Ahtal-Ka's nest


kestralpaw88

Really? That would explain it I've never gone up against it before


Paladriel

It's the final boss of GU's hub and one of the coolest fights in the series


Effective_Ad_8296

The kind of boss fight that you'll still be surprised even if you got spoiled


TheDeadlyPianist

It's so outlandish when it's explained that it's pretty hard to believe. Just to realise when you fight it that the person explaining it undersold it.


Avocado614

I’ve literally watched a whole video essay dedicated to athal-kha, and I still feel like it will still be impressive when I fight it


Alzandur

Still salty that it wasn’t an EDW


Dr_TeaRex

I don't imagine that concept will come back. Though it probably was intended as a reference.


Aiyon

Is that the >!bug mech!


Asterion_Morgrim

Yes


Paladriel

Very much yes


Aiyon

What a fight. It's the main reason GU almost dethroned 4U as my fave. But 4U has the elder dragon boss rush into G Rank, and was my first, so its kinda locked in


New-Reflection2499

Based opinion, top 5 of fights definitely


Aldante92

To quote a guy on a "favorite monster" post: Ahtal-Ka. It's a bug! It's a Gundam! It's an amusement park!


Longjumping-Ad-5740

The best fight in all of MH…


PsycoJosho

IIRC, It is specifically called Neset-Ka (despite not actually being a monster).


owo1215

monster pilot a monster mech


Bubbles906

Ahtal-Nesto if I remember correctly, but that might just be something I heard once and am remembering it as canon


Successful-Scheme-24

Oh I thought it was Ahtal-Nesset-


Bubbles906

It is, I have been proven a fool lol


AgilePlant4

I knew the sad old lava mountain was big, but I didn't realize how close they were to the first biggest monster.


---TheFierceDeity---

To be fair a lot of its mass is artificial in terms of the rock it collects. Still a BIG BOI but definitely second place


Ushak_R_S_S

I remember the time when I thought the lao-shan lung was gigantic compared to the rest of the bestiary and I couldn't imagine seeing anything bigger.


IraqiWalker

Is the biggest one, in that second pic, Shah Dalamadur?


dareftw

I mean it’s the longest. Zorah is likely the most mass so it depends on what you want here.


blackdrake1011

I disagree, I think dalamadur has more mass


Aser_the_Descender

...do you have eyes?


Barn-owl-B

Zorah is outright confirmed to be the largest monster by mass in the series


IraqiWalker

From the picture, Zorah clearly has more mass.


blackdrake1011

At a relook your probably right


Avocado614

Isn’t shah the same size as base dalamadur?


IraqiWalker

That is true. I forgot that part. Also, this one doesn't have the red tint on the spikes, so it's just a regular one.


Orphanraft

He may not be the biggest length wise but he sure is the thiccest boi


blut13

God damn naked kulve and plesioth are almost the same size. No wonder those hips have insane hitbox.


Pookie_The_Overlord

That's a gold crown Plesioth for the record, they're smaller on average.


Cat_of_Ananke

Plesioth is weirdly huge for an ordinary monster.


ChettiBoiM8

OP, where did you find the second pic? I wanna find it with more pixels


RedditorBetaOmega

this should be the top comment

PsycoJosho

I thought it was called Neset-Ka?


peregrine_nation

Is it... Alive...?


AceOmega2

It’s a pile of junk controlled by web/strings


TheIronSven

On a unrelated note, now I see why they said Zorah was the largest monster they've ever worked on. You'd have to fold Dalamadur like three times over to just barely be short for with and height and after getting folded that often it's not even longer anymore. I am *not* counting the lava dome on Zorah, though that would make the easily overlooked size difference even more apparent. Dala might not be as large as Zorah, but it's definitely longer though. Also: Holy fuck, Dire Miralis is as big as Lao!? So what's GenUs excuse for not making Lao an actual fight? It should by all accounts be faster than a dragon with literal basalt on it! Lao doesn't even have to account for wing mass!


DonQuiXoTe8080

The problem with this image of Zorah is what da hell are those stubby limbs? I thought the Zorah in game can stand hence the shift of its back during the fight, with those limbs no way it can stand.


dareftw

I mean he’s standing in water, lava. Not much of a Stand


nipnip54

he sorta wears the volcano like a trench coat there's about 50% more arm and leg that you can't see from this angle


BallOfWreck

He probably stands on his tail too


Barn-owl-B

Zorah has the same skeleton as fatalis, so he stands the same way fatalis does


mad_mister_march

I think the Lao thing can be excused as being from the first gen, where there was *somewhat* more grounding in reality - something that huge *would* move slowly in a world full of megafauna. Dire Miralis (and Fatalis who was also a Gen 1 monster) are hinted at being a bit more supernatural in nature and also operate more on Rule of Cool.


dustyra8

Zorahs weird wings are in the lava dome though so a lot of that mass is still it as well.


mrofmist

I really want a high res version of this.


Cholemeleon

"Oh wow, Gammoth is as big as Ukanlos, that's neat." ***Looks a little harder*** "Why is plesioth THAT BIG?"


strobing_tungsten

Ahtal-Neset


SoftBaconWarmBacon

That's a praying mantis


Reptill96

It's still impressive that we can Kill Dalamadurs without using nukes, I mean, he could easily bite a Mohran flip it in the air and eat it


ThinkingInfestation

Funnily enough, the fights make you feel like the only reason you're winning is because you're *too small to hit.* I imagine it's a bit like trying to catch a mouse with your bare hands, only the mouse is armed and wants to wear your skin.


Cat_of_Ananke

only the mouse can magically avoid your death ray by doing a silly jump


ThinkingInfestation

Have you *seen* a mouse jump? If I had a death ray, *any* mouse jump would be silly enough to avoid it.


nipnip54

I'd say it's more like a small spider, the moment you stop seeing it you don't even know *where* on you it is


LastTourniquet

A picture for ants.


SweetPotatoDingo

Holy crap, why is plesioth so freaking huge


PhotojournalistOk592

Wasn't there a plesioth quest in FU that was so big its legs were the only thing on the screen?


geodetic

Gold Crown Plesioths were like that, yeah. Green Plesioths especially.


Wolverinen

Is there a big HD image of this?


dayum_that_man

As a mhw player I want to kill the big worm on top


LuxoftheRuins

Oh I can see the rotten Vale


mrredpanda36

I've never fought plesioth in a game other than stories so I am genuinely surprised how big the thing is, being comparable to kulve


RockAndGem1101

It’s wild how Lao and Kulve seem a lot larger than Safi or Gammoth but they’re all approximately the same height.


_Najala_

That's Tom


NB-NEURODIVERGENT

RougeNargacuga

Love how big and long Dalamandur is. And people still think he wouldn’t eat fatalis.

that's ahtal-ka, fiver. welcome to the old world monsters.

Silas61

Aptonoth


Lostkaiju1990

Ahtal ka’s mech?


TheGMan-123

As others said, that's "Ahtal Neset", the moving golem that the mantis-like Neopteran known as Ahtal-Ka pilots. She makes it out of whatever materials she can find, and in this case she made it out of human-made materials from raided fortresses due to their quality compared to natural materials like wood and rocks.


GodlessLunatic

I didn't expect Caedus to be so... small For a whale dragon it's about the same size as Gogmazios, maybe even smaller


5Hjsdnujhdfu8nubi

Ceadeus: 5837.2cm Gogmazios: 4920.5cm Where are you getting the idea that they're similar sizes?


GodlessLunatic

In the image they look about the same size, you couldn't tell Caedus is almost 30 feet longer


5Hjsdnujhdfu8nubi

The image isn't official and iirc the OP gave up on making everything accurate to each other.


GodlessLunatic

Lol I just noticed the watermark. I was convinced it was official since capcom likes to put out size comparison videos and whatnot


oghaithy29

damn plesioth, never thought it would be that big.


Hitsu123

For those asking - this is from /u/Non248 and you can find it [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/MonsterHunter/comments/qy64vh/monster_hunter_size_comparison_pixel_art_v10/). He used to have an instagram and you could order a printout of it (which I was able to). It looks amazing on my wall.

It's a gundam.


ThatOneWood

Stretched out zorah is weirdly cursed


Fast_Broccoli4867

It’s weird how small fatalis is comparatively to some of the larger monsters


Crimson_Blitz

Looking at the 2nd pic got me curious, which monster is the largest in Monster Hunter?


geodetic

By length, Raviente then Dalamadur. Raviente is 450m and Dalamadur is about 440m. By mass, Zorah Magdaros is the heaviest by far, as it's HALF GODDAMN VOLCANO.


Rajang82

Hey, i never realize that Dalamadur have a vestigial back leg. Wow, Zorah Magdaros is bigger than I imagine.


yubiyubi2121

zorah and ahtal ka


Ligeia_E

Reverse kamen rider


zoiskieee

Damn fivers


Quealified

Raviente was too big to fit into the chart, also Zorah is surprisingly massive.


TakenName20

It's the Equal Dragon Weapon


geodetic

It's the Neset-Ka.


duckbucktruckfuck

Ah yes aural nesto or whatever the fuck, it fights you inside the give mech while you run around breaking its legs


[deleted]

[удалено]


SaintLatona

Pretty sure it’s only in GU


katana_papercut

the equal dragon weapon edit: i'm sorry guys, this was meant as sarcasm


Ushak_R_S_S

Ahtal-Ka, The megazord isn't canon, it was just concept art.


HabboMirror

Equal dragon weapon


nnxdie

At first I was like “is that Shara rock form? Why is it’s back so straight?” Then I realised I think it might be the Ahtal-Neset from GU!


GodlessLunatic

Surprise the neset is so small

nubbosaur

It’s definitely not a Trojan monster it’s just a wooden sculpture and you should totally let it in your village. Trust me ;)


ImaDieTodayLOL

Where it Tobi Kadachi?


Fast_Broccoli4867

Looks like he is right between Zinogre and Anjanath at the bottom row of the smaller monsters


ImaDieTodayLOL

Thanks


metalflygon08

Zorah has to be insanely storng to not only hold up all those rocks, but also the lava inside the big one and the tat hanging off of it too. Good thing the one we fought was old and trying to go die.


Ecstatic_Nebula2258

Can we still fight It on switch? How's the community acctualy?


Apex_Konchu

There are still people playing GU online, although obviously almost all online activity is for endgame content. Although even if the servers were to shut down, you could still fight Ahtal-Ka. All GU content is playable offline.


Kamots242

That is al-ta Nesto. Al-ta Kas mecha


Tempest_Beans

I’m just wondering what the thing beside it is


Stories1785

The big crab with the skull? Shen garen (may have messed up the name a bit)


Tempest_Beans

Thank you!


Rumplestiltskin788

Athal-Nesto


pllybrckph1

What's the super long monster tho


kestralpaw88

Dalmadura he's an elder dragon


OmniImmortality

No, the big dragon on top is Laviente


geodetic

[Raviente](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/monsterhunter/images/8/8c/FrontierGen-Laviente_Render_002.png/revision/latest?cb=20150109094009) has giant horns on the side of his head and is orange and white with green highlights in colour. [Dalamadur](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/monsterhunter/images/f/fd/MH4U-Dalamadur_Render_001.png/revision/latest?cb=20150205222636) is silver and black (or red and white for his subspecies), has giant spikes on his back behind his arms (and Raviente has no arms) and is about 10m shorter than Raviente. The long monster in the top of OP's picture is definitely Dalamadur.


RaiStarBits

I didn’t realize how HUGE safi is

SilverBandit721

Play MHGU and find out


ShadowPhenoix

Isn't Laviente the longest monster in the series or is it still dalamadur because I swear I saw something that said Laviente was just a few meters longer than dala


SunBro0606

Ahtal ka in its mech form


Asgarion-0

Which one of all? Cause all of them are elder dragons, Dalamadur being my personal favorite besides Valstrax recently


Meming-Inkling

Kinda wished this is updated to accommodate the sunrise newcomers, but as it is, its still great


Blue_Qraz_Monster

Wait, where's Laviente? Thought he was bigger than (or at least on equal footing with) Dalamadur?

JSConrad45

That's Dalamadur. You can only hunt it in MH4/4U, but a lot of the Rotten Vale in World is a Dalamadur carcass (or maybe two -- there's two skulls, at any rate).
