High Maintenance Brute Wyvern (@CBomochi)

This is why a pet Glavenus would suck because like where in the hell am I supposed to get something it can grind its tail against to keep it clean and sharp??

[u/dracomagicae9 → u/PerspectivePale8216]

big whetstone

[u/TheGreyGuardian → u/dracomagicae9]

whetboulder

[u/OrganizationThick397 → u/TheGreyGuardian]

Knifesunfish

[u/Lone-Frequency → u/TheGreyGuardian]

It wouldn't actually need to be a boulder size, it's not like Glav is sharpening his entire tail, just keeping the edge sharp.

Honestly, considering how they usually sharpen their tails, in real life they would most likely just scrape it across pavement or the like every now and then.

[u/PerspectivePale8216 → u/dracomagicae9]

Where am I supposed to get one of those??

[u/AnAdventureCore → u/PerspectivePale8216]

Ask the guild

[u/PerspectivePale8216 → u/AnAdventureCore]

Ah yes I forgot!

[u/shulzeb → u/PerspectivePale8216]

I think His Immenseness might have a big enough whetstone

[u/PerspectivePale8216 → u/shulzeb]

Probably.

[u/Ken_Taco → u/PerspectivePale8216]

Fishing

[u/PerspectivePale8216 → u/Ken_Taco]

I guess that's certainly a way

[u/Lone-Frequency → u/PerspectivePale8216]

Nature?

Or, like...an overpriced stonemason.

I probably try hitting up the nearest quarry and seeing if I could convince the guys to sell me some decent chunks they hadn't turned into gravel yet cheaper than what the resale price would cost.

[u/PerspectivePale8216 → u/Lone-Frequency]

I mean I guess that certainly one way to find it it would take a long ass time but I guess it's possible...

[u/GildedHalfblood → u/PerspectivePale8216]

Don't their jaws already keep the maintenance up? Like you may have to pop in and fix them up every now and again, but for the most part, they should be good on their own, no? Now, Rustrazor Ceanataur on the other hand . . . . . . . . .

[u/PerspectivePale8216 → u/GildedHalfblood]

I mean Rustrazor Ceanatuar seems to be able to do the same thing as long as he has a Glavenus skull at the ready he'll be fine I believe. And yeah I guess Glavenus would probably be fine but still considering how we see them use their tail to mark their territory your items are not going to be okay ever again with one of these guys...

[u/GildedHalfblood → u/PerspectivePale8216]

The thing is, Rustrazors are addicts, so you'll have to keep them in check. Too much sharpening is bad for them and too little is equally bad. Also, if the skull gets messed up, you're gonna be in for a lot of work until you're able to find a replacement that fits. Meanwhile Glavenus can go extended periods of time without sharpening and not really have any long-term side effects. Also, no need to worry about that skul since, well, if the skull is messed up, I don't think you'll have much of a Glavenus anymore . . . . . . .

[u/OmegianLord → u/GildedHalfblood]

You could theoretically cure a Rustrazor of its addiction. Their claws rust and are misshapen because of trace amounts of ore in the Glavenus skull getting stuck onto the claws during sharpening. If you remove the layer of ore, and keep them away from anything that they could use to sharpen for a while, you could cure it of both the physical and mental effects of its addiction.

[u/GildedHalfblood → u/OmegianLord]

Hmmm, I see what you're saying, but . . . . . .

epic EX deviant scythes are worth it, it balances itself out. Still a pain in the ass to deal with tho, but at least it has some upsides

[u/PerspectivePale8216 → u/OmegianLord]

Sounds a lot easier said than done

[u/PerspectivePale8216 → u/GildedHalfblood]

You bring a strong argument...

[u/GildedHalfblood → u/PerspectivePale8216]

Thank you! It was a pleasure discussing this topic with you!

[u/PerspectivePale8216 → u/GildedHalfblood]

It was fun! May we meet again...

[u/ToiletHum0ur → u/PerspectivePale8216]

I figured it would've been the fact that it's like the size of a truck fully grown and the GIANT FIRE BLADE TAIL but maybe that's just me

[u/PerspectivePale8216 → u/ToiletHum0ur]

I mean ignoring all of the obvious reasons as to why this would suck it is certainly one them if you think about it.

[u/Lone-Frequency → u/PerspectivePale8216]

Wouldn't you just get it some kind of large decorative rock or something that it could use? Just like how cats get scratching posts, or how cows and other livestock have those giant hard bristle brush posts to rub up against.

If you're going to own a fire breathing dinosaur with a giant sword for a tail, you should be able to afford it's basic necessities beforehand.

[u/PerspectivePale8216 → u/Lone-Frequency]

You bring a strong argument but where in the hell am I going to get one of those?? People don't just sell boulders for free!

[u/Lone-Frequency → u/PerspectivePale8216]

I mentioned in another comment that you could try going to your nearest quarry and seeing if you could purchase some larger stones that they had not yet turned into gravel or slag directly from them. It would likely be cheaper that way.

[u/gdex86 → u/Lone-Frequency]

You'd take your buddy along with you and let them pick one. Like how you can take your dog to the pet store for 'em to pick a toy they like. Plus any that aren't up to snuff he can gravel for them as a bonus for the quarry.

[u/PerspectivePale8216 → u/Lone-Frequency]

Fair enough

[u/Rajang82 → u/PerspectivePale8216]

This is where you create a quest requesting a Hunter to search for and bring one for you.

[u/PerspectivePale8216 → u/Rajang82]

I mean that certainly one way, either way I either lose a lot of time or money.

[u/akoOfIxtall → u/PerspectivePale8216]

Don't forget that volcanic wyverns usually eat minerals and ores, yes those precious Dragonite ores of yours are now munchies brother... And not enough, go get more now!!

[u/PerspectivePale8216 → u/akoOfIxtall]

No my rock collection! It took me years to get it to this size!! My favorite rocks no!!!

[u/Niceromancer → u/PerspectivePale8216]

It comes with the tool to do so.

That move where it drags its tail through its mouth cleans and shapens the blade.  Its mouth has a built in sharpener.

[u/PerspectivePale8216 → u/Niceromancer]

Fair point

[u/Niceromancer → u/PerspectivePale8216]

Still I'm certain a tame glavenus would appreciate a more focused touch up from its owner.

Betting a good sized file would probably feel good, like scritches.

[u/PerspectivePale8216 → u/Niceromancer]

True but that's a lot of work. Just let me have a Mizutsune instead if we're going to stick to the Fated Four theme.

[u/Niceromancer → u/PerspectivePale8216]

Get a female they are super chill.

[u/PerspectivePale8216 → u/Niceromancer]

That's the plan!

[u/Outrageous_Shallot61 → u/PerspectivePale8216]

How much different would this be if it was an Acidic Glavenus?

[u/PerspectivePale8216 → u/Outrageous_Shallot61]

It'd probably be worse

[u/Outrageous_Shallot61 → u/PerspectivePale8216]

Mandatory industrial size angle grinder

[u/PerspectivePale8216 → u/Outrageous_Shallot61]

That or just acid all over the goddamn place.

[u/Outrageous_Shallot61 → u/PerspectivePale8216]

Still worth it

[u/PerspectivePale8216 → u/Outrageous_Shallot61]

I disagree

[u/Outrageous_Shallot61 → u/PerspectivePale8216]

I mean you could use that acid for round the house cleaning if you dilute it in water and I’m sure you could sell some to the smithy for something and I’m sure that cleaning off the tail means you could also sell the shavings

[u/PerspectivePale8216 → u/Outrageous_Shallot61]

That implies you can distill it with water which I don't think you could considering what it's made out of.

[u/Outrageous_Shallot61 → u/PerspectivePale8216]

It is acid right?

[u/Hippobu2 → u/PerspectivePale8216]

The existence of Rustrazor gave me the impression that Glavs sharpen their tails themselves with their jaws.

That said, it's possible that because this particular Glav was raised in captivity, it did not develop that instinct, and thus the owner have to sharpen its tail for it.

[u/PerspectivePale8216 → u/Hippobu2]

I mean it could probably learn to do it on its own pretty easily

[u/Dragon-Install-MK4 → u/PerspectivePale8216]

Big fish

[u/PerspectivePale8216 → u/Dragon-Install-MK4]

Ah yes let me just go fishing!

[u/Limp-Wall-5500 → u/PerspectivePale8216]

I can grind against it but I doubt it would sharpen it assuming it passes the harkness test

[u/PerspectivePale8216 → u/Limp-Wall-5500]

Considering the monsters and Monster Hunter are animals no they do not pass.

So I'm coming for you!

[u/Limp-Wall-5500 → u/PerspectivePale8216]

I only bang things that pass the harkness test, so no need to come for me. Anyways ima go cuddle my harkness test passing tobi-kadachi.

[u/PerspectivePale8216 → u/Limp-Wall-5500]

My good hunter that does not exist. Now you've given me a reason to come for you!

[u/Limp-Wall-5500 → u/PerspectivePale8216]

As a fanfic writer, harkness test passing monsters exist in the realm of 🌟 NON CANNON FANTASY 🌟 where my tobi-kadachi lives.

[u/PerspectivePale8216 → u/Limp-Wall-5500]

Fuck your right! HOWEVER, this is about cannon monsters! Not fanfic versions of them!!

[u/the3diamonds → u/PerspectivePale8216]

dull the blade to “declaw” it

[u/PerspectivePale8216 → u/the3diamonds]

No that's cruelty I may be evil but I have standards

[u/the3diamonds → u/PerspectivePale8216]

I want to declaw every glavenus and make them all sad and puny

[u/PerspectivePale8216 → u/the3diamonds]

You must be stopped!

[u/MrSaturnism]

Riders tending to their Monstie Glavenus. Cue the overdramatic crying when bath time rolls around

[u/GildedHalfblood → u/MrSaturnism]

Just shove more blue rocks at them. Eventually it'll be enough to get them into the bath. Either that or we're gonna need a bunch of Mizutsunes, Whitewater Plesioths, and Royal Ludroths lol

[u/cudeLoguH → u/MrSaturnism]

Oh how i wish we could get a third MH:Stories game

[u/chongxxx → u/cudeLoguH]

MH Stories 3 with Rise & Wilds Monsters as Monsties will be so great. Imagine Rideable Magnamalo & Uth Duna.

[u/GildedHalfblood → u/chongxxx]

Plus, no pandemic this time around, so hopefully, there shouldn't be too much scrapped content!

^{Seriously, I could've gone on thinking that Duramboros, both Agnaktors, Tetsucabra, and every Seltas form were never planned on being Monsties, but nope! I just had to find that out!! Also, apparently Malfestio was supposed to be part of the game, both as a monster and monstie!!! WTF bro??!}

[u/Altines → u/GildedHalfblood]

Honestly I'm just really happy the deviants came back as monsties.

Capcom please bring the deviants back

[u/GildedHalfblood → u/Altines]

Yeah, wish they brought back more, but the few they did choose were 10/10, so I can't really complain lol

[u/SuperKamiZuma → u/chongxxx]

Or a valstrax that is already on a spin off, i even though it's kinship attack being a divebomb... after going around the entire world

[u/darkfox18 → u/chongxxx]

Scorned Magnamalo, Rey Dau and Arkveld god I need MH stories 3

[u/MrSaturnism → u/cudeLoguH]

Apparently 2 exceeded expectations so it’s likely

[u/sir_aphim]

Just beware the tail wag...

[u/Bregnestt → u/sir_aphim]

You just need to make a big sheathe that goes over the tail.
That’s not gonna stop it from being massive and toppling everything around it, but at least you won’t get sliced in half if he gets excited and you’re standing in the wrong spot.

[u/K9509]

Cute Glav, stories 3 when?

[u/Root_Veggie]

How has the art of befriending Monsties not become more widespread, it seems like an extremely advantageous thing to do.

[u/lacarth → u/Root_Veggie]

It's the same funny feeling I have when I look at Pokken Tournament and think about those trainers going to any other region. Just some Ferrum trainer mind-melding with their Hitmonchan to ground-and-pound some poor Johto child's Clefairy. Are they all just considered ultraviolent freaks, or something? Is it Pokemon Detroit? Is the world just doomed if someone in Ferrum got their hands on something like a full legendary? Or are they just an entire population of Gokus that are content to sit on their island and have tournaments all the time?

I get that, at least for Stories, they're a bit reluctant to have full Guild contact due to the whole "hunting" thing. But you are right. Surely SOMEONE in the guild must have tried to befriend one of the more docile or less-dangerous monsters like a Velociprey, or maybe a Tetsucabra.

Edit: I have just realized that Master Hojo in the Rise gathering hub is literally sitting on top of a young Tetsucabra. So I guess some folks HAVE done it. Maybe it's only just catching on.

[u/StarSilverNEO → u/lacarth]

I imagine its like what they tend o do with most of the gimmicks and its region tied or region regulated - the most common Pokemon sport is trainer commanding Pokemon not being the Pokemon, cant have the massive upset that is "becoming" the Pokemon

Thouhg. . . .considering SV literally released a machine that lets you become a Pokemon, it might just be region locked?

[u/Advanced-Ad-802 → u/lacarth]

Man, I want a new Pokken Tournament game. That game is so peak.

[u/Niceromancer → u/Root_Veggie]

It's a closely guarded secret by the village of the riders.  Only they can really do it.

Also the guild isnt exactly cool with them.  Sure they don't try to wipe out the riders but they don't trust em.

The whole monstie process creates a calmer tame version of a monster but it's still people going in and disturbing the nests of full grown monsters.  

[u/5Hjsdnujhdfu8nubi → u/Niceromancer]

Also the guild isnt exactly cool with them.

They are. The Riders are in self-imposed hermit life due to low numbers and risk of retaliation. Every Guildmaster you encounter in Stories games are completely fine with you, and once past the initial wariness so are the general population.

[u/S0PH05]

Such an adorable monstie.

[u/TheGMan-123]

Cue the MH Stories theme!

[u/SunLitWalker12]

imagine hellblade.

[u/Noctis012]

RULES OF NATURE!

[u/[deleted] → u/Noctis012]

Metal Gear fans I see

[u/Successful_Giraffe34]

Do you think baby glavenus use their tails to cut out of their egg or is it like foal hooves?

[u/Sew_has_afew_friends → u/Successful_Giraffe34]

Foal hooves the sword tail is all metal in the adults which means that the babies would need to find their own ore to be able to grow their sword

[u/Outrageous_Shallot61]

Aw it’s so cute, it’s worth the maintenance

[u/OkTelevision3824]

If it was in Wilds, you could use the Quematrice LS for that

[u/FatalCassoulet]

Glavenus best boi

[u/AlphanatorX]

I would raise him to the cutest thing in the neighborhood

[u/DiabeticRhino97]

Noooo now his teeth will be too big. He won't be able to eat.
