=====|====================VERSION DETAILS============================/
|==============================================================/
As you can see, the Version is still listed as FINAL.  However, you
can also see I did some cosmetic changes.  I got rid of blocks of
text and added new dividers.  This could very well be my last bit
of attention to this guide.

This guide is now, in my opinion complete.  I do not have the time to
answer any more questions or make any alterations.  It is with great
regret to inform you that contacting me will yield no luck in getting
answers.  Sorry.

=====|====================ONLINE INFORMATION=========================/

I barely play this game online anymore.  I'm too busy with other things

Sorry, I no longer am helping new players.  As of 21 March 2005, I'm
retired.  But if by chance you catch me on and I'm in the mood for
questing, of course I'll go along.  Usually if I'm on, I'm playing
with a friend and will go provided there's room for my friend as well.
I'm a fair guy.
III) |========================================================================/
=====|==============================INTRODUCTION=============================/
|======================================================================/
Okay, this is my first guide ever.  I came up with the idea since I’ve seen
nothing for a FAQ or guide here on GameFAQs.  I hope to include all the
monsters, items from the monsters, and combinations in the game by the time
I'm finished.  I hope you enjoy this guide.
IV)  |========================================================================/
=====|============================WEAPON TREES===============================/
|======================================================================/
Okay, I've finally decided to add this.  I've gotten tons of questions
regarding this, as you can see from my FAQ section, so here you have it.
This tells you what paths go to what weapons, but not the materials required
to make them.  Sorry if that's any inconvenience, but there are plenty of other
guides that address the materials.  My personal favorite of these, are the ones
that Sanjuro has made for us.
I've divided them by numbered section so here's a little table of contents
sort of:

=====|===========================MONSTER DATABASE============================/
|======================================================================/
Okay, here’s the Monster Database.  It is now complete.  In this section you
will be able to find information about the various creatures you will come
across in the game, as well as what you can carve from them.  Knowing your
prey is the first step towards becoming a real hunter!
I've added my own personal hunter notes on all the creatures you will face
on your quest to become the best Monster Hunter of them all!
No. 1
Name: Mosswine
Wild pigs covered in moss and fungus. Sometimes you will even find mushrooms
growing on them. Their meat is known as a delicacy. Though normally docile,
they will charge you if angered!
Number of carves: 1
Carve items (Offline and HR 1-12):
Special Mushroom - 15%
Blue Mushroom - 30%
Raw Meat - 30%
Blue Mushroom - 15%
Raw Meat - 8%
Special Mushroom - 2%
Carve items (HR 13+):
Special Mushroom - 15%
Blue Mushroom - 30%
Raw Meat - 30%
Blue Mushroom - 20%
Mosswine Hide - 4%
Mosswine Head - 1%
===============================================================================
*Note:  As you can see the Mosswine is actually pretty useful in the
early stages of the game.  You can get easy money by carving
off Special Mushrooms, but also if you're low on health in a
quest, you can carve off a valueable Blue Mushroom and mix
it with an Herb so you can get a Potion.
===============================================================================
No. 2
Name: Bullfango
A large wild boar. Foul tempered, they will charge hunters on sight. They
are aggressive and powerful, so beware! They are often hunted for their
meat, which many hunters find delicious.
Number of carves: 1
Carve items (Offline and HR 1-12):
Raw Meat - 15%
Bullfango Pelt - 30%
Bullfango Pelt - 30%
Raw Meat - 15%
Raw Meat - 8%
Bullfango Pelt - 2%
Carve items (HR 13+):
Raw Meat - 15%
Bullfango Pelt - 30%
Bullfango Pelt - 30%
Raw Meat - 16%
Raw Meat - 8%
Bullfango Head - 1%
===============================================================================
*Note:  The Bullfango are the most annoying creatures in the entire
game.  However, at times they can be useful.  If you're
fighting a wyvern that's in the same area as Bullfango, you
can make the Bullfango charge into the wyvern, giving you
an upperhand on the battle.
===============================================================================
No. 3
Name: Kelbi
A herbivorous, deer-like monster. Valued for their horns, they tend to
run away at the first hint of danger. They are also hunted for their meat,
which is chewy but flavorful.
Number of carves: 1
Carve items (offline and HR 1-12 as well as HR 13+):
Kelbi Horn - 25%
Kelbi Hide - 30%
Kelbi Horn - 30%
Kelbi Horn - 5%
Raw Meat - 8%
Kelbi Hide - 2%
===============================================================================
*Note:  I have nothing to say on the Kelbi.  There really isn't any
note worth special mention on them except... well except
"OH NO!  YOU KILLED BAMBI!"
===============================================================================
No. 4
Name: Aptonoth
Mainly hunted for food, these monsters are preyed upon by both hunter
and monster alike. Timid unless in a pack, when some may defend themselves
with surprising strength.
Number of carves: 2
Carve items (offline and HR 1-12):
Sm Monster Bone - 15%
Sm Monster Bone - 30%
Raw Meat - 30%
Raw Meat - 15%
Sm Monster Bone - 8%
Raw Meat - 2%
Carve items (HR 13+):
Sm Monster Bone - 15%
Sm Monster Bone - 30%
Raw Meat - 30%
Raw Meat - 15%
Sm Monster Bone - 8%
Raw Meat - 2%
===============================================================================
*Note:  These are useful creatures if you need some Raw Meat to make
a Well-Done Steak during a quest.  But that's obvious.
===============================================================================
No. 5
Name:  Apceros
Hunted for their meat, which is buried under a thick, armored hide.
Aggressive compared to the Aptonoth, hunting them can be a challenge.
Apceros eggs are a valuable guild commodity.
Number of carves: 2
Carve items (offline and HR 1-12):
Med Monster Bone - 15%
Sm Monster Bone - 30%
Raw Meat - 30%
Raw Meat - 15%
Med Monster Bone - 8%
Raw Meat - 2%
Carve items (HR 13+)
Med Monster Bone - 15%
Med Monster Bone - 30%
Raw Meat - 30%
Raw Meat - 15%
Sm Monster Bone - 8%
Raw Meat - 2%
===============================================================================
*Note:  The Aptonoth are an easy way to get Med Monster Bones without
having to fight a big bad wyvern if you're trying to build up
a weapon.
===============================================================================
No. 6
Name: Felyne
Cat-like humanoids with white fur. Normally quiet unless angered, in which
case they may attack. Capable of speech, they are sometimes found in the
employ of humans.
Number of carves: 0
Carve items:
None
===============================================================================
*Note:  There's nothing bad about these cats.  They're friendly, until
you vent your anger out on them and hurt them in any way.
They'll gang up on you with their little pickaxes of doom, and
even suicide bomb you.
===============================================================================
No. 7
Name: Melynx
Cat-like humanoids with black fur. Being sticky-fingered they won't pass up
a chance to steal things and take them back to their village. Easily
distracted by the site of Felvine.
Number of carves: 0
Carve items:
None
===============================================================================
*Note:  These are the horrible kitties.  They annoy you during a quest
by running up to you, and get this, stealing your items!  The
best way to combat this is to kill them all before a wyvern
comes into an area.  To prevent them from stealing things of
use to you, always carry Felvine.  They love it, and will only
steal that.
===============================================================================
No. 8
Name: Velociprey
Aggressive, carnivorous monsters that often travel in packs. Even a master
hunter should take care not to become surrounded! Wide ranging, they are
found in many different climates.
Number of carves: 1
Carve items (Offline and HR 1-12):
Velociprey Fang - 15%
Velociprey Scale - 30%
Velociprey Fang - 30%
Velociprey Hide - 15%
Velociprey Hide - 8%
Velociprey Hide - 2%
Carve items (HR 13+):
Velociprey Hide - 15%
Velociprey Scale - 30%
Velociprey Hide - 30%
Velociprey Fang - 15%
Velociprey Fang - 8%
Velociprey Fang - 2%
===============================================================================
*Note:  Annoying pack hunters.  When they are alone or not in the
same area as the wyvern you're fighting, they're fine.  You
just run by them and ignore them.  But when they're in packs
when you're trying to mine or gather, or in the same area
with a wyvern they can get quite deadly.  You can use them
to your advantage just like the Bullfango, though.
===============================================================================
No. 9
Name:  Velocidrome
The alpha monster that leads a Velociprey pack.  They are larger and
have a more prominent crest.  Highly territorial, but will retreat
to a safe place when injured to recover.
Number of carves: 2
Carve items (Offline and HR 1-12):
Velociprey Scale - 15%
Velociprey Hide - 30%
Velocidrome Claw - 30%
Velocidrome Claw - 15%
Velocidrome Claw - 8%

*Note:  Velocidromes are basically more powerful version of the
Velociprey.  They're really not that radically different or
special.  However, they can call for back-up just by roaring.
When they're at about 70-80% health they'll try to leave the
area.  A good way of preventing this is just tossing a Flash
Bomb and stunning it so you can continue to beat up on it
without having to worry about chasing after it.

way to defeat him is take a powerful lance, like the Ogre
Tusk, and just stab away at his wings.  He really won't get
a chance to move that way.

part of an ongoing discussion on what he really looks like.

elaborate on it further.  And contrary to what many people
believe, Khezu IS weak versus Fire.

*Note:  A very tough wyvern.  CAPCOM seems to have messed up a bit on
the hit zone of his tail, so unfortunately, you can get hit
by it if you're really not even that close to it.  Be careful.
His major weakness is, you got it, Lightning!  Also remember
that Sonic Bombs are your friend on a Plesioth since it'll
get him out of the water.  Also Frogs are good to have to
lure him out as well.  The sign that it is weakening is
you will see its fin collapse.
