Things You May Not Know About The Hunters (Info comes from Hunter's Encyclopedia 2)


 * Kokoto's Chief and other Wyverians started the hunting career. Though hunting was their primary job, it slowly changed overtime to other objectives, such as delivering items and escorting travelers. This eventually led to the Hunter's Guild appearing to fill in many of those requests with hunters.
 * Hunters have wide knowledge and a high exercise capacity, so this is a field of work not to many people can take part in.
 * Most people become hunters so they can gain wealth, fame, a better living, or other reasons. Some even become hunters to sneak out crimes they've done.
 * Though the Hunter's Guild is nearly all over the place, it is actually illegal in some places that disagree with their ways. This is partially due to not blaming others being a main part of the organization.
 * Hunters are only allowed to hunt monsters by the Hunter's Guild's orders. If the hunters try to do a secret request, or an order from another organization, it is treated as a poaching.
 * This shows that hunters can't let their greed get to them easily.
 * Even though that's the case, hunters can take request from other hunters that have failed a quest.
 * The Hunter's Guild has three ranks for hunters: Low Rank, High Rank, and G-Rank.
 * Low Rank Hunters are the most common of hunters. These ranked hunters don't hunt very strong monster individuals and do different types of quest besides hunting.
 * High Rank Hunters are truly observed by the Hunter's Guild. They do a lot more quests that involve hunting, including quest that require special permits. High Rank Hunters not only hunt strong monster individuals but also Subspecies and Rare Species.
 * G-Rank Hunters are the rarest hunters. These hunters were able to slay either an Elder Dragon or an Elder Dragon-Level Monster, becoming recognized by not only the Hunter's Guild but also all districts of it. **Only a small number of G-Rank Hunters actually exist in the Monster Hunter World.
 * These hunters hunt the hardest of monsters, including some newer species, while searching for unidentified species that have been reported.
 * Hunters are 175cm tall.
 * It is unknown if this also applies for female hunters.
