Bug collecting is particularly common among Japanese youths,so its no surprise they decided to make the Insect Staff to help get more sales for the game. Even Pokemon was inspired by bug collecting. So in retrospect, the Insect Staff user is the closet thing in being a pokemon trainer in the MH world. Miss Monster Hunter 2 PvP Arena much anyone? lol

Oh! Remember when we thought the bugs might be mechanical..that would have been awesome. click the link. http://insectlabstudio.com/wp-content/uploads/lg-gallery/Beetles/Black%20Rhino.jpg

Since there is always a another version of a weapon class (switch axe to charge axe, sword and shield to dual swords, etc ) There is always a small chance we could get a bird version with a weapon that blocks...

Wyvern Comrades in Monster hunter Frontier are is the closet thing you can get for being a bird keeper...

The insect latched on the hunter gives me a mosquito or tick on my arm feeling i can't stand...
