In my Monster Hunter World: Iceborne column, I asked myself why we chase and kill the creatures in the game at all. What if we lived in peace with them, maybe even understood them? The Twitter account @RathalosSays provides a very humorous answer: We probably should listen to a lot then.
Grumpy dragon: That's what Rathalos says on Twitter
The Twitter account is not officially from developer Capcom, but from a fan. He creates short clips in which he Rathalos animated and synchronized
The short videos often refer to Monster Hunter and the behavior of the hunters, which Rathalos gets on the nerves. For example, players like to place bombs next to the sleeping creatures, which the dragon of course has little understanding for:
OMG LET ME SLEEP. God damn hunters … #SFM #MonsterHunter pic.twitter.com/9kU0ajR0fy

Rathalos doesn't just hate hunters, he can't really make friends with birds either. There should be a similar relationship as with the dinosaurs. And also he can't really get excited about the Iceborne addon

The good guy is also a little clumsy. Maybe someone will come to his aid if he's a little friendlier?
Yup, that's me. You're probably wondering how I ended up in this situation. #SFM

How are the videos made?
3D Animator is for the clips argodaemon responsible, who also maintains the Twitter account. He uses the Source Filmmaker (SFM), which is available as a public beta for free on Steam. The program comes from Valve itself and is used by the company Movies in the source engine to create. If you want, you can theoretically cut funny videos yourself.
By the way, even more interesting Twitter pearls are provided by a new account, which reveals what lies behind the waterfalls in different games.
