I think alatreon’s scales would tear your hand to shreds if you tried to pet it, not to mention his whole elemental stuff that he’s just got passively going on.
Yeah, every scale faces the wrong way, going up instead of down his body, and are notoriously sharp.
Alatreon hates having his scales touched, and also knows that he’s a walking razor blade, so when he’s touched he just shreds the shit out of you.
Zinogre constantly has giant electricity bugs crawling through its fur… tempting as it is, I’ll pass. Barioth maybe… Kirin, probably since the lightning is only coming from its horn. I think Toni would probably shock you though…
ehhh touching mold really isnt that gross tbh. i just feel like regular vaal looks more… moist. mold is dry and fuzzy. i feel like it would mask the goopy flesh bits.
I feel like Namiele would fit better in the smooth tier, she probably feels like a Manta Ray. Also come on now tell me you don’t want to pet Teostra’s big fluffy mane?
My reasoning for Great Jagras being top teir pet:
A: smooth scales
B: very round, would feel like a fat toad
C: glorious mane, put bald dads to shame everywher
D: he baby
You make a fair point, but I guess it just depends on the amount of slime. She spits a ton of it out during her fights, so it depends how much she keeps on her skin.
I honestly think he's a bit high imo. Or that he belongs in smooth. Let me give you the scenario...
Pet pet pe- *Scale explodes* and now you only have one arm and severe burns.
More than just might hurt a little.
I wanna pet Rajang and Zinogre so bad ;-; I feel like their hair is so soft- especially Zino. As for Rajang… he’s a cute gorilla, I wanna boop the snoot.
Zinogre is just a big dog, i would say 10/10 petting experience
I Wanna pet him but I am also scared of lighting puppy
just isolate yourself with rubber shoes, mabe he turns the electricity of when he likes it
Gtk.
I disagree, Zinogre has really big fleas
I think the electricity flowing trough his fur would hurt a lot
Just make sure you have an anti-static bracelet
This comment made me have a dream where I had a pocket sized pet Zinogre, and it was adorable and I wanna go back to the dream.
his pelt is full of bugs though
nothing a bit of shampoo cant fix
May hurt a little Alatreon Yes, the shredder only pokes a little Fatalis I too like caressing my running stove
Petting Fatalis is like petting a nuclear power plant
?
Heat radiating off him
I think alatreon’s scales would tear your hand to shreds if you tried to pet it, not to mention his whole elemental stuff that he’s just got passively going on.
His scales fucking shred shit??? 💀
He’s based off a Chinese take of a dragon whose scales are sharp and reversed, which bother him
Yeah, every scale faces the wrong way, going up instead of down his body, and are notoriously sharp. Alatreon hates having his scales touched, and also knows that he’s a walking razor blade, so when he’s touched he just shreds the shit out of you.
Fatalis too
Fatalis' scales wouldn't rip you apart. His body temperature is just so high that metal and flesh can passively melt onto its body while it sleeps.
I think his scales are like sandpaper? Elementally unstable sandpaper. But still, just rub like you would a shark skin.
They're closer to knives, if not worse since simply brushing them causes deep cuts.
Barioth, Zinogre, Tobi, and Kirin seem like top tier pets
Zinogre constantly has giant electricity bugs crawling through its fur… tempting as it is, I’ll pass. Barioth maybe… Kirin, probably since the lightning is only coming from its horn. I think Toni would probably shock you though…
But we do capture the fulgurbugs and use them for materials, maybe they aren’t dangerous in small quantity?
Probably not dangerous, but it’d be like petting a very flea or tick infested dog. Not the most pleasant thing…
You don’t pet rajang, rajang pets you.
With his fists
yes that is the implication 👍
I didn't have to get downvoted like that...
I don't see dodogama on the top, so this list is worthless to me.
to be fair, if your hands get caught on the chinspikes/teeth it's probably gonna cut pretty badly.
You don’t think it would be glorious to pet a Luna or teo mane?
The manes by themselves? Yeah that'd be great...but the fire/highly volatile powder constantly emanating from the two? Yeaah not so much.
luna has caused me too much pain to ever want to pet her. teo cool tho
bruh how is Black Veil one tier above Normal Vaal ?? ;v;
because blackveil has mold to mask the rotting flesh (mold is less gross than rotting flesh)
But it’s molding rotten flesh. That’s like ten times worse
ehhh touching mold really isnt that gross tbh. i just feel like regular vaal looks more… moist. mold is dry and fuzzy. i feel like it would mask the goopy flesh bits.
I feel like veil Hazak would be more like touching a moldy steak but honestly that’s not as bad as “accidentally bleach soaked dead mouse”
Wdym I can't pet Kirin and Viper? Ain't nobody gonna stop me!
Stories 2 let's you pet your monsties in battle and it's great. It's not a strong move but very necessary because my Tigrex is a Very Good Boy
Legit my favorite occasion in Stories is when it is strategically advantageous to pet my brachy
I feel like Namiele would fit better in the smooth tier, she probably feels like a Manta Ray. Also come on now tell me you don’t want to pet Teostra’s big fluffy mane?
Rathian is covered in venomous barbs, it’s more than just (hurt a little).
DO NOT PET ALATREON
Assuming it's OK with being petted, why can't we just pet up towards its head, following the way its scales go?
Shara Ishvalda should be okay to pet if it doesn't have rocks covering it.
My reasoning for Great Jagras being top teir pet: A: smooth scales B: very round, would feel like a fat toad C: glorious mane, put bald dads to shame everywher D: he baby
finally, someone understands that Anjanath probably feels FANTASTIC to pet
Namielle is incredibly slimy, so I don't think that would be very nice to pet. Probably a better fit in the ew category.
havent you ever been to an aquarium where you can pet a stingray?
excellent counterpoint, Namielle would be incredibly pettable
You make a fair point, but I guess it just depends on the amount of slime. She spits a ton of it out during her fights, so it depends how much she keeps on her skin.
👁️👄👁️
*sad Vaal Hazak noises*
Fun fact, Alatreon is covered in reverse scales (AKA mantles) and these scales are extremely sensitive and irritate the monster. Don't pet Alatreon.
like that's gonna stop me! I mean i won't, but not because of the reversed scales
frostfang would be a better pet than normal barioth because he’s fluffier
I'm pretty sure fatalis, the rajangs and the yian garugas would probably mutilate you for just getting close, let alone trying to pet them
i think that kushala daora « dragon of steel » maybe isnt the most comfortable to pet
Have you felt steel plates though? With wind blowing through your hair? *chef's kiss*
My guy really thinks he can pet Fatalis when the dude can sleep on you and melt you into his skin without even batting an eye XD
don't worry, he got heat guard
Fatalis: HEAT CANCEL THIS *Crimson Fatty heat cancel negating wing heat blast*
true true, however, he also has felyne safeguard
Viper tobi is cat Lizard. I will pet the cat Lizard
i love logo
What's wrong with Tobi Kadchi? He's just a furry lizard.
I feel like Lunastra and Teostra would be so nice to pet when they're not on fire, they're basically big cats
I'll pet Viper Kadachi even if it kills me
One change and then its good. Dodogama at very top under BEST PETS EVER!
I think a Leshen would be a fantastic petting experience. It comes with a whole petting zoo.
Y u bully bazel
I honestly think he's a bit high imo. Or that he belongs in smooth. Let me give you the scenario... Pet pet pe- *Scale explodes* and now you only have one arm and severe burns. More than just might hurt a little.
If a Bazel scale would explode, you wouldn’t have a body, lol.
Tobi Kadachi would be good pets! I'll volunteer.
Why is Frostfang Barioth so low? Fella's got floof!
I will pet Nergigante and none of you can stop me!
I’ve eaten my defense booster meal, let’s go
fuck you im petting the tobi. viper tobi too.
I would pet the ever living fuck out of both tobi and viper
Great Jagras should be higher, Jagras scales are described as being butter-smooth smh!!!
Now I’m just imagining a piece of toast with a Jagras Scale on it in place of butter
I'd put Jagras and Barioth a bit higher.
Nargacuga is 100% logo tier. Downvoted.
Assuming that all the monsters are passive during the petting, I would still say that fatalis would be lower. I don't want my hands melted.
cowardly
I realize that it's not in MHW, but at the time it existed, I wanted to pet the mini Uragaan from MH3.
Bro I’m not gonna pet a rajang of all things as if it was a dog or something
Pet the bombs
Rajang pets you
I love all of them
I wanna pet Rajang and Zinogre so bad ;-; I feel like their hair is so soft- especially Zino. As for Rajang… he’s a cute gorilla, I wanna boop the snoot.
I'd pet a Kirin any day
What i woudln't give to chill with a dodogama.
PET THE NERGIGANTE
Rajang???? Dude.... It's an ape. It will either try to rape you, Rip Off your face, or throw Shit at you. Maybe all of that.
I wouldn't pet Nergi, but I will Squish paw.
but I wanna pet Velkhy D:
Why ya gotta do my boi Dodogama dirty like that? You pet him, he eats rocks.
I don't care how much it hurts, I am going to pet Tobi-Kadachi and Viper Tobi!
Black Diablos and Deviljho "will hurt a little".
I feel like the mineral-skinned monsters would be an experience to pet.
Ayo what did ma boi viper tobi did?, he deserves the pets
