It feels like a long time ago when I stopped being surprised by bizarre promotional tie-ins. I think my breaking point might have been when Korn appeared in AdventureQuest 3D. Now Monster Hunter is getting a signature Fender guitar, which is the kind of thing usually reserved for iconic or highly-regarded players with a history of playing Fender guitars. You know, musicians like Jimi Hendrix.
As far as I know (and granted, I've only played three Monster Hunter games) the Rathalos is not known to play the guitar or any other instrument. That's because the Rathalos is a monster, and not in the Gwar sense. And yet, here we are: the Monster Hunter Rathalos Telecaster is a collaboration model celebrating Monster Hunter's 20th anniversary, and coming in 2025.
