Monster Hunter: World - 10 Fan-Favourite Monsters Capcom Must Add

9. Nargacuga

Zinogre Monster Hunter
Capcom

Sporting a mess of black fur, blood-red eyes and razor-sharp wings, this is one wyvern you don't want to encounter unprepared on a night out in the wilds. Despite its appearance suggesting that of an aggressive predator, Nargacuga prefers to stalk its prey, content to get just close enough that by the time your Hunter has realised it's to be the beast's next entrée, it'll already be too late.

Contrary to World's general rule of thumb that every monster has an abusable weak spot, be it the flanks, rump or underbelly, Nargacuga has no such chink in its armour. Whether it's the wings, tail or face you opt to tackle the winged panther from, every part of its hide is sharpened like a chef's knife able to effortlessly shred your skin like a cheese grater.

As for its tendency towards hunting under the cover of darkness, World has yet to toy with using a day/night cycle dictating the presence of certain monsters, but if it does, Nargacuga should be first on the list for inclusion.
