User blog comment:Lord Loss/Monster Hunter Theory... Blog/@comment-2214216-20131122145056

I don't know whether this has been aske or not in this thread, so I'll just go ahead and ask:

Why are the hunters so strong? They can:

- Carry/lift/swing massive weapons.

- Take no damage when falling from high places.

- Can be knocked off from even high places, fall on their back and not suffer any damage.

- Survive blows that would crush a human or most creatures to a pulp even when wearing an armour.

All the information I found about wyverians only mention 3 things that might be used as a theory: they have probably been around longer than mankind, they might have been as tall as wyvenrs in early ages and that, or they might be a mutant-offshoot of mankind possessing altered genes.

Assuming they might have been as tall as wyverns would explain the source of strength (tiny wyverian blacksmith swinging a massive hammer, anyone?). But hunters, at least the ones we play as look human, why's that? My theory is that hunters are offsprings between Wyverians and Humans, which would be why each hunter looks like a human and are so strong.

I might be way off my mind here. Anyone has more information on this?
