You used to be able to cut Velociprey in half and kill Kelbis
The Velociprey are often the first hostile monster that players will run into and their set is a common first set for new Hunters, but did you know that you can cut them in half in the original Monster Hunter? In order to do so, players have to kill it while the Velociprey is jumping, and it’s easiest to do with the Great Sword. Doing so cuts it in half, but it fades away afterwards, making carving impossible.
Velociprey isn’t the only example of Capcom changing how monsters die either. Since Monster Hunter Tri Ultimate, Western versions of Monster Hunter titles have the Kelbi only getting knocked out when attacked. On the plus side, this makes it easier for Hunters to get Kelbi Horns, since in previous titles, players had to knock them out to get an improved carve chance, and there was always a chance that you’d kill it instead.
