This list will contain spoilers so read at your own risk.
Monster Hunter Wilds monster list - Herbivores
Herbivores are usually docile creatures that don’t pose a threat to players. However, it is worth hunting them as Herbivores usually yield useful crafting materials and meat that can be cooked into Well-Done Steaks, which massively increase your stamina gauge.
Ceratonoth
Ceratonoth are a group of peaceful Herbivores that resemble pangolins and spend their days grazing and trekking the Windward Plains. Ceratonoth often form herds while traveling, with a male Ceretonoth placed in the center.
They do this so male Ceretonoth can protect the female Ceretonoth from lightning strikes during the Windward Plains’ frequent thunderstorms by using their special dorsal horns as lightning rods to catch lightning bolts and safely release them to the ground.
Dalthydon
Dalthydon are territorial Herbivores that look like miniature T-Rexes with the heads of goats and frequently migrate to different locales depending on the season. Whenever they sense danger, they will fight back against intruders by ramming into them using their hardened headshells.
This herbivorous wyvern changes its habitat depending on the season. When it senses danger, it will sometimes take a defensive posture and fight back with its well-developed head shell.
Rafma
Rafma are herds of Herbivores that live in the Iceshard Cliffs. When a herd by a hunter or a large monster, the herd will disperse while the Alpha male stays behind to defend them. The Alpha Rafma attacks by ramming enemies with its horns and discharging electricity stored within them to shock enemies to death.
Monster Hunter Wilds monster list - Flying Wyverns
Flying Wyverns are the most iconic monster type in the series and are usually the most common large monster type you will run into. These winged beasts swoop down from the air to snatch their prey with their sharp talons and blow their aggressors away with ranged elemental attacks.
Gravios
Gravios is an enormous Flying Wyvern covered in an extremely tough, rock-like hide that only the sharpest of blades will be able to cut through. It resides in volcanic regions where it attacks its prey by crushing them under its massive feet or rolling on top of them with its body.
Gravios can also devastate foes with explosive, sleeping, and poison gas attacks, and annihilate them by firing laser beams from its mouth.
Rathalos
In Monster Hunter Wilds’ debut trailer, we see a shot of the series mascot, Rathalos, flying overhead, confirming that it will return for this title. Rathalos is the textbook example of a Flying Wyvern, this reptilian monstrosity will attack enemies from above by spitting fireballs and performing aerial divebomb attacks that have earned Rathalos the nickname of “King of the Skies”.
Rathalos can also produce poison from its talons that will inflict the Poison status effect on players. Poison will slowly drain your health, so keep an Antidote on hand to cure yourself if you get by a Rathalos’ talons.
Rathian
If a Monster Hunter title has a Rathalos, then a Rathian isn't too far behind. This iconic Flying Wyvern is nicknamed the "Queen of the Land" for her aggressive, ground-based fighting style where she will constantly charge at the player and smack them down with her poisonous tail.
Rathian can also spit fireballs but they have a bigger blast radius compared to Rathalos' fireballs, so make sure you get out of the way or have impenetrable defensive options to avoid getting incinerated.
Rey Dau
During the Summer Game Fest 2024 trailer, we caught a glimpse of a strange-looking Flying Wyvern that shot electricity from two sharp horns growing out of its head. However, thanks to the Gamescom 2024 trailer, we now know what this thing is - the Rey Dau.
The Rey Dau is a massive Flying Wyvern covered in gold scales and is confirmed to be the apex predator of the Windward Plains. This intimidating beastie has adapted to the lightning storms that occur in the region thanks to its lightning-resistant hide and can discharge lightning bolts from its horns that can potentially knock out even experienced hunters in one hit.
Monster Hunter Wilds monster list - Brute Wyverns
Brute Wyverns are an extremely aggressive monsters that resemble the real-life Tyrannosaurus Rex. Brute Wyverns are considered some of the most dangerous land-based monsters you will encounter in the wild, some of which can even stand up to the might of Elder Dragons.
Rompopolo
Rompopolo is without a doubt one of the freakiest and most alien-looking Brute Wyverns ever discovered in the world of Monster Hunter. This bulbous behemoth resides in the Oilwell Basin and attacks its prey by poisoning them with toxic gas expunged from its mouth and tail. It can also its toxic gas to cause a chain reaction with the Oilwell Basin's oil rivers to make them explode and damage any player unfortunate enough to be caught in the blast radius.
Quematrice
The Quematrice is a moderately-sized Brute Wyvern with characteristics that make it resemble real-life chickens. However, this monster is anything but a chicken because it will get into a fight with any creature it encounters if it smells food up for grabs.
When hunting the Quematrice, make sure to watch out for its tail. It can secrete a flammable substance that will ignite into scorching flames when the Brute Wyvern drags its tail on the ground towards its target, so be prepared to dodge out of the way when it happens.
Arkveld
Arkveld is the flagship monster of Monster Hunter Wilds that was revealed during Sony's September 2024 State of Play event.
This terrifying Flying Wyvern was once thought to be extinct but it has been revealed that the people of Wyveria brought it back to life as a Guardian Monster, albeit an unstable one.
Yet, the clone managed to find a way to reproduce and give birth to a new generation of normal Arkveld, bringing this species back from extinction for better or worse.
The Arkveld is an extremely dangerous monster whose power is on par with Elder Dragons. It possesses ungodly strength, chain-like appendages on its wing which it can use like whips to attack enemies at long range.
When Arkveld gets enraged, it will unleash powerful Dragon-elemental explosions from its chains, dealing heavy damage and Dragonblight to players.
Dragonblight is a nasty status effect that negates the elemental properties of your weapons, and it can cured by eating a Nulberry.
To combat this ghastly wyvern, you will need to break its chains while it's enraged to knock it out of its empowered state, use Flash Pods while it's flying to bring it down to the ground, and utilize traps to it still as the Arkveld moves frighteningly fast.
Monster Hunter Wilds monster list - Bird Wyverns
Bird Wyverns are monster types that resemble birds of prey or ancient velociraptors. Most Bird Wyverns are usually small creatures that form packs, so they gang up on larger monsters using their superior numbers.
However, there are some rare Bird Wyverns that travel alone and are so dangerous that they can take some of the intimidating monster types in a fight on equal footing.
Talioths
During Monster Hunter Wild's 2024 State of Play trailer, we see a scene of a Chatacabra getting attacked by a pack of Bird Wyverns with black-feathered bodies and elongated hook-like peaks.
These vicious Bird Wyverns are called Talioths and they are not afraid to attack monsters bigger than them, so be prepared to defend yourself should you get pounced on by them.
Kranodath
Kranodath are Bird Wyverns that feature skulls with appendages shaped like hammers. When these strange-looking creatures hunt prey be they large or small, Kranodath will jump on top of their target and bash their heads in using their hammer-shaped appendages to knock out them cold.
Yian Kut-Ku
At the end of the extended 'Kut' of Monster Hunter Wilds' release date reveal trailer, fans were treated by the reveal of a returning old-school monster, Yian Kut-Ku. Yian Kut-Ku is a large Bird Wyvern that's been a part of the Monster Hunter franchise ever since the first game in 2004 and now it's back with a vengeance after being absent from the mainline series since Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate.
The Yian Kut-Ku is considered a 'weak' monster compared to other large monsters due to its fragile body and is often treated as a punching bag for new hunters to test their skills and weapons on. However, underestimating this thing can be a fatal mistake because Yian Kut-Ku's oversized peak isn't just for show.
When defending against predators, Yian Kut-Ku will try to peck at them with its peak, which is strong enough to break through boulders bigger than cars. Not only that, Yian Kut-Kut can also run fast to trample enemies to death and spit fireballs to attack enemies at a distance. While it may not be as lethal as a Rathalos' fireball, getting hit by Yian Kut-Ku's will still ruin your day if you don't get out of the way.
Gypceros
When Capcom announced the second Open Beta Test for Monster Hunter Wilds, it also revealed the return of another Bird Wyvern that debuted in Monster Hunter 1, the Gypceros. This gigantic rubbery avian may look ridiculous but looks can deceiving.
The Gypceros is a cunning monster that attacks players with a wide variety of attacks. The Gypceros can stretch its tail into a whip-like weapon, spit poison saliva, smash rocks with its giant peak, blind players with a flash attack using its horn-like appendage, and even play dead to lull players into a false of security before launching a sneak attack.
Porkeplume
Porkeplume are very timid Bird Wyverns that live deep within the Ruins of Wyveria in the hopes of avoiding the predators of the outside world. They usually try to run or scare away predators by puffing up the bristles on their heads to look intimidating.
When if a group of them is backed into a corner, one of the Porkeplume will try to ram their attackers with its head, hopefully giving the rest of its herd time to escape.
Monster Hunter Wilds monster list - Fanged Beasts
Fanged Beasts are monsters that resemble mammals like bears, gorillas, monkeys, and pigs. These monsters tend to be some of the more aggressive beasties and will challenge any hunter or monster that invades their territory, regardless if they’re stronger or not.
Ajarakan
The Ajarakan is a fire-based Fanged Beast that has a short-temper and will attack anything, even its own kind at the slightest provocation. It fights primarily like an enraged monkey and clawing, bite and generally ripping and tearing into its opponents with a berserker rage.
When an Ajarakan's anger reaches its boiling point, it will set itself on fire by igniting the shell on its back with friction to power itself up and set its opponents ablaze with flame attacks.
Doshaguma
The Doshaguma is a large Fanged Beast that looks like a horrific crossbreed between a bear and a lion. These rugged behemoths are extremely territorial and dangerous, as their herculean strength and sharp claws can crush opponents like a sour grape.
Doshaguma also tend to travel in packs for a better chance to rip their prey apart. It would be foolish to attack a Doshaguma herd head-on, so you will need to find a way to pick them off one by one or lure the alpha Doshaguma (marked with a red mane) away so its pack can’t help it.
Congalala
During Capcom's Monster Hunter Wilds Tokyo Game Show 2024 presentation, one of the more infamous monsters from early Monster Hunter games reared its ugly to befoul a new generation of players - the Congalala. This pink-furred Fanged Beast is one of the more disgusting beasts of Monster Hunter's massive roster of monsters for its ugly appearance and foul attacks.
Its move-set set consists of clumsily swinging its arms around like the monkey it is, shoving its fat, hardened belly into opponents to knock them down, a long-reaching stink-cloud breath attack, and farting in your face.
Don't be fooled by Congalala's toilet humor because its fart and breath attacks can infect players with a nasty status effect called 'Stench' which prevents players from using their items. This status ailment can be cured by using a Deodorant so be sure to pack plenty of them when hunting this beast.
In addition, Congalala can change the effects of its breath attack by consuming mushrooms during battle:
- Eating a Poisonschroom (colored purple) will cause the breath attack to poison you.
- Eating a Paraschroom (colored yellow) will cause the breath attack to paralyse you.
- Eating a Nitroschroom (colored light red) will cause the breath to become explosive and deal massive damage to players while setting them on fire.
Blangonga
Capcom has released a short Monster Hunter Wilds trailer on its Japanese website, revealing the return of Blangonga, a violent Fanged Beast that debuted in 2006's Monster Hunter 2. This white baboon-esque monster is a volatile creature that lives in icy regions and will attack anything that intrudes its territory.
The Blangonga is fast, hits hard, and can freeze its opponents with a deadly ice-breath attack. In addition, the Blangonga can packs of Blango (younger versions of a Blangonga) to harass the player so it can land cheap shots at them while they're distracted.
Monster Hunter Wilds monster list - Amphibians
Amphibians are a very rare kind of monster with appearances and behaviors similar to that of toads. They are slow, heavy monsters but make up for their lack of agility with immense strength and thick-armored hides that can withstand almost any attack.
Chatacabra
The Chatacabra is a muscle-bound toad-like monster, always ready for battle. It attacks its prey by punching them with its hefty fists, knocking them to floor using its gigantic tail, and stampede towards them to crush them underfoot.
Chatacabra can also use sticky saliva from its tongue to glue rocks to its fists to form makeshift gauntlets that will power-up its attacks.
Gelidron
The Gelidron are small Amphibians that reside the Oilwell Basin. These creatures are usually docile until they get hungry enough to start hunting for prey. Gelidron hide in murky waters waiting for prey to come before launching a sneak attack where they try to swallow their prey whole with their giant mouths.
Monster Hunter Wilds monster list - Leviathans
Leviathans are aquatic, bipedal monsters that resemble sea creatures like the Lock Ness Monster and specialise in utilizing water-elemental attacks.
Balahara
The Balahara is a Leviathan that looks like reptilian sandworm ripped straight out of the Dune franchise. It is a disturbing-looking monster that can swim through deserts as if it were a swimming pool, coil its serpentine body around its victims to choke them to death and create quicksand pits to trap its foes so they can't escape.
Gaijos
Gaijos are Leviathans that be mistaken for real life crocodiles minus their sawblade-shaped heads. These reptiles reside in lakes and rivers solely to pounce on unaware Herbivores and feast on their flesh.
Piragill
Piragill are piranha-like Leviathans that travel in packs to overwhelm their prey with speed and numbers. They generally don't attack on their own unless their intended prey is in a vulnerable state.
So you topple a large monster to a group of Piragill, they will descent upon the bigger beast bite it to pieces.
Uth Duna
The Uth Duna is a gigantic, reptilian Leviathan that resides in the Scarlet Forest and only appears when the region's 'Downpour' Inclemency period occurs. These girthy beasts secrete a special fluid in their body to protect themselves from incoming attacks and belly-flop all over the place to create tidal waves to wash their aggressors away.
Hirabami
During the Monster Hunter Wilds February 2025 Showcase, a new Leviathan was revealed called the Hirabami. These strange-looking yet deadly creatures travel in packs and somehow are able to float in the air like kites.
The Hirabami attack their prey by flying through the air and then ramming into them like a speeding bullet train. They can also spit icy substances that can freeze a player's feet to the ground, rendering them helpless to dodge incoming attacks.
Jin Dahaad
During Monster Hunter Wilds' 6th cinematic trailer, there was a scene where the player was fighting a pack of Hirabami and a gigantic reptilian-like whose body shape somewhat resembles a sea horse.
In Monster Hunter Wilds' launch trailer, we finally get to see what this thing is and it's a gigantic Leviathan called Jin Dahaad. This mammoth-sized, metallic beast is the apex predator of the Iceshard Cliffs and it is a force to be reckoned with. Its physical attacks have the crushing force of an avalanche and its ice breath attack can cause small-scale blizzards that freeze anything in its path.
This is a monster that will require a master hunter or a full team of experienced hunters to bring down.
Mizutsune
Monster Hunter Wilds' 1st post-launch Title Update will add Mizutsune, a popular Leviathan monster last seen in Monster Hunter Rise. This graceful predator covers its body in a special liquid that allows Mizutsune to slide across the ground quickly and slash at its prey with its sharp claws.
Mizutsune can also fire a deadly water beam attack from its mouth and spit out giant bubbles that can inflict players with Bubbleblight. Bubbleblight is a troublesome ailment that causes players to lose control of themselves and slide all over the place, which will leave them vulnerable to attack. You can cure Bubbleblight by using Cleansers or by getting by an attack.
Lagiacrus
In the gameplay showcase for Monster Hunter Wilds 1st Title Update, it revealed that Lagiacrus, the flagship monster of Monster Hunter Tri, would finally be making its return to a traditional Monster Hunter game after last appearing in 2017's Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate.
Lagiacrus is set to make its comeback in Monster Hunter Wilds 2nd Title Update in the Summer of 2025.
As for what it is, Lagiacrus is a Leviathan-type monster covered head to claw with blue scales and spines that have the power to conduct electricity. It uses this power to shock its prey to death and exploit the elemental weakness of its greatest rival, Rathalos.
Monster Hunter Wilds monster list - Temnocerans
Temnocerans are giant monsters that resemble real-life spiders. They are also infamous for possessing deadly status ailment attacks that can cripple players and leave them helpless for Temnocerans to eat them.
Lala Barina
The Lala Barina is a Temnoceran that strangely resembles and even moves like a ballerina dancer. This disturbing bug lives within the depths of the Scarlet Forest and stalks its prey from the shadows before pouncing them and bringing them back to its lair.
Fighting the Lala Barina is a scary affair as it can quickly dash across the battlefield to rip you shreds with its claws and impale you with a large stinger. It can also shake its fluffy abdomen to release deadly, spiky pollen from its body that can paralyze players if the pollen hits them.
Nerscylla
The Nerscylla is the series' first and most iconic Temnoceran type monster, that has terrified players since its debut in Monster Hunter 4. The Nerscylla is a fast, agile Temnoceran that attacks its prey with razor-sharp claws, pierces them with a stinger laced with sleep-inducing venom, spider-webs that can trap players, and poisonous mandibles that can decapitate you if you don't get out of the way.
What makes a Nerscylla extra dangerous is its intelligence as its smart to realise that its weak to thunder-elemental weapons. So a Nerscylla decides to protect itself by hunting Gypeceros, ripping off their thunder-resistant skin, and then wears the skin like a suit of armor to stop hunters from exploiting its elemental weakness.
Monster Hunter Wilds monster list - Neopteron
Neopterons are giant bug-like monsters that resemble creatures like ants, beatles, mosquitos, scorpions, and even the praying mantis. Most Neopterons are generally low-level threats but there are some very rare exceptional Neopterons that are so powerful that they can rival Flying Wyverns and even Elder Dragons.
Bulaqchi
The Bulaqchi is a terrifying Neopteron that lives in the Windward Plains. These bug monsters crawl on walls and or hide in small caves to get the jump on their prey and suck out their blood.
Otherwise, they can be pretty easily dispatched with any method you see fit so long as you don't surrounded by groups of Bulaqchi.
Comaqchi
Comaqchi are pink, distant cousins of the Bulaqchi that live in cold regions like the Iceshard plains. Just like the Bluaqchi, they can be somewhat dangerous in groups but taking them out one by one without being surrounded is key to slaying them.
Monster Hunter Wilds monster list - Cephalopod
Cephalopods are a brand new classification for monsters that resemble real-life octopuses, giant squids, and cuttlefish. These creatures are some of the rarest monster types in the whole franchise and they often some of the most nightmare-inducing for their freaky appearances and unorthodox attack patterns.
Nu Udra 'The Black Flame'
During the Monster Hunter Wilds October 2024 Showcase stream, Capcom revealed the Apex monster of the Oilwell Basin region, which is quite possibly one of the most horrifying monsters ever conceived in the entire Monster Hunter franchise.
This Octopus-like monster was shrouded in mystery and was only known by the moniker of The Black Flame" labeled by the villagers of Azuz. However, thanks to a January 2025 Monster Hunter Wilds gameplay preview with IGN, we finally know its true name is Nu Udra.
Nu Udra is a ginormous Cephalopods that towers over most of the regular large monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds. Nu Udra is covered in deadly flammable oil, it has giant tentacles that it uses to choke its prey to death, and it can breathe fire from its special appendages on its body.
In addition, Nu Udra doesn't have eyes so it's immune to being blinded by Flash Bombs and it can squeeze its body through tight crevices in walls or the ground to escape if it feels threatened.
Xu Wu
The Xu Wu is a Cephalopod monster that lives in the Ruins of Wyveria, feasting on Guardian Monsters. It is a lot smaller than the Nu Udra and doesn't possess elemental attacks but the Xu Wu makes up for it with its absurdly-fast speed and lethal tentacles that skewer players like spears.
Additionally, the Xu Wu can fire shard of glass produced from its body as projectiles and it has a giant gaping maw of a mouth which it can use to swallow players whole and potentially kill them in one shot.
The Xu Wu's primary weakness is ice-elemental weapons and it can be caught in traps to halt its insane momentum long enough for players to get the jump on it.
Monster Hunter Wilds monster list - Demi-Elder
Demi-Elders are new classification describing Elder Dragons in their young states before becoming fully-fledged adults.
These adolescent creatures may have not the full strength of their adult counterparts, Demi-Elders are still a mighty force to be reckoned with and should be hunted with extreme caution.
Gore Magala
Gore Magala is a classic monster that debuted back in 2013's Monster Hunter 4 on the Nintendo 3DS as that title's flagship monster. For over a decade, this demonic was so mysterious that it was classified by the Hunter's Guild as a "???" type monster as there was very little information about this species.
In recent times, it's now been reclassified as a Demi-Elder as the Gore Magala is an adolescent version of the more powerful, Shagaru Magala.
That being said, Gore Magala is still one of the most dangerous monsters in the entire Monster Hunter series and if left unchecked, could destroy ecosystems. The Gore Magala has freakishly immense strength, it can obliterate opponents with an array of energy-based attacks, and it can infect its prey with the deadly Frenzy Virus.
The Frenzy Virus is a special status effect that builds up over time on a player once infected (as represented on a special bar below the player's health bar). If the Frenzy Virus isn't cured in time, it will cripple a player's stats to the point where even the Gore Magala's weakest attack could end them.
To cure the Frenzy Virus, you will need to start hitting any monsters you see in a manic frenzy to overcome the virus before the meter fills up. Thankfully, you can buy yourself time by eating Nulberries to reset the Frenzy Virus build-up meter.
If you manage to overcome the Frenzy Virus, you will gain a massive affinity stat boost so you can perform critical hits more easily.
Monster Hunter Wilds monster list - Guardian Monsters
As you venture into the Forbidden Lands, you will eventually come across the ruins of an ancient city known as Wyveria. Within these ruins lies a terrible, dark secret - Guardian Monsters.
Guardian Monsters are artificially made clones of regular monsters created by the scientists of Wyveria. These man-made beasts behave more wildly than their normal counterparts and their attacks are augmented by a special energy resource called Wylk that only flows in Wyveria.
Guardian Monsters were created to serve the people of Wyveria as its protectors. However, one of these monsters went mad and turned on its creators, reducing their civilization to ashes and causing the rest of its kind to slumber in suspended animation.
Now many years later, the Guardian Monsters have reawoken and are now causing chaos in the Forbidden Lands.
Guardian Rathalos
The Guardian Rathalos is a clone of Rathalos, augmented by Wylk. It features the same attacks as its normal counterpart except the Guardian Rathalos can also cause massive explosions whenever it performs an aerial ground stomp.
Be sure to pack Antidotes to cure the poison it inflicts from its talons and roll around when it inflicts you with Fireblight with its fireballs.
Also, make sure to constantly use Focus Mode Strikes on its wounds because it will cause the built-up Wylk energy to overflow and eventually explode within Guardian Rathalos' body. This will heavily damage the creature and leave it exhausted for a while before it decides to feast on more Wylk from Wyveria's environment.
This weakness is prevalent in all Guardian Monsters so take advantage of it.
Guardian monsters also leave giant spikes of solidified Wylk energy on the ground when they use Wylk-empowered attacks. These spikes explode when a Guardian monster's elemental attack hits them and deal major damage to a player in the process.
However, if you have elemental Slinger ammo on hand, you can ignite these Wylk spikes yourself and damage the monster instead.
Guardian Doshaguma
The Guardian Doshaguma is Doshaguma clone with white fur-overflowing with Wylk energy. This artificial behemoth moves quicker than its regular counterpart, uses the Doshaguma's deadliest attacks more often, and cause explosions that leave Wylk spikes on the ground.
The good news is that Guardian Doshagumas usually travel alone instead of packs like the regular Doshaguma, so you won't have to worry about this creature receiving reinforcements during a hunt.
Guardian Ebony Odogaron
Guardian Ebony Odogaron is a clone of Ebony Odogaron, a Fanged-Wyvern that was last seen in Monster Hunter World: Iceborne. The Guardian Ebony Odogaron is a fast and agile predator that attacks its prey with vicious claw strikes, bite attacks and Dragon-elemental breath attacks inflict Dragonblight.
When you get by Ebony Odogaron's claws, you will be inflict with the Bleed status which causes your health to fall every time you move or perform actions. To cure it, you will need to crouch until the bleeding stops or eat a Well-Done Steak.
Guardian Fulgur Anjanath
Guardian Fulgur Anjanath, is a clone of the Thunder-elemental Brute Wyvern, Fulgur Anjaneth, which was last seen in Monster Hunter World: Iceborne. Like the regular version, Guardian Fulgur Anjanath is a viscious dinosaur-like monster that attacks its prey with bone-crushing bite attacks, tail whips, and claw strikes.
When Guardian Fulgur Anjanath gets enraged, its body will become overflowing with electricity and its attacks will be augmented with the Thunder element and Wylk energy.
Players will need to strike at Guardian Fulgur Anjanath's dorsal fins while its enraged to knock it out of its super-charged state and pack nulberries to cure themselves of Thunderblight if they get hit by the monster's thunder-enhanced bites.
Guardian Seikret
The scientists of Wyveria even went as far as cloning the Seikret mount players ride in this game as Guardian monsters. Unlike the normal Seikret which are playful and friendly, the Guardian Seikret are vicious pack animals that will attack anything in their peripheral vision.
Zoh Shia
Deep within the Ruins of Wyveria lies the most terrible Guardian Monster of them all...Zoh Shia. This man-made Elder Dragon was responsible for destroying Wyveria and now it threatens to wreak havoc on the world at large.
This monster attacks players by smashing its giant set of winged arms and unleashing giant explosions leaving behind Wylk spikes (which can be ignited by players with elemental slinger ammo).
As you destroy its armored shell, Zoh Shia's angelic facade crumbles and reveals its true, disgusting form. Zoh Shia isn't just a clone of one monster like the other Guardian Monsters, it is an amalgamation of several dangerous Elder Dragons like Gore Magala, Alatreon, and the dreaded Fatalis stitched together to create an abomination that looks like a demon from Hell.
In this form, Zoh Shia will attack using fire breath attacks that can engulf huge portions of the arena, Wylk explosions, and lightning bolts which can inflict Dragonblight, nullifying your weapon's elemental properties.
Players will need to employ everything at their disposal to survive fighting this demon and put it down for good.
Monster Hunter Wilds monster list - Tempered Monsters
Capcom has revealed Monster Hunter Wilds will feature the return of Tempered Monsters from Monster Hunter World. Tempered Monsters are special, powered-up versions of regular monsters that have more health and enhanced strength capable of taking out players in two or even one hits.
Monster Hunter Wilds' version of Tempered Monsters have scars covering their body which can be ripped apart to open Wounds. Once exposed, a player can attack these Wounds to deal extra damage or topple a monster by hitting them with a Focus Strike.
Killing Tempered Monsters will reward players with Decorations to power up their gear and crafting parts to forge unique 'Artis' weapons.
A new frontier of monsters to hunt
And there you have every dangerous monster you will face in Monster Hunter Wilds thus far.
We will frequently update this list with more monsters that will be added to the game over the coming months for its post-release content. Be sure to bookmark this list and check back frequently to see what monsters will be joining the roster.
Monster Hunter Wilds, the next-gen successor to one of Capcom's best Xbox games and best PC games, Monster Hunter World, is now available for purchase after launching on February 28, 2025, for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam.
