Things You May Not Know About The Royal Paleontology Scriveners(Info Comes From Hunter's Encyclopedia 1, G, 2, 3, and 4)


 * The Royal Paleontology Scriveners (Japanese 王立古生物書士隊) are a public organization that researches, studies, and observes the ecology of monsters.
 * They study all monsters in each class, including Elder Dragons, and keep info about each monster as updated as possible, adding new info about monster if needed.
 * Royal Paleontology Scriveners are constantly studying monsters due to many mysteries about them still being unknown.
 * All of the Royal Paleontology Scriveners' research and discoveries go to the the Elder Dragon Observation Team. The Elder Dragon Observation Team gives this new info to the Hunter's Guild in the form of books or magazines, which are sold to hunters to inform them.
 * In the field, the Royal Paleontology Scriveners are known to travel in groups with guards to protect them from monsters. However, sometimes the guards aren't enough to protect the researchers from monsters so the Hunter's Guild is known to request some hunters to accompany them for extra protection.
 * Though hunters are extra protection, the whole group could easily still be killed in the field by monsters, such as Deviljho eating a whole group along with the hunters that accompanied them.
 * In unexplored lands, contact with the group could easily be lost.
 * Some of their recent discoveries and other info is found in the Hunter's Encyclopedia.

 * While in the Great Forest, as it was being studied, he disappeared mysteriously and only a page from his book was found. The page said, "There are many species yet to be discovered in the world".
 * Interestingly, an old torn book about Elder Dragons was found in the Volcano along with a page that says "Written by John Arthur", suggesting that he is still alive somewhere.

Gustave Ron (Japanese ギュスターヴ・ロン)
 * Gustave Ron is the new leader of the Royal Paleontology Scriveners.
