Do you think Shara Isvalda and Gaismagorn often have fights?

These two are, if I'm not mistaken, the only two big monsters that live most of the time underground and although I don't think they feed on the same. Shara feeds on bioenergy and Gaismagorn uses the Qurio to absorb nutrients (not sure about this)

I forgot Kulve Taroth, she also lives underground, so I guess they had fights too.

Although maybe not because they don't live on the same continent. Apart from Kulve and Shara.

I would like to theorize that Gaismagorm is technically a Deep Sea Elder Dragon, not an Underground Elder Dragon given its dens location. It's probably best to explain how bioenergy and dragon energy work to explain the feeding methods of both Shara Ishvalda, Gaismagorm and the beginnings of Xeno Jiiva.

Bioenergy (or dragon energy) is everywhere, in the water, in the earth and in the air we breathe. It flows throughout the world. Xeno'Jiiva are born when this energy coalesces in one spot like a whirlpool. Shara Ishvalda meanwhile are drawn to the natural flow of this energy so they move with the flow of the bio energy underground and take root where it is most prevalent at the time. These two instances often occur after a large elder dragon has died.

Gaismagorm is a different beast.

Gaismagorm was, and possibly still is, an ambush predator for deep sea elder dragons. Instead of supping on bioenergy - it sends out scouts of a sort in waves that we have grown to know as:

The Qurio. A relatively simple life-form in the shape of a fish that could flutter around with bright colouration to lure prey. One could say that they are actually the closest in biology to a Xeno'Jiiva, as both are comprised of bioenergy.

The Qurio were Gaismagorm's lure for elder dragons like Ceadeus; a means of attracting these dragons to the cave of Gaismagorm so that the dreaded devil could grab them with its great arms and pull them into its lair to feast.

But over time, creatures tend to get wise to one's tricks, so it's a question of adapt or die. So the Qurio became parasitic leeches that would drain bioenergy from other elder dragons to give to Gaismagorm. They grew more complex, powered by Gaismagorm to find and hunt down prey instead of just luring it. But seas can run empty, and when they do - new sources must be acquired. So the Qurio began to fly. Thus began the plague on air and land.

...and how they found the species of Elder Dragon called Malzeno.

Unlike most other monsters, Malzeno were not drained but instead gained a symbiotic relationship with the Qurio, essentially leeching Gaismagorms' bio energy for themselves through the Qurio.

However, I am getting off topic.

You want to know if Gaismagorm and Shara Ishvalda fight and how often. I would say no.

Shara Ishvalda prefer arid areas and mountains, whereas Gaismagorm is going to be underground under entire oceans and seas. The two simply would not meet unless there was a large source of bioenergy between their individual biomes that was too irresistible for either to ignore.

-Leo Briarworth

To piggyback off of Leo's theory, it could be surmised that the Qurio started out as single-celled organisms during the time that Gaismagorm as a species dwelled in oceanic trenches, where light can't easily penetrate except in very specific forms and down to a certain depth. You see, taking a close look at the Qurio themselves, they give off a peculiar red glow. It's something that we can pick up on easily at a glance, something that monsters can see and follow above the ocean's depths... but past around 4.6 meters below the surface, red light begins to be absorbed as light waves are scattered.

In the deep ocean, there are creatures that use light to hunt, luring prey with a nice, shiny promise of food that sometimes glows to scare off smaller, less capable predators. In this same vein, light can be shown on prey that most creatures wouldn't be able to detect otherwise. It isn't too much of a stretch to assume that this same principle was followed before Gaismagorm eventually made the transition from sea to land, when the Qurio were still parasites that fed on Gaismagorm and the nutrients it processed as it, too, fed.

Eventually, in time immemorial, though... something changed. Gaismagorm as a species grew and their prey didn't, so they continued to adapt, and so did their parasites to this ever-changing biome whilst they worked their way up the food chain. Eventually, fish and other creatures that lived in the ocean just weren't enough, so the species both had to broaden their horizons or die. Fins became legs, legs became wings, gills that filtered oxygen from the water became lungs and vents to expel waste and excess, unusable energy.

It could be assumed that they were out-competed in the air, so then they adapted to food they could reach without expending so much energy. Once aquatic, then aerial, then subterranean... it's a massive leap and seemingly a step backward evolutionarily, but the structure of Gaismagorm's larger pair of arms suggests that they were once wings and simply evolved into powerful limbs, too heavy for flight but perfect for tunneling through solid earth and stone. Down in giant tunnels, they didn't need powerful hind legs for taking to the skies, so those became vestigial, Gaismagorm's eyes shrank as an adaptation to low-light conditions, and the Qurio, their parasites... developed wings from fins used to swim through water and their host's innards.

We might never know what led Gaismagorm to start creating exit points in the ground for the Qurio to find their way out and feed, but somewhere down the line, the behavior was sparked and a new pattern of hunting was born. Gaismagorm, too large to easily leave their tunnels, had to find food somehow, so they began to rely on the Qurio, which in turn began to treat their host as a hive. They began to leave its body, taking to the skies, hunting down and draining precious lifeblood from monsters up topside, then returning to Gaismagorm to feed it what they'd stolen.

From there, the Gaismagorm could (and can) process the blood into something that the Qurio can eat--a form of energy expelled by the elder dragon, a waste product, pure and filtered down into everything that it can't use but they can.

In the simplest of terms, think of the Qurio as Bnahabra or Vespoids, feeding their larvae meat so that they can create a protein-rich slurry that they can actually digest. It's the same principle; both species rely entirely on each other to survive.

Let's continue on with a crash course on

Flying wyverns

Flying wyverns are the most diverse and widespread of the wyverns and were among many of the first monsters classified by the guild and more are constantly being found.

The most basic form of flying wyvern is best shown by the rathalos.

These types of flying wyverns gave the group their name. Known for being exceptional flyers, rathalos himself being known as the king of the skies, they most often hunt from the air.

Though they're not always large predators, scale bats of the new world hunt insects at night and diablos are herbivores.

Overall, this body plan is shown to be very successful and is seen in many bird wyverns alongside flying wyverns.

This success made creatures like tigrex an anomaly when he was discovered, but research revealed some interesting details about flying wyvern evolution.

Flying wyverns actually evolved from quadrupeds that were exceptional runners, like tigrex. Evolving from a theorized common ancestor in wyvern rex, which tigrex shares many similarities with.

These flying wyverns are still represented today and have been shown to be very adaptable, from barioth in icy tundras to nargacuga in dense jungles.

Finally we have the distantly related giants like akantor.

These monsters are thought to be very ancient, living during the height of the elder dragons and competing with them at their peak.

While technically flying wyverns they are only very distantly related to most other flying wyverns and you'd have to go pretty far back in their evolutionary tree to find the common link.

And there was the crash course on flying wyverns, thank you.

Field Journal: Yukomo-Kamura Region

Day 7 of Yukomo-Kamura Region Expedition

My injury has yet to fully recover, but I'm able to return to light field work, which is what we were tasked with today. Reports had come in that there was trouble brewing in the Shrine Ruins, hunting grounds close to Kamura Village.

Simple work, scout the area and confirm the reports.

I was accompanied by another hunter, Junji. He's a rare sort, a young Wyverian who has taken up the profession. He's familiar with the area and provided wonderful insight to the hunting grounds.

We were up nice and early to begin our survey.

The earth was muddy under our boots, a light rain had passed over us when we made camp the night before. Personally, I've always loved the rain, the atmosphere it has, the chill ...

And the Shrine Ruins is a very damp place. On the west side is a long, knee deep river that crashes down multiple waterfalls before curving down the south side of the hunting grounds and to the east. This river alone is a hot-spot for a lot of activity, being this ecosystem's primary distribution of water.

It isn't called the Shrine Ruins for naught, as you probably already know. It is oft referred to as the 'Sanctuary Abandoned by Gods', this place was once a hub of worship for the religious.

And now, this place is 'overrun' with Monsters.

Bombadgy are endemic to the Shrine Ruins and the surrounding region. Kamura holds them in high regard in their culture. If I remember correctly, their swollen bellies represent wealth and fortune. These same stomachs are actually packed with an explosive substance that the small Fanged Beast uses for protection.

They're harmless.

We continued up north. The shrines of this place have been eroded by time but remain in remarkable condition regardless to remain standing. Old ribbons and ropes, crumbling candle-holders ...

It inspires a melancholy in me. The passage of time is both ruthless and beautiful. Nature has long since reclaimed this place and shall never give it back, but ... Seeing what has flourished in its place?

It's gorgeous.

We pressed further north, the mountains in the north outlined in the heavy fog. I figure this must be what its like at the base of the mountains close to Yukomo. The Misty Peaks and the Shrine Ruins hold a lot in common, but are stark opposites still.

We were coming up on a center of the ruins, where some old buildings still stood, despite the passage of time.

We passed through with little commotion. A small sounder of Bullfango had made this muddy zone their stomping ground. We snuck around the perimeter and used our wirebugs to ascend to higher ground.

Looking back to the ruins, I caught a crimson glimmer in the shade of the bamboo trees ... It took me a moment to catch sight of it, but a Nargacuga was primed to strike at the Bullfango. It probably saw us and held its position until we left. Moments like these happen all the time ... And yet, they always amaze me. It speaks to the intelligence that these animals do have, no matter how simple.

A second camp was nearby and the sun was starting to set. We had spent a lot of time simply exploring. Junji had made some quick detours to gather essentials. We'd continue our survey tomorrow, after we rest up.

My arms and legs hurt from even the little bit of climbing we did.

Day 8 of Yukomo-Kamura Region Expedition

I woke early this morning- Very early. The sun had yet to even start rising. The moon was glowing overhead.

Why did I wake? I heard something. Junji brushed it off as bamboo falling. It couldn't of been ... Bamboo snapping and crashing down does not sound like, that.

I geared up and went out. I had to be sure.

I headed further north, into the stony cliff range. My heart skipped a beat, I almost dropped the camera.

Silver Rathalos. A rare subspecies of the Rath family.

It was simply resting. The mountainous north was it's territory, no doubt about it. Silver Rathalos are very dangerous, seldom seen. It was even rarer for one to be in an active hunting ground. Either it was sheer chance that it had made this place its home, or ... It was displaced? I hope it's the first.

That sound. It rang out again. Outside of the campsite tent, it was a little clearer. A loud 'bang'. I could feel the sound itself wash over me.

So did the Silver Rathalos. He immediately became alert.

It felt familiar.

My eye was focused purely on the Silver Rathalos, making sure it didn't notice me. But, a loud crash echoed through the valley to the south. I hid and quickly moved from the zone.

I rendezvoused with Junji. He had heard the second noise and was already in his armor. I told him of the Silver Rathalos and clarified that the Flying Wyvern was not our suspect.

We headed downstream, following the waterfalls to where the sound was. It was quiet ... Gargwa were hiding, Izuchi scurrying to safety.

I hope I'm wrong about this hunch.

We approached gingerly.

I used the camera to help pierce the darkness.

Foliage in the way. We were taking a risk to reposition and confirm what this was. I knew what it was ... But I was hoping ...

Camera at the ready.

...

I wish I was wrong.

...

Valstrax. Elder Dragon. Rare. Far more rare than even other Elder Dragons. It's infamous for it's method of travel- Using sustained dragon energy to propel itself through the sky at blinding speeds.

They typically live in high altitude mountain ranges, only dipping to the world below to catch prey before whisking them away to their skyward dens.

A Valstrax is dangerous. A Valstrax is cause for alarm.

A Valstrax active at low altitude, is unheard of. It's distressing.

It's body was familiar, yes ... But. It was warped. Smoother. Sleeker. Like someone had gone over it with sandpaper and buffed it out.

And on its body ... Blood red sores, raw dragon energy seeping out from between its tempered scales.

Something is wrong with this individual. It was erratic, anxious, twitchy.

We're returning to Kamura post-haste. I've written this day up as record, just in case ...

The village needs to be on high alert, the Guild need to be informed.

And the Soaratorium needs to be deployed.

friend and i are picking at starting up a monhun world rp, so i'm trying to more intentionally figure out marco's hunter design. here's a wip. :)

[anaptian-champion]

//I also have RPC blogs, and Omori and a Monster Hunter one, though this pokeblog is just a casual blog which I wanna make do rp bases story lines with. Though I might turn it into a RPC blog if I can't find rpers in this community

// oooh a monhun blog! :3 i have one too haha

// i dont think you'll have to worry about not finding other ppl in the pokemon irl rp community, its pretty active from what ive seen

Leo has me on fieldwork again, despite everything. I'm glad to be out of the house.

We've been tracking some interesting leads and following a few species that aren't present in other regions. The great news is that we're making steady progress in helping to understand how everything fits into the ecosystems within Kamura and Elgado; there's a lot of convergent evolution between species here within the Old World and the New World, as well as some species that we thought were only endemic to the New World being native to Kamura (such as Jagras, though… it should be noted that the variants here seem to lack a definitive leader or "alpha", as it were). We've also not had too many cases to rehabilitate and release, but there are a few that we could write about because their circumstances are/were so unique.

The good news? We're also making strides in understanding how a number of elder dragons, despite the Guild's concerns, might actually be fitting in here, even if they're increasingly uncommon. There are a few… outliers… but we have a number of reports that we'll be posting in due time once we finalize them.

The bad news is that we've had some worrying reports of folks anthropomorphizing monsters in such a way that it's putting monsters themselves in danger. We've talked about it at length before, but… here in Kamura, where mythology and fairy tails seem to be running rampant, it's much more of a prevalent issue than it was in the other villages we've worked in. The worst news is that I haven't gotten better. The opposite's true, in fact. I haven't been drinking as much and Leo's had a sharp eye on me since last we updated, so I haven't been able to test further theories on drinking elder dragon blood to mitigate the effects of this… affliction? I guess you'd call it? I don't know. Whatever the case, I feel like garbage most of the time, constant aches and chills, like a cold that just won't leave. Fighting helps, keeps blood flowing, and I can ignore my problems for a while when I'm let loose on a hunt. I've even picked up dual blades again, which… I haven't used these in years. Just your standard motorized steel, nothing fancy, gets the job done.

Under Leo's tutelage, I've learned a few new tricks. Maybe soon we'll be back on bigger jobs again. I'm eager to put these new moves to the test.

5 most formative fandoms lmao

oh boy lmao HERE WE GO in no particular order:

the x-files - this is probably the first time i actually engaged with a fandom, like person to person. this was back in the AOL days and there was a set of message boards dedicated to it that had seen a resurgence of popularity with the release of the first movie, myself included. and there i found... a shocking number of people like me! younger girls (12-14ish) with Lots Of Ideas and Feelings about things, in retrospect probably annoying the fuck out of the older folks on the boards-- though they always treated us kindly. it was a really nice, really eye-opening, really fun endeavor.

ffvii - this is where i started getting really heavily into both rp and fanfic writing. i was *so upset* by aerith's death that i couldn't stand it, and wrote her out of it over and over again-- it was catharsis for me, and sharing that with others who felt the same was incredibly validating.

glee - the first time i started seeing exactly how ugly fandom could get lol. i'd been in dramatic fandoms, dgmw, but glee was on another fuckin level. the absolute vitriol. the genesis of the anti. shipping as activism. absolute nightmare that i never wish to revisit lol. HOWEVER IT DID GET US YOU, SO THERE'S THAT <333

ffxv - i'm about to be really gay but you have to understand that my wife and i kind of rarely align on ships and headcanons when it comes to fandom (which is fine, obvs!), but noctpro was (and still is) something we feel so strongly about, in such similar manners, and my god if i love doing fandom stuff i love love love *love* doing fandom stuff with my wife. it also gave us @sigmundite and @hayyot, for which i will always be thankful. <3

monster hunter - indirectly, this game is responsible for me having an awesome job and a solid tribe of coworkers/friends lol. i complain sometimes, but i know how good i've got it, and i wouldn't have it if i hadn't chatted up a random employee about monhun and then started going to meetups with the right folks. weird how stuff works out sometimes.

For my first announcement here I'll briefly go over what I define a wyvern as.

Wyverns are a wide and diverse group of monsters that can be found in nearly every ecosystem and can be observed filling many ecological niches.

They're defined as creatures that have distinct chimeric features (features from different types of animals). Most commonly lizard characteristics mixed with something else.

These chimeric traits range from being warm blooded (most all wyverns are) to having traits very similar to another group of animals (such as bird wyverns with birds)

This intense diversity has allowed wyverns to become the dominant group of monsters in the world.

I'll be going over each individual type of wyvern in future announcements.

Tiberius Sharp, signing off.

hmm. i am once again contemplating trying tumblr rp again.....

#mar.txt #on one hand. i'm apprehensive because of the sheer level of damage the mk verse did to me. but on the other hand the monhun and rain world #verses look a lot. nicer? #and like. god im so so so fucking tired of twitter being my main rp platform. nobody takes my muses seriously and when i voice that its #apparently just easier to ignore them than take them seriously people are weird about me preferring to write my monster muses As Actual #Monsters people are so fucking weird about my female muses (specifically vul) i am just So Tired Of It #and like. its been YEARS since i was on tumblr rp. i think id have better fortitude for it to not utterly wreck me like it did when i #was ~15 or 16 or so and doing it #so. mmnh. maybe. im gonna have to sit on it to think about it. if i do ill just make a multimuse blog so i don't need to keep track of a #bazillion blogs/sideblogs at the same time #i'm definitely a pretty good deal of apprehensive but? the monster hunter rp verse looks nice enough and the rain world rp verse seems #pretty welcoming and nice so. mmm.maybe. we'll see
