The “Queen of the Land,” these female fire- breathing wyverns are known for their powerful legs and lethal, poison-secreting tails.

Fire-breathing female wyverns known as the “Queens of the Land.” Their powerful legs and venomous tails make them efficient ground hunters. At times, Rathian and Rathalos can be sighted hunting as a couple. After laying eggs, Rathian are extremely watchful of their nests. Proceed with extra caution, as a mother will move swiftly to protect her young.

Hunters will need to maneuver carefully to avoid the potent venom in the Rathian’s tail spikes and her wide attack range. By severing the tail, you can limit her reach and gain the upper hand. After breathing fire, the inside of the Rathian’s mouth becomes tender, making it a prime target to strike.

Fearsome wyverns known as “Kings of the Skies.” Armed with powerful poison claws, they use their aerial prowess to descend on prey from above.

Fearsome male wyverns known as the “Kings of the Skies.” Alongside the Rathian, they stake out a wide territory around their nests, and it is the male’s role to watch from above. Armed with powerful poisonous claws and fiery breath, Rathalos use their aerial prowess to descend on invaders.

As Kings of the Skies, Rathalos will attack with a variety of aerial strikes. A bright flash should be enough to disorient them and bring them down. When Rathalos are in trouble, their Rathian mates may swoop in to help, so be sure to have dung pods and large dung pods at the ready.

An artificial species created by an ancient civilization with a Rathalos’s power. Beware the energy released by their powerful claw attacks.

An artificial monster species created by an ancient civilization and imbued with Rathalos’s power. Guardian Rathalos cannot reproduce and do not require food, relying instead on Wyvern Milk for energy. Just like the original Rathalos, they are superior fliers and will attack more violently with their claws while airborne.

The unique Guardian energy from Guardian Rathalos’s claw attacks is explosive and dangerous. This energy will cause wyvern milk on the ground to crystalize, and if these crystals are hit by the monster’s fire attacks it will cause an explosion of the same element. Given that they are triggered by elemental interference, Slinger ammo could be used effectively against them.

Large wyverns found in the Oilwell Basin. Their highly developed carapaces repel attacks and emit powerful heat rays.

Large wyverns found in Oilwell Basin. They have a developed physique, powerful heat rays, and a host of gases they can emit from their body. Their bony carapaces are famously tough but expose a surprisingly brittle interior once destroyed.

It’s no easy task breaking through that heavy armor covering a Gravios head to talon, but repeated attacks will eventually make a crack. That—and the weaknesses a Gravios exposes in its carapace during certain attacks—are your chances to deliver Focus Strikes, demolish it piece by piece, and create even more opportunities.

Bird wyverns with impressive beaks, big ears, and an appetite for insects. Skittish by nature, they will still put up a fight if threatened.

Bird wyverns with impressive beaks and large ears. They tend to be skittish but will sometimes initiate attacks on a perceived threat. Yian Kut-Ku arrive in large groups during the season of Plenty in the Scarlet Forest. The absence of eggs or young suggests that the purpose of this is not to breed, but rather to seek out mates and nourishment.

The Yian Kut-Ku’s superior hearing comes with great sensitivity to sound. A loud noise is sometimes all it takes to stop them in their tracks, reason enough to make liberal use of sonic bombs. But there’s a catch: once a Yian Kut-Ku comes back to itself, it’s going to be really flocking mad and come at a hunter even more viciously than before.

Monsters that use their prominent crest to stun foes with disorienting flashes of light before finishing them off with poisonous saliva.

Wyverns that can stun enemies by striking their prominent crests to produce powerful flashes of light. Their stretchy, rubbery hide resists blunt impacts and reduces the effectiveness of shock traps. A smart hunter knows to maneuver carefully around the poisonous filth they spew, which drips from ceilings or down slopes.

Faced with a Gypceros, a hunter has two headaches to deal with: the poison and the flashes. The poison will pool and hamper your movements, but you can clear it away with some watermoss. As for the flashes, destroying its crest will stop them; in the meantime, it’s a good idea to take cover. If you can see its crest glow before the attack, that means you’re still inside the dazzling danger radius.

Large, pink fanged beasts. Beware their potent breath, which changes based on their mushroom diet, and stench, which disables recovery items.

Large fanged beasts with pink fur and a distinct crest, which the males sculpt with plant oils and juices as a sign of virility. Congalala are common in temperate forests and are therefore well researched. They’re big eaters and love mushrooms, which they absorb and then exhale as a variety of potent breaths that inflict poison, blast, paralysis, and more.

The stench from a Congalala is so rancid that healing items have no effect. But you can quickly dispel it with a deodorant or by evading in water. Those farts are also trouble, but a hunter might just spot an opportunity if they watch carefully. Congalala are also known to use any breath type—a trick some have attributed to the black mushrooms they’re seen digging up. For more tips and info on Congalala’s ecology, key weaknesses, low and high rank rewards, and our strategy for how to beat it, check out our complete Congalala monster guide.

Large, white fanged beasts that rule over other Blango, attacking as a pack. They exhibit a range of mobility, particularly in snowy climes.

Large, white fanged beasts that rule over other Blango, attacking intruders as a pack. Its muscularity and mobility allows it to strike swiftly, even on fresh snow, and pounce from long distances—so hunters with long-range weapons still need to stay on guard. Large tusks are the mark of a powerful leader.

Blangonga use snowy ground to their advantage for extra mobility, and can summon other Blangos to gang up on unwary hunters. Use extra caution when they’re angry, because they can direct the whole pack at a chosen target with perilous efficiency. Watch out for that freezing breath, too. Destroying a Blangonga’s tusks is believed to undermine its authority with the other Blangos, disrupting their teamwork.

Temnocerans that afflict poison, sleep, and webbing ailments—skillfully cornering prey, then hunting it with their pincer-like jaws.

Temnocerans that inhabit the Iceshard Cliffs. They weave vast, sticky webs across their territory, using them and various status ailments to corner prey before utilizing pincer-like jaws to finish it off. Sometimes dead Gypceros can be found in the webs, the hides of which Nerscylla are known to adorn themselves with after devouring the rest of the carcass.

To defend against the poison, sleep, and binding effects of a Nerscylla’s webbing, a hunter must go in duly prepared. While its powerful pincers are quite dangerous, they can and should be targeted as a weakness, provided they are approached correctly. The Gypceros hides draped on a Nerscylla’s back are resistant to thunder but susceptible to fire—qualities that are reversed once the hide is destroyed.

Monsters draped in great wings like a black overcoat. They have no eyes, so instead they use a scattering of fine scales to locate prey.

Monsters that drape themselves in their great wings, like a black overcoat. They have no eye sensory organs, so instead they use a scattering of fine scales from their wings to locate prey. When their sensory capacity increases, antennae appear on their heads and they unfurl their wings, entering the aggressive Frenzy State. Their black scales can Frenzy other creatures as well, making them fearsome adversaries.

Gore Magala will use its wings to attack anything it detects with its sensory scales without abandon. If a hunter contracts the Frenzy, their natural healing will decrease and any damage taken will increase, but an experienced hunter knows to keep attacking to raise their metabolism before the virus takes to avoid negative effects. Target the head to put a stop to Gore Magala’s Frenzy.

Not only can the lightning charged in their bodies be released as an attack, they can also use it to empower themselves and perform vicious biting attacks.

A hunter must watch out for a Guardian Fulgur Anjanath’s sparks and teeth. While their lightning attacks alone are a threat, their maws infused with Guardian energy will cause wide-range explosions. Try to topple one by aggressively targeting its legs. The crystals that form from their attacks will explode through elemental interference, so Slinger ammo can also be effective.

Guardian Ebony Odogaron are most notable for their honed claws that induce bleeding and dexterous tails, both of which carry Guardian energy that can trigger explosions. If their dragon-element attacks connect with Wylkrystals, it will cause an explosion of the same element. However, since the crystals are triggered through elemental interference Slinger ammo can also be used effectively.

Fanged beasts that are sometimes seen traveling in packs. Ruggedly built and extremely aggressive, Doshaguma won’t hesitate to throw everything they’ve got at enemies—even other small monsters. They have been known to take prey back to their dens, which sometimes leads to violent disputes.

When Doshaguma are low on health, their wounds open, exposing a weak point. They’ll grow more aggressive, though, so beware of counterattacks. Their stomachs are exposed when rising to their hind legs, which is a relatively soft target and potential weak point. Use their mobility to lure them into rock and vine traps.

Desert-dwelling leviathans that use their supple, serpentine bodies to create quicksand traps. Weak against sonic bombs when they’re submerged.

Desert-dwelling leviathans that build carapaces out of the fulgurite formed by lightning strikes. They use their flexible skeletons and serpentine bodies to create quicksand traps for unwary prey. Inside their mouths are multiple eye-like sensory organs. The mucus they secrete contains luminous bacteria and is believed to aid visibility while they are submerged and other low-light conditions like sandstorms.

The interior of a Balahara’s mouth is a soft target that can be exploited if you strike right after it expels mucus. Since they rely on heightened hearing while submerged, sonic bombs or screamer pods—obtainable from Baunos—are highly effective.

Chatacabra are amphibians that affix rocks to their forelimbs to power up attacks. Break this “armor” to create an attack opening. The tongue is most vulnerable.

Chatacabra use their long tongues to seize and devour prey such as Bulaqchi. Their evolved forelimbs store a sticky mucus-like substance. When agitated, Chatacabra rub their forelimbs against the ground to collect stone and ore, widening the range and destructiveness of their blows.

The Chatacabra’s soft tongue is the place to strike; look for openings after their attacks or when they become tired. Destroying the ore stuck to their forelimbs will leave them wide open to attack. They roam a wide area, so environmental elements like falling boulders or Flashflies will be useful in taking them down. To give you an idea of how hungry these things can get, some hunters have witnessed them swallowing entire barrels during their charges. For more tips and info on Chatacabra’s ecology, key weaknesses, low and high rank rewards, and our strategy for how to beat it, check out the Chatacabra entry in our monster guide.

Brute wyverns that spread flammable vapor which they then ignite with their tails. They subsist on prey stolen from other predators.

Brute wyverns with disproportionately long tails. They spread a flammable substance which vaporizes quickly, then ignite it by dragging their tails along the ground. By nature, Quematrice rarely hunt their own prey, and instead scavenge herbivore carrion left behind by other predators. This often leads to confrontations with other, smaller carnivores.

Keep an eye on where flammable material settles on the ground to gauge how much a Quematrice’s fire will spread. Since they rely on their tails to attack from a distance as well as to start blazes, a hunter can weaken this monster significantly by cutting it off.
