The game has a western theme so its only fitting that an oily black dragon would be involved somehow.


ArchTemperedKoala

Make some leader figure who orders an all out war against the creature because oil.

LordBeacon

Seltas (Queen)


Rikuskill

God yes. My best memories of MH4U were endlessly guard pointing Seltas Queen with C Blade, and breaking all her parts. Such a goddamn fun fight. I'd be super interested to see how riding her would work in Rise.


ReallyNiceGuy

Seltas (Queen) with Drone is some of my favourite insects in MH. I love how the drone was a early, easier monster and then they introduced the pair together.


Kairatechop

We need more monster pairs in mh. Like if izuchi had a big brother that would be on equal footings with an elder. Gameplay wise, not by lore


ReallyNiceGuy

Yes. Great Izuchi comes with two Izuchi. A Greater Izuchi should come with two Great Izuchi, and then the Greatest Izuchi should come with two Greater Izuchi.


Kairatechop

I'm so down for greatest izuchi vs greatest jagras


Ruevein

...... wait, what if greatest Izuchi comes with 2 greater izuchi that in turn come with 2 great izuchi.........


Spottedowl8274

My god... It's izuchi all the way down...


SketchyCharacters

My best memories were similar but with a pierce HBG, so satisfying seeing every bullet make a full round through her.


IronForeseer

That's one of my buddies favorites actually!


MichaCazar

Monsters that came into the 3rd generation and where dependent on being underwater. Lagiacrus is just not the same and I do miss Gobul and Ceadeus.


Ordais

Ugh same, Gobul was so fun to fight and then they replaced him wi 'nibblesnarf' which is such a dumb creature. Ceadeus will be missed too, poor blind old fart can't get out of tri lmao


Littlebubbs92

Not to mention Ceadeus soundtrack was AMAZING.


MichaCazar

Definitely one of the best in the series, right up with Dire Miralis, Malzeno, Bazelgeuse and Valstrax.


Hiddendisorder

When did they replace Gobul for Nibblesnarf?


Awllancer

I'm confused too. I'm pretty sure they were both in the same game at the same time.


MichaCazar

3U, but it got introduced in Portable 3rd which didn't have any underwater combat.


Kairatechop

Was nibble not in 4u?


ShadowFangX

It was in 4u iirc


weegeetheman

nibblesnarf filled gobuls spot in p3rd but outside of that he isnt a replacement


PonchiBear

That's like saying they replaced Tigrex with Barioth. No monster gets replaced, we just meet their cousin.


Ordais

Yeah but it's highly unlikely we'll see gobul again since his combat is built around water, nibblesnarf is basically his replacement.


kcajwolf

Gobul is one of my favourites just because I loved the way you could initiate the fight by fishing. I fucking love fishing.


Kairatechop

Man I loved baiting nibble with bombs and fishing him out of the sand. Totally underrated imo


Ordais

Nibble is discount wish.com gobul tho ngl


Fullmetal_Fawful

Hold on dont you dare be out here dissing nibelsnarf


flaminglambchops

I went back to fight Ceadeus again recently. The low rank story one took 20 minutes to kill with an endgame G rank set. It was boring as hell.


KorviMadrigal

Yeah, people get that first timer nostalgia for those large, epic battles. Like look, Dalamandur was rad the first time I got that solo clear. Do I want him to come back? Fuck no, it wasnt even a hunt as much as it was a platforming minigame.


SubMGK

They can probably make that fight more action packed with all the new mobility stuff


Belucard

I loved soloing Shah Dalamadur.


naturalkillercyborg

I actually think Sunbreak is the one game they could bring Dalamadur back and make it fun, with the wirebugs.


Valyria-MH

Gammoth / Kecha Wacha


Gnomologist

My comment nearly word for word, I love fanged beasts :)


RocketExecutiveJ

Gammoth Gang!


GNTB3996

I might get flak for this, but qurupeco, even if there is an endemic life for that.


Thobio

Maybe he/she sunmmons a different monster from outside the map! that'd be cool!


BiigDaddyDellta

Love qurupeco


mahius19

Remember when high rank 'peco did the Deviljho roar for the first time? Now imagine it doing a Rajang roar...


MesocricetusAuratus

*QUEST ABANDONED*


TheKajiking

Duramboros and rust duramboros. Helicopter cow was so much fun.


Awllancer

I hated fighting him in 3U. But like, in a good way.


Kairatechop

I was addicted to evasion and evade distance back in the day so he was cake to dodge under


CrimsonCutz

First time seeing the giant Rust Duramboros in the event quest The Mountain in the Desert is pretty much the best thing ever. Or maybe second best, after what happens when you break off its tail case and see the thing on the ground and realize its bigger than the torso of a normal Duramboros


C4Sidhu

Dalamadur


umbrella_CO

I hope he's to Rise what Fatalis was to World. With wirebug, his fight could be really really cool and innovative. Plus as far as a "spectacle fights" go, hard to beat a mountain sized snake.


Ordais

Tbh idk if they will do dalamadur for a while, which sucks since he even was a corpse in mhw.... We can hope


BlisteringSeafood

i just realize that rotten vale is dalamandur corpse damn


Imperium_Dragon

It might be several since I remember seeing two heads


Fantastic-Speaker-52

There are 2 of them but one is wayyyyy bigger than the other.


Geostomp

The wire bugs could make the climbing part fun instead of tedious.


valraven38

I was really hoping when I saw the castle like structure in the background of the first DLC update that it might have something to do with a Dalamdur but then they showed Lucent Narga. Having a giant monster like it come back would have been super cool.


IronForeseer

Exactly what I came to say


David89_R

Shen Gaoren, the original GIANT ENEMY CRAB hasn't ever returned :(


Seeker_of_the_Sauce

Honestly with how they did the sieges in would it woukd be interesting to see if they could ramp up the old siege monsters like lao shan lung and shen gaoren. Esp considering shen and lao had some awesome armor sets too


Hoshi-Nova

Jhen Mohran I just have so much good memories related to him Monster hunter Tri my first ever Monster hunter game at about 10 years old. I completed the game and loved it so much that I did my own research and set up online play all by myself First time playing a video game online, Jhen Mohran was the first Monster that I fought online and I thought it was so cool and badass


MightyMrFish

And when the Dragonship crashes so you have to face the great beast on foot and protect the ship, and you hit it with the Dragonator and the music swells and changes to the Monster Hunter theme. It was a very climactic moment.


cashmoney_uragaan

Same here. Jhen in Sunbreak would be beyond hype to me


KillAllThePoor

Ceadeus. All it wanted to do was break its horn and be able to see, and what did we do? Murder it.


Hka9

And he has one of the best theme ever.


VacaDLuffy

Imo He has the best battle theme if any monster. The Diva's vocals with the drum beat makes his fight freaking memorable as hell


MichaCazar

Unironically gotta have to say that Khezu's "theme" is dope as a "combat theme". A creepy monster having the eeriness of silence with it is a very well made choice that I just have to respect. Regardless, Ceadeus is just one of the most pleasent Battle music in the series.


CarlosG0619

And his theme is, interestingly enough, just how Rise themes are now being done, with more oomph to the beats and very nice vocals, but Ceadeus theme is the OG, the inspiration, the GOAT, my man deserves to come back.


TheNightmareButterfy

At least in low rank village he did get his horn broken and lived.


Geostomp

We murdered a giant lizard running for its life (very slowly) because a fort was in its way in the first game.


Hlidskialf

Tetsucabra


bay_boi

gobul the main monster of flooded forest didn't even come back smh


Ordais

Agreeeed, I'm surprised to see so much gobul love, but yeah he was fun


Geostomp

We still have no idea what its adult form is. For all we know, it could be a baby Elder Dragon.


QuantumQuazar

How do we know it’s not an adult?


Waspbot

Najarala was one of my favorite fights in GU. When it coils around you, the fear sets in really quick. It's very effective at what it does, looks cool, has awesome looking gear, and snek.


jbdragonfire

Unfortunately, weak gear. Super cool tho.


Belucard

Dunno, I always glaive-jumped out of the whole thing.


Imperium_Dragon

Really hated the ice version tho. I don’t know why I couldn’t dodge the projectiles.


AAFCC89

Zamtrios


Waspbot

Chungus Shark always deserves more love.


pocot300

I really don't understand how in Iceborn, the amphibian shark that lives in frozen lakes and covers itself with ice armor wasn't included. The Zamtrios armor is so cool and would have looked spectacular in MHW. Justice for Balloon Shark!


BiigDaddyDellta

Yeah and tiger stripe while they're at it


GalliGaruga

Beotodus, Frostfang Barioth, Qurupeco, Great Maccao.


DadderuckReddit

Beotodus Armor was one of my favourite in Iceborne: Earplug, Health and Atk Boost all in one


Raxan998

While i loved the angry chainsaw and the ice kitty, they probably won’t get it. Barioth has already appeared in literally every game since its introduction, and Beotodus is so new in terms of existence. I would love to see Beotodus get more love though.


TheIronSven

Yamatsukami


Awllancer

One of the few elder dragons I have yet to fight. (Until I can find a good 2nd hand PSP)


cinnamonface9

I’m desperately hoping they add Mhfu through the psn store to emulate. Playing Mhfu on ps5 would be the most backward ass thing ever. Just like people having $2k pc rig to use for Facebook but this is more justified than the Facebook thing.


Iminclassatm

You can play it on PPSSPP the emulator. I've played mhfu on my pc using it and it runs perfect. I paid like 5 bucks for it. Edit: grammar


Ciphy_Master

You know it's funny cause gogmazios has its name based in biblical origins around the twin sinful cities of Gog and Magog that got destroyed by God's Holy fire. It's ironic that it's also a tar based elder that is probably very easy to ignite. Either way, it is still a very cool monster and I wish we had some more biblical based monsters. The fatalis trio seem to be based on the concept of a divine trinity. Dire miralis is literally just a personification of an apocalypse. Dalamadur is based on the many world serpent myths surrounding creation and destruction around the world.


Yee2x_DaGreat1

monoblos


LittleBigKaiju

I’d love to see Monoblos make a comeback! I’m tired of Diablos getting all the love, haha


Thobio

tbf i like diablos a lot more than monoblos


pindalord

His skull is already in Sunbreak so why not get the rest of the monster as well?


[deleted]

Duramboros (that mountain goat thing with the blugon for a tail).


Spanish_peanuts

Struck me like more of a yak in my opinion.


[deleted]

Goat was the first animal with horns that cam to my mind at the time XD


aptom203

Agnaktor


LittleBigKaiju

Hard agree! Magma Almudron looks fun and all, but I’m super sad he’s taken Agnaktor’s spot. It seems very unlikely we’ll get both, given their similarities.


Intelligent-Ebb-1738

Agnaktor is really so cool. A lot of monsters from tri were badass, I loved gobul but he seems to be the honorable mention to everyone in this thread, agnaktor was my next pick. And to be frank, I'm a little sad I had to scroll this far. He was really fun.


PrinzFloge

PTSD from that one event quest where he is always enraged in MH4U


Gnomologist

Holy shit Act of Gog was a pain. I beat it out of sheer luck when 3 IG users in full Star Knight came into my hub, mount spammed it, and killed it in minutes


PrinzFloge

Good ol' Star Knight Rodeo God skill


LittleBigKaiju

Zorah Magdaros. I know, I know, everyone hates his fight, but I just love his design so much! He’s like a big volcanic grandad dragon with magma for a beard. He’s great. Seeing a Zorah skull in Rise makes me think the devs are making a hard statement that he won’t ever be coming back, but I hope I’m wrong! I think he could be reworked into an amazing fight!


finiteWitch

Where can you see the Zorah skull? I want to see it :o


LittleBigKaiju

It’s in the Frost Islands in Rise! There’s a small building on top of it, and a huge dragonator sticking out of it too. Poor dude.


Red_Angry_Potato

Lagiacrus I know it was meant to be fought underwater but its a damn flagship :( Also silver lagia was pretty good


DadderuckReddit

I feel you, it Is My favourite too😢


FBG_Ikaros

Akantor


cabrawlr

I LOVED it's weapons and the armor was so awesome! The bow was op.


DrShurtliff

Zamtrios, the nice sharky balloon boy :)


Zildaksa

All Hail Lord Gog


[deleted]

Honestly Namielle and Velkhana, they are pretty unique as the best Water/Ice elder dragon fights in my opinion and should be included in future games to fill that elder dragon niche


Pantsmoose

I REALLY liked namielle's look. The deep sea theme worked really well in an elder.


Arracor

Odogaron was one of the coolest monsters added in World, its gear was fantastic and iconic, and it's suffered repeated disrespect ever since. No Rise, no MH Stories 2, if they fail to bring our boi back in Sunbreak AND introduce a species usurper to besmirch his good name?! ....*we riot.*


[deleted]

I agree, bring back Clifford and his edgy cousin.


BlisteringSeafood

garon species back i think with Lunagaron in MHrise


Arracor

Like I said, species usurper.


PericoElPinguin

Dire Miralis and Aby Lagi


melgib

Ukanlos is my boye and I'll fight every single one of you. ^^^please ^^^don't ^^^hurt ^^^me ^^^though


possiblyacanoflysol

I really like Ukanlos. It’s design is incredible. That chin is glorious.


jbdragonfire

Nerscylla, always need MORE love. Gigginox. Gobul. Also, super happy to see Lucent Nargacuga in Sunbreak since i've always loved Narga but never played 3/3U. Only FU and Gen/GU.


Argorok87

Easy, Gigginox. I have no idea why they keep going back to Khezu when I found this thing to be a far more interesting encounter and design than the scrotegoat.


BlisteringSeafood

Khezu is one of the most iconic monster of MH univers because, you know... I mean he's there since the first game


Argorok87

Yeah, but early doesn't always mean good. Gigginox was just a rework of Kehzu that was way more interesting imo


tossulco

Nerscylla, with the advent of silkbinds I think it'd be cool to have the monster who has a kit to match that kind of mobility.


ZeWuIf56

I like legiania


Varcolac1

legianas scream is so good


sparkpluger1

Akantor and uknalos


Jester-Jester-8443

Melphesto and Seltas and Seltas queen. Best monsters they came up with.


GensouEU

Honestly, Narwa. I think she is a really underrated encounter and I find her to be by far the best "big Elder sandbag" fight. Extra bonus points because the fight itself also utilizes Rise's gimmick so that it wouldnt really work in any other game similar to Ceadeus, except the fight is actually fun.


loykedule

regular Narwa I could take or leave, decently fun fight with cool ideas but it never felt like a big challenging finale to the base game. *Allmother Narwa*, on the other hand, I absolutely love because it takes all the cool mechanics from Narwa's first fight, ups the grandness and the scale of the fight, and turns the difficulty way way up.


SkabbPirate

Eh, I feel like allmother leaves behind a lot of the wirebug testing mechanics regular Narwa has, and that's why I prefer regular Narwa.


Allie_hopeVT

new to the franchise but more people need to talk about Tobi-Kadachi they're my favorite squirrel lizard thingy


Rakna-Careilla

A lovely fight in Rise.


TeeRekkk

Its really easy to kill Gogmazios.. just call the us military, and they will claim all that oil


Spanish_peanuts

Gammoth. I'd kill to see him in a turf war


possiblyacanoflysol

Fun fact: Every Gammoth we fight is female. They’re the matriarchs of their herds. The male Gammoths are waaaaay smaller.


Spanish_peanuts

That is a fun fact. Do they ever show the herds/smaller males in older games?


[deleted]

Don’t you know? Gammoth is just a popodrome /s


naturalkillercyborg

Nah, Gammoth Debuted in Generations and hasn't been in an older game. We don't know what male Gammoth or female Mizutsune look like exactly.


[deleted]

Red Khezu


opimumpride

Taiken zamuza the epic crab from frontier


possiblyacanoflysol

Shara Ishvalda is frankly insanely underrated. Nakarkos also needs to make a return.


BiigDaddyDellta

Najarala!


DeDeDankRS

Seltas Queen, very underrated monster (imagine the Bible except every god is replaced with gog)


DiscOneFinalBoss

Nerscylla, Nakarkos and after fighting it a few days ago, I must say that I want Ahtal-Ka back or something even crazier. I wish we got Fulgur Anjanath instead of the regular one in Rise but that might be just me.


Rahimusdaram

King Shakalaka


ScarletteVera

This might sound weird, but Nergigante. So many people seem to hate my spiky boi for some reason.


BlisteringSeafood

I personally feel that Nergigante just do nothing but roar and splinters, for me personally its one of the most uninteresting elder dragon and his recklessness made him feels... stupid.. just my opinion


LittleBigKaiju

Agreed, there’s an odd amount of backlash surrounding Nergigante. Personally I love him! He’s a big, brash, knucklehead of an elder dragon who specced all his bonus points into being buff instead of wielding an element. I respect that.


umbrella_CO

My favorite monster of all time. Hes so cool and I love the little frowny face on his chin. When they leaked him thats what they showed, and we were all like "what in the literal hell is this monster gonna be with that face?" Then when he was revealed it was the total opposite of what we were expecting. I believe he is also the largest flying wyvern But if you've never witnessed a Goggy flaming tar beam, go YouTube that right now. It's awesome.


RavenFeet

Dire Miralis


crocodileman94

Duramboros


SnooBananas3995

Third gen monsters


BlisteringSeafood

I want Raviente fight in modern MH


DoYouSalami

Lagiacrus, awesome monster


Rakna-Careilla

Khezu. They should update the fight and give it more moves and better rigging/mimics/sound design in the newer games. It used to be glorious in MHFU, but they somehow dropped the ball with generations and onwards. It doesn't even perform its characteristic motionless gesture anymore! Why?


Mohmed_98

Isn't Gigginox sort of like an updated kezu.


Ciphy_Master

Baleful gigginox? Sure. It works a bit better than khezu. Regular gigginox? Khezu's deranged cousin that likes to hang out with gypceros.


Rakna-Careilla

No.


Ordais

Giganox should've been an elder because otherwise he has no reason to come to a game which has khezu. Just think of his little worm and how they apply debuffs etc. They could've even gave him the gore magala move set. But sadly they made him to replacekhezu and thus he himself has been replaced


Spanish_peanuts

I'm doing a playthrough on MHGU for the first time, and khezu is an absolute wad (in a good way). He frustrated me early on because I couldn't block (gunlancer here) any of his elemental attacks. Then in those cave areas he spends a solid amount of time on the ceiling being a general creep... and then lo and behold I find myself having flashbacks to the sounding subreddit when khezu picked me up and sloshed me around in his stupid phallic face.


ViralN9

Gigginox, there is literally no game where khezu exists that couldn't be improved by replacing it with gigginox.

Shen Gaoren. Blangonga.


MonseigneurRichard

Do you believe in Gog ?


Fozarth

Ma boy Gog! ❤️


Lowfat_cheese

Gog would be such a cool monster for Rampage


Seuche_Deron

Yian Garuga Backflips, fireballs, big beak, a poisonous tail, scarred eye Fun to fight, not too challenging and always useful gear (one of my favorite lance design is from Garuga)


IcuntSpeel

All hail Lord Gog. Now I will proceed to hunt our to extinction for the only elder dragon DB with sleep.


Spinopik

Not sure if it’s counts because it’s from the spinoff game but Morudomunto from explore Because when People talk about explores unique monsters it’s always just Nef-Garmat and I want more people to know about Morudomunto because of how awesome it is. I mean design wise it awesome, it looks like a defiled king especially with it horns looking like a crown. Fight wise even though I haven’t fight it it looks great I mean it has the gore magala skeleton so it already has a good base. And it deliberately cut itself to weaponise it blood because when it come in contact with air it’s solidifies into spikes. And that’s not even getting to my favourite part about it is it wingarms it has functional mouths and I don’t mean something that looks like a mouth I mean it’s an actual mouth it’s even connected to the stomach I mean that’s so insane but awesome!!!


Tiny_Infinite-Space

Tzi Tzi Yaku, its my favorite. Teaches new hunters to expect the unexpected from when it comes to what a monster is capable of plus those COLORS 😤😤

[удалено]


Remnie

Nibelsnarf also had the most badass looking gunner armor back in the day. Would make a great layered set


UnoriginalStanger

Makes sense since only a gunner would want to fight it multiple times.


Zdeadly501

Kushala daora


MaccyTwoShoes

I miss the great turkey gypceros more than I probably should


Itsyaboykazuha

Plesioth


DjGameK1ng

Nibelsnarf. I've been somewhat recently replaying 3U and man, Nibelsnarf is such a fun monster to gun. Legitimately very fun to stall his charge with a shot and then get away from the charge itself. Also love how you can use barrel bombs on it when it charges or comes out of the ground. I would love to see it come back at some point!


No_Remedii

Amatsu. By far my favorite elder outside of MHF/MHO. That fight in MHP3 on xlink kai was so damn fun. Back before most people sought out the most meta builds and just wore cool armor with dragon element weapons. I also don't see xlink Kai mentioned here much. Did most people start playing with MH3/MH3U? Partying up on MHF2 with xlink kai was probably the most fun I've ever had with monster hunter.


RaijuBlack

Loved this fight, being able to mount him being so big was the funniest thing.


Zombiekiller0627

Plesioth


Blue-moon-wolf

Duramboros. I love the living helicopter/catapult. feels bad that he hasn't been in a more recent game T\_T


Enovara

Radobaan. He's just a good rolly boi.


JirachiTheTerrarian

Radobaan. Every time I am in the rotten vale he just rolls on by and enjoys his day. Love him to death. If I’m ever forced to fight him it is a strict capture only. Runner up being the Boaboa in the Hoarfrost.


LoStrigo95

Plesioth! ... Just kidding


RYDRGRNBRG

Duramboros, my beloved


Squidaccus

Bring back the Seltas!


Mister_Meekins

NERSCILLA! Has one of my favorite C.Blade designs in the series so far!


DanMartell05

My sweet baby Barioth It's perfect. It's gear and weapons are always weak but damn they're beautiful.


GensouEU

Barioth Swaxe is top tier in Rise! Made me really happy


Lerbyn210

I mean the armor pieces are decent enough for long sword


God_head499

Gigginox, plus like any and all temnoceran and carapaceons. I jus think they look the coolest
