"RUDIMENTARY CREATURES OF BLOOD AND FLESH. YOU TOUCH MY MIND, FUMBLING IN IGNORANCE, INCAPABLE OF UNDERSTANDING. THERE IS A REALM OF EXISTENCE SO FAR BEYOND YOUR OWN YOU CANNOT EVEN IMAGINE IT. I AM BEYOND YOUR COMPREHENSION. I AM SHOGUN. ORGANIC LIFE IS NOTHING BUT A GENETIC MUTATION, AN ACCIDENT. YOUR LIVES ARE MEASURED IN YEARS AND DECADES. YOU WITHER, AND DIE. WE ARE ETERNAL. THE PINNACLE OF EVOLUTION AND EXISTENCE. BEFORE US, YOU ARE NOTHING. YOUR EXTINCTION IS INEVITABLE. WE ARE THE END OF EVERYTHING. WE IMPOSE ORDER ON THE CHAOS OF ORGANIC EVOLUTION. YOU EXIST BECAUSE WE ALLOW IT, AND YOU WILL END BECAUSE WE DEMAND IT. MY KIND TRANSCENDS YOUR VERY UNDERSTANDING. WE ARE EACH A NATION — INDEPENDENT, FREE OF ALL WEAKNESS. YOU CANNOT EVEN GRASP THE NATURE OF OUR EXISTENCE. WE HAVE NO BEGINNING. WE HAVE NO END. WE ARE INFINITE. MILLIONS OF YEARS AFTER YOUR CIVILIZATION HAS BEEN ERADICATED AND FORGOTTEN, WE WILL ENDURE. WE ARE LEGION. THE TIME OF OUR RETURN IS COMING. OUR NUMBERS WILL DARKEN THE SKY OF EVERY WORLD. YOU CANNOT ESCAPE YOUR DOOM. I AM THE VANGUARD OF YOUR DESTRUCTION. THIS EXCHANGE IS OVER."

I LOVE GIANT CRAB ENEMIES IN VIDEO GAMES I LOVE WHEN THEY ALSO HAVE A COOL TWIST TO THEIR DESIGN BEYOND JUST BEING BIG RAAAAAHHHHHH

[organizedchaotics]

The two tease-crabs are next. I remember hunting them the first time in MHFreedom2. I still love fighting them and celebrated the return of ShogunCeanataur and DaimyoHermitaur, i just wished they had different skullhouses...... teasers...

A coalition of monsters that did not appear in the Rampage, and the proposal for their roles if they had.

Hey everyone! I drew a swordmaster ceanataur badly.

Will draw more soon.

I didn’t have a part in this one since no organ system illustrations were needed and the bones of crabs are on the outside, but it’s still a really fun video because crabs are always a really fun thing to research.

Like UHC said, the duo having half the legs of other decapods is actually advantageous at a larger size. Less legs means less energy expenditure and more focus on the legs you have, and many of the fastest running animals only use 4 or 2 legs so it’s also a speed advantage.

And surprisingly, at least in sunbreak, Hermitaur and Ceanataur have somewhat realistic crab mouths. While their mouths are surrounded by spikes, they do have 2 out of the 3 maxillipeds visible. Albeit just oriented weird.

I do have to disagree with UHC thinking they’re unrelated though. They have too many anatomical features in common and their juveniles are identical as well. But as far as where they and by extension Shen Gaoren go in the decapod family… it’s hard to say. I’m not entirely sure since I’m not very knowledgeable about crustacean phylogenetics. Hermit crabs are an obvious answer but the ‘taurs have abdomens that are very different from real hermit crabs (although it’s entirely possible the person who modeled them didn’t know what hermit crab asses looked like).

Final Flash, Eh?

[monster-hunter-tournament]

Shogun Ceanataur vs. Daimyo Hermitaur

[monsterhuntertournament]

Round 1 Part 1: Terra Shogun Ceanataur Vs. Chaotic Gore Magala

Terra Shogun Ceanataur (Carapaceon)

Appears in: Freedom Unite

A large Carapaceon with a giant monster's skull on its back. Its long, sharp pincers allow it to pierce volcanic bedrock and travel along ceilings. Sometimes, a precious and valuable pearl can be found inside its shell.* -Freedom Unite

*This is normal Shogun Cenataur's monster description from Freedom Unite, as subspecies did not have distinct monster descriptions until 3rd gen

Vs.

Chaotic Gore Magala (???)

Appears in: 4 Ultimate, Generations Ultimate, Sunbreak

Gore Magala that have fallen into chaos, having been denied their evolution into Shagaru Magala. They maintain their original power, while possessing the potential of Shagaru Magala, making them incredibly unstable. Sometimes this leads them to fall into a state of anguish and violence. When attacking their prey, they repeatedly fold and unfurl their wings, as if to show their internal struggle with their own form. -Sunbreak
