Oh i am glad you are willing to talk about monHun biology. Monster hunter stories is peculiar because due to mechanic even mammalian monster come out of the eggs, but its a good way to approach the series and get a good look at the creatures.

I am sure you have been informed of several dangerous insectivores and herbivores in this game, but did you there are also many who eat minerals? Uragaan is one of them and its dentature does look freaky when seen up close, but make lots of sense for the diet it has.

Although i am puzzled at how it can eat in the first place. Chin.

Other mineral eaters are Gravios and its juvenile form Basarios (but stories? Puts them as different monsters? So you can get a gravious straight from an egg?) But they don't seem to posses any peculiar dentature for it.

aren't there also egg-stealing quests in the main games though? do they actually restrict those to the ones that would more sensibly come from eggs??? at any rate eggs are whatever to me just 'cause that's like, the goto handwavey thing for games and stuff to do to be simple and Not Weird about reproduction. pokemon does it, flightrising does it, etc. it's not a Design Thing they put much thought or emphasis on yknow

i have not actually been informed of much! even so i would not mind being informed again lol. but yeah i heard there's geovorous[?] guys, dodogama apparently too. good for him. uruugan's teeth are hmmmm. flatt... i think there's like some kind of irl whale or ray that has Plates sorta like that but i don't remember right off. i didn't know that about gravios/basiros in stories though that's funky. i guess it falls under the same thing as getting the -drome guys direct from eggs too?? even without main-series knowledge i'm realizing stories is making a lot of.....odd choices with some stuff. anyways i'm willing to pass them off as a thing of like, they're already so huge and heavy and hard that the jaw doesn't need much additional reinforcement; its teeth looks pretty sturdily Set in there. or maybe they could just bash the rocks up with their tails idk.

I'M curious what dalamadur eats, and the wiki doesn't seem to say anythng about it. it's definitely, like A Snake, but there's no way anything that huge can reliably sustain on meat. i want 2 believe in my heart that it's a big funny worm that eats sand and shit as it burrows around, but those thin fangs would snap right off if it tried to do anything with rocks [neither are they much use for if it ate plants :pensive:]

#fun facto i almost based sarah on urugaan until i decided to just scrap her rollout gimmick entierly #monster hunter #the other post got a surprisngly nonzero amount of notes from the tag so this is going there too #come on over besties we r talking about. beasts
