Dorcean Headcanons: Hunting

Hunting has great part in their culture. Unfortunately, there's many misconceptions about their view on it.

They have an honor code when it comes to hunting, which is taught to them from a young age. It consists of three simple rules.

Never lay claim to another hunter's prey.

Always perform a clean kill.

Nothing goes to waste

And now, some trivia on this aspect of Dorcean culture, as well as some analysis about their honor code.

Not all Dorceans are hunters. However, it is a preferred career.

Even at his most desperate during his two-year hunting, Besteel never broke the honor code.

Hunting is a dangerous job, and there are days when even the most veteran hunters return home empty-handed. As such, no matter the circumstances, taking an animal from someone else's trap, AKA stealing, is frowned upon, if not utterly vilified. And yes, freeing the animals counts. No wonder Besteel was so mad at Rovender!

As many hunters point out, they hunt 'for sport' because they're hired to do so. In fact, Vamphyr himself once said non-Dorceans would rather have them kill Orbona's animals because they're too cowardly to do so themselves—a sentiment shared by most Dorceans.

Hunters will often decorate the walls of their homes with trophies from their most challenging quarries.

It might not look like it, but hunting gliders require high maintenance. As such, only veteran hunters can afford to have one. And they take very good care of it.

As mentioned before, a hunter will sometimes return home empty-handed. As such, when they make a kill, they will take everything that can be used from the carcass, leaving nothing to go to waste. Hunters who do so are often inexperienced.

They will never use poison—not out of morals, but practicality. Poison can potentially ruin the carcass's quality or, at worst, make its meat inedible. As such, Cassiora's unorthodox use of poisoned or drugged arrows to bring down prey was looked at with disapproval.

When they kill an animal for survival reasons, Dorceans have a small rite that involves thanking it for its sacrifice in their language. If the animal is agonizing, they put a quick end to their suffering.

While Dorceans make their first kill at an early age, they're not considered fully-fledged hunters until they've undergone a rite of passage at 14 years old. They're taken to the Heart of the Forest and left there with a time limit of 24 hours; they cannot return to the village without killing something.

Needless to say, Besteel's kill was exceptional for his young age: an adult vipanther, a deadly predator from the Dorcean homeworld that can give even veteran hunters a run for their money. This was such an impressive feat that the entire tribe threw a celebration in his honor.

Redimus, on the other hand… Well, let's just say that everyone could see he didn't have the character nor the cold blood to be a hunter—something he and Thalyss were quite content with.

Mammusk hunts are held yearly to replenish the tribe's food supply for winter. This is a social event in which most, if not all, of the tribe's hunters take part.

Dorceans have plenty of songs that focus on hunting activities, extolling the strength of a particular hunter, a particularly fearsome creature—such as Broken Tooth. These may be sung in many contexts: before or during a hunt, before battle with external forces, and during social events.

Btw, I imagine the vipanther looking like the tobi-kadachi from monster hunter.

…Without the elemental attacks that is.

A surprise special adopt today! I've been wanting to do a monster hunter inspired adopt for a while now but I keep forgetting, so I decided to just do one today while I still remember.

I'm a big fan of the Mizutsune, it's probably up there in my top 10 favorite monsters. I decided to use the Soulseer Mizutsune as my inspiration because they are very cool. I have one in my party for Monster Hunter Stories 2. I named him Sanseer.

Much like the monster he is based on, this guy is covered in scars and has been rendered blind. Soulseer Mizutsunes use their bubbles to compensate for their lack of eyesight, so maybe this guy has something similar? That's up to you! Despite his weary and scared appearance, he's still quite elegant. My personal headcanon is that he got all those scars from fighting the previous emperor/empress. He survived, though it was definitely a hard battle. Again, though, everything is up to you!

As always, if you're interested you can get this guy from the link below ^^

SOULSEER

monster hunter world brainrotting so hard rn. You should all consider urselves lucky im not spam reblogging cool nergigante fanart or perhaps xeno'jiiva or tobi kadachi or

[iamthekaijuking]

I love this thing but man I’m scratching my head over what it could be. This is kinda a repeat of my troubles with Tobi Kadachi.

Part of me wants to say freak ass Alvarezsaur. Or maybe offshoot of the lineage I’ve purposed involving monsters leading up to the flying/bird wyvern split which includes maccao, the new world raptors, and seikret.

[transgenderization]

i love you the tobi-kadachi. from monster hunter world

[dan-from-onami]

The amount of times either a Tobi Kadachi or Tzitzi Ya Ku came in clutch on a hunt and just lept in, dealt a ton of damage to a monster that was wrecking me, then dipped, is astounding. I won't hear anything against them, they're bros.

Tzitzi just out here flashbanging Rathians while Tobi just throwing his whole self at Rathalos

Love these two with all my heart rn

[cloud-ya]

Rimu seens like a nice guy, cool thing that you have a liking for birds and feathery eastern dragons and I like felines and reptiles in general

you'd love tobi-kadachi

[otiksimr]

I saw people were sending their favorites?

Pokémon: Bulbasaur, Cyndaquil, Quilava, Hisuian Typhlosion, Glimmora

Monster Hunter (since I think I've seen you reblog some stuff on the topic): Zamite, Zamtrios, Aptonoth, Epioth, Burukku, Tobi-Kadachi

Pokemon: A lot of cuters. Hisuian Typhlosian I'm not the biggest fan of, compared to the other reigonal starters they're pretty lack luster. 8/10.

Monster Hunter: I am massive Monhun fan :) love the silly beasts and like making pair of boots out of their skin. Both the silly sharks and the herbivores are pretty interesting picks, I have no nice things to say about Epioth. Tobi is a cutie for sure. 6/10.

[winged-void]

I miss tobi kadachi. She's so lovely

[fromthehouseofgerber]

I’m gonna cry I’m so emotional rn I love monster Hunter and I love tobi-kadachi and animals and creatures and I love the palicos they’re so cute and I love my friends and I love my wife … the wife… I miss my wife

The world is so full of peace and love and I’m gonna sob about it

viper tobi-kadachi is my favorite baby in the whole wide world :))) they deserve many meat treats. maybe you could draw one?? love your art btw, you have such a cute style and your skill with line weight is remarkable!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH ANON THIS GENUINELY MADE MY DAY IM GLAD YOU LIKE MY ART

viper is one of my least fav subspecies in Iceborne HOWEVER i think this can open my eyes to the squirrel creature!! Expect some art in a day or so!!

[rapidmorph3]

If you had to pick monsters (or endemic life )to own as pets which ones you'd like the most, myself I'd love the glowing gecko from elders recess or a ludrorh

Oh good picks! I really like the goldspring macaque. I use the layered head in worldborne that's just of it sitting on your hunter's head and I have a bunch of them in my room hahaha it's so cute. Tobi-kadachi or malfestio for big monster maybe, but it's so hard to choose 🥹

[nek-ros]

I am actually having more monster hunter x rain code brainrot now, what monsters do you think the NDA people prefer to hunt like do they have a favourite monster? Or alternatively, if you were to assign the detectives monsters from MH, which would they be? I think you might have mentioned something about Vivia being a bit like Malzeno but what about the others?

That makes two of us with the Monster Hunter Rain Code brainrot combo! For whatever monsters they prefer to hunt and associate them with, I picked from the Rise Sunbreak pool since that's the game I'm placing them in for the crossover AU. Though it's very possible I could cheat and pick a monster that's in World if I feel like it heh. Enough dilly-dallying, time for the list!

Yuma - I feel like he'd favor hunting Rathalos, a good challenge while also not too overly demanding like an elder dragon. It's a good show of strength without putting himself in too much danger. The posterboys are fighting! As for what monster I associate him with, I'd say Chameleos suits him pretty well. An elder dragon with the ability to blend in with its surroundings and create mist, while also acting very jittery and unpredictably. Yep, that sounds like our lad.

Halara - They enjoy hunting down Goss Harag since they treat it like a sparring session. Two powerful blade wielders battling to the death, just the average hunt for Halara. This is where I start to cheat by saying that Halara's associated monster is Glavenus. Another sword-like monster, Glavenus is known for being one of the strongest brute wyverns while also being the most intelligent, fitting for Halara's excellence in brains and brawn.

Desuhiko - Taking the surname Thunderbolt to the extreme, he absolutely loves to hunt Zinogre. I associate Desuhiko with electric guitar motifs, so for Zinogre to also have electric guitar in its theme makes it all the better. I associate him most with Tobi-Kadachi though, the electric flying snake-squirrel simply fits him to a T. He managed to get the highest honor one can receive since Tobi is my favorite monster.

Fubuki - Her favorite monster is Velkhana! She likes to think of the icy elder dragon as royalty, so she treats the monster with utmost respect in battle, even if it means she often finds herself incased in ice for her chivalry. I feel like she reminds me of Mizutsune the most, since this monster appears harmless at first, but its bubbles are surprisingly deadly in unconventional ways by tripping up hunters.

Vivia - He's definitely the type of person who prefers not to hunt unless absolutely necessary, but when he does, he gravitates toward hunting Gore Magala. That is, until he tries to snuggle under one while using its fluffy wings as a blanket. And of course I associate the anemic vampire with the vampiric dragon Malzeno! Once a peaceful monster living in harmony with humans, its tranquility was destroyed while fighting for dominance against a powerful, demonic elder dragon. This battle forced Malzeno to form a symbiotic bond with parasitic leeches that infected it, something that Vivia would most likely sympathize with (and is definitely a plot point in the crossover AU).

Yakou - The chief achieves the greatest thrill when hunting Crimson Glow Valstrax. It's basically like fighting fire with fire with these two rocketeers. Maybe this monster even reminds Yakou of Yomi due to its title as the 'star of despair,' much like what the leader of Amaterasu has become over the years. It's certainly one way to take out his pent-up guilt and rage. I'm gonna cheat again by associating Yakou with Namielle. The sea dragon propaganda prevails!

you play monster hunter? which one(s)? what weapons do you like?

The only one I have played is Monster Hunter World (I've seen a bit of Rise and I love the dogs but I heard the gameplay and design wasn't as enjoyable, like they rushed a lot of aspects of the gameplay that I enjoy taking time to do so idk)

I main the light bowgun! I only play with friends and I prefer being a support type character, I like the mobility and range I get with the light bowgun, especially ones that allow for healing ammo. The wyvern blasts are really fun for me as a playstyle cuz I enjoy trying to predict and lure where the monsters are gonna land.

My favorite monsters are Tobi-Kadachi and Pukei-Pukei :3

I also LOVE the battle theme soundtracks for all the maps in game but my favs are definitely the Rotten Vale and Wildspire Waste !
