Monster Hunter Wilds Monsters
Every large monster in Monster Hunter Wilds – the 29 from launch plus the Title Update monsters up to Gogmazios – with their type and where to find them.
Monster Hunter Wilds launched with 29 large monsters across five locales, and the free Title Updates added five more: Mizutsune, Lagiacrus, Seregios, Omega Planetes and Gogmazios. That's 34 large monsters today – plus tougher Tempered and Arch-tempered versions of many of them.
The expansion Ascendance (2027) will add more, including Master Rank.
