There's smth with the rider in mhs3 I've been noticing a lot of and no one has seemingly said anything weirdly....are they an empath? Or more connected to wyverians then we realize? Maybe wyverian blood in em?
the protagonist-rider in Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection displays a form of direct emotional/mental resonance with monsters. During the encounter and face-off with the colossal Elder Dragon Yama Tsukami, the rider explicitly states, "and yet within the beast dwells anger, despair... what's more I feel its hate", demonstrating a supernatural or heightened empathetic capacity to sense a monster's inner emotional turmoil, Early in the narrative, the rare Skyscale Rathalos egg hatches into twins, but they are quickly separated. During this time, the Rider experiences a sharp, physical feedback loop through their Kinship Stone. It isn't just grief over losing a companion; the dialogue describes a literal "phantom ache," showing that the Rider's nervous system is fundamentally mirrored with the Twin Rathalos, and While Princess Eleanor and your Palico Rudy react to the danger of the physical attacks, the Rider's mid-battle callouts include lines like: "It’s too loud... they’re screaming for it to stop," or "They aren't trying to fight us, they're trying to escape themselves." Like tf? And also When your journey forces you to venture into the forbidden lands beyond the Meridian, the sheer volume of environmental distress and dying ecosystems drastically affects the Rider. In these areas, the dialogue shifts significantly. The protagonist begins suffering from exhaustion, describing a sensory overload caused by "feeling" the collective panic of the local fauna facing extinction, and I know for a fact it ain't the stone, cuz they felt this stuff BEFORE THEY EVEN HAD A STONE SMTH IS GOING ON I SWEAR-
