History Fridge / MonsterHunter

* After you've beaten the Rusted Kushala Daora in 4 Ultimate you're treated to a humorous video showing the ultimate fate of the opening CGI hunting parties. They failed spectacularly, and even though this seems like a funny reminder of what can easily happen in unstable environments it really dawns on you that both parties really grabbed the Idiot Ball when it comes to hunting. Neither group was geared to fight the things they were going up against, the Diablos especially seeing how they've been relegated to a G-Rank only monster. The hunters taking it on were clearly decked out in High Rank armor at best and, aside from the archer in Rath Heart gunner gear, were all in smaller monster's armor. They were doomed to failure from the start. And then the Seregios shows up...

* The Guildmarm in 4U calls you 'doodle' because she's constantly scribbling and drawing monsters!

* The Frenzy Virus by itself doesn't seem to do anything to you, aside from stopping your health regeneration. How do you recover, and get some offensive boosts that come with the recovery? AttackAttackAttack Think about it: Those two incentives encourage you to attack anything that moves, and ''that'' in itself is the infection-induced hunger for monster blood.

* ''Tri'' and ''3 Ultimate'' are the only two games where you can travel underwater. They are also the two games where you get Shakalakas as companions rather than Felynes...because CatsHateWater.

* In ''Tri'' and ''3 Ultimate'', rather than having Felyne partners, you instead get Shakalakas. These are the only two games with underwater combat. Simply put, you get Shakalakas instead of Felynes because CatsHateWater!

* The "minions" keep on attacking the hunter even when s/he is fighting their natural predators (aka the "boss" monsters). Well, think about it, what's the most dangerous enemy there? Their natural predator, or the superpredator who regularly massacres everything on a map, skins their corpses, and uses the body parts to make him/herself even more dangerous. If they help the "boss" kill you, then the "boss" will likely go back to preying on them, but at its own pace. If you kill the "boss", you're quite likely to go on and kill the rest of them to make hats. Then come back to do the same thing over and over again. Long story short, Hunters are dangerous.

* Why are there no Rusted Kushala Daora materials? Simple, the hunters carve off the body parts and then scrape off the rust. After all, who wants a weapon that's naturally rusty?

* You pay money in order to take up quests--or jobs, if you will. You ''pay to work.''
** It's not that bad. It's likely what you pay is given as a traveling fee, and you get paid much more for the work you do than you give up.
** You get the fee refunded to you x2 if you complete the quest in addition to the quest reward anyway so not only do you get the fee back, you get a bonus equal to the fee ontop of it. So you only lose the money if you fail the quest. (Abandoning the quest may also cause you to lose the cash, but I havent confirmed that yet)
*** Confirmed in Monster Hunter Tri Ultimate. When you talk to her, the Guild Sweetheart will either give you advice or just gossip. Among her gossip is the tidbit of information that says the job fee pays for transport and the Felynes who rescue you should you faint.
**** Might just be the transport--after all, fainting causes you to lose a full ''third'' of your salary. Alternately, government isn't really mentioned that much in MH, but maybe the quest fee is like income tax? Or a membership fee for the Guild?

** That lava covers a good portion of its body. It's possible that without repeated reheating, the lava will solidify so much that it restricts the Agnaktor's movement.

* Given its brethren, you'd think the Great Wroggi is weak to Fire, bu no - it's weak to Water and Ice instead. This doesn't make sense until you realize that ice attacks chill the poison into a solid or gelatinous mass, which makes it harder to spray as a fine mist, and water dilutes the poison and weakens it.

* Many forumites have wondered why the Agnaktor doesn't simply move to the areas of the Vocano hunting grounds with no lava, allowing its armor to harden and prevent being a TacticalSuicideBoss. The reason? Simple: Other monsters can survive contact with magma. But the Agnaktor? It ''lives'' in it. Odds are, it probably can't risk cooling down that much for that long, or its body simply won't function properly.

* Normally, when you play a game with ElementalRockPaperScissors, fire is trumped by water. Here, water is weak to fire. At first, someone might find this unusual. But think about it. What does water do in the presence of intense heat? It evaporates. Why do aquatic animals avoid those same temperatures? Because it makes the water in their bodies evaporate. When you use fire attacks, you deprive the monster of the moisture it needs to survive.

* While in the city in online mode in Tri, you can't type any messages while eating to obtain food boosts. You can't talk while eating, because that's bad manners!
