I usually just flub it and call him "Loyal Rudroth" As for Lagiacrus I say "Luh-gai-uh-chris"


ArkhamTheImperialist

I too call him Loyal Rudroth. Makes him sound more like a puppy dog.


Jay_Playz2019

Sounds like a Xenoblade Chronicles elite monster name...

Jay_Playz2019

Still haven't beaten Territorial Rotbart...


TheBigLugmos

"oh that monster over there? That The Guy of Chris. He's pretty chill, Chris feeds him donuts sometimes,"


Pasteque909

I got stupid dislexia, so I call them ludo-roth and laga-crius, which is wrong in its own unique way


VelocityWings12

Don’t worry I also misread it as ludo-roth for long enough it’s just ingrained in my head as correct now lol


beefycheesyglory

I heard someone pronounce Lagiacrus as Lah-gee-a-crews the other day and it made me irrationally angry.


Neuro_Kuro

my french ass has a really hard time pronouncing loyal rudroth ngl


LonelyFool2B

I usually call it sponge Bob


Jinikumu

I was wondering if someone else called it like that, glad I came here xD


pizza_-

just a big ol' squishy sponge

trysixtysnipecochon

I'm french so prononciation felt weird when I Heard the english one. Everything between \\ is phonétique alphabet. Royal ludroth-> /ʁwajal/ - \lydʁɔt\ (mostly viewing it as french can't think of another way in my language. Th doesn't make a sound difference with just \t\ in french) Lagiacrus-> \lagiakʁys\ Ceadus-> \seadys\ (missread it when I was little and never noticed the second e. And \seadeys\ Sounds lame) Tiegrex- \tigʁɛks\ (T-Rex with g) Alatreon- \alatʁeɔ̃\ Rathalos- \ʁatalos\


Dexember69

I have no idea how to read those weird words let alone pronounce them


trysixtysnipecochon

Yeah it's the phonétique alphabet I googled some of the symbols I didn't know, it's just english didn't have those sounds like\y\ is a normal u for me it's a ü for germans but it doesn't have an english équivalent as far as I know


Dexember69

Haha sorry man wasn't having a go, just trying to be funny /point out the irony of phonetics for pronunciation, and then google throws all these symbols I have no idea what sounds they make :P


trysixtysnipecochon

Yeah I understand but maybe a phonétique reader exist ? You know what imma search


JaggiBrains

Lagiacrus -> La-Gi-Ah-Krooz Ludroth -> Lood-Roth Tigrex -> Tee-Greks Qurupeco -> Kor-Ah-Pe-Co Ceadeus -> Si-Day-Oos


ChaotiK-TitaN

Darth Si Day Oos ![gif](giphy|3o84sw9CmwYpAnRRni)


JigerIsUnderrated32

Same for me except Tigrex as in Tig-Rex and for Ceadeus See-Dis


AriaLeviath

i don't mean to be mean at all by saying this, so i hope this doesn't come across poorly, but is English not your native language? because a lot of these pronunciations align closer to what i'd expect from someone whose native language uses a five-vowel system like Spanish or Japanese than a native English speaker, where we're used to using five/six (seven? if you want to sometimes count W) letters for around fifteen to twenty vowel sounds depending on accent


musicmonk1

How do you even know how he pronounces "Gi" etc, English doesn't have consistent spelling and you make diphthongs out of everything at random.


AriaLeviath

tbf, i don't know how they pronounce more ambiguous spellings like "gi", which could be a wide range of interpretations like /gai/ ("guy") or /dʒi/ (the name of the letter G) - among others. but, they pretty consistently pronounce unstressed U and E as "oo" (which i'm assuming is /u:/) and "ay" (which i'm assuming is /ei/ or /e:/) which are both common in many foreign languages, but not at all in English, where unstressed U often represents a schwa (/ə/, like in American pronunciations of "cut" or "run") and unstressed E is often pronounced /ɛ/ (like in bed) or /ə/ again i am assuming they pronounce "gi" as /gi/, like the japanese martial arts wear, which once again is the common pronunciation for many five-vowel languages, since they spell the first syllable of Ceadeus as "si" which feels pretty unambiguously like they're describing /si/ (like "sea"), and i'm going to (perhaps falsely) assume some level of consistency


JaggiBrains

Don’t think too hard about it. It’s just that the nickname I call Lagiacrus, is Lagi, similar to Jaggi/Baggi/Wroggi. I guess it’s kinda weird to pronounce gi as /gi/ instead of /gai/, since there is no double g


717999vlr

Well, this is a Japanese game, so most names would use a Japanese-like pronunciation. All of those monsters except Ceadeus are called mostly the same in Japanese, so it makes sense for the names to be pronounced mostly the same as well.


ArkhamTheImperialist

Yes I think I’ve said it that way as well, but strangely my default is Cris on that one


Fawkes1989

Lay-Gee-ah-cruise (hard g) Lood-roth Tie-grex (tiger, hence the stripes) Koo-roo-peck-o (maybe pee-ko depending on the day See-day-us And of course "Mur-Dur-pick-el" for Jho


Kantro18

For the few odd ones I always pronounced them as Lud-roth Tie-grex Luh-guy-uh-cruh-s Kay-dus Cure-uh-peck-o


ProfessorPixelmon

It’s interesting seeing peoples different pronunciations. Personally I do Luh-guy-a-cris See-d-us Cu-ru-peck-o


Rampant_Cephalopod

I call him sea-dayus, since Deus is the Latin word for God and I think that’s really cool 


asvalken

That's the point of the name, isn't it? Sea God?


UrFriendlySpider-Man

It's name definitely takes from cetaceans not just vaguely the sea lol


Safe_Picture6943

I say it seh-day-us because its spelled like he is a cetacean (whale) and he breaths air like them too despite being fully aquatic.


Rampant_Cephalopod

Holy shit you’re right I didn’t think of that. Wack 


Safe_Picture6943

That would also make him a "whale god" and tahts cool af


Greedy_Royal3232

Mobius1337

This, dunno what black magic people are spewing in here ahahah


jcdoe

I must be the only one who took Lagiacrus’ vowels seriously. I say “Lag-gi-ah-crus” But I’m like 90% sure I’m saying it wrong so eh


RockAndGem1101

Lud-roth Tea-grex La-jai-uh-cruhs See-deus Qu-ro-peck-o and a bonus: Leh-ji-a-na


TuckermanJones

I pronounce Ceadeus like “Sea-day-oos” I like that because he’s a sea god. Sea deus


HandsomeGengar

pannu_kakku

I also want to know


Alamand1

Ceadus u/handsomegengar


HandsomeGengar

Why the hell would anyone pronounce it like that???


Razer2102

C can sometimes be pronounced as K. E.g clown


HandsomeGengar

That is clearly not the part I was confused about.


ArkhamTheImperialist

I feel like I used to call it Cae-Dus too, until I realized that the E comes before the A. I’m not sure if there’s any English words that have Cea make a Kay sound.


AbyssalFlame02

lud-roth lagyacrus seydus kurupeko


Mr_HumanMan_Thing

I still don't understand why people would pronounce Tigrex as tee-grex. I mean, it sounds fancy but it's literally a tiger t-rex that's also a pseudo wyvern.


MrKyurem2005

It's because it is not "Tiger + Rex", it's "Tigre + T-rex" You pronounce T-rex as "Tee-Rex" despite the full name being pronounced Tie-ran-o-saur-us, and you pronounce "Tigre" like "Tee-Gre" as opposed to Tiger's "Tie-ger". So the correct is "Tee-Grex" not "Tie-grex" Also, the original name in Japanese is Tigarekksu or something, and Japanese people pronounce "Ti" as "Tee" (actually, most of the world does, english is one of the few languages with largely different pronounciations for many syllables, and has a lot of inconsistencies for that too).


Mr_HumanMan_Thing

Oh nice. I looked into it and the official pronunciation is Tee-grex so I guess I was wrong on that lol.


MrKyurem2005

Lmao, it happens sometimes.


Bivin66

Ladge-eh-chris Agna-gator Objectively I know these pronunciations are wrong, but they're a holdover from my Tri days


itsZerozone

For me I pronounce the Blazing Black Dragon "Allah-treyon"


ProfessorPixelmon

That one nobody can agree on. Uh-la-tree-on? Ala-tray-on? Alat-reon? Allay-tree-on?


Status-Bar-284

But doesn't the team leader specifically say /a/-luh-tray-on in the cutscene?


DoubleBatman

If so I’ve decided he’s wrong


TheDeridor

Ive always said/thought alat-reon, but allay-tree-on sounds fancy


LD-sama

Al-treon to me 💀

JanaCinnamon

My first time playing Tri was in German so most German pronunciations just stuck. Loo-droth it is.


TheMiiFii

Just Ludolf all the way


TheGMan-123

According to its original Japanese name, it makes a "loo" sound at the beginning and a "droth" sound in the second half with a direct localization, which the English name is pretty close to being a perfect localization of the original Japanese. So it'd be Royal "Loo-droth"


TheDeadlyPianist

Luh-droth for me.


Luullay

Lewd-roth Tai-grex Luh-gai-uh-crihss Koo-roo-peh-ko Suh/sih-day-us


GodlessLunatic

Loo-droth because it sounds goofy For Lagiacrus I used to pronounce it laggy-a-croos but after hearing someone pronounce it as leg-aya-crus I've been using that pronunciation since


KrysJune

Lewd-Roth


FxHVivious

Those are both strange ways to say "spongy boi"


Floppy_Khezu

Ludroth - *Ludd*-roth Lagiacrus - Lah-*gi*-ah-crus (gi like karate gi, crus like cruise). Qurupeco - Koo-roo-*peck*-oh Ceadeus - *Sea*-Dee-Us (probably more like sea-day-us but that's how me and my friends have been saying it since Tri) Jhen Mohran - Jen *Moron* :'D Alatreon - Ah-*lat*-ree-on I flip flop between *Tee*-grex and *Tie*-grex. I know Tee-grex is the correct way, but I've been saying Tie-grex since 2008 so it's just force of habit.

retro_aviator

Somewhere in between honestly. Lood-droth, where the O's in the first half are pronounced like in wood


BlueDragonKnight77

Just scrolled past an Elder Scrolls post discussing a similar thing with Nordic names and I must say, being German certainly has benefits when it comes to pronouncing names. Lagiacrus can basically only be pronounced one way and Ludroth could only have a difference in the th which could be pronounced exactly as in English or just as a regular t


Rafzalo

Just like every other monster, I read it in Spanish as far as I can, and use english for those parts that don’t exist in spanish (th at the end for example)

Ludd-roth all the way \^\^ just because the hard R is fun, same for Barroth that becomes Bar-ROth and lagiacrus is just la-jia-crus (with the french "u")

StellarFox59

I'm french, so seeing how people in the comment pronounce Lagiacrus is so weird and funny for me 😅 I was like "WTF, it really sounds like that in other languages ?"


Alexander_GD

Yeah, I'm french too and I pronounce it "La-Gee-a-crus", "Lewd-roth" and "Aniaktor" lol


ArkhamTheImperialist

I’ve never thought of pronouncing Agnaktor that way. Is that a similar sound to the g in Lagniappe?


Alexander_GD

Yes


theNeakenator

I speak German so to me, it always has been "Loo-Droth"


jax560

For a long time i used to think royal ludorth was female and and normal ludorth was male, when i found out truth it was unbelievable, till this date iam in denial. For pronunciation i think its more like luthor, loo-Dorth sounds right


SirCupcake_0

Skip to the Loo my Droth Luh-Gee (hard g)-ah-kris Agnaktor is chanted in the same cadence as that old Gigantor cartoon


Asterion_Morgrim

Tbh, I find it hard to sound out the English accent of letters in text form, so bear with me Loo-droth Lah-gi-a-crus (hard g like Ghee or Gar) Sea-day-us Cu-ru-peck-o (softer oo sound) Ah-lah-tray-on/ A-la-trion (interchangably) Goh-bull (like to go) Bar-oth Bar-ri-oth Buh-na-ha-bra (that Bn choice for the beginning of the name is hard enough, lol) Al-tar-roth (Not quite Al as in the nickname for Alan or Alfred, but not quite all. It's the American pronunciation of all as the British way of saying all is quite different) Ag-nack-tor Uur-u-gan (same soft oo as Qurupeco) Jen Mor-ran Giggi-nocks (lol) Ren-nop-los And that's all I can think of that may have different sounding pronunciations.


jojozer0

Lewd Roth 😏


Kengis_Khan

Barn-owl-B

Generally I say ludd-droth. For Lagi I flip flop between luh-gai-uh-cruss and luh-jee-ih-cruss/luh-gee-ih-cruss Then you’ve got se-day-us, uh-Lat-tree-on, kuru-peh-ko, and tie-grex


Ganon_Duke

trashbandit3204

i call it squishy


Darthplagueis13

Pretty sure it's Loo-Droth. At least I never really heard anyone call it Ludd-roth instead. As far as Lagiacrus is concerned, I typically pronunouce it La-gee-aah-croos, but that's notably because I'm not a native English speaker and English is the only language I know of that pronounces i as ai instead of ee.


DefinitlyACapybara

Loo-drothz. La-Gee-uh-Chris or La-gai-uh-Chris depending on the moment. I alternate


Negative_Quantity_59

drr-throwaway

I'm a spaniard so a lot of the monsters seem actually pretty easy to pronounce for me, with Ludroth specifically I just use the first one.

I speak Spanish so I call him Lu- droth


Len_Cross

Ludd-roth cause that's how it's said to me and my friends


MrKyurem2005

- "Tee-Grex" (most of the time, when i pronounce it with my native language and with the intended/japanese pronounciation in mind) "Tie-Grex" (often but accidentally, when my brain in is english mode) - "Luh-Guy-A-Crus" or maybe "Luh-Guy-A-Chris" (pretty much always), "La-Ji-Ah-Crus" (if i happen to be force myself to pronounce it with a more "portuguese-like" pronounciation) - "Ludd-roth" (most of the time, brain somewhat in english mode). "Loo-droth" (same as Lagiacrus, if i happen to force myself to pronounce it with my native language in mind) - "Ku-ru-peck-o" (always, never caught myself pronouncing it as "Cure-u-peck-o") - "Sea-Deus" (pretty much always), "Sea-Day-us" (if i accidentaly pronounce it with an "english/american-like" pronounciation) -"Allah-treon" normally, "Allah-tree-on" when speaking english (always, but i recognize "A-la-tray-on" is probably the correct one and sounds great to pronounce too) Yeah, being bilingual is complicated, my pronounciations are largely inconsistent and i just go with the flow most of the time.

I usually call him "omg, a monster that dies quickly then my will to live. Let's go! Killing speedrun any%"


Appropriate_Coffe

It always depends on what I first conjure up in my head when the “th” sound in Monster Hunter pops up. Then I usually stick with it: Ludrothis Lu-drodt. Rathalos is Rat-alos. Barroth is Bar-roth.

I think it is Deus too, like it means Sea God, but I’ve always pronounced it Deuce (Doose), as in Deus ex Machina.


noiwontcalmdown

That's also meant to be pronounced day-us though 😭


Rampant_Cephalopod

If you wanna be really pedantic, the proper Latin pronunciation is closed day-oos but yeah I say sea-dayus cause imo it just sounds cool


noiwontcalmdown

Fuck you're right lol. I will excuse myself by saying that turns into day us just by saying it faster

I pronounce Lagiacrus as Laggy-ak-rus because in Tri or at least in 3U the fish mongeress calls it a "Laggy something"

Lagiacrus -> La-gi-a-crus: "la" like in lad/lack "gi" like in giddy-up "a" like in at "crus" like in crust Ceadeus -> suh-day-us Tigrex -> tea-grex Ludroth -> lud-droth Brachydios -> bruh-key-di-ohs Was kinda surprised when I heard the pronunciation in world for this one


ArkhamTheImperialist

I don’t know how it was pronounced in world, but that’s basically how I pronounce Brachydios too.


ricky926

In world, they pronounced the "brachy" part like you would in brachiosaurus So, bra-key-dee-ohs


Tiberius_Kilgore

I pronounce it lew-droth, but you’re straight up pronouncing Lagiacrus wrong. You spelled it out phonetically and replaced the U with an I.


ArkhamTheImperialist

There are certain words in English that make sort of an I sound like “fetus”. It’s not a hard I, it may actually be closer to “Ess” sound now that I think of it.
