You can pick one animal to have a monster equivalent what animal would you pick and why

I wanna see a centipede Monster!

[GIF] 

If It has to be a shrimp then gotta be a mantis shrimp, it can be the new water brachydios

More elephants and turtles and add a praying mantis

Pangolin, secretary bird, some actually mammalian cat monsters, parrot, rhino, toucan, hippo. More actual mammals and birds instead of reptiles that are based on mammals or birds

Kangaroo because it lacks representation in gaming compared to other animals.

I wouldn’t mind a fanged beast based of a jaguar mostly because I want to see more cat based monsters. 

Peacock.

Could have razor feathers on wings/tail it attacks you with, maybe a flash stun attack with tail feathers too

I want to see a badger or wolverine. Tenacious little bastards would be TERRIFYING if amplified in size.

I'd also like to see a new world tarantula who uses its urticating hairs on its abdomen as an attack. Then once it's gone bald in that spot it switches to a more aggressive fighting style

A mole would be cool imo

Dude, hear me out, imagine this, a giant fly that summons a cloud of tiny flies to basically nibble you to the bone

Bearded vulture or any kind of vulture to that extent. I think that'd be neat.

I think Eurypterids speak for themselves.

[Image] 

They just look like something from MH. Also I think that it would be cool to have a semi aquatic Eurypterid with behavior similar to Royal Ludroth, a fully aquatic Eurypterid that has behavior like Gobul, and a full terrestrial Eurypterid that can be a Scorpion monster, while not looking like a "generic" scorpion monster.

Biiiiiig worm. No armor or plating on it or anything. Just a big pink squishy worm with no discernible features.

The armor we make from it has high defense (for its tier) because blows will bounce right off of you. It wouldn’t have any armor skills until master rank.

A giraffe could be interesting. Though it would most likely only be interesting to see what the monster looks like since I can't imagine how they would make something like that fight

I'd fight the classic mystical flying whale.

Same I want to see one team up with a Piscine Wyvern like how Pistol shrimps have a relationship with Gobis in real life (Shoutouts to u/PircRick for this cool art of the concept)

[Image] 

Hm, hear me out ok? A green Dragon.

That said I like Scorpions.

I think theres a bit of a challenge to be found whit Coral, Anemone, or Clam Monsters. Because they seemn to be passive stationary, and somewhat boring. Changing that might cause some realy unexpected Results.

Mh needs a Chinese dragon in my opinion, but if I could pick any animal, I would pick a sea slug

This cute lil' guy.

Ankylosaurus

Snow Leopard. I have no reason for this other than I think it would be a great way to fill out the Fanged Wyvern collection with another unique fighting style compared to the others.

Cassowary Bird Wyvern

Some new snake whyvern would be cool. Give it like a super thin tail that it can use like a whip

Tardigrade, I don't need to elaborate

Maybe Harpy Eagle

I want a squirrel that throws nuts, wait is bishatan a squirrel?

GIVE US A TURTLE MONSTER.

MANTIS SHRIMP WITH CRAZY LAZER EYES

SUPERFAST PAWNCHES THAT BREAK YOUR SHIT

SCUDDLING AROUND LIKE A SKITTISH CRITTER

Trapdoor Spider,

Monster version could quickbuild pit falls and pull an uno reverse on the Hunter.

A sheep/ram. The monster can fire off their wool that slows down the hunters movement and prevents it from being paralysed by paratoads. The wool, once in contact with the paralysis, can fire its wool off, and if the hunter gets hit, they get paralysed. Same with other stasis elements like sleep.

Mammal cow, not a wyver but and actual mammal

Don't think we have a monster equivalent of a pangolin yet but the new small monster herds are like them. Would also love maybe a giant bee monster? Give it a honey ability that attracts the bear monster or any large herbivores? Like like queropekos call gimmick

Bring back turtles!

Giant tiger like monster.

A goose. Like it does that thing where it rears up, shows you a beak full of weird hook teeth and spreads it's wings before ducking low and charging at you while the head moves in a serpentine fashion while it hisses at you like a deranged snake.

Chihuahuas..

[GIF] 

Ok, not an animal, and I might be in the minority here, but I like when they mix Monsters with popular fiction. Malzeno is an extremely cool Monster, and basing him off of draca was a pretty good move.

That said, I want a monster based off a Xenomorph. It'd be cool hearing about a group of Monsters that are acting as parasites for other monsters, reportedly growing inside them, or straight up bursting out of the monster after a hunt, and a massive queen being behind it all. The Monsters born from other monsters taking up traits of the ones they are born from, so sometimes they afflict you with fireblight, sometimes water blight. It'd be pretty cool to hear that the queen was born from a black dragon, like Fatalis.

Oh hey, same here.

Land octopus

A massive chihuahua.

Just make a 3D model of a cassowary and just make it bigger. That's all they'd have to really do

Squirrel. I want it to stun someone, shove them into its mouth pouch, and run off with them to their nest, leaving the rest of the party.

Then the victim has to 1v1 the monster until the rest of the party make it to the monster's nest at the top of the tree.

Call it "Torportoskr"

Ground sloth.

A long nose gar would be sick

[Image] 

Have we had a moth monster? I feel like that would be cool. Maybe another owl.

I feel like a synergy combo between two monster would be nice , like the little suction cup fish on shark

I want more snakes. Like basic monsters. Not elder dragon, though id LOVE more snake ones, but a silly lanky little guy whose maybe like the Great Jagras n Great Izuchi in the games, has little snake guys who wrap around you like the Wulgs do. AHH i love snakes😭

Something like a tiger beetle. They’re fast and ferocious in real life already and have huge, scary jaws. Not to mention they have pretty iridescent exoskeletons that would translate to cool armor sets

Koala. Those bastards are already Satan incarnate

A sea horse pescine could be something incredibly unique

A Millipede.

Harpy Eagle, because I want an actually dangerous bird type creature instead of it immediately being obsolete after HR3 and because I want to see what capcok does to make a cool bird design without either A. Making it a dragon, or B. Just making a gryffin, because I know capcom would do better with it

The kakapo. A giant dumb flightless bird that can create massive bass frequencies that vibrate the soil. Ramp that up to eleven and you have a mobile sonic earthquake bird with feathers so dense and thick a HEAT round would bounce off them

Jumping spider beginner tier monster, like Tobi kadachi or kut ku

Can we just have a Great Larinoth already? There are no big monster sauropods!

A flying wyvern based on the great albatross.

Basically just a stupidly huge, migratory, fish-eating, maritime flying wyvern.

It’s going to be THE heaviest known flying wyvern, with the longest wingspan. It’s not going to be a siege boss like Lao Shan Lung or Zorah Magdaross. It’s still perfectly fightable, it’s just comically big, like pushing the upper limit on how big can a monster be while still being fightable normally.

It won’t have any elements. It’s just going to make use of its sheer bulk and brute strength in fights. Kind of like Diablos and Tigrex, except this one can and will fly all the time.

This thing would be elder dragon status for how powerful that punch attack would be

More varied mammals (made me sad that Banbaro and Paolumu were placed on wyvern bodies instead of being Fanged Beasts and getting their own skeletons), true not-wyverns-with-feathers birds, and invertebrates would be great. There is admittedly some great variety in all the ways they've done wyverns/dragons/leviathans, but always refreshing to see more unique animal types.

Axolotl. A monster that regenerates its parts sounds sick as hell. I would imagine you would kill it and it comes back to life after being slain, maybe sorta like world’s sieges (Or a monster where you‘re required to capture it).

South American Tero Tero a bird that is black and white with red eyes and legs that attacks with barbs in its wings and can gather in large groups to make larger pretatorian birds flee their territory

[Image] 

Yeah, monster designer, I'm not doing your job

A peregrine falcon , i want to battle a big bird

Praying Mantis

Hear me out....marsupials. Like a Brute or fanged wyvern based off of the Tasmanian tiger.

I want a Mosasaurus equivalent if only so we get another badass underwater monster like Lagiacrus

If hunters can hunt under water again, I think fighting a trilobite can be cool

[Jerboa](), because from what we have seen in the trailer the handler has "Dallah" in her back bag so I think Monster Hunter Wilds will take place in a place similar to the Middle East like Rise with Japan, so it makes sense to have an animal from the Middle East that is known for having long legs and long tail and lives in the desert.

A few options:  An ant based monster. It could take the first Big Monster role like the -drome lineup. A queen that calls in small monster to aid it in battle.

A land bird, like an emu or a flightless road runner.

An octopus or squid. Maybe mixed with a shelled creature to explain how it can survive on land for extended periods of time.

A rodent of unusual size.

Gotta be the Honey badger surely???

Gorilla, a Rajang without the element and more of a raw destruction. Make it elder level with a variant that’s silver (like a silverback gorilla)

I like to see more monsters inspired by Ceratopsians aside from Diablos and Monoblos.

I want to see a Blue Alcon, I want it to act like in real life and use their sent to influence other bug to do what they want to do. It would be such an interesting and unique monster to fight

[Image] 

I would first like to see a fox. A fox with an altered tobi skeleton that is based around stealth.

Then maybe a raccoon (a monster that can be seen scavenging food from human settlements). So a raccoon the size of a small bear maybe.

A really big giant panda. Tie in some interesting lore with metal eating.

A scorpion could be cool. It would be interesting to see a rivalry between a scorpion and a fox.

A rolly polly maybe.

Maybe a triceratops. Could have a rivalry with a theropod like monster.

As for an elder dragon… maybe something that can cause volcanos. I think there is already one like that though so I am unsure.

Maybe a plant monster. Don’t know how it would work though.

An elder dragon that causes things that wouldn’t normally happen to happen. Like flipping a coin and having it land on one side 100 times in a row.

A horse monster that leads a herd could be interesting.

An elder dragon that is only active at night.

I have another idea that I think would be cool is that what if we had a bird wyvern based on the potoo. 

Oh I did a pistol shrimp/bear combo monster once. Nice choice!

[Image] 

An otter, make it a cute lil guy who bashes your skull in with a rock

Trantula hawk

I’m biased because I love foxes, but based on Murakumo from Wild Hearts, a Kitsune monster would be an instant 10/10 from me

An olm

Coconut crab

Octopus

A really angry capybara

Octopus where you can cut all tentacles and it'll be an extra carve

Iguanodon as a elder dragon threat level large monster

A crocodile or crocodilian, Lagiacrus sorta resembles one but that’s the closest in any of the games tbh. Maybe they could base one of them off of the old land crocs that used to exist.

A pangolin monster

A hobbit worm monster, it's an under water centipede with ridiculous jaws and paralytic poison

you want pistol shrimp? time to get into elden ring man.

Alligator snapping turtle

A sand sting ray kinda thing would be cool... I'm thinking like that boss from demon souls but better

Lammergeier, just because of how cool a design inspired by one could be.

more bird wyverns but the more bird-like similar to malfestio, qurupeco and aknosom

I am a mythology nut, so I want a monster pair based off of scylla and charbydis or a real animal in the giant squid.

Prarie Dog. The fight is basically whack-a-mole

Peacock

I would like some more unique bird wyverns, especially if they are modelled after more unusual birds like owls, peacocks, or raptors. (The bird kind, not the dinosaur kind)

I feel like a monster-scorpion's tail would be so much FUN to cut off

Maned wolf

Surfing snail would be cool, because its a good challenge to have to make a Monster. Bonus points if its also a dragon

What i would love to see is a Monster Equivalent of a Kangaroo as well as some herbivorus species such as Cassowarys, Porcupines’ Giraffes Pangolins and even Deer and even extinct Chalicotheres because herbivores are known to be powerful and just as dangerous as the predators. It would also be nice to add more diversity in some of the classes such as Fanged Beasts for example

A bat because it would be cool af. I'm picturing the bat monster to have a similar ambiance to Khezu and perhaps that there would even be some lore between the two monsters.

Turtle

Give me a capybara monster. No explanation needed.

Cassowary, Harpy Eagle or Leech

Platypus.

Spinosaurus Egypticus or a related species like the Baryonyx. A semi-aquatic brute wyvern would be interesting.

Mantis Shrimp. I wanna see a large shrimp looking monster that as a unique passive, its attacks (blazing fast punches) ignore your resistances and inflicts stun and fireblight. Of course it would have a wind up as it locks onto one hunter before lashing out with a devastating flurry of punches that cause blasts of heated air to travel past the strike range, just to give hunters a split second choice to either guard(if your weapon allows it, though a strike will severely reduce your weapon’s sharpness) or dodge out of the way and line up for a retaliatory strike due to the fatigue these punches leave on the monster. It would be shrimply amazing!

[Image] 

I would actually shit my pants if I ever came across a goddamn Mantis Shrimp monster

How about another dragon?

A spider

Imagen a duo that are inspired by the mantishrimp

Raccoon , squirrel, springbok , axolotol, praying mantis, rhinoceros beetles, wolverine, fox or more amphibian/ insect or bird

WOLVES , they’re promoting the herd/pack mechanic at least add an inspired monster that uses those tactics

Need more insectoid monsters and molusk

A slug

Raccoon.

You never specified it had to be a LARGE monster :3

As for why? I like raccoons.

Seahorse

Not a horse that looks like it belongs in the sea, i mean a seahorse, tjose weird floating creatures that can have the wildest growths for camouflage.

Shoebill

Spinosaurus, therizinosaurus, mononykus and queztacoatlus.

Spinosaurus because we need more brutes that aren’t just tyrannosaurs. Therizinosaurus because it’d be really interesting to have a brute wyvern that breaks the formula of being a big predator or a bulky herbivore and is instead a bad tempered pot belly herbivore. Mononykus because I’d like to see a skittish insectivore bird wyvern, a creature that’ll use speed and agility to escape predators but quicks and slashes on hunters. and Quetzalcoatlus because imagine rathalos squaring up to a bird wyvern that looks like a giant azrachid pterosaur.

Tapeworm

Axolotl. Could do some interesting stuff with that.

A moth monster would be cool I think.

We really need more snake wyverns; specifically one of this little guy:

[Image] 

Either that or a cassowary

Give me a scorpion that’s in a main series game

Spider crab with a snow affinity or a Llama

a new fish monster based on dunkleosteus. It is a big prehistoric fish that was armored and had one of the most destructive bites for a fish so it would be cool to reference this by making its biting attacks do a crapton of damage but is balanced out by making it a bit on the slow side. Also you would need a weapon with good sharpness as it is armored and you fight it underwater.

I want an land anglerfish type monster like maybe a mechanic similar to world where you can find random felynes to join you on hunts but there's a monster with a fake one as it's antine it uses to draw it prey

Mabye a otter i rlly like them in ark there is a mod that er is a giga otter where you can ride on it i rlly like that

You must not be an Elden Ring player.

When I'm playing Elden Ring and I see a lobster, I take the long way around.

I would be interested in seeing the mechanics of a shell-less slug. It could do stuff like barrioth mud coating the shake but slime instead.

Beetle or Isopod

A huge worm lamprey monster. Needs to be able to swallow you. No wings or legs. Just worm like movement.

Another cool option would be something based off a goat.

Tardigrade. They're practically indestructible, can survive almost anywhere and are almost impossible to kill already at half a mm in size. Imagine what it could do if it was a lot bigger. Considering it hasn't evolved it has clearly reached perfection already.
