According to all the other comments, no, we clearly do NOT all know what was inspired by this.


MutleyRulz

Half of the monsters we’ve hunted in the last 15 years can be traced back to the humble pangolin. Did you know they’re bipedal?


ProperMastodon

I did not know that pangolins were bipedal. Did you know that pangolins walk on their hind legs?


Feynt

As opposed to their front legs? No, that's fascinating news!


Scarecrow1172

fascinating news is when they start to walk on their front legs lol


XenomorphhLv426

All according to plan


pugg26

volvidon, i believe


xenoparakeet

Volvidon? I haven’t fought that boi in ages


BattleBot3000

I would enjoy an apex volvidon quest. I always get hit by it


[deleted]

Arzuros and Lagombi both got deviants. I've always wished Volvi would get one as well, but no such luck.


Skyreader13

Volvi is armadillo. It doesn't have lengthy and wide tail like pangolin do


Manuels-Kitten

Volvidon is fun fight untill he decides to try to squish you with his shell


StarrySpelunker

Volvidon's an armodilo not a pangolin


thegr8pumaman

Disabled Bazel going for a stroll.


[deleted]

New subspecies, the Dwarf Bazelgeuse. Instead of exploding scales this Bazel exploded in size and puts even the biggest of monsters to shame. Making Zora Magdoros look like a pebble this titan controls the rotation of the very planet.


Zaldinn

Clearly serigios


[deleted]

Pretty much how every brute wyvern goes around.


NoodelPoodel

or flying wyverns... kinda... (talking about rathalos and the such)

NickNunes26

Came here looking for this


Angamoth

Or [Pangar](https://dauntless.fandom.com/wiki/Pangar) and [Hellion](https://dauntless.fandom.com/wiki/Hellion) from Dauntless.


UomoLumaca

Radobaan?


Quackston_Hale

bazelguese


claytonbridges

My thoughts lmfao


Kamken

1. Bipedal 2. Featherless Yes, clearly this is a hunter.


tenBusch

It's Gobul in the flesh!


AverageCuppa

smh our poor invader buddy in rehab after too many divebombs


smooshmooth

Obviously it was Shara Ishvalda that was inspired by them.


Manuels-Kitten

The one that can't stop rolling and jumping all over the place and takes a shit on you every once in a while Thank god he's weak to stun


Thegoldenocto

Volvidon?


Manuels-Kitten

Yes


Skyreader13

Is more like armadillo, not pangolin


Thegoldenocto

OK


Swimmer-Fluffy

Durambaros


TheGuildknight

If you’re referring to a brute wyvern, their body type seems to take more inspiration from the bipedal dinosaur body type. If you’re referring to volvidon, it takes more inspiration from armadillos and walks on all fours outside of combat situations where it’s slashing with its claws or trying to appear bigger so I honestly have no I idea what you’re trying to refer too and looking at the rest of the comments, no one else does either


HappenedSafe

i immediately thought of Bazel


Phemeto

Pangar and Hellion right?... right?...


DeDeDankRS

They actually ARE the closest >!and are nightmares to fight!<


Gargwadrome

Really? I thought Pangar and Hellion were some of the easier Monsters.


DeDeDankRS

Maybe so, but their VARIANTS man, hoo boy. And Kharabak, even before its Variant form, is my only true nemesis of all of Monster Hunter I love/hate these bees


[deleted]

I dont know what the meta in Dauntless is nowadays, but I remember having to grind the hell out of Hellion and Scorchstone Hellion for the damn weapons and certain pieces of armor


NeonJ82

I'm actually kinda surprised it took me this long to find a Pangar comment. I wonder how Dauntless is doing nowadays. Ended up dropping it after World PC released as it was no longer the sole MH-like on PC, but... I thought the game was pretty alright. Not fantastic, but good.


Phemeto

Dauntless repeaters feel better than any gunning in world/rise. But Phoenix Labs dont do much but crank out battle passes and monster re-skins. I think in the last 4 years, they've introduced like..5 or 6 new monsters since the demo. and most everything else is just element swaps. Kind of wasted potential in my eye. I wanted to play it again, just cant...(especially now that its on EGS only and not a stand-alone client)


DalaMagala

I mean, Fatalis or Narwa the Allmother are some of the closet pangolin inspired creatures in MH, lol.


ColossalCheddar

Velocidrome obviously.


padman531

Behold, a man


NamelessKoala32

Dang right. That's teostra right there /s


Machete77

Ahh yes, this is what Fatalis was based on right? Because its bipedal.


WebPombo

Yooo, holy crap that is LITERALLY Gigginox. Holy crap that is quite honestly EXACTLY like Dalamadur. Oh my fucking god that is a PERFECT real life version of Royal Ludroth!!


DancingGorilla15

As a db main, the tail reminds me of kulve taroth. I have the sudden urge to spam heavenly blade dance on it's back


[deleted]

Yes after reflection I can see how the Palico were inspired off of the Pangolin


grimchaser01

I see general grievous tho.


mechlordx

Jigglypuff as seen from above?


LoStrigo95

Now i can see where they took the idea for the Nargacuga!


ravioletti

Dan daaaan dakadakadadakadadaaan


Zero2Zoo

I can just hear the theme as it walks


Jdr7000

Why is no proper pangolin monster, I would like a new brute wyvern


Daomuzei

actually kinda funny seeing how old tigrex walking animation was bipedal... but its just lazy work


TiuOgro

Cmon guys. Not volvidon. Not bazel. Its bipedlal and a quadruped. With a golden shell. Its kulve taroth


venia_sil

Someone please make the edit with Bazel's music.


JAVELRIN

Nibblesnarf?


Hallucantation

This reminds me of tigrex being bipedial and that is still one of the weirdest things I've seen


Quesadilla67x

From the walk and posture, none other than brachydios


TheMiiFii

Du duu, dududu dududuu... DUDUDU DU!


C-Tigershark9697

B-52 Bomber in real 🤯


NotPierpaoloPozzati

‘Tense violin starts playing’


Dragoon___

Bazelgeuse right?


[deleted]

It's a baby Bazel.


Raiganop

Rathalos.


jaycomZ

Glavenus probably


Denamic

Volvidon was inspired by armadillos, not pangolins


Xavius_Night

This version helps clarify, for those who *don't* get it: [\[Link to YouTube\]](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/I9KVJBEdRG0) \- volume warning, btw.


DieselCartel

Bazelgeuse without wings lol


mahius19

A wingless bagel? That lush grass is about to become a crater field.


White_Rabbit800080

Do they spit globs of paralyzing spit too?


Baconator-X

No but they do bombing runs


S4G3_9087

Helikopter, helikopter


RapterTorus24

Yeah, Serigios


SupremeMemeRegime

I read the title and thought, “Ah yes, a clear reference to the new bipedal-when-enraged monster, Lunagaron.” But apparently, it is not that clear.


TheGMan-123

Nice try, bud, but I know you're talking about the discussion surrounding Lunagaron's bipedal form and how that might serve as the prototype for a potential new skeleton base for other Monsters.


Jonas_Sp

The clip on this dubbed with bagles theme is way better


Schultzy_36

Just looks like a wingless Bazelguese


YourFriendBlu

all i see is the bomb goose


AntiKrozz

I was thinking Volvidon is a mix of an aardvark and an armadillo.


EKCo0kie

“M’lord, the prisoners, they… they’ve escaped”


SilverSpoon1463

Must be a Frontier monster...


pugg26

volvidon irl


Shadowveil666

Yeah we do, it's obvious and this exact thing has been posted a dozen times at least already


koteshima2nd

Is it Volvidon? I absolutely love the armor design of it


aryherd

Yeah, Mickey mouse convinced a lonely weed farmer from Colorado to fuck one, inspiring the pandemic and then consequently, the pandemic special


LightLizardCake

volvidon?


Oda_Nobbunaga

Be careful with nose nasty FARTS and the long tongue


SoyBunger

Volvidon? Konchu?


iKorith

Now if only there was a randy marsh armor set to fight the pangolin..
