#223 Beotodus

idk what's wrong with you guys cause this fish is 1000x better than Plesioth, Lavasioth, and Mud Lavasioth. He makes neat sounds and plays in the snow.

[nicks-nest]

Had another wave of productivity for unimportant stuff so here’s a personal take on Beotodus with an idea that it’s still a wyvern and not an actual fish with wyvern characteristics. Definitely wasn’t my comfort zone. Hopefully you all like it

post this fish when they least expect it

sm doodles of my character from a mh dnd campaign that my good pal @metalharbor is doing!!

their name is rime, nd they're a beotodus! they are also Large and gay. the barioth in the 2nd pic is summit! honestly i dont know how to describe their relationship, "platonically bonded" is probably the best way i can put it.

im like super normal about them pls ask me things abt my fish

its entirely unethical that there are no monster hunter/svsss crossovers. the system manager messes up and just shunts shen yuan to a holding world while trying to sort shit out, and SY just wakes up in the middle of the darj snowfields (mh:s) as a wyverian and gets taken in by hakum village. SY would go batshit insane for the whole taming monsters and keeping the balance thing, especially once he meets the hunters guild research people, and just goes 'yes, thats what i want to do' and then he proceeds to become a hunter/scholar and travel around all of the known world and into the new world.

he'd have two different sets of armor/weapons/gear of different purposes, one for all out hunting and another for quick quiet movements for field research.

some monster friends he has are a Najarala, Lagiacrus, Nerscylla, Tobi-Kadachi, Paolumu, and Beotodus (going off of MH:stories with having 6 party members total).

he just starts exploring the hoarfrost reach (23 years post system fuck up) when the system fixes the problem but then it looks at the replacement soul it chose and is just like 'oh. oh no. he's competent now. fuck.' but it cant go back on it cause of its user policy and so its forced to take This Guy and put him into the new situation, and unfortunately for the system all of SY's soul bound stuff goes with him, which means his wyverian body and his monster familiars.

the system CAN however make all of his familiars be deaged into eggs.

eventually the beast peak lord picks him off the street like a wet rag because this weird feral kid refuses to give her the eggs that he's hoarding, but shes never seen these eggs before and she really wants to study them, so she just forcibly adopts the 'kid.' he's not a kid, hes just a wyverian, who can get really really old even without cultivation, so he's like the human equivalent of a 16-year-old when he's actually around 44.

anyways, liu qingge is absolutely whipped for his weird shixiong who is both older and younger than him, who can delicately flip over a massive Earth Boaring Slime Muskrat with his spear, and who can smash a Tiger Footed Armadillo Dragon in the face with a massive hammer that shatters its skull, and who is so excited to sit down in a small roadside teahouse and rant about trophic cascade, and Liu Qingge has no idea what that is but Shen Qingre (clear restlessness/zeal) is extremely pretty when he's passionate.

Oh fuck it's Beotodus from Monster Hunter World Iceborne!

SPOILERS FOR MONSTER HUNTER WILDS I know you do more on the systemics side of spec-evo, but I wanted to see if you had any opinion of the star-ranking and general 'danger level' of monsters in Monster Hunter (as presented in the games).

I was going through the monster journals in past games and I realize how the star-ranking used for many of them is rather inconsistent (with Rise/Sunbreak changing a LOT of rankings in particular). So, I tried to make a 'Tier List' how dangerous or threatening each of the monsters (3rd gen and after due to how I feel the ecology is significantly more fleshed out after that point) are to human hunters and civilians that encounter them whilst foraging or as they travel between settlements (which often requires large herbivores as beasts of burden). It is also important to note that civilians include Felynes, as they are both smaller than humans and, given that other Lynians live out in the wilds, may be viewed as prey more regularly then humans. Note: I am also using this post as a brainstorming exercise for me to better visualize the effects that massive megafauna have on humans and broader ecosystems as a whole, so I apologize if it feel like I am spitballing at times.

Tier 0: Endemic Life

Virtually everything too small to really defend itself. An exterminator would likely be called, not a Hunter, if need be.

Tier 1: (★) → Aptonoth Tier. Generally non-aggressive and non-carnivorous (at least not the kind/size of carnivory an adult felyne needs to worry about).

Gen 3: Altaroth, Epioth, Gargwa, Slagtoth

Gen 4: Konchu, Larinoth, Moofah

Gen 5: Bombadgy, Gowngoat

Gen 6: Seikret, Ceratonoth, Gelidron, Porkeplume, Rafma

Tier 2: (★★) → Bullfango Tier. These mfs actively attack the hunter or have some clear potential to ruins a novice hunter's day while trying to carry wyvern eggs or powderstones. Felynes beware of some of these.

Gen 3: Bnahabra, Delex, Giggi, Rhenoplos, Uroktor

Gen 4: Zamite, Maccao

Gen 5: Gastodon, Kestodon, Shamos, Wulg, Wingdrakes, Boggi

Gen 6: Bulaqchi, Comaqchi, Dalthydon, Gajios, Kranodath, Talioth

Tier 3: (★★★) → Kut-Ku Tier. Start of the big boys. Assume I'm referring to the Greats when their species is listed. Human start to be viable prey options for some carnivores while felynes are definitely on the menu for most predators.

Gen 3: Jaggi, Baggi, Wroggi, Qurupeco, Ludroth, Arzuros, Lagombi, Volvidon

Gen 4: Seltas, Tetsucabra, Kecha Wacha

Gen 5: Jagras, Girros, Izuchi, Aknosom, Dodogama, Tzitzi, Kulu, Paolumu, Pukei-Pukei

Gen 6: Chatacabra, Lala Barina, Quematrice

Tier 4: (★★★★) → Khezu Tier. Beginning of the disproportionately large amount of large carnivores (compared to the lack of as many large herbivorous prey species for them).

Gen 3: Barroth, Nibelsnarf, Gobul, Gigginox

Gen 4: Zamtrios, Najarala, Nerscylla, Malfestio

Gen 5: Tetranadon, Jyuratodus, Radobaan, Bishaten, Somnacanth, Tobi-Kadachi

Gen 6: Balahara, Doshaguma, Rompopolo

Tier 5: (★★★★★) → Rathian Tier. This is where I start to be a bit controversial.

Gen 3: Uragaan, Duramboros

Gen 4: Seltas Queen, Mizutsune, Astalos

Gen 5: Anjanath, Banbaro, Beotodus, Garangolm

Gen 6: Ajarakan, Hirabami

Tier 6: (★★★★★★) → Rathalos Tier. Here we see most Flagships and generally what the community considers 'Apex Level' monsters. Some of which have known civilian kill-counts or are Ahtal-Ka (my bias, as while I love the monster, Idk if it's giant mech form should be counted or wtf to do with it considering how outlandish it is from an ecological and ethological perspective, so I am not including it for it's role as a threat).

Gen 3: Lagiacrus, Brachydios, Barioth, Agnaktor, Zinogre

Gen 4: Glavenus, Seregios, Ahtal-Ka

Gen 5: Magnamalo, Goss Harag, Almudron, Legiana, Lunagaron, Odogaron, Rakna-Kadaki

Gen 6: Uth Duna, Rey Dau, Nu Udra, Xu Wu

Tier 7: (★★★★★★★) → Kushala/Teostra Tier. This is where Rajang is allowed to 'tie' in a Turf War instead of steamrolling everything. Also, like everything here some mixture of huge, biochemical warfare or spoken of in lore as being disproportionately destructive.

Gen 3: Deviljho

Gen 4: Gore Magala, Gammoth

Gen 5: Bazelgeuse, Vaal Hazak, Namielle, Narwa, Ibushi

Gen 6: Jin Dahaad

Tier 8: (★★★★★★★★) → Akantor/Ukanlos Tier. Effectively godlike monsters, if the lore is to be considered in their respective games, and/or the apexes among apexes in whatever biome they live in (unless Dalamadur is nearby) and/or having disastrous impacts on ecosystems at an individual level (according to lore).

Gen 3: Cedeus, Amatsu

Gen 4: Shagaru Magala, Nakarkos, Valstrax

Gen 5: Nergigante, Velkhana, Malzeno

Gen 6: Arkveld

Tier 9: (★★★★★★★★★) → Fatalis Tier. Obviously, Fatalis is kinda considered like a deity among monsters, but I didn't have another reference point for 'literally the most dangerous without needing a siege battle'. Some are less overtly dangerous to encounter than others, but their presence nearby is an overt indicator that some calamity if about to occur which drives extreme civilian-wildlife conflict.

Gen 3: Alatreon, Dire Miralis

Gen 4: Gogmazios

Gen 5: Gaismagorm, Xeno'jiiva, Shara Ishvalda

Gen 6: Zoh Shia

Sieges: (★★★★★★★★★★) → Kaiju Tier. I don't know what to say about this beyond you need like an army for this mfs; they are a bit wonky in terms of their roles in their ecosystems compared to others.

Gen 3: Jhen Mohran

Gen 4: Dah'ren Mohran, Dalamadur

Gen 5: Zorah Magdaros, Kulve Taroth, Safi'jiiva

Gen 6: N/A

This is a pretty neat grouping! Generally monster danger levels can be pretty whacky because it has to take into account how dangerous a monster can be to hunt as well as how dangerous it is when it comes to human/wildlife interactions.

And the latter can very wildly from viewing people as prey items (khezu, nargacuga, etc), being aggressive towards people due to territoriality (Barroth, Raths, etc), being aggressive towards people due to negative human interaction (deadeye yian garuga, bloodbath diablos, etc), to just being something that you can’t really get rid of if it enters your city (lao shan lung, malzeno, etc).

How strong a monster actually is, isn’t usually taken into account. For instance despite being the same danger level, Mizutsune and Gravios are very obviously not equal in strength.

Anyways this was a neat ask
