This is based on a very quick reconstruction I made based on the new paper, which suggests a kind of "pseudonares" enveloped entirely by the premaxilla. Reconstructing this area can still achieve the more conventional appearance.

@munsterhunter16 @BannedDino Baleful is a mutation and GB is an older ceadeus (not to say normal Cea is young, just that GB is older)

@BannedDino “What happens when standard individuals have access to superior nutrition”

Makes me think the sub raths are the same species as the normal ones

Given the discourse on this topic recently, we’ve decided to make a 🧵 for the subject to get to the true point of the issue, as it appears to have been lost here. What was the point of this joking statement?

@BannedDino voljang?

@AngelofCloud9 @BannedDino iirc in Japanese, it was more that it evolved to be the way it is in the New World. And that got mistranslated to be that it evolved differently than those in the Old World.

This comes from the MHW brochure, which came from a festival in 2018.

Here is an early sketch of the Great Ravine, which shows how an ancient Dalamadur created the locale during a previous Elder Crossing.

The Wilds lore in the Monster Hunter Illustrations 3 book

The full text can be translated as: "A flying dragon with chain-shaped wings. The chainblades on its wings can be stretched and retracted, and are used to sweep away prey as well as absorb elemental energy."

It's far from perfect BUT...

The pygmy sperm whale (Kogia breviceps) has a unique exocrine gland near its false gill slit! 🐋 Its secretion—a mix of carbs, proteins, lipids & uric acid (rare in mammals!)—may serve in chemical communication, likely sensed via taste.

had a massive breakthrough with this btw and more or less pinned down the location of one of the most elusive places in the series, all it took was letting go of a thing I had gaslit myself into thinking was canon and actually double checking

While #echinochrome staining of bone is best known in sea otters that feed on sea urchins, it is also known in fishes that have a similar diet. Here are a few examples of fishes with purple bones (e.g., Wolffish, Moray Eel & Parrotfish). #TheMoreYouKNow.
