Monster Hunter Rise: All the information we have

Monster Hunter Rise is now available! This indicates that it's time to begin preparing for your travels. To prevent rampage occurrences in Kamura Village and to make tougher gear out of their pelts, claws, shells, and other parts, you must hunt a great deal of terrible monsters.

Here's where we get involved. Every verified Monster Hunter Rise monster is included in this handy list, which we will update as new monsters are discovered and made available. There are already more than 50 verified monsters, some of which are fan favourites like Rathalos.

See our Monster Hunter Rise weapons and Monster Hunter Rise palamute guides for additional information on the newest role-playing game. You can also read our Monster Hunter Rise review to see our thoughts on it.

List of Monster Hunter rising monsters

As of now, Monster Hunter Rise has 34 huge monsters in total; new monsters are added almost every month via free updates. It has been confirmed that Chameleos will join the game in the next weeks, increasing the total to 35.

Not included in this are each monster's Apex variations, which resemble Monster Hunter World's Tempered monsters in that they are stronger versions of the common monsters.

We'll be providing the Village missions where you can find the monsters for the first time in the game, or the Gathering Hub missions if they don't show up there, to help you get ready for the hunt. In order to help you prepare, we'll also provide you a quick overview of the creatures.

Monster Hunter Rise creatures

Here are some final monster descriptions and cautionary tales for the game's enemies.

Super Izuchi

A bird wyvern with a tail like a scythe. It usually travels with a number of smaller Izuchi in a pack. Not too tough, but watch out when it jumps back to rejoin its flock.

Arzuros

Sharp claws of a bear wyvern. This creature enjoys charging and slashing with its claws. Attacking its rear should be done carefully as its butt might bump you.

Great Baggi

The Great Baggi wanders in groups with its buddies, much like the Great Izuchi. It's not that deadly, but it may spit a tranquillizing substance on its victim, which makes it somewhat more hazardous.

Lagombi

The Lagombi is able to withstand cold weather because to its dense coat of fat and magnificently warm fur.

Asknosom

enormous avian wyvern supported by just one leg. It resembles a scary umbrella due to the ruffles around its neck. This fire-breathing crane can manoeuvre elegantly and gives clear warning signals when it is ready to strike.

Tetranadon

The Tetranadon is a massive, spherical creature with a platypus-like face. It ingests anything, including gravel, that comes into touch with it. Its press assault when sitting is quite powerful.

Kulu-Ya-Ku

This avian wyvern is returning from Monster Hunter World. It scrapes the ground and beak-pecks. Compared to other monsters, it is a little timid, but once it gets hold of a rock or pot, it becomes very dangerous.

Barroth

a massive, hard-headed beast. Its victim gets Waterblight from it shaking mud off its back. It will injure you if you hear what sounds like steam escaping. It is going to charge at you.many.

Fantastic Wroggi

Wroggi travel in packs, with the group led by the most dangerous individual. If its venom sac swells, it is preparing to discharge a toxic mist, so back off.

Royal Ludroth

Alongside this monster are lesser variations.The Royal Ludroth's mane is like sponges, soaking up moisture. It will spit repulsive mucus upon its victim. This also has a propensity to roll about a lot.

Khezu

Nightmares are created by creatures like this eerie wyvern. It clings to walls with an eerie, stretchy neck that expands. When it releases an electric barrier, stay out of its blast range to avoid being immobilised and vulnerable to assaults.

A monster holding a fruit

Bishohaten

This inquisitive creature delights in tricking people and hurling fruit with its peculiar tail. Before going after this monkey-beast, make sure you have enough of antidotes on hand since some of the fruit might be poisonous.

Somnacanth

This watery beast knocks out its victim by releasing a sleeping powder from its throat. Avoid getting too close because if it picks up a fruit, it will break it open and briefly shock anybody around.

Barith

Barioth's keen fangs and spiky scales give it dominion over the cold tundra. When it charges, play conservatively since it moves quickly.Rathian

Rathian, the fire-breathing dragon, also possesses a poisonous tail. She is referred to as the Land's Queen. In contrast to other games, the poison effect that occurs when you are struck by her tail remains after you slice off her tail.

Kadachi-Tobi

Although it's not the most adorable flying squirrel around, if you are struck by one of its strikes too often, this beast may give you quite the shock. When it flies, concentrate on avoiding obstacles.Volvidon

The Volvidon resembles a massive, thick-shelled armadillo. It catches its prey with its very long tongue. Move aside if it begins to tremble because anybody affected by its fumes cannot ingest healing supplies.Basarios

A rocky-looking wyvern that flew. Before dispatching unsuspecting victims, Basarios imitates its environment. This is a strong creature with hard armour, so your best bet is to use blunt weapons.Pukei-Pukei

This creature, although charming in spots, has a poisonous secret in its tail. Its capacity to spit poison at you will be impeded if you chop it off. Its attacks are more potent when it is full of food, therefore as it consumes plants, be sure to strike its face to break its gullet.A fierce purple monster

Magnamalo

the Monster Hunter Rise poster kid. Magnamalo is a massive, purple monster with destructive strikes and a strong hide. See how to take it down in our Monster Hunter Rise guide. The Magnamalo manual

Nargacuga

Nargacuga is a crafty and very swift predator that can easily run circles around you. It enjoys using its thorny tail to fight, and as its eyes flame red, so do these assaults.Zinogre

Zinogre collects Thunderbugs during combat in order to increase its attack and become supercharged. In order to make its victim more susceptible to its large claws, it may also unleash thunderbolts and other unpleasant electrical assaults.Anjanath

This tyrannosaurus rex will not give up on its quest for prey. When Anjanath's nose is seen, it releases fire. When it's lying prone on the ground, be sure you break it, then cut off its tail to limit its range.Mizutsune

The mizutsune is a beautiful animal, but don't let it deceive you! It may cause Bubbleblight and cause injuries with its strange bubbles. Additionally, it has the ability to spew lethal concentrated jet streams.Radhalos

Rathalos breathes fire and has deadly claws. It has a reputation for dropping from the skies to attack hunters. This time, it has some new fire-breathing attacks, so avoid getting too near to it when it's in the air.A monster covered in mudAlmudron

This creature stays to itself most of the time, but it has begun attacking hunters without warning. With its tail, it can lift up enormous mud mounds and wield them as a mace.

Harag the Goss

The Goss Harag is a massive, yeti-like animal that prowls the icy plains in quest of food. It has the ability to breathe ice onto its claws, creating freezing swords that do a tonne of damage.

Tigrex

The ferocious Tigrex rushes with such force that its roar may do serious harm to would-be hunters. When it wears itself out, play defensively by avoiding its strikes and then going in for the kill.Diablos

Diablos is renowned for stomping on hunters with its enormous, formidable feet. upon break, it also hurls itself underground upon gullible victims.Jyuratodus

When submerged, this large fish may be quite hazardous, so watch where it moves and make a quick turn if it approaches too closely. Focus on striking its legs when it's on ground.A monster covered in webs

Rakna-Kadaki

With its webs, this creature slows down hunters until it shoots them with a searing gas.

Rajang

When an adversary enrages this gorilla-like creature, it is reported to become golden. When blazing yellow, its vicious strikes are more potent, and its mouth may release a massive burst of energy. Hunt this beast, but proceed with care.

Ibushi Wind Serpent

Of the two new Elder Dragons, this one. It blasts away would-be hunters and flings boulders using its wind-bending abilities.Narwa, the Thunder Serpent

TEOSTRA

This Elder Dragon made its appearance in Monster Hunter World; it spits flaming fire and is wrapped in flames. Its tail and wings can be severed, but its skull is its weakest point.

KUSHALA DAORA

This monster, another Elder Dragon from Monster Hunter World, surrounds itself with strong winds to keep people away.Apex Rathalos

Every breath is a jet of flames from an even more ferocious Rathalos than the already terrible creature. Its roar is so fierce that it sends creatures running in the other direction.APEX DIABLOS
