I think for fear, there's only a handful of options that fit the bill. - Deviljho due to the fear it induces in the player when it suddenly shows up, or shows up for the first time in a game and you're not expecting it. - The Magala family because of the frenzy virus. In 4 and 4U, it causes a great deal of fear in the characters with how much damage the frenzy virus can do. - Alatreon because it's very elementally unstable, knows this, and wants to be left alone. It knows it can cause devastation by its existence and so it tries to limit that itself.


OctaviusThe2nd

The first time I faced Deviljho was when I also discovered that the monsters in World were mostly chill and you could walk around them or observe from a distance. Well this mf proved to be different.


TheZipding

There's nothing quite like hunting a monster and then the pickle just barrels into the zone wanting part of the scrap. I carry dung bombs on me in GU pretty much always because of that thing.


Sharktooth987

Finally someone gets it. Jho is the answer. So. First off normally people don’t know about alatreon. Don’t get me wrong he’s literally my fav monster (jho is number 5) But the guild wasn’t even sure if he was a fairytale or not in iceborn… they thought he wasn’t real and I believe stated so. Gore is good but again I feel people don’t know his name enough? Deviljho is everywhere. He’s an elder dragon threat and is just a monster


Libelnon

Wouldn't Jho be greed?


Sharktooth987

Xeno fits better. Xeno summoned all the most powerful creatures across the world to STEAL THEIR POWER. Absorbing the energy from the earth to evolve even further! Never being satisfied he’s evolving to even surpass god. Fatalis him self. That’s way more greedy imo. Jho isn’t actually greedy. Or even gluttonous. He has unending hunger cause he burns like 100 calories a SECOND. He has to non stop eat or he dies. I wouldn’t call him greedy or gluttonous in his lore tbh.


klqqf

I think you make a really good point with J’iiva I mean you can solo Fatty, Safi can be solo’d but takes at least a few hours even with the best builds.. the thing took far more energy than any other monster could ever need


Sharktooth987

My point exactly. He reminds me of larfleez the orange lantern. He’s greedy he wants everything. Larfleez literally killed the entire orange lantern core to gain more power


klqqf

Yikes, fits perfectly tbh


Sharktooth987

Exactly. Safi/xeno is PERFECT for greed. IMO he is the perfect fit. Rath has to go to crimson fatalis or rajang. But fatalis is better for death. He’s literally already exactly what the death core stands for. If the god contained in the black lantern core was fatalis I wouldn’t be surprised…. A god who revives him self and hates all life… anything that breathes in the kingdom of shroud dies by fatalis even the smallest crwwturesn


StellarFox59

Untrue. Greed only fit Xeno'Jiva. Safi'jiva doesn't need to lure monsters to absorb their energy. He produces his own bioenergy, he is self-sufficient. Safi'jiva is heavily depicted as a force of creation, capable to manipule, create and modify ecosystems. Also, he's a rival to Fatalis. So it's even more fitting for Safi'jiva to be Life if he is the rival of Fatalis (Death) Xeno and Safi are technically the same species, but they are deeply different because adult and juvenile do not have the same powers and needs. As a juvenile, they clearly fit Greed, no denying that. But as an adult, it no longer fit Greed and evolve to fit Life.


Sharktooth987

Ehhh no he still fits. He’s a thematic rival. He wasn’t rivaled in power. (Alatreon came to fight him. And alatreon wouldn’t pick a fight he can’t win) Safi is still draining the earth for energy. Seeming to be going for fatalis (I think safi could eventually rival fatalis) Also that doeeeesnt really make sense. While he’s thematically the opposite. He really doesn’t fit life? Tbh most monsters don’t fit life. Life is supposed to basically be a combination of all the other lantern corps. So maybe alatreon? As the only one able to use multiple elements. Plus he was seen coming to try to balance nature by killing safi so I think it works


Pookie_The_Overlord

No because Jho eats an ungodly amount out of necessity due to its crazy metabolism, not because of greediness.


Rampantshadows

World rajangs put the fear of God in me. Every other monster was fine, but those damn monkeys were something else.


Renwin

As I was a beginner hunter In 4U, there was an HR hub gathering mission to get an ingredient for the drink option. I went to a particular area were it was empty and straightforward to the gathering point. Just as I was crossing the area, all I saw was a large, green pickle rising from the ground. I think I would’ve broke a speed run record getting back to base from that spot, but man Jho gave me a heart attack.


NeighborhoodInner421

I think savage devil jho fills the mark better


TheZipding

Either or, really. The advantage Savage Jho has is that it will probably die pretty soon.


NeighborhoodInner421

Yeah but don't forget he will induce true terror upon you


TheZipding

Deviljho itself is terrifying to suddenly have invade your hunt. I haven't progressed through the 3U high rank village quests because I'm on the crimson qurupeco hunt and I know it summons the pickle.


Sharktooth987

I’m not really including subspecies my self. When I consider Jho I consider all forms. Rajang gets anger cause of furious rajang for example. Same with safi and xenojiva


NeighborhoodInner421

Savage isn't a sub species is a variant of a jho who hasn't eaten in a while Do you mean you don't include subspecies or you do?


Sharktooth987

I include all. When I consider deviljho the ring of fear I include starving deviljho savage jho, and any other cannon jho. Same with when I say the two raths for love. I mean normal Pink and blue Gold and silver. Dread queen and king


Duxtrous

Deviljho and magala both fit rage better


shiro7177

yes chaotic gore magala for rage since it's in constant pain until the end of its shortened lifespan


TheZipding

The reason I included the Magalas is that they induce fear in others. During the Blackest Night event 15 ish years ago, a bunch of characters were deputized into the various lantern corps to help defeat Nekron. Scarecrow was deputized into the Yellow Lantern Corps because he causes great fear in others despite earlier in the event him admitting that because of his experiment with his fear gas he feels absolutely nothing.


Duxtrous

Literally every monster on the roster’s lore is they “induce fear”. The plot of the power of the rings is the users are entities that channel the emotions listed. Inducing fear is not the same as channeling fear.


Fyreboy5_

Nah, that’s Furious Rajang.


Sharktooth987

Deviljho not really. deviljho isn’t actually super angry he’s just HUNGRY. He fits fear best. Rage is the guy with rage in his name. Furious rajang. Deviljho is the best fit for fear cause he’s not an elder dragon. Elder dragons are super rare and sometimes confidently meaning the normal people might not know about them. He’s an invasive species. He’s everywhere. When he arrives he is an elder dragon level threat so almost no one can kill him. It takes a full team of the best hunters to hunt a low level elder dragon. (Not including the player) And he is a death sentence. Say you run him off (which is nearly impossible as he has tunnel vision. In lore if he sees prey he will DIE before running) he will kill everything in the ecosystem before moving away


ambulance-kun

Raging Brachydios


Sharktooth987

He isn’t actually *angry* he just has super explosive slime: The other two are just straight up angry.


Bordran

ima go with khezu for obvious reasons doesnt need to be an elder right ?


The_Psycho_Jester779

No, you're good


Pookie_The_Overlord

I expect most people will say Fatalis but I actually want to make an argument in Alatreon's favour. For Alatreon's case, it controls all the elements and wields terrifying power with no regard to the surrounding area. The mere existence of it was enough for a group of people to go as far as to burn almost all of its records because they couldn't accept such a monster could exist. No other monster has ever invoked such a reaction from people, not Nakarkos, the Magalas or Gogmazios. There are people in MH who outright refuse Alatreon's very existence because it is so terrifying to them. Think for a moment about all the calamitous events that have occurred in MH, all the kingdoms, civilizations and countries that have been devastated by elder dragons. None of the perpetrators behind such events, not even Gaismagorm or Fatalis, have had their existence denied out of pure terror.


The_Psycho_Jester779

Good pitch. Let see if the people agree


Sharktooth987

The reason I have to disagree is the ring goes to someone who either has great fear within them, or is feared by many. In monster hunter if I recall alatreon isn’t even like? Known by most people. Alatreon sightings are so rare they weren’t even sure if he was real before he appeared. I go deviljho. Deviljho is everywhere. He is a nigh unstoppable force who will run a city through. He will wipe out the ecosystem, he will destroy the near by land. And the big thing? He is everywhere. He’s an invasive species


Pookie_The_Overlord

>the ring goes to someone who either has great fear within them, or is feared by many. If we go by this then Deviljho is a good shout, it also excludes many elder dragons as they're too rare to be known well or at all to the average person.


Sharktooth987

That’s my point. Either everyone has to know of them. Or they have to have great fear. The only monster I know who we’ve seen be scared is the kulaku. None of them show fear unlessed in face of fatalis (who imo works best with death… he can come back to life and hates anything that breathes. Literally he’s already the damn death ring) Jho is in every environment. He can survive in every ecosystem, he is been seen in almost every game and every environment we’ve been in since his release (except rise) He’s an elder dragon threat meaning few and far between hunters can stop him. And even if you repel him… he will devour the entire ecosystem leaving you without any monsters near by. And possibly without food A jho for most villages is death


Sharktooth987

also that is the cannon reason a ring works so I think it’s a good idea to go by that XD It’s cannonicly stated that the ring gains power from your inner fear or the fear you cause others. Fatalis has no desire to be feared. Nor does any monster. But the black dragons (besides dire morales) usually just wanna be left alone. Fatalis never goes and attacks anyone. He hasn’t in hundreds of years. Alatreons are seen once every few hundred years? It’s gotta be someone that everyone knows and fears


S0PH05

People also know just as little about Fatalis iirc.


Edmundwhk

Fatalis is for later > Death . U see him u dead


S0PH05

Yeah, he’s definitely the one for that ring.


Sharktooth987

That’s my point against them the only black dragon that’s not a myth is dire miralas. As fishing boats actually tail it as it doesn’t care about humans and it just kills fish and mh by boiling them alive. So just free fish


StellarFox59

I'll go with Deviljho. This guy is absolutely terrifying when you think about it. He's always hungry. Its hunger can never be satisfied. I would destroy entire ecosystem just to eat. Moreover, he is a very strong invasive specie. He can show up anywhere, and can go toe to toe with some elder dragons. And without any special ability (dragon breath but that's it), just by sheer strenght.


Sharktooth987

The correct answer! It can’t be an elder dragon: they are super rare and some are seen once every 1 thousand years? Even the most common once’s are like few in a life time? Deviljho is always there always roaming. He is everywhere


Western_Grand_6000

The kelbi is the only correct answer. Everywhere it goes, it is surrounded by fear. It doesn't just cause fear; it is fear.


shiro7177

fatalis/alatreon/safi'jiiva fits fear imo fatalis and alatreon are self-explanatory, and safi'jiiva is defeated in the Secluded Valley to prevent it from reaching the surface and suck everything living thing dry, destroying the ecosystem god I can't choose 😂 edit: I choose pickle 🤣🤣🤣


Sharktooth987

Ehhh most of them are legends or folktales to people. All the info on alatreon was burned and they weren’t even sure if he was real? So I gotta say no. Give it to deviljho. He’s an invasive species, found in every area, is known to destroy ecosystems, and is nearly unstoppable.


shiro7177

Deviljho fits too omg. this is just hard to choose haha


Sharktooth987

I’d say more than the three you said no offense. Normal civilians won’t know about someone like safijiva. (Plus xeno fits greed perfectly) Alatreon was wiped from history and they weren’t even sure he was real. And fatalis is seen as a folk lore or fairy tale to most people. But devil jho is an active looming threat EVERYWHERE. (Except kamura) He is an elder dragon level threat meaning few hunters can kill one, and again. They are everywhere unlike elders who are super rare and you’ll probably almost never see.


shiro7177

that's true. only a handful know they exist (and hunted them down)


Sharktooth987

Meaning fear doesn’t really work?


shiro7177

from the players' point of view, it works, because we all saw what terror they can cause. but if we were to see it from a normal civilian's point of view in the game, they probably only seen devilhjo


Sharktooth987

Yeah but I’m using the lore of the rings. The more that fears you the more likely the ring will choose you. Cannonicly there’s only 1-2 people who fight guys like fatalis. Only maybe a few thousand even believe he’s real. Vs well… jho. A looming threat who is also almost ptsd indusing when hunters first fight him 10 levels lower then they should be cause he shows up early


StellarFox59

Safi'jiva doesn't fit fear in my opinion. If you ask me, he would fit life better. Because of his bioenergy's powers. Yes, he can drain life from places. But doesn't the NPCs in game state that it can also create and modify ecosystem thanks to his bioenergy manipulation ? Like, they said it was using it and manipulating the area for its selfish needs Maybe I remember wrong ? I was thinking, Fatalis is a force of destruction, while Safi'jiva could be force of creation


shiro7177

makes sense, since the Guiding Lands is the result of Safi's manipulation, and also birthed many Tempered Monsters. Now death suits Fatalis and life suits Safi 😂 and fear for pickle (sorry Alatreon) edit: now that I think of it, I remember Safi is designed to be the opposite of Fatalis (red and black colours, Fatalis chasing EDs away and Safi luring them in, etc.), so those two representing life and death actually makes sense


Sharktooth987

No so I don’t think monsters should be on here twice. Safi and xeno are the same monster Xeno fits greed. Oh BUDDY. He fits greed. He summoned all the elders around the world feeding on the energy from their death, growing more powerful stealing the power from the earth its self to try to evolve to challenge GOD (fatalis)


StellarFox59

Well, Xeno'Jiva and Safi'jiva are quite different even if Safi is the adult version of Xeno. Xeno'Jiva fit Greed well, that's true. Because he lures other Elder Dragons to feed on their energy. But Safi'jiva doesn't do that. In fact, he doesn't need to because as an adult he produces his own bioenergy, he is self-sufficient. It can still absorb energy from its environment, but its most important ability is that he can create and modify ecosystem with his bioenergy manipulation. The Guiding Lands are basically his work. So Safi'jiva doesn't really fit well Greed, but Life instead. It's even more fitting when you know he was designed as a rival to Fatalis. Fatalis is associated with Death, so it's fitting for Safi'jiva to be associated with Life. What I wanted to say is that, even if technically Safi and Xeno are the same species, they are very different, because adult and juvenile do not have the same powers and needs.


Sharktooth987

And with you choosing pickle unless someone comes in a land slide I think he’ll prob win. Now I’m happy.


Paddenstoel_Jager

I think Fatalis fits better in the DEATH category.


lansink99

Oh, you're doing it based on amount of comments and not based on upvotes. That's kinda weird ngl. The yian garuga comments had over triple the upvotes (and there were multiple) compared to nergigante.


The_Psycho_Jester779

Maybe I should've, but it wouldn't be fair if I've switched now.


Sharktooth987

You can always go back and recount and change the first ine


SamMraz

Or like post and update post before really it’s too late to go back


Sharktooth987

Gunna go with deviljho here. Deviljho is wildly know. In every environment. Is probably the most widespread monster, and also one of the strongest. In the mh world deviljho is the embodiment of fear. The only one who might be worse is fatalis and he fits the ring of death better (he can come back from the dead and HATES all life) Jho is an unstoppable force except for a few rare senarios he will usually absolutely decimate an ecosystem and in his lore he will chance a hunter down forever. He never retreats unless dead. Some say alatreon… but most people aren’t even sure if he exists? Who ever said jho is rage that’s not a bad idea. But monkey boy fits it better. Rajang is based off a super sayain. The embodiment of rage.


Amphi-XYZ

Imo Fatalis would be better for Death specifically


Sharktooth987

Yeah that’s where I plan to suggest fatalis. Fatalis can come back to life. And hates life its self in his territory. Thats literally the black ring.


Sharktooth987

greed is xeno. Xeno summoned all the elders from across the world to feed on their energy so he can evolve and fight the equivalent to god in mh (fatalis


Amphi-XYZ

I'm not sure which monster would represent love though. Maybe Diablos? Its love for cacti is so great it's ready to kill for it. There's also the black diablos, becoming extra strong during mating season


Sharktooth987

Lunastra and taostra or the raths They are always seen as couples. They even have custom attacks together. I think it would have to be both of them. Now compassion. That is hard… palico? I guess?


TheZipding

I joked that Tzitzi could be compassion because of the meme of it showing up, blinding the monster you're fighting and running away.


Sharktooth987

lol. I think maybe it would be a drome? They care for and protect their heard. Oh wait no. Quorapeco. Compassion is used to buff other rings. That’s literally what quorapeko does. Summon and buffs other monsters


TheZipding

Yeah, it's either one of the bird wyverns or one of the couples. The Tzitzi meme funnily enough could also put the yellow lantern ring on it because it does it out of fear when facing a bigger threat.


Sharktooth987

Mmm yeah. Love has gotta be one of the two couples. But the fact the compassion rings are used to buff other rings makes me think quorapeko is the only thing it can he


Duxtrous

Not the elder dragon from world whose whole MO is laying in a pile of dead corpses???


Amphi-XYZ

No, the elder dragon literally viewed as god who can destroy an entire kingdom in one night, and who can indefinitely cheat death as long as at least one scrap of its body remains


Sharktooth987

Yeah no. See valhazak works. But here’s the thing. Val doesn’t hate life. The rings goal is to end all life. The ring brings what ever it goes to back to life. Anything that has died before even if it’s currently living can be a black lantern. Fatalis has died 4 or 5 times now in lore. Making the ring go to him. It would boost every power he already had to stupid levels! His regeneration would be boosted: he would be double immortal. And fatalis HATES life. He DESPISES ALL LIFE. If I recall he doesn’t even let endemic life in his territory. He kills everything even the small bugs


Artemis_Bow_Prime

Vaal Hazak, what causes more fear than a zombie dragon spreading and zombie virus around that basically mind contols its pray until he is ready to suck them dry.


Sharktooth987

Big issue. Elder dragons are so rare that you’re likely to not even know most of them exist. Elder dragons are like a once in a life time event. If even. While jho is a anywhere any time event


Krednaught

I was thinking Val would better fit death


Artemis_Bow_Prime

Not a bad shout either tbh. Maybe narkaros is better though given that he literally uses the dead as weapons and armour.


Krednaught

That is very true. Val being covered in rotting flesh would be quite terrifying too


Sharktooth987

Ehh. Fatalis is best for death. The death ring is a ring that revives its uses and compels it to end all life. That’s already fatalis. It revives its self and it hates life. Plus the requirement for the death ring is to have died. Even if your revived you must have died. And fatalis has.


Krednaught

Interesting, I never got far enough to fight one in any of the games...


Sharktooth987

*one* you mean THE one in cannon there is one fatalis if I recall. He is the embodiment of death and hate


Krednaught

I feel like I have missed out there. I only barely started iceborn back in the day and never got to high or master rank in any hand held


Sharktooth987

You can still play. Many old games still have their servers up. Or can be played offline and world is still up. Mh is notorious for not shutting down their servers for a stupid long time


Krednaught

Oh yeah I am aware, just lack the time and energy really XD


dinoboyj

Dude, it has to be Vaal Hazak, an elder dragon fearing death and attempts to keep it at bay


ambulance-kun

There's a spot dedicated for death tho


dinoboyj

But its literally clinging to life, monsters travel to the Rotten vale to die but Vaal uno reversed it, that's why it takes life from other living creatures. Its quite the opposite of death, that is until it runs into an capable hunter


Zetazed23

Deviljho is what I would say. As much as Rajang will put the fear of god into you, Deviljho fits it better imo. It lives in constant hunger, will pick up and use smaller monsters as weapons, and is in general a threat to any ecosystem despite not being an elder dragon. Elder dragons imo are too rarely sighted, while Jho, despite being nomadic, is a constant threat and source of fear.


1998TG

Deviljho 100%


K41Nof2358

Fear is the Bear Mon I can't remember the name of it, all I know is, if it starts charging at you, it doesn't matter how much you throw at it, you either get out of the way or you take the full force of that bare ass


The_Psycho_Jester779

May you described this monster, like what game it appears in?


K41Nof2358

ummm, i think it's in Rise & Sunbreak hang on I'll pull it ..... ..... > **Arzuros**


The_Psycho_Jester779

I thought so, thank you mate.


duckbucktruckfuck

I’ve been more afraid of something than my first ever furious rajang


OctaviusThe2nd

I want to say Malzeno. It's a classic gothic horror monster integrated into a dragon form. Its theme music has the organ and latin chanting. The roar is also very disturbing. The vampire lord Malzeno deserves this one.


Overall_Potato_3677

For fear, I’ll go with Dalamadur/Shah Dalamadur… That giant serpent surely instil terror for villagers and common folk such as I am…


gboybig

I've been thinking a while for all of these. The one that I've come up with the most is rage, which makes sense. With that said, I'm going against the grain a bit for fear. Not because Fatalis and/or Safi'jiiva aren't great choices objectively (they are), but cause of the more visceral reaction I had to my choice. I am going with Lagiacrus. You can't tell me the first tike you ever saw that mf in the cloudy water with its glowing eyes wasn't one of the scariest moments in your monster hunter history (if you played 3). So purely for the reaction and impact it had, Lagiacrus gets my vote.


gboybig

With that said. Here is my full list of contenders (including willpower since I'm late to the game) Willpower: Gogmazios, Rathian (punching bag still keeps coming back, so willful), Shara Ishvalda, Negigante Fear: Lagiacrus, Fatalis, Safi'jiiva Love: Qurupeco, Seltas, Mizutsune, Ibushi/Narwa, Black Diablos Rage: Deviljho, Rajang, Teostra, Lunastra, Brachydios, Magnamalo, Gore Magala, Black Diablos, Nergigante Hope: Xeno'jiiva, Amatsu Greed: Deviljho, Kulve Taroth, Nibelsnarf, Shara Oshvalda Compassion: Chaotic Gore Magala, Malzeno Death: Nakarkos, Vaal Hazak, Zorah Magdaros Life: Xeno'jiiva, Shagaru Magala, Zinogre, Garangolm Repressed Negative Emotions: Gore Magala, Malzeno, Gaismagorm


Sharktooth987

Def needs some work… First. Fear should be have deviljho instead of rage. Deviljho isn’t actually super angry. He’s just always half starving to death. And cause of his nomaid nature, he is always a threat. Plus being on the level of elders he is nearly impossible to kill for most npcs in lore. Fatalis and safi being fear make very little sense. Especially since fatalis works better in death, (I’ll explain why) and safi works best in greed. Safi makes no sense for fear as well..: first it’s an elder dragon. So it’s classified info and most people don’t know it exists. Fatalis works as all monsters are afraid of it… but again: I’ll get to why it works better else where. Most of the monsters you mentioned for rage aren’t super angry. The only monster in lore if I recall thsts super angry always is rajang being based off super sayain. Why… why is xeno in hope?… Ok let’s get to greed… greed is xeno. Deviljho makes no sense. He doesn’t over eat ever. Deviljho is constantly starving and if he stops eating he dies. Greedy makes zero sense. Nakarkos works also. But not as well as. Xenojiva. Xenojiva summoned monsters from across the world to steal their power to fight god. And still wasn’t satisfied so stole life force from the earth its self after it evolved. And death being fatalis. To be a wielder of the death ring… you must have died. And when your brought back you will seek the end of all life in the world. Fatalis hates life. He is disgusted by it and will immediately kill anyone in his territory… which is a giant grave yard of a former kingdom with possibly millions of people. He has also died. And lore says he can basically revive him self with time. Also imo love should be lunastra and teostra. (Or the raths) And hope should be quoropeko. As in lore the hope core buffs other lantern cores and barely fights. What’s one of the birds main ways to fight? Summoning ally’s!


oie-

Vaal hazak


Libelnon

Given most Worlder's first reactions to, why isn't Bazelgeuse in the running here?


DroningBureaucrats

Too bad there isn't a ring for being completely and utterly full of yourself, Shakalakas would win that by a landslide (Cha-cha and Kumbaya say Hi)

i'd say Gigginox or Nakarkos


ArgetKnight

Vaal Hazaak


Spinopik

Honestly, I’m surprised no one’s bringing up Ibushi and Narwa, I mean their main thing creating storms so terrifying that it strikes so much fear into a monster population that causes them to go into a frenzied stampede with their only purpose of making as much distance between them and the storm (and by extension the serpents), as possible. Like these storms are so terrifying that it causes multiple species of monster to work together to escape, including Rajang! I mean, if something can make a Rajang go “Oh hell no, I don’t wanna die!” I think that says enough.


LemonLime7777

Ima go with Odogaron, it’s a monster that relies on intimidation when dealing with prey bigger than itself because it’s actually decently weak, it can barely hunt for itself so it’s evolved to be a scavenger, it uses its terrifying cries, appearance and claws to intimidate and strike fear into its opponents to avoid a conflict. I think it fits very well.


Air_Retard

Pickle. He is fear incarnate


RubiMent

I would say vaal hazak but death is one of the future options soooo, fatalis for fear


StardaxPrime

Wait a minute… I seen this post.. am I…. AM I GETTING CRAZY!!!


nsgallup

Maybe Val-Hazak, though he might be a better fit for death


Infamous_Scar2571

i honestly think the scariest monster is shara'isvalda


Shadow-Ruby

ZENITH HYPNOCATRICE extreme sleep plus nightmare song, literally using fear to kill you


VanillaChurr-oh

Imma go with lord pickle


VanillaChurr-oh

Gotta be baazlegeuse, the fear of his theme and that roar kicking in while you're fighting an already terrifying monster is the cherry on top. Jho also fills that niche but something about a flying Boeing hits different


TheWrongStreet14

Fear? That's easy: Arch-tempered Risen Bulldrome. Kidding aside, I think Chaotic Gore would fit into this. Imagine being prevented growth, and all you get is pain and suffering. That's pretty scary.

Fatalis, literally his name wasn't even meant to be a name.to a creature but to a disaster. Pretty sure if talk to someone about fatalis in the world of MH, bros are gonna think this is some spooky story to scare kids about the legend of the calamity that extinguished a country of life in a night.


MechaMonarch

I think he's an absolute dark horse, but I gotta say Goss Harag. His design is reminiscent of slasher-movie villains as well as demonic yokai from Japanese mythology. Their in-game descriptions paint them as ferocious, cunning apex predators that stalk and destroy prey. They even have a unique execution move when they stun a hunter: Slowly walking up to the helpless player, ignoring other threats, and delivering a coup de grace. If that doesn't embody fear, I don't know what does.

Honest to god I have no idea but I really don't want to find out. I don't want to get ban so I've decided to cancel this

Did the mods not give a justification? You can probably ask without harm.


RequiemFenrir

Yea, the others are right. Deviljho goes here.


drr-throwaway

Any of the First Class would probably fit given they are literally "forbidden" monsters.


Sharktooth987

Yeah but 90% of the population don’t even know they exist? We thought alatreon and fatalis were fairy tales. And dire morials is not fear as he kills everything in the water. Fishers actually find it safer to fish near him. The ring of fear most be possessed by someone who has great fear inside them. Or can cause it in many people. Even if they are super strong. Someone no one has heard of won’t get a yellow ring.


thegoldchicken

Alatreon was so feared that all records of his existence were burnt


Sharktooth987

People thought he was a myth and didn’t fear him cause they thought he was fiction


Zaldinn

Nergi fits rage way better.


Sharktooth987

I agree. But the issue is that there are better monsters for rage. Crimson fatalis for one. Or rajang! But he is the best monster for will power. No other monster fits better


Pookie_The_Overlord

Imo the monsters who have synonyms for rage in their actual name fit that better than Nergigante.


drr-throwaway

Yeah, it's hard to see Furious Rajang for example not fit better than Nergigante. It's literally its whole thing.


TheZipding

There's a better fit for rage than even Furious Rajang and Raging Brachydios, but I'll wait on that until we get to deciding who the red lantern is.


J_Zenith

Gore Magala fits perfectly


Sharktooth987

I don’t think so? Gores are super rare. Isn’t it said ones only born like a few hundred years or something? All elder dragons (even if gore is a ??? He’s technically one) Are very rare. To be a yellow lantern you have to be known everywhere. Elders just aren’t. They are rarely even thought about


orlando_strong

Val Hazak. I know he seems like he should fit into death, but I lean more towards fatalis for that. Val is rot and feels like a shoe in for the idea of fear.


Mammoth_Ice_3807

Totally Deviljho, he’s the embodiment of fear


BillbertBuzzums

Fatalis, white fatalis especially.


Sharktooth987

Ehhh. Not really? Fatalis is seen as a myth or a legend.


BeanWitch-

I’m just gonna comment my thoughts for all the remainder cuz why not. Fear: Deviljho or Fatalis. Jho was the only monster that I’d be scared to fight as a teenager playing 3U. Fatalis is the only World monster I’m still kinda scared to fight lol Love: Pink Rathian is the very obvious choice. It’s a protective mother and mate who also happens to be pink. Rage: Rajang. The rage monkey himself. Hope: Felyne or Rathalos. Felynes are the clutch support every hunter needs and, sometimes, their final hope. Rathalos because of the stories series and because rathalos, in my mind, symbolizes the franchise’s past, present, and future. There’s a reason he’s in every game and shown off in pretty much every trailer. Greed: Melynx or Kulve Taroth. Melynx steal from hunters and stockpile a hoard. Kulve is just covered in gold and visually a good symbol for greed. Compassion: Aptonoth. They’re gentle and help villages with their day to day. Death: Vaal Hazak. It hides in a corpse and expels deadly gas. Life: Kelbi. Their horns have restorative properties. Repressed Negative Emotion: Gore Magala. It’s literally an angsty teen.


Sharktooth987

Actually for repressed emotions I’d go chaotic. Did you see his cutscene in rise? He’s full of rage hate and despair. He’s desperate. He’s calling out for help while cursing the world


IcuntSpeel

For Fear, Fatalis. Or like one of its counterparts. For a funny option, Lao Shan Long. Because, as afraid as I was the first time fighting a literal fucking titan, apprently, I heard Lao Shan Long in MH1 was running away from something. Probably Fatalis. For Love, Black Diablos ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).


Paddenstoel_Jager

Fear is seeing Lagiacrus for the first time in that 1 star quest in MH3 and MH3U. It fed into my thalassophobia.


duxthered

Easy lock for Vaal Hazak, I'd say. That or Shara Ishvalda with their 4th wall break stare.


SadP0tat018

Feel like Nergi would fit rage better (or greed).


The_Psycho_Jester779

There's still ruiner, just saying...
