Every Large Monster Confirmed for Monster Hunter Wilds So Far
The Doshaguma Likes to Travel in Packs
While there are many things to take fromthe latestMonster Hunter Wildstrailer, the Doshaguma is undoubtedly one of its biggest stars. Hunters are seen encountering this rugged monster several times throughout the trailer, and the Doshaguma is even used to showcase the game’s new pack mechanics. The Doshaguma is an aggressive, territorial beast with large fangs that can generally be found traveling in packs.
The Chatacabra Uses Its Saliva to Its Advantage
The Chatacabra is another newlarge monster inMonster Hunter Wildswho, like the Doshaguma, makes its home in the Windward Plains. The Chatacabra has a very large tongue that it will likely use against players in combat, but it also uses its saliva to put stones on its forelimbs to make its attacks more powerful.
Rathalos Is a Recurring Monster in the Monster Hunter Franchise
Rathalos appeared briefly in the December 2023announcement trailer forMonster Hunter Wilds. Rathalos is a large dragon and one of theMonster Hunterfranchise’s recurring large monsters.

The Ceratonoth Travels in Herds for Protection From Storms
The Ceratonoth is a new monster featured in both trailers released forMonster Hunter Wilds, though its identity was only just confirmed in the most recent trailer. Ceratonoth are smaller monsters who travel in herds; the male Ceratonoth has large spikes on its back that act as lightning rods and protect the rest of the herd fromdangerous sandstorms inMonster Hunter Wilds.
The Dalthydon Is a Defensive Fighter
Another small monster revealed in the recentMonster Hunter Wildstrailer is the Dalthydon, an amphibious wyvern that looks like a mix of a bison, a ram, and a dinosaur. Dalthydons tend to fight defensively with the hard shells on their head, although a herd of Dalthydons would presumably charge at its prey when threatened.
The Seikret Will Serve as the Player’s Mount
For the first time in a mainlineMonster Huntergame, players will receive what appears to be a free-roam mount in the form of the Seikret. Much like the Raider Ride feature inMonster Hunter: World’s Iceborne expansion, the Seikret can automatically take players to their destination so they have time to prepare for the fight ahead of them.
Capcom will likely continue to reveal more ofMonster Hunter Wilds’ monsters in the future. Until then, it seems there is already a healthy lineup of challenges prepared for daring Hunters in the nextMonster Huntergame.
