Monster Hunter Wilds monster list and unlock order

A large hairy bear monster attempts to eat a Hunter in Wilds

The monster list in Monster Hunter Wilds is stacked, filled with creatures that range from fan favorites to completely new monsters to the franchise. Each of these monsters have an assigned difficulty, and you’ll encounter some in the game’s lower ranks, while others you’ll need to hunt into the high ranks to discover.

In this Monster Hunter Wilds guide, we’ll walk you through a full list of Low Rank monsters before showing you the High Rank monsters you can fight once you roll credits.

[Ed. note: This guide contains the names of all major story missions in Monster Hunter Wilds, as well as the monsters you’ll fight in them.]

Update (April 4): Added Mizutsune, the first DLC monster, with the arrival of “Title Update 1.”

Below, you’ll find a list of High Rank monsters. Most of these creatures are upgraded versions of their Low Rank counterparts, although there are a few brand-new monsters that are only available in High Rank.

In the table below, you’ll find the name of each monster next to their in-game difficulty level, and the habitats the in-game journal says they can appear in. We’ve also included the hunter rank where we first started encountering them in-game, although it’s possible you could encounter some of these monsters earlier, depending on how your map populates.
