New Monsters in Monster Hunter Rise

A host of new monsters make their debut in Monster Hunter Rise (MH Rise) which are detailed below:

Unnamed Monster

A new unnamed monster was shown in the game’s official trailer.

Apex Arzuros

Apex Arzuros is a new variant of the Fanged Beast Arzuros that appears during the Rampage. It has a noticeably darker coat and glowing red eyes. Apex Arzuros is assumed to be vastly more powerful than regular Arzuros and causes the Kamura Village leader Fugen to command all hunters to stop it from entering the settlement at all costs.

Almudron

Almudron is a mountain dwelling Leviathan that has recently started attacking settlements because of the Rampage. In battle, Almudon can use mud for both attack and defense by imbuing its attacks with it or coating it around its body. The monster’s tail also secrets a golden fluid that can change stable land into quagmires that can suck in its prey.

Magnamalo

Magnamalo is a fearsome Fanged Wyvern covered by an extremely tough purplish hide. It is told in legend that its armor-like body is the physical manifestation of the wrath of fallen warriors. Magnamalo is known to prey on monsters. Consuming them causes purple gas called “Hellfire” to rise from its body, allowing the Magnamalo to summon hellish purple flames to attack enemies. It can imbue many of its moves with Hellfire, making them even more powerful.

Aknosom

The crane-like Aknosom is a territorial Bird Wyvern that sports an elaborate collar around its head. It will scare of intruders by spreading its wings and reveal an eye-shaped crest on its head. If Aknosom is still challenged, it can transform its collar into a shield or bludgeoning weapon to defend and attack enemies.

Tetranodon

Tetranodon, a massive Amphibian, is known for its insatiable appetite and can swallow anything in its path whole. This causes its belly to increase in size significantly, allowing it to use heavier yet much more sluggish attacks to crush foes in battle. Tetrandon also moves much slower in this state as a consequence of having a full stomach.
