Monster Hunter has the best creature designs.

[Missiletainn]

"Rathalos is not your friend", Monster Hunter Stories begs to differ

[mx.e]

“This guy is not your friend”
Monster hunter stories: bet

[melon_boi]

*me making a giant wiggler:* mhm, mhm, yes I see

[momonaticslife]

"For instance, hunters can cut off the Rathians tail by focusing their attacks on it, eliminating the Rathians venomous tail strikes"
Me a Monster Hunter Veteran: Well yes, but actually no.

[Zachstro]

“Avoid the deadly tail flip attack of the Rathian, the series mascot”
Rathalos has died

[meowsquared]

Would love too see a follow up "How to make armor: Monster Hunter Edition", using this monster's design as a basis

[JT_Lich]

"This guy is not your friend"

He is when I get his assist trophy.

[minkyungk]

Says Rathian is the series mascot.
Rathalos: Am I a joke to you?

[caffeinated_doot]

Monster Hunter is soo good at conveying personality of creatures. The first time you saw a Yian Kut-ku and you're like "That's a big FIRE CHICKEN! IT'S A FIRE CHICKEN! wait, it just tripped over nothing lol. Fiery derp chicken"

[willbillingham]

Claire timelapsing her art is therapeutic. Just so nice to watch and always turns out amazing!

[cramorantisgod]

Monster Hunter has by far my favourite creature design. Their blend of realism and fantasy, and their ecology makes the term monster seem too extreme which I love.

[Sovann_the_Mighty]

"Let's make an original monster, a lean wolf-like predator that jumps in for big damage, maybe dealing bleed damage with its claws and then retreats."

Odogaron: "bruh am I a joke to you?"

[Arpin_Lusene]

Monster hunter game's monsters has one of the best creature design out there. I've never seen monsters that strike the balance of fantasy, realism, and distinct "iconic" look as well as MH. I'm sure there are others out there, but I would say it's very few. The creatures that I've seen are always lacking in one those variables that I talked about.

[speedb.bernard]

I think you guys should make a similar video about souls borne since the design principle the hidataka miazaki games use is realy interesting and I think it whould make for an interesting and informative video

[zenebean]

Your design reminds me of a mythologized kaprosuchus ("boar croc") and I'm all for it

[sluggishsloth]

This is so cool! I love creature designs in a lot of games like this. 👍

[greatjaggi]

When your creating creatures, you ask questions about it like a biologists. How it eats, mate, sleep. I recommend looking at a sleeping tigrex it's the best

[Qonstable]

If you're continuing this series I'd love to see what you make of the creature designs of digimon since those are especially whacky-!

[perryunicorn]

the thing the gets me is even the character animations for the monster move so much like real animals. I spent all my life around horses and I actually tell how the Kirin is feeling and if its getting mad but how it moves. It moves and emotes exactly like a real horse..showing its feeling the exact same way. It just makes it feel all the more like a REAL living thing.
