what the hell is magnamalos niche and what is you least favorite monster non frontier and isn’t a small monster

Judging by the excessive defenses it was probably preyed upon by a larger monster in the past that’s now extinct, so it was technically a mesopredator that is now an apex predator.

As for least favorite it’s probably a tie between kirin, green plesioth, bishanten, lunastra, and velkhana. But even then there’s redeeming features to them.

what do you think the monsterverse ion dragon is supposed to be and it’s ecology

Ion dragon is probably a triphibious mesopredator that caches excess food for harder times. Doesn’t really excel in any one medium (air, land, water) but has access to a ton of potential prey. It does need to watch out for larger kaiju since it can’t really put up much of a fight against something bigger than it.

As for what it is, it’s a little hard to say because it’s a bit chimeric, but I hesitantly want to say Godzilla relative.

I have to ask what are are your opinions on how the monsterverse handles the hollow earth

I really don’t like it

They set it up to be something like a massive worldwide cave network, not the weird literal hollow earth with weird gravity and a sun they gave us. It just clashed with the tone of everything that came before.

what’s your thoughts on the monsterverse so far

Mixed honesty.

Skull island was the most solid movie so far and the movies are pretty fun, but for every advancement an installment in the monsterverse makes it also shoots itself in the foot and cripples the next one in some way too.

It does have my favorite Rodan and mechagodzilla designs as well as my favorite incarnation of kong.

It also feels really weird for godzilla to be surrounded by a bunch of new Hollywood monsters and not his usual pantheon. I know it’s for licensing reasons but it just makes him feel like a guest star in his own setting.

We’re do you think hellhawk from the monsterverse fall on the tree of life

Probably a theropod of some kind, although it’s position relative to birds is entirely dependent on if all of its wing digits are actual fingers or is some are jointed styliforms

I looked at the new pikmin 4 enemies the grubchuker and snootwhacker I had to wonder why would something evolved to have its mouth on top of its head and what the hell are the snootwackers supposed to be

I honestly thought the grubchuckers had symbiotic anemones on their heads

Also snooty hackers are probably meant to be elephants, but there’s some problems with this. If they’re meant to be descended from real existing elephants and not a fictional small species, then the issues are that super huge megafauna doesn’t fare well during extinction events/climate change and their long lifespans mean they evolve slower. It is possible that they’re descended from either Asian or African elephants that just got smaller and smaller, but a Pig is also a viable option. Possibly one related to the false blowhog.
