Popular Monsters
View all 33 →The flagship monster of Monster Hunter Wilds — a rare species thought extinct. Its chainblade whips channel raw dragon energy. Only Dragon element is effective; focus the chainblades with cut/blunt/ammo damage.
The Steel Dragon returns for its third consecutive DLC appearance in Ascendance. Kushala Daora is a wind-wielding elder dragon whose black tornadoes deflect bullets and blades. Its metal hide sheds elemental attacks — Elderseal and Dragon weapons are the classic answer.
The colossus of the series returns for the first time since Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate. Lao-Shan Lung is a siege-scale elder dragon that marches toward the Cloud Realm capital — you must stop it before it destroys the fortress.
The flagship of Monster Hunter 4 returns, spreading its Frenzy virus across Wyveria. Fire is the top weakness — Water does nothing. Break the head to stop Frenzy-spreading attacks.
The apex of the Windward Plains, a flying wyvern that channels thunder through its horn-shaped head. It absorbs Thunder damage — never bring thunder weapons. Water is king here.
The hidden final boss of Monster Hunter Wilds, an artificial god-like dragon sealed beneath Wyveria. It is immune to Flash Pods, traps, and status effects — Dragon damage is the only strong element.
