MH Wilds Monster Disappearance Sparks Outcry

by Aria Oct 19,2025

While most players focus on hunting monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds, capturing creatures plays an equally vital role. As recent discoveries show, sticking around after capturing a monster can lead to amusing in-game interactions.

A Reddit user named RDGtheGreat shared footage demonstrating this phenomenon on the r/MonsterHunter subreddit. After capturing a Nu Udra cephalopod, waiting reveals an unexpected animation where the monster simply gets up and walks away.

The community quickly compared this to actors wrapping up film shoots, finding humor in the scene. In-universe, this likely reflects the research team's catch-and-release methodology rather than permanent containment.

This charming detail shows Capcom's attention to animation quality beyond simple fade-outs. Though watching a limb-deprived monster scurry away appears comical, it subtly reinforces Wilds' ecological research narrative.
