We’ll provide less detailed information initially, but remember that this guide might reveal what creatures you can fight in Monster Hunter Wilds. (Note: This guide includes spoilers!)

Some characters even have “Guardian” versions, and to keep things unspoiled for fellow players, I’ll delve into their specific details at a later stage.

How many monsters are in Monster Hunter Wilds?

In Monster Hunter Wilds, there are actually 29 large creatures for players to battle, but if we account for minor variations of the same monster, it might be closer to 26 distinct monsters in total.

Among the 29 monsters presented, 11 are recurring characters from past series installments, while a surprising 18 make their debut in this series, having never appeared before. Some of these newcomers, such as Rey Dau and Chatacabra, have been hinted at through press releases and early game previews. However, there are others whose existence has only just been unveiled moments before the game’s launch!

Chatacabra

In simpler terms, the Chatacabra of Monster Hunter Wilds is a large, armored toad with a notable feature – a long tongue. While this lengthy tongue is an interesting trait, it also happens to be its vulnerable spot.

  • New monster

Quematrice

This enormous rooster employs fire as a means of attacking hunters. It produces oil from its extensive tail feathers and sets them alight during physical assaults. Players have the ability to sever the tail, thereby reducing its attack strategies.

  • New monster

Lala Barina

This strange-looking spider appears to carry a blooming rose on its lower body, which it emits as a cloud of blossoms to stun surrounding creatures. However, players have the ability to counterattack by crushing the flowers back into the spider’s body, momentarily halting its offensive.

  • New monster

Congalala

In previous Monster Hunter games, including MH2, this large, pink-furred ape character has been featured. It’s most famously recognized for attempting to emit clouds of harmful gas, similar to flatulence, towards players. In challenging circumstances, it even summons smaller Congalala for assistance.

  • Returning monster

Balahara

In the mesmerizing world of Monster Hunter Wilds, I was immediately captivated by these elusive Tunneling Sandworms, one of the initial creatures you’ll encounter. However, it might take some time before you get a chance to engage in combat with them. They possess a cunning strategy, burrowing into the ground and leaping at unsuspecting players for an ambush. Yet, they have their weaknesses – they are susceptible to sound and their mouth area is exposed, making it a potential vulnerable spot.

  • New monster

Doshaguma

In this scenario, we are discussing a large bear that is a veteran of the beta stage (or initial release), known for its slow movement but powerful attacks. It often travels in groups, with an alpha leading the pack, which serves as the primary target during hunts. Intelligent hunters will strategize by separating their group using dung pods and then employing evasive tactics to successfully bring down this colossal creature.

  • New monster

Uth Duna

A water-dwelling hunter skillfully exploits its aquatic environment, swiftly escaping danger and generating ripples to disrupt opponents. Its grand, draping fins serve as protective barriers, but if enough damage is inflicted on these fins to deplete their moisture content, it will be compelled to withdraw this defensive barrier, causing it to become enraged.

  • New monster

Rompopolo

A grotesque amalgamation, dubbed Rompopolo, boasts features reminiscent of a crow, a mosquito, and a tar monster. This intriguing character generates both toxic and explosive vapors using sacs on its body. Attacking these sacs reduces its capacity to pollute the surroundings significantly.

  • New monster

Rey Dau

A colossal lightning-wielding beast and top predator, the Monster Hunter Wilds Rey Dau conducts electricity via the blue gems adorning its physique, discharging bolts from its head. To curb its powers, shatter these crystals, but take heed to avoid being within range of its lethal electric blasts, capable of annihilating many players.

  • New monster

Nerscylla

This massive, wicked spider primarily inflicts poison damage and has a defensive covering of hides on its back. Keep your distance at the front to dodge both poisoning and webbing, and try to slice through those covers to expose its weakness. If it seems familiar, that’s because it debuted in Monster Hunter 4.

  • Returning monster

Hirabami

A graceful and otherworldly being that glides through the skies, the Hirabami sweeps its tail, attacking players in close proximity. To defeat it, you must inflict enough damage to force it to descend to ground level, at which point a full-on assault is necessary. Players who favor ranged combat, such as those who enjoy the Monster Hunter Wilds Bow, will find an advantage in this encounter.

  • New monster

Ajarakan

In a continuous sequence of anger-fueled simian characters, Ajarakan stands out as the newest addition, primarily inflicting fire damage rather than the beloved Rajang. This unique primate often ignites itself, forcing players to either employ cooling solutions such as specialized ammo from the Monster Hunter Wilds Light Bowgun or equip themselves with appropriate insulation materials.

  • New monster

Nu Udra

This recently introduced creature, more accurately called the Black Flame, is initially known by this name. It’s a fiery octopus that employs erratic, unforeseeable actions to hinder players, but its limbs can be severed through determination and the use of a large weapon if you persist.

  • New monster

Guardian Doshaguma

The initial form of the Guardians, known as Doshaguma, is a more challenging version of usual monsters. They have the ability to create unstable crystals during their attacks. These crystals explode upon contact with any source of elemental power, including the players themselves.

  • New monster

Guardian Rathalos

The Rathalos, a long-standing adversary in Monster Hunter, appears here in its Guardian form. This means there are fresh vulnerabilities, enhanced abilities, and as with other versions, it can still call upon crystals for aid. As always, be mindful of its fiery breath and poisonous attacks – no one enjoys both getting burned and feeling unwell simultaneously.

  • New variant of returning monster

Jin Dahaad

This colossal icy beast is shielded by a complex network of plates and elevations that significantly minimize any harm from attacks. To defeat it, players must break those protective plates initially, exposing vulnerable portions of its body. Additionally, they must dodge its freezing breath, area-of-effect assaults, and unexpected wall-climbing maneuvers for a tactical position. What makes this creature particularly challenging is that no trap can contain it due to its immense size. Thus, conventional strategies used in Monster Hunter Wilds won’t be effective against this ice giant.

  • New monster

Guardian Ebony Odogaron

In Iceborne, this swift and belligerent creature called Odogaron made its debut. Although the standard version isn’t featured in the game, there’s a Guardian version for players to confront. Regardless of its form, Odogaron is always quick and aggressive, often pushing players into a defensive stance unless they can match its speed.

  • New variant of returning monster

Xu Wu

This octopus possesses a peculiar, bony ridge and exhibits a fondness for pursuing Guardian monsters, much like the Nu Udra. However, it shares with the latter a propensity for sudden, erratic behavior, often leading to surprise attacks. Unlike its counterpart, its oversized, rounded head serves as an apparent target for hunters, and moreover, its tentacles can be easily severed.

  • New monster

Guardian Arkveld

In a new and improved form, the dominant beast in MH Wilds, Arkveld, is back to cause mayhem among players. Equipped with retractable chains embedded in its wings, it hurls these at a distance to inflict substantial damage, and furthermore, charges them with elemental energy capable of detonating upon impact.

  • New monster

Zoh Shia

In Monster Hunter Rise, one formidable beast stands out for its deadly nature – a massive dragon with avian characteristics, boasting a shell atop its head that must be broken to inflict maximum damage. Yet, the potent elemental assaults it unleashes make this task more challenging than it appears.

  • New monster

Yian Kut-Ku

In the initial installment of the MH series, one of the earliest and iconic monsters is a peculiar, chicken-like wyvern known for its erratic behavior. It’s often seen darting around and fiercely pecking anything in its vicinity. Due to their swiftness and tendency to enter frenzies, these creatures can be quite challenging for less agile hunters, potentially knocking them down.

  • Returning monster

Gypceros

The Gypceros, another remarkable birdlike creature, employs a flexible tail along with brilliant bursts of light. When you hear it tapping its beak, get ready for a blinding flash that will disorient everything around, followed by a swift attack to poison those left helpless by the flashbang.

  • Returning monster

Rathian

Frequently known as the “monster hunting queen”, Rathian is an established series character, a massive dragon in form. She possesses the ability to unleash flames and carries a venomous stinger concealed within her tail.

  • Returning monster

Guardian Fulgur Anjanath

The dinosaur monster Anjanath has been a fixture in the games for some time now, and Iceborne introduced its lightning-infused subspecies known as Fulgur Anjanath. Recently, we’ve seen the emergence of another subspecies within that group, the Guardian Fulgur Anjanath, which carries on the tradition of the other guardians by using explosive crystals.

  • New variant of returning monster

Rathalos

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but marvel at the legendary might of Rathalos, the undisputed monarch among Monster Hunter’s fearsome creatures, standing tall in the shadow of his queen, Rathian. After vanquishing the Guardian formidable, it’s the classic Rathalos that will grace our maps with its presence, maintaining the same fierce focus on fire and poison that has defined it since its inception.

  • Returning monster

Gravios

Gravios is a colossal, stone-made dragon with restricted movement, but its enormous size, thick armor, and capacity to emit harmful gases through its armor cracks make it a formidable adversary. Similar to Jin Dahaad, players must break through the armor to expose its weak spots, primarily focusing on the head and chest regions.

  • Returning monster

Blangonga

The Blangonga, a primate characterized by its snowy fur, shares similarities with the less robust Congalala, notably in its predilection for flatulence and ability to conjure smaller simians as aid. However, the Blangonga exhibits greater strength and possesses icy abilities that can immobilize hunters, rendering them stationary and vulnerable to subsequent assaults.

The Blangonga, a white-furred baboon, resembles the weaker Congalala in its habits of passing gas and summoning smaller apes for help. However, it is stronger than the Congalala and has the power to freeze hunters in place with ice, making them easy targets for further attacks.

  • Returning monster

Gore Magala

Gore Magala represents a formidable elder dragon, capable of inducing a frenzied state in monsters and potentially players as well. Its colossal physique, swift actions, and breath attacks make it a significant threat. The intriguing aspect is that Gore Magala is considered an infant version of Shagaru Magala, leading us to speculate if the more powerful adult dragon may appear in future updates.

  • Returning monster

Arkveld

After defeating Guardian Arkveld, you’ll eventually encounter the common form of the lethal White Wraith, which is a frequent monster wandering the world. The same rules and hazards are in effect, but now you have the additional advantage of setting traps to capture it for a higher reward, and its materials can be used to craft some of the finest armor in Monster Hunter Wilds.
