Arkveld is really smart when you think about it design wise.
Ghosts don’t exist in Monster Hunter, so how would they make a ghost flagship (who recall, is titled “The White Wraith”)?
Obviously there’s the design, a wyvern whose wrists look shackled and bound by broken chains, a shaggy white coat of fur and cloaked wings… It’s chains burning with ghostly white flames before turning to a bloody, vengeful red.
Yeah yeah design is awesome… But lore! How does Arkveld lorewise connect to a ghost?
Simple… Arkveld is an ecological ghost.
Its species is dead, it is dead, the world has adapted and reshaped without it. Arkveld’s species is artificially revived, mankind’s machinations bringing something that should be dead back into the world of the living.
Something dead, dragged forcefully back onto the living world.
Pretty ghostly if you ask me
Rather have parts broken than glowing
