Gojira57's Monster Hunter Monster Evolution theory

Note: This will be updated everytime I make new info for the next class.

Hello fellow hunters, it is me! Gojira57! Today, I will be making a series of theories based on the evolution of Monster hunter creatures! So without further ado, lets begin!

Cheliceratas
MH's own version of Spiders, how wonderful. So foar there is only two individuals, Nercylla and it's subspecies. But there is one detail one may miss when theorizing on its ancestor.

Nerscylla has 3 sets of legs, including the barbed Cheliceraes. Normal Arachnids usually have 4 pairs of limbs, suggesting that Nerscylla is not a true spider at all, but rather, it is decended from a group of insects similar to Neopterans.

During it's evolution, Nerscylla may have been an insect that evolved spider like qualities, including the eight eyes and web producing trait. The fact that it has a stinger suggests that it could have been a descended from ants or bees, but its more likely that it evolved this trait seperately. The Extendable jaws are what makes this class very unique, however, as most monsters of Arthropod like classes don't have this feature.

Note, however, that Nerscylla does not replace spiders, as there are still true spiders in the world, the Nerscylla just takes the role of a bigger version of the arachnids mentioned.

The Fact that Nerscylla gets it's toxic venom as a byproduct of feeding on gypceros, as well as the Nerscylla's subspecies getting its paralyzing venom from Khezu, is similar to how monarch butterflies, as caterpillars, get their toxins from the milkweed they eat.

They also wear the skin of their favored prey, to protect themselvs, as a means of camoflauge, and as a means to protect themselves from electrical attacks, something Nerscylla is weak to, which is a very unusual, sinister and gruesome behavior.
