- [Dan] When Ice Born dropped
for Monster Hunter World, I couldn't believe how
many monsters, new and old, came to Monster Hunter World. So I decided to list out every
monster that's in the game. Every large monster at least. Sorry to all you ride or die wiggler fans, if you want us to cover
the small monsters too, let me know and be sure to
subscribe to the leaderboard. Great Jagras, the Great
Jagras controls its pack but it can't control its appetite, it'll swallow its prey whole, causing its stomach to expand. If you hit its bellow enough, the Great Jagras will spit up its food and be in a weakened state. Pukei-Pukei, the Pukei-Pukei
stores poison in its body and spews it out as a toxic sludge, with its massive tongue it tries to eat whatever is in its path to fill its body with even more poison. Coral Pukei-Pukee, this
Pukei-Pukei variant is exclusive to the coral highlands, and it stores water from
all the plants it eats and then shoots that water back at you, it's not poisonous but the Coral Pukei-Pukei
is much more dangerous. Tobi-Kadachi, as the Tobi-Kadachi flies
through the Ancient Forest, its fur accumulates more
and more static electricity by brushing against all the plants, aim for its tail and don't
let it get a full charge. Thunder is always dangerous but the Viper Tobi-Kadachi
can poison you with its tail and paralyze you with
the bite from its fangs for a deadly status combination. Anjanath, Anjanath looks like
a furry fire-breathing T-Rex, but it does have a weakness, once it's enraged, a
crest appears on its nose that opens it up to serious
damage, it's got wings too but they're even more
obvious on its sub-species. The Fulgar Anjanath,
aside from the thunder, the biggest difference
with this subspecies is its enraged state, instead of the head crest, Fulgur Anjanath sprouts
these striped wings that are susceptible to ice damage. Barroth, Barroth leaves eating ants but it'll squash you like
a bug if it sees you. This brute Wyvern coats itself in mud for some extra protection, but you can clean it
off with water weapons or some puddle pods. Kulu-Ya-Ku, the Kulu-Ya-Ku
may not look like much, and it's not much. It steals eggs from Raffia nests and it'll toss boulders at
you to save its feathers. No worries though, you can just disarm it by smacking the rock out of its arms. Jyuratodus, just like the Barroth, the Jyuratodus protects
itself with mud armor, but again, you can just wash it off to expose the monsters hide. Navigating the mud can be tricky, but just bring a water mantle
and you'll have no issues. Diablos, the Diablos is no joke, this flying Wyvern can stun
you with a massive roar and then charge you with
it's even more massive horns. It'll burrow underground too but a quick screamer pod
will stop it in its tracks and force it topside. It just looks like a new paint job but the Black Diablos is actually
a female Diablos in heat, so as you can imagine,
it's much more aggressive. Thankfully, that screamer pod
trick is just as effective. Rathian, she flies, she roars and she's got poison in her tail, so the Rathian is a jack-of-all-trades. Can't find her? Go to her nest and swipe one of her eggs, she'll make a beeline to
your location to get revenge. She's got a couple
different variations, too. Like the Pink Rathian
has some tougher armor and it's more difficult
to avoid its poison tail, meanwhile the Gold Rathian is a nightmare. Her scales are stronger,
her fire is hotter, and she will not give
you a second to breathe. Rathalos, the king of the skies and the male counterpart to the Rathian, the Rathalos hates to be on the ground, it'll try to swoop down and poison you but a well-placed flash pod
will knock it out of the sky. The Azure variant flies around even more so you'll have to be especially careful with those flash pods. As for the Silver Rathalos,
the best advice I can give you is to buckle in and use water weapons. It's got the same hellfire
as the Golf Rafians, so best of luck. Tzitzi-Ya-Ku, okay so the Tzitzi-Ya-Ku is like a cross between a Velociraptor and one of those old-timey
flashbulb cameras, the organ on its head can stun
hunters with a bright light, but you can dodge it by
avoiding its MGS style cone of vision, of course,
you can also just break it off and the Tzitzi-Ya-Ku loses
its flashing abilities. Paolumu, the Paolumu floats
through the coral highlands, eating other monster's eggs. Even though its main is soft and puffy, especially when it's inflated, its tail is tough and leathery. If the Paolumu's wind
doesn't blow you away first, avoid hitting the tail, you'll
just bounce right off of it. As much as the Paolumu
looks like a pillow, the Nightshade Paolumu will
actually put you to sleep. This subspecies bellows a
sleeping gas from its throat that will knock you out
if you're not careful. Legiana, the Legiana is
all about ice and wind, it uses the cold gale it creates to prevent its prey from escaping, which is usually these wind
drakes called Ruffinos. Shrieking Legiana, as far
as variant species go, the Shrieking Legiana doesn't vary much. It's pretty much a colder,
louder version of the Legiana, I know it just looks
like a frosted Legiana but seriously, the roars on
this thing will ruin your day. Great Girros, like the Great Jagras, the Great Girros has
a squad to back it up. Thing is, the Girros gang
actually has power in numbers, if you don't thin the
herd, Great Girros and co. will constantly paralyze you, turning an easy fight into a chore. Radobaan, the Radobaan
rolls around the Rotten Veil picking up all kinds of
bones to use as armor. Breaking that stuff off is super easy, but just watch out for the sleeping gas it spews every once in awhile. Odogaron, first and foremost,
the Odogaron is fast, if it swipes you with its
claws, it can inflict bleeding. Good luck curing it though, because this thing will be on top of you before you can even scarf
down a well-done steak. Ebony Odogaron, Ebony Odogaron
is basically the same monster but with Dragon element. That doesn't sound fancy
but slapping dragonblight onto an already tough monster
shows how cruel nature can be. Dodogama, the Odogarons eats anything, but the Dodogama mostly eats rocks. The monsters spit turns
those rocks into explosives that it can hurl at
you, but it takes time. Hitting the rocks while
they're in the Dodogama's mouth will detonate them, causing
some serious damage. Uragaan, Uragaan also eats rocks but its mouth is well
protected by that massive jaw. Like the Radobaan, this
brute Wyvern rolls around and even drops some explosive rocks. If you happen to topple it
over, you can mine its back. Lavasioth, after swimming
through molten lava, the Lavasioth pops up
covered in the stuff. Once the lava cools, it
forms a protective shell, which you'll need fire damage
or torch pods to soften up. Of course, you could
also wait for the monster to dive back into the lava. Bazelgeuse, the Bazelgeuse is the B-52
bomber of the new world, dropping explosive scales
all over the place. Even worse, this thing
always shows up uninvited when you're hunting a different monster, just fling a dung pod into its face, hopefully it'll take the
hint and leave you alone. The Seething Bazelgeuse
feels pretty familiar, but it sprinkles blast blight, making all of its explosions
that much deadlier. Zorah Magdoros, the Zorah Magdoros is a
literal walking mountain, complete with farmable geodes. Aside from the ballista, cannon fire and the dragonator of course, the only real way to hurt
this massive Elder Dragon is to attack the magma cores on its body. Of course, you'll still
have to be on the lookout for the Nergigante. Elder Dragon's are always tough but Nergigante eats other Elder Dragons. The spikes on its body look dangerous, but you should try and break them off. If you take too long, they'll turn black and be so tough that you'll
just bounce right off of them. Supposedly, the Ruiner Nergigante is a battle weathered version
of the original Nergigante, but it's not too bad. Even so, it can inflict bleed, and it's spikes will
get tougher on their own as the monster grows weaker. Kushala Daora, The
Kushala Daora shoots wind, it creates tornadoes, but worst of all, it coats itself in wind to stay safe. Wind-proof armor and
hunting horns will help but even that won't work when
this Elder Dragon is enraged and it's gusts turn black. Teostra, getting close
to the Taestra is tough, when it's not covered in fire, it shakes an explosive
powder off of its scales that will inflict blast blight. When it starts flying, that means it's charging a
devastating Supernova attack. The Lunastra is the female
version of the Teostra, but she doesn't have blast blight. Instead, she covers the
whole area with blue flames, they won't stagger you but
they will do damage over time, so bring a fire proof mantle. Vaal Hazak, effluviam is
all over the Rotten Vale, but the Vaal Hazak
thrives in it, even worse, it weaponizes the effluvium
against unprepared hunters. Vaal Hazak is surrounded by the stuff, but it'll even turn it into
a giant beam of miasma, and it probably smells, and I'd bet that the BlackVeil
Vaal Hazak smells even worse. It's covered in toxic spores,
so you can't even hit it without catching a face of effluvium. Kirin, I know, it just
looks like a little unicorn, but any hunter will tell you how dangerous the Kirin really is. When pushed too far, it'll use
its horn as a lightning rod and supercharge itself with
even more lightning powers. Xeno'Jiiva, okay in a game
that's entirely boss fights, the Xeno'Jiiva is the final
boss, of the base game at least. It's big, it's fast and
it fires laser beams. Once it starts flying around, you better be ready to shoot
it down with your slinger or start running. Deviljho, ah yes, the dread pickle. The Deviljho will never stop eating and will immediately pick a
fight with other large monsters to wet its appetite. It'll even grab fanged
Wyverns like the Tobi-Kadachi in its jaws and use them as weapons. Like the Bazelgeuse, you
can expect it to pop up whenever it's the least convenient. If the normal Deviljho is a pickle, than this variant is a pickled habanero. It's basically a
permanently enraged Deviljho with all the dangers that brings, but at least it's more
vulnerable to status attacks. Kulve Taroth, the Kulve Taroth is massive, so there's a lot to hunt, but those golden horns
are the grand prize. Trouble is, you need a
whole team based siege to pull it off, careful
use of falling rocks and cannon fire will help. Banbaro, with its two massive horns, the Banbaro barrels through any trees and hunters that are in its path. This brute Wyvern will dig
up boulders to hit you with and those boulders will
have different effects based on the terrain you're fighting on. Beotodus, the Jyuratodus
swims through mud, the Lavasioth swims through lava and then the the Beotodus
swims through the snow. These Piscene Wyverns
are pretty predictable, it's legs are the week point, so a quick sonic bomb will
send it flying out of the snow for you to do some good damage. Nargacuga, Nargacuga has
these sleek, black wings but don't expect it to fly around, it'll dart across the
ground and it is fast, especially when it's enraged
and its eyes glow red. The feathers or scales or whatever on its tail are super sharp and they'll inflict bleeding
if they hit you enough. Barioth, the Barioth is like the
Nargacuga's bigger, colder cousin. It's also incredibly fast but it'll slow you down
with its ice abilities. Aside from just shooting
ice from its mouth, the Barioth can briefly
create frozen whirlwinds, kind of like the Kushala Daora. Tigrex, I always say Tigrex
but some people say Tigrex, 'cause it kind of sounds like T-Rex but I think it looks like a
tiger so I'm going with Tigrex, if you think it's Tigrex
then good for you, I'm not saying it wrong but, when other monsters
roar, it's inconvenient but the Tigrex roar
will actually damage you if you're too close, and it's not like you
can keep your distance. The Tigrex won't give
you a minute to breathe while it's constantly charging at you, traps will be your best
friend in this fight. Brute Tigrex, calling the Brute Tigrex
a variant is generous, it's pretty much the same monster just bigger and more aggressive, just like the original Tigrex, the Brute variant can throw rocks, so watch out for fire and ice balls, depending on where you're fighting it. Glavenus, just one look at the Glavenus and that massive tail sticks out. Aside from its tail basically
being a giant sword, Glavenus can sharpen it and turn it into a giant flaming sword, it can be tricky to reach its head but once you knock it over,
go for its glowing throat. Acidic Glavenus, for the Acidic Glavenus, you don't have to worry
about fiery explosions, instead the crystallized acid on its tail will inflict you with defense down. The tail does more damage
when it's sharpened, so make sure you heal yourself so you don't get instantly carded. Brachydios, the Brachydios is
as dangerous as it is gross. It covers its arms in its own spit but that spit also explodes, it'll also leave puddles
of that slime around so watch where you step if you
don't want to get blown up. Yian Garuga, preparation
is key for any hunt but it's especially important
for the Yian Garuga. It roars, it flaps its wings,
it's got a poison tail, and wow, does it hit hard. You can slow it down with traps, just as long as they're shock traps. Pitfalls will not work when it's enraged, and the Scarred Yian
Garuga is even tougher. It's apparently tempered
by past failed hunts but you can still wail on its head and exhaust it before
it gets too aggressive. Zinogre, after charging up enough, the Zinogre basically goes super-saiyan and gets super aggressive, but
before it gets to that point, you can smack it on the head
and interrupt it's charging, and hey, while it's knocked
over, you can catch fulgur bugs from the from the fur on Zinogre's back. The Stygian Zinogre
doesn't have fulgur bugs but it does have dracophage bugs. You can farm them off
it's back, but be careful, this monster shoots those
bugs around its body and they'll inflict dragonblight. Rajang, okay, I know I said that the Zinogre goes super-saiyan but the Rajang has
surpassed a super-saiyan. Even without its lightning
beam that comes from its mouth, this fanged beast is dangerous
with its fists alone. Oh, and apparently,
this thing eats Kirins, yeah, Rajang was eating Elder Dragons before Nergigante was ever
a twinkle in Capcom's eye. Velkhana, it's the flag
ship monster of ice-borns, so I don't have to tell you
that Velkhana uses lots of ice. Legends say this Elder Dragon is able to control cold itself. The Velkhana will sometimes
create ice platforms, which smart hunters
can use to get him out. Namielle, once all that ice melts the Namielle is the Elder
Dragon that rules the water. This vampire, squid-looking thing leaves puddles all over the place, and inflicts water and thunder. Fighting this thing is like
fighting a toaster in a bathtub. Shara Ishvalda, when you
first see the Shara Ishvalda it's a massive,
four-legged, boulder Golem, but after enough hits and some explosives like blast weapons, that rocky armor falls away
and reveals its true form. Safi'Jiiva, you remember the
original final boss Xeno'Jiiva? Well, turns out thing was just a baby and the Safi'Jiiva is
that monster all grown up. This Elder Dragon has a flaming super-move that will one shot any
hunter caught in the blast, you can't even Superman dodge through it. All you can do is take
shelter behind some rocks. That's all the monsters from,
you know, Monster Hunter but I got to give a shout-out
to the crossover monsters too. Behemoth, ugh, look, I haven't
played Final Fantasy 14 and I'm all for wacky collaborations but the Behemoth sucks. This thing cast spells out of
nowhere and summons meteors. Look, if you're trying
to fight this thing, go look up some tips from
like, Arekkz or something. Leshen, if you've played The Witcher, then you get why I think Monster Hunter could take a cue from the Leshen. This thing controls lesser
monsters like Revelures and Jagras to attack. It also uses magic to summon
roots and keep hunters away. Of course, all the cool ideas
introduced with the Leshen stop feeling so cool once you
tackle the Ancient Leshen. Like the Behemoth, you'll need a well-coordinated team effort to stand a chance against this thing. So I don't know what the
next collab is going to be but I do know we can
look forward to that new black and green Elder Dragon. What are some classic monsters
you want to see come back? My fingers are crossed for the Niblesnarf. Anyway, my name is Dan, reminding you to eat before every hunt and subscribe to the leaderboard,
all players are welcome, especially hunting horn
players, all five of you.
