Monster Hunter is a series that I've grown more and more fond of the longer I've delved into it, and I have Monster Hunter Stories to thank for introducing me properly into the series. As such, I kind of felt the need to really immortalize the team in full in some way or another. Also thought strongly about it and considered what I personally would run on the team if given free reign too, and added a few in as well.
I have to give a massive thank you to DannyG who was gracious enough to tackle this monstrous task in this giant piece, but it was very much worth it, and I am above and beyond happy with this end result.
So this character is going to also end up being my primary Rider character that I may use for future Monster Hunter stories I'm going to be writing as well. May not always be the main character, but will be a character in it. A sort of G-Rank level Rider, max Kinship level.
Also went and designed my own set of armor for this, a combination piece between Glavenus, Valstrax, and Nerscylla Blademaster armors into something truly my own. Gives you an idea of what monsters are my favorites.
So here's the team:
-Daedelus the Glavenus/Dinovaldo: A utter tank of a Brute Wyvern. Able to take hits and deal them back with fiery fury, using his spines to shred targets with the ferocity of a Seregios, and scorch in turn with his fiery breath and blazing tail. One of the cornerstone monsters on the team and my go-to monster for any serious challenge. A truly welcome monster. Often seen keeping his tail sharp and his wits strong.
-Danza the Redhelm Arzuros: This bear was there from the beginning, and has continued to remain a loyal and trusted part of the team. He's become a surprisingly potent member of the team in certain battles. While not as tanky or as strong as some other members of the team, he's maintained his position through grit and copious utilization of self-healing to outlast opponents. Off the battlefield, he tends to just snack and chill. Bring on the bear.
-Zarinor the Zamtrios: Another long-standing member of the team. Among all the other members of the team, this shark has never left the side of his rider on the team, period. One of the most loyal and steadfast monsters you will find under the care of a Rider. With his strength in his Ice, be it armor or spewing it, this shark has proven himself reliable and capable to tackle any speedy foe. Off the battlefield, he's most commonly sleeping, usually somewhere wet if he can find it.
-Kohdan the Brachydios: A hybrid behemoth, channeling both Ice and Fire with his strong tendency towards Blastblight, this boxing Brachy eagerly will challenge any foe, not even flinching before Elder Dragons before proceeding to get that fistfight going. Very hard to knock down, and very eager for a fight, this Brachy has proven himself reliable in any big takedown.
-Seritos the Stygian Zinogre: Ferocious and proud, this Zinogre has faced down many a Deviljho and stood proudly in triumph. Channelling the power of Dragon, this wolf is one of the mainstays of the team, brought forth for so many big takedowns. A true slayer, and a true defender. This wolf has earned his place on the team so many times over.
-Seyno the Shrouded Nerscylla: Another mainstay to the team, channeled to the power of Lightning, and a potent tactician on the battlefield. This monster will gladly face down any speedy foes and ensnare them. A master of poison and paralysis, this spider has been one of the single most steadfast and reliable members of the team for this rider, tackling even Kirin and triumphing. A truly reliable friend.
-Garax the Molten Tigrex: If there was ever a monster that symbolized equal parts brutality and tactics, it would be Garax. This Blastblight-inflicting beast trades defense for raw power, but also Fire power. Tactfully utilizing Explosive Dust to his advantage, he riddles the battlefield in it, and cuts down attackers quickly. Savagery refined into a serrated blade.
-Neroth the Silverwind Nargacuga: Speed, speed, and more speed. If you had to make a distinction on what role Neroth served the team, it would be that. Rivaling a Kirin in speed potential, Neroth has been with the team for a considerable amount of time, keeping pace with the veterans and often out-pacing the newcomers. Almost a samurai of the group.
-Garun the Rajang: One of the more volatile members of the team with a temper to match his species well. This fanged beast is reliable in his manner of pummeling the enemy into submission. One of the harder monsters to raise, but a worthy and loyal companion in his potency.
-Kalein the Valstrax/Valphalk: One of the hardest members of the team to manage, but a damn good flier, and a reliable member of the team when things hit the fan. Often only brought in as a last resort, this dragon commands the skies on the team with peerless power under the Rider. Raised with care and compassion, this dragon has learned the lessons of moderation and patience, and has become a solid tactician as a result, showing a surprising level of intelligence. Off the battlefield, his Rider often rides around with him, the two of them getting the wind blowing on them, free and open. He often has disputes with Neroth due to power struggles, but have been successfully kept apart from any real conflicts, due to the damage it might cause.
This team is one that I'm super proud of, and overly thankful to have a piece done for, to immortalize them and my experience with Monster Hunter Stories. Not every monster here is in Stories, but this team is the culmination of both my deep appreciation for the Monster Hunter series, and also my favorite monsters as a result of those experiences.
Again, over the top thankful for DannyG for this amazing piece. They deserve all the fans, support, and appreciation they get. Moreso, even.

Yes it is, but it was all worth it to immortalize the team, along with some added touches.
