the past few years.

Your mha videos are great, but your monster hunter videos are… breathtaking! Keep up the great work man!

All of these are like watching Blue planet for a fictional world and I love it. I can feel the love and passion in every word, sentence and paragraph. What a series. Well done.

You gotta pay this guy respect for making sense of all of this because MH history is quite chaotic! (Let's hope MH6+ will not mess this up completely)

Ngl your indepth lore videos got me into MHW, and I finally beat Iceborne today using the insect glaive so thanks for that and the amazing content.

Those ecology videos are a great way to come to a deeper understanding of these creatures. Even though they're fictional. It's so cool. I never really seen the monsters like this

This was great! I like how you tied the apexes mostly being cut and paste deviants in. Was hoping a little you'd go into soulseer Mizutsune, but all the same, love how this wove into other stuff you've speculated on in your previous videos.

I hope you do a video on zenith monsters from monster Hunter frontier from what I read about them from reading the monster Hunter wiki they are very interesting and quite unique in terms of a powered up version of a normal monster.

Variants are basically the same Monster in a particular species that has undergo a huge transformation, mutation or adaptation to suit the environment or for survival, but only occurs in an individual monster, sometimes temporary, sometimes permanent, others accident or just natural.

The Hunters guild will push the Jaggi species to the brink, creating a truly terrifying monster... the Omega Jaggi.

It’s quite the experience. Despite world being my introduction, I’ve been missing out. I’m a sucker for giant imaginative convincing fictional giant monsters and kaiju and ecological related subjects like zoology. So this game sparks my love for the franchise ever since.

Okay, I know this is absolutely not on topic for the video, but that first shot wasn't the small island from the Krombacher advertisement from a different perspective (and modern time), right? That looks soo eerily similar, and idk how far German ads spread down to your place, but by god that image will by burnt into my mind for decades to come. That being said, this gon be a treat!

Yeah Deviants usually typically fall under one of 3 categories: 1. Grown older & more experienced, even driven to expand upon its usual antics by their own volition, like the Rustrazor Ceanataur. 2. A particular organ becomes overdeveloped, like Hellblade Glavenus or Dreadqueen Rathian. 3. Contrived by the fault of one or multiple fights, like Bloodbath Diablos or Deadeye Garuga

Variants and Deviants are quite awesome in my opinion.

I still want a Goss Harag Variant

this makes me more in to this game never knew all of this

I think Variants undergo changes that can be replicated and Deviants undergo changes that can't necessarily be replicated.

2:04 Wake up, babe, new scrunkly just dropped

3:15 ik he’s not a Variant but you basically just Explained bloodbath in a nutshell

It was my understanding that variants were a genetic mutation in a specific individual, like an individual with a genetic alteration like a silver/gold rathalos or an individual in a unique stage of its life cycle like a black diablos, while deviants were individuals affected by external conditions that alter their behavior to compensate, like the initial example of the creature with the broken horn or the in-universe example of the bloodbath diablos...

I see Deviants as the White Whales of Monster Hunter singular individuals that are spoken of in whispers and those that seek them out are considered crazy. Take Bloodbath for example, if you replicated exactly how one was made it will never look like the original Bloodbath or its temperament could be different. The multiple of the same Devient quests in Gen and GU are, in my eyes at least, the game doing game things.

i always took Deviants as 1 off individuals, like you can never have another Bloodbath because there was only ever 1

14:46 "and today's sponsor..." 😆

Bro… this can be applied to people as a basic understanding on how we are individually and collectively based on experiences and environment.

I usually describe Deviants as Variants on roids. How I'd like to put it is like this; let's use the Brown Bear as an example. A species of brown bear is the Grizzly Bear, while a subspecies is the Kodiak Bear. Let's say a Variant of a brown bear is Smokey the Bear, an individual that is the same species but unique, while a Deviant is Smokey who snorted almost 200 lbs of cocaine turning into the bloodthirsty Cocaine Bear (I get cocaine bear's a black bear, but you get the point)

Idk if this has already been discussed, but there one could justify Black Diablos as a subspecies by slightly redefining the definition of the word. If Subspecies is defined as "phenotypical difference occurred because of genetical factors", then any physical change to any monster that is due to genetics and not induced by its environment or external events in general, like say breeding season, can lead to "transitory subspecies". Likewise Black Gravios is a subspecies if the hardened shell caused by intense body temperature is caused by semi-dominant or latent genes, whose phenotypical expression is not certain (like you hypothesized in the previous video). Of course this is not considered by Capcom, rather it's a likely oversight, but I'd like what you all think of this slight definition change, especially if there are cases of monsters whose "bad categorization" can't be justified in this way. Thanks a lot!

i.e. "natural variants" as Frostfang Barioth could be against this, as "any Barioth is predisposed to be a Frostfang". But... not every Barioth becomes one? Are we sure there are no environmental contributions to this change? Weirdly I can't find evidence that Frostfang is "just an old Barioth", but I don't think that's just Mandela Effect. So... Old age, harsh fights and environment justify this change, but since it can't be taken for granted, predicted? It's not a "genetic mode" like B.Diablos, but a "responsive mode"?
