Join our discussion as we delve into the uncharted territories of Monster Hunter Wilds! Nic seeks guidance on the best monster to hunt, while Brendan shares his enthusiasm for the challenging Nu Udra and its treacherous environment. Ollie reminisces about his first encounter with the Yian Kut-Ku, highlighting the satisfaction of beating a formidable foe. As we explore the world of Monster Hunter, we'll also tackle deeper questions about consent, self-expression, and the moral implications of playing predator to these fantastical creatures. Will our hunters find a way to respect the dinosaurs' desires, or will the thrill of the hunt prevail?
Key Points
Consent in Predation: Is it morally justifiable to consume a dinosaur that has explicitly expressed a desire to be eaten, and if so, what implications does this have on our understanding of animal rights?
Involuntary Craftsmanship: If a dinosaur requests that its gall bladder be used to create a hat, should we prioritize its wishes over our own desires for fashion or artistic expression?
Gall Bladder Anarchy: If the gall bladder has opposing opinions on the matter, how can we fairly accommodate its conflicting desires while still respecting the original request?

Original Article
Is it wrong to eat a dinosaur that wants to be eaten? What if it asks you to make a little hat out of its gall bladder? What if the gall bladder has different opinions on the matter? Discover the answers to these and more as our merry band of conservation enthusiasts/trophy hunters discuss Monster Hunter Wilds!
Nic:Life, the absolute bastard, has kept me away from the Monst. Let me experience it through you. What's the best Monst so far?
Brendan: I am fond of the squiddy critters that slop about. The Nu Udra is a giant gloopy octopus that feels like a stand-out fight partly because of its many, many arms, but also because of the environment you fight it in. It's horrible (in a fun way) to wade about in the oil of this region, and try to avoid the flames that inevitably start to spread. Another later squid-like beast has some horrible knifey hands at the end of its tentacles, but I'll let the readers discover the rest of that creep's tactics by themselves.
Ollie: I'm partial to the Yian Kut-Ku myself. It was the very first monster I ever fought in any Monster Hunter, back in the days of Monster Hunter Freedom on my PSP. And all these years later, I still recognised all its moves, and it made the whole act of beating up the big fire-breathing chicken even more enjoyable and satisfying than it already was.
