Captured Monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds Vanish Mysteriously

While most players of Monster Hunter associate the game with the thrill of hunting monsters, the art of capturing them plays a crucial role as well. In Monster Hunter Wilds, players have stumbled upon a delightful and amusing interaction that occurs post-capture, adding a humorous twist to the gameplay.

As highlighted by Reddit user RDGtheGreat on the r/MonsterHunter subreddit, lingering near a captured monster can lead to witnessing some behind-the-scenes magic. Specifically, after capturing a Nu Udra and waiting patiently, players can watch as the giant cephalopod simply gets up and wanders off. This quirky scene has sparked playful comparisons to a film set wrapping up, injecting a light-hearted vibe into the game.

Fun fact: captured monsters just get up and leave within a minute of napping

In terms of in-game lore, the absence of giant cages suggests that Monster Hunter Wilds adopts a catch-and-release approach, which aligns well with the ethos of Alma and the research team throughout the story. This method not only makes sense within the game's universe but also adds an element of realism and respect for wildlife.

This charming detail reflects the thoughtful design by Capcom’s developers, who chose to create a unique animation rather than a simple fade-out. It’s particularly amusing to see the captured monster, now missing several limbs and appendages, scuttle away into the distance. This addition not only entertains but also provides a glimpse into the research methods employed by Alma and her crew.
