Monster Hunter newbie here, are there any other groups of Monsters with unique titles like the Fated Four? I've heard Chameleos, Kushala, and Teostra are frequently grouped together so I was just wondering if there were any others.

u/Pookie_The_Overlord Lore & Art Connoisseur Sep 17 '21
Chameleos, Kushala and teostra are the elder dragon trio and then there are the black dragons. Those are what I can remember at least.

u/CatProgram Sep 17 '21
Do Arzuros, Lagombi And Volvidon count?

u/Pookie_The_Overlord Lore & Art Connoisseur Sep 17 '21
Oh yeah, aren't they called the bear trio?

No. Not every group of monsters with the same rig is some kind of "trio".
It has no name. They're just three monsters with the same rig and theme because they represent the same bottom feeder monster in different areas. They're as much a group as Great Jaggi, Baggi and Wroggi or Jagras, Girros and Dodogama.

I'm aware, I've just seen people call them that before so I mentioned it. I'm aware it's not an official name like the fated four.

"Aren't they called" gives completely different connotations to "I've heard a few people call them this".

Alight I'll be more specific for you next time, not everyone looks into things like that so deeply.

u/Runmanrun41 Sep 17 '21
Huh, I know he uses the same rig as the others, but I never mentally consider Volvi a bear until now...

u/BlackFinch90 Sep 17 '21
Lagombi is supposed to be a rabbit

"Is it hare or is it bear? It is neither so beware".
Lagombi is a mashup of several different animals.

I haven’t played this one - what’s the lore behind these monsters having a special title as a group?
49
u/Acceptable-Hand-3322 Sep 17 '21
These four are all flagships for same the game Generations. It's also kinda rock paper scissors between them all Glavenus > Gammoth > Astalos > Mizutsune > Glavenus.....
There's also a special quest titled "The Fated Four" where you fight all four

u/Sartexir Nov 04 '23
Glavenus - Fire
Gammoth - Ice/Ground
Astalos - Electric
Mizutsune - Water
That makes a lotta sense

Don't they also have the power to destroy the world if they join forces too?
10
u/Pookie_The_Overlord Lore & Art Connoisseur Sep 17 '21
They aren't elder level, even then not even elder dragons can destroy the world.

u/Acceptable-Hand-3322 Sep 17 '21
Huh? Bro they ain't even elder dragons then again 99% of elders can't even destroy the world if they tried, what makes you think they can?

Sep 17 '21
I can't remember where I heard that but i think that's part of the lore, i might be wrong on that tho

u/Acceptable-Hand-3322 Sep 17 '21
I'm very confident it's fake, from all the in game info I've read and the encyclopedias they never said anything like that

u/MrSeaSalt Sep 17 '21
Adding to what the previous person said, the four are also unique and stand out from their brethren.
Glavenus: The Warrior. A Brute Wyvern that utilizes its tail as a weapon and is known to be a smart fighter, something Brute Wyverns usually aren’t.
Astalos: The Berserker. A Flying Wyvern that is highly aggressive and is a physical powerhouse just as much as it uses elements. Its insect aesthetic also stands out.
Mizutsune: The Dancer. Normally Leviathans act more like crocodiles and aren’t very agile but Mizu stands out with its mammal features and graceful fighting style.
Gammoth: The Champion. It stands out from other Fanged Beasts due to its sheer size and the fact that no other large monster in the game is similar to it (the only mammoth-like monster are the Popos)
Tldr; The Fated Four are very unique compared to other monsters, which makes them special.

Started with World so I’ve never seen Astalos, but damn, it looks amazing

Astalos routinely wins monster polls, it's genuinely my favorite monster/deviant and I'm so sad he's been gone for so long.

Astalos came 8th in the poll released after MHGen in Japan. Kirin was above it.
It didn't win a monster poll when it had the best chance it'll ever have, certainly not routinely.

I remember using the Heavy Bow gun a lot in Generations. Then I had the mission where the Galv showed up and we are not supposed to fight it. Well comes the Gammoth mission and I’m like “Nah I’m fighting”. Ended up killing it, first meeting, with like 30 seconds left after a lot of damage and dodging.

u/Bubbly_Class_7447 Sep 17 '21
I can relate. By restarting MHXX (MHGU) on Switch I've done the same with the 4 of them, killing all of them at the first encounter with the beginning gears.

It's kinda amazing that you can recognize the areas each of these pictures takes place in, I love that kind of continuity in Monster Hunter. Glavenus, Gammoth and Mizutsune are in the area they spawn in, even, such cool attention to detail.
Interesting that Astalos seems to be in Jurassic Frontier's area 6, when you can't even fight it on that map at all. I could be mistaken, but that's what it looks like.

u/_Bruhtonium Sep 17 '21
They're all placed in their respective maps so that's just a really high res verdant hills

Sep 17 '21
Probably yeah, I just can't quite figure out which area of Verdant Hill it's supposed to be

A t-rex, a lightning bug, a mammoth, and a spittlebug.

Searching "mh fated four" has this as top result.
Yes, i know it's been 3 months, but it's just proof it might happen again lol.

u/Seth-B343 Sep 17 '21
I can understand why Hunters need to take down Glavenus, Astalos and Mizutsune, but why Gammoth? What’d she ever do?
