Rather than having to wait for me to draw a Chibi/Creepy/any fartart of a monster before i translate the title, i thought i'd do it all in one go for anyone who might be interested. Apologies for any typos there might be too.

Specifically, i refer to the titles given to the monsters when referring to the Hunting books and, in the case of the Japanese/Chinese version of the game, A part of Item names. While in the English versions of games, when we go hunt a monster like Rathalos, we kill it, carve it and we get "Rathalos Scales" or "Rathalos Shell". In the Japanese versions of the game, we would go hunt "Rio Reus", kill it, carve it and get "Fire Dragon's Scale" or "Fire Dragon's Shell".

Speaking of Rathalos and Fire Dragons, there fruit here www.cockyconure.com/wp-content… are actually called "Fire Dragon Fruit" in Chinese. Therefore, based on these translations, i propose that they become "Rathalos Fruit" in english speaking countries.

Here, i've covered all the 3rd generation monsters and any previous generation monsters that have appeared in Tri, Portable 3rd and also 3G, including all the subspecies also. English names have been provided where available at the time this was made, this was before the english release of 3G/3U so Hapuru/Nibelsnarf, Jinouga/Zinogre, Guran/Miralis and a few others have only their Japanese name. Also, in a few instances, some monsters only have their English where the Japanese name is not much different e.g Dei-a-bo-ro-su/ Diablos... And in hindsight, Evil Joe should be Ibirujyo. ><

All these translations are based on what I know and how i would use the word when speaking. A lot of credit goes to my Mother who helped me read some of the words so that i could hear the pronounciation, and for helping me figure out a good way to explain their meanings in english as close as possible.

One thing I would like to note is that for number of words, there is no direct english word, for example for Aguna Coatl, the middle word is very often mistakenly translated as Halberd as a lot of Chinese polearm weapons are. In this case, the weapon is very specifically a knife mounted on a poll to be like an Axe (Its split at where the blade joins the hilt and mounted on a pole that way in a makeshift manner, so the knife and pole are perpendicular). As far as I know, we don't have a single word for "Knife mounted perpendicularly on a pole so it's an Axe" so i've left it as "Polearm weapon".

Also note that we are Chinese and I'm only assuming Japanese people use these words in the same way as we do and therefore, they would mean the same thing... Otherwise, it would be very confusing for both countries.

Doodles make it look better.

Everything to do with Monster Hunter belongs to Capcom!
