A cool thought that occured to my humble brain a few minutes ago; what if you could PLAY as monsters? And your goal would not be to kill the hunters, but to, like, play a role in the ecological niche as the top predator (or the lowest in the food chain). Then, you would be able to hunt OTHER monsters as well, either for food, a mate, or territorial disputes. Sure, a few extra buttons might be nesecary, but I think it's an awesomesauce idea. Tell me what you guys think. Meow meow out!!!

Could be fun. I remember on PSO that you could play as a dragon boss and kill the other players, fun times. Though i would also like to kill hunters if i would play as a monster in tri, would be hard manouvring though i think

I used to think about playing as a monster too.

It would definitely be cool and a new experience but I had this idea that you pick the type of monster you want to play as (Narga, Rathalos, Cephadrome etc) but you start the game as a baby verison of your chosen monster. Then, like the Monster Hunters do, you have to start off basic and gather supplies and improve yourself.

Of course, since we'd be playing as a monster there would be no "quests" as such, but you could freely explore the different zones and kill other minions and creatures to increase your health and get stronger. Then, when you reach a specific level, you start to grow and turn into the fully-grown version of your monster and you can start performing different abilities (depending on the monster you chose.)

Yeah, sort of like Spore (the game where your creature evolves from cell to space hero.)

@Ce'Nedra: Button combos or running+attacking could work.

Spam one attack after running the hunter into a corner.

I would, but I don't think Capcom, one of the masterminds of gaming, would take suggestions from one small person like me

[pyr4m1dh34d]

this is how they play, in my scenario at least

This seems like a very good idea, but as I said before, the game should focus on an ecological story, not hunting. And depending what monster you are, the button controls will be slightly different (such as the difference between Rathalos and Basarios). But don't get me worng, this seems very nice! And pardon me for sounding stupid, but did you say this is a real game? I am rather confused (and my brain gears are in overdrive).

[pyr4m1dh34d]

Basically, its a scenario if capcom want to add more spice to their game
Rather than using AI as pilot, we are allowed to pilot monster
And in this scheme, your win/ loss are recorded to determine how good is a player on pvp quedt

Yeah It was a stupid suggestion on my part but your idea is great, it would add a great aspect to the monster hunter series, although it might deviate from the monster hunter theme but I would be great as a side game..

This would be pretty interesting especially when played online. You'll be one of the monsters while your friends are the hunters. haha. That's freakin' awesome.
Just imagine you and your friend are the Rathalos and Rathian while the other 4 players are the hunters, that would be cool and fun.

This, lmao. A monster's greatest threat is its own poor A.I.
