User blog comment:Lord Loss/Monster Hunter Theory... Blog/@comment-4003956-20120423163831

The low gravity theory just doesn't sit right with me.

Creatures grow with their surroundings, so to say that lower gravity would allow them to do more is just reddiculous, unless you mean to tell me that all of the creatures were born on a different planet with higher gravity and then somehow found a way to this new, lower gravity planet.

Also, if you notice, the hunters only jump as high as a normal person can (see SnS jump attack or running terrain jump). That said, I do understand hwo much weight they are carrying, but that brings me to my own theory.

I think that the Hunters are a kind of genetic super human(oid) that is naturally stronger than the other human(oid)s. In the 8* guild quest "Attack of the Rathalos", an "entire war band was wiped out by a wyvern", so they call 1-4 Hunters to go deal with the problem.

I suspect that Hunters are born with near indestructable bone, or it hardens to that point as they age, which would explain why they can take rediculous falls, land on their neck, and get back up without a second thought. It would also explain how they could have a mountian of a monster land straight on their head and they can hop up and resume fighting.

I would also have to say that their muscles are very efficient, able to output near 100% of their potential power, which would be impossible for normal humans due to the fact that our bones would turn to dust, but being entirely possible for Hunters with their near indestructable bones.
