Dalamadur yelling at Fatalis [Warning: Ears will be hurt]

Fatalis vs Dalamadur, a partially controversial topic in the VS department, along side Shara vs Gaisma and such...

Despite the Monster Hunter community pulling on both extremes in this match-up, I take it that they'd actually be more closely tied, even matched by their own powers and strengths. If anything, they could both kill the other fairly quickly, it's only a matter of who can strike first...

This animation was more so just an audio thing, but I decided to just add a little poof to it, that being the context of the Dalamadur vs Fatalis discussion...

Copy-pasta for deh Youtube gods:
Dis Monster Hunter animation is brought to you by "SFM", a software in beta since 2012

I love how Dalamadur is so colossal that its roar is infrasound and deafening at the same time and human ear just can't actually hear it properly

[Enneamorph]

I never really thought about just how viciously booming Dalamdur’s roar would actually be. A lion’s roar can be absolutely deafening. I’m sure a half-km long mountain snake’s roar would be _earth-shattering._

[espinas]

Dalamadur really did just vine boom on Fatalis, what a chad.

I love how Fatalis is just like “you finished?”

A scary fact about sound:

At around 194 decibels, sound stops being sound, and the excess energy pushes the sound forward, essentially converting it into a shockwave. For comparison's sake:

-a plane taking off some 100 meters away produces around 130 decibels
-a rocket launch produces around 180 decibels which, while being ear-splittingly loud, is still relatively "audible"
-a thunderstrike can produce around 160-180 decibels, though it has been reported to exceed 200 decibels in some cases
-a 1-kiloton nuclear bomb can produce sound of around 210 decibels
-a sperm whale can produce vocalizations up to 230 decibels which would be enough to rupture your eardrums and even kill you if you stood next to it. This is the loudest sound any animal can produce, as well as the loudest naturally occuring sound on the planet.

So what was the loudest sound known to man? According to most experts, it was the 1883 Krakatoa Eruption, which supposedly reached up to 310 decibels. To give you an idea of what it was like:

- sailors 60 kilometers away reportedly lost their hearing
- 160 kilometers away, it was recorded at 172 dB, louder than a shotgun going off next to your ear and in the town of Batavia -- modern day Jakarta -- the pressure wave not only threw the local gasometers off the scale but also caused windows to burst and walls to crack
- people 4800 kilometers away described it as cannon fire from nearby ships
- in Germany, people reported hearing a loud gunshot, and the air pulse was reported to have caused rising ocean waves in both the UK and the US
- the shockwave itself circled the entire Earth 3-4 times before completely dissipating

As a final caveat: the energy released from the explosion was said to have been equal to 200 megatons of TNT. For perspective: the most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated was the Tsar Bomba, which ONLY had a yield of around 50 megatons, and that was AFTER they scaled it down from its original 100 megaton yield. To put things into even more perspective: the flare of the explosion was visible at a distance of 1000 kilometers -- and people as far as in Norway, Greenland and Alaska were confirmed to have seen it -- and the Tsar Bomba's mushroom cloud reached a total height of 95 kilometers, which itself was visible at a distance of 800 kilometers. And just for the fun of it: the Tsar Bomba's yield was 10 times more powerful than the entirety of the ordnance exploded during WWII.

Thanks for reading

The start of his roar honestly sounds like an explosion. Which... knowing how explosions work, is surprisingly true to how a real world mountain sized monster would probably sound.

[LordZaxom]

This has given me a hilarious mental image that this isn't even Dalamadur being angry this is just their normal speaking voice and the sounds they make when fighting is basically them whispering.

[sapling_hoshii]

Fatalis giving zero fucks got me dead from laughing

[tek]

Fatalis just looking up at Dalamdur like, "you're talking an awful lot of shit for something in incineration range."

[Riyyan-yqru]

I just realized with the size diffrence this big, Dalamadur beam attack can litteraly cover fatalis as a whole lmao.

[MimeTron]

I've just been replaying this for a good 2 minutes, the detail in the audio is very appealing. That and I just really like Dalamadur as a monster.

[sephatu]

"With the sixth fall of darkness, Shah Dalamadur wrote joyous songs to heal our hearts."
Fatalis: 😑

[thedom]

I wouldn't let him talk to me like that, personally 😤

[creepermav]

The one thing I find terrifying is that Dalamadur's roar would be absolutely life threatening on its own. Hearing this roar up close would absolutely kill you due to the change in air pressure and would otherwise cause you to go deaf if you heard it from a distance. Anything above 70 Decibels for a long period of time can cause damage to your ears so imagine how many DB the roar of this thing would be. You have to realize that this is an Elder Dragon that can literally take mountains down like they're and cause a whole bunch of deformation and change in the environmental terrain just from moving around.

Anyways, I like this little animation. It was very funny seeing Dalamadur roar as Fatalis just sits there without a single bit of care in the world. Very well done.

[ciontachthecthonicchampion]

I really like when giant monsters sound more like a storm or a other force of nature rather than just a large animal.

Just in general I’ll take awe, presence, and power over a cool design any day.

Like just about all the divine beasts look cooler than naboris, who is just a big camel. But it’s PRESENCE makes it one of the best parts of the game

[uestiosnoranswer]

The most realistic large monster roar I’ve heard. I feel like the first part of the sound wave is deafening then if your ears are not destroyed then it might slowly fade into the actual sound.

[Altraiid]

I love Dalamadur so much, I miss it, and it's saddening to know it's probably not coming back

[beaneatingoni]

Dalamadur: *roars angrily in low quailty model*
Fatalis: *Laughs in HQ graphics*

[KnightsDisillusion]

Fatalis: Alright you passed the test, now MY turn...
