Description These two are Mossa (Scaly Jell) and Balio (Mask Worm). Two of my best monsters from Monster Rancher 1. Balio is even stronger than my dear old Tusky. The new generation on my Ranch is something to fear. XD

(Story coming up, skip if you find ranching stories boring)
Just about everyone knows that I love Worms and train a lot of them so Balio really needs no explaination...but there's a story about Mossa. Y'see, Phish (my brother) challenged me to a little ranching contest. Since I hated Jells and he really liked them, and I loved Worms and he isn't too fond of them, the challenge was for us to raise one of the other's favourite monster and at the end of their lifespan we would fight them to see which was the best. I accepted (he was always ragging on my Worms XD).
So I found a CD with a Jell on it and took my new monster to the ranch. I didn't expect this monster to go anywhere at all (and everytime I do that, the monster turns out awesome XD) I had little faith in Jells, but I just -HAD- to beat Phish at his own game.
7 monster years later and Mossa has beaten S class, skewered the dragon to get me the dragon claw (whoot), found all of the Henger pieces (Hengers are hard to get in MR1), found the golden peach and helped me get a Magic.
Let's just say that Phish dropped out of our competition right there without even starting.
-END STORY-

So anyway...I wanted to draw these two because they weren't in my first picture (y'know, the one with my favourite old MR1 monsters?)
When I drew this picture I was wondering if Worms or Nagas eating smoked snake would be cannibalistic in a way? XD
...and when Jells eat, why can't you see it? They're clear o_o
...and Jells are a pain in the butt to colour. X_X
....and Worms are difficult to draw correctly, thus explaining the wonky right tusk and uneven eyes. X_x
...and no, Balio wasn't named after my Gadio/Gali hybrid....the Gadio/Gali hybrid was named after him. XD

*END LONG DESCRIPTION*

When I saw the thumbnail and title I almost thought the Worm was going to eat the Jell. XD But the picture looks very nice, it has that 3D cel-shaded look!

Worms haven't been in a MR game since MR2, sadly.
I wish they'd bring them back along with the Monols and Galis. They were my favourite monsters <3

Thank you. =}

The Ducken was funny.
There are a few monsters they added that I'm not too fond of, though, like the Ogyo.

The DS versions aren't that great gameplay-wise. Most of the sub breeds are just sprite recolours, too.

to a point, he kinda freaks me out XD
i don't mine some of the different forms of the Ogyo the one i really don't like is the Mogi I will never raise one of them XP

that's to bad the DS ones sounded like they might of helped the franchise they have at least 3 of the old monsters but MR 2 has to be the best one hands down with the selection of monsters alone (there are so many that I forgot about D: [link] ) they could of at least kept worm and Zilla -_-

Awesome picture, congrats! I saw it whilst searching for something, and recognized the two from Monster Rancher
I used to watch the series, but I also used to have the first game, which friggin' rocked! Unfortunatley, I haven't been able to play it for about 4-5 years, and I really miss it. My best Monster was one I nicknamed 'Dinoman.'

Very nice line art and coloring. They look like they're right out of the game. =O I've only raised a few Jells, but Worms are teh awesome monsters. X3

And I've had that falling in love with monsters you don't like happen before. XD One time I accidentally kept a Mushtan(Plant/???) on MR4, and I was all bummed out about it. He grew up to be a bloody terror, and killed almost everything he fought.

Heehee, the same thing happened to me with my first Worm (Tusky)...and a Tram on Monster Rancher 2 (I hated the Colorpandoras until Phish forced me to raise one, which turned out completely pwnsome. XD)

I shall never underestimate another monster! ...or at least I will try not to.

I'm raising a monol at the moment. I don't think there is any monster harder to underestimate than an unremarkable slab of rock. XD

MintyDreams7 In reply to stijik [2006-01-09 10:14:07 +0000 UTC]

I underestimated the Monols at first too...until I raised one. XD They just look so boring and well...sucky, but they are something to fear! =O
With my army of Worms and Monols I shall crush (in the case of Monols, literally) all who stand in my way!
