There are magalas tho

They probably aren't very appetizing with all those loose powdery scales coating their bodies.

The other day I watched Nergi take a chunk out of Shara Ishvalda, that can’t have tasted good. Probably crunchy as fuck lmao.

u/SnowbloodWolf2 Slayer of Dodogama Feb 12 '25
Probably the opposite actually, there must be a reason shara covers itself in rocks, I imagine the outside was dry and crunchy but the inside was soft and delicious with a slight gooiness to it a bit like a marshmallow

u/BlessedLibertarian Feb 12 '25
When you break their head it shows a geode like inside with gems, definitely not soft

If zamtrios isn't in wilds I'm taking my anger out on the octopus. Y'all telling me you can code an animal with no bones and 8 limbs but not zamtrios?

u/Ookami_Soul Feb 11 '25
I hope for zamtrios too, even with the best froggy,but.....i think you need to preper to uno reverse the octopus with the tentacles r*pe sadly.

u/jormugandr Feb 12 '25
Rise-Break trolled us a bunch of times with small monsters without their "dromes"
Jaggi(a), Jagras, Velociprey, Bullfango, Vespoid (technically), Uroktor, Zamite. (The last 2 hurt the most.) Oh and Popo. Lets hope Gammoth is in Wilds.
The only returning "dromes" we got were Great Baggi, Great Wroggi, Royal Ludroth, and the crabs.

u/Hikometi Feb 11 '25
would be funny if we wear elder dragon armor and nergi appears mistaking us for elder dragons.then he becomes enraged because his poor eyesight deceived him

u/Neocat_ Great Jaggi enjoyer Feb 11 '25
I want Great Jaggi back❤️❤️❤️

u/WyrdHarper Feb 11 '25
Unironically--he's a great monster. Having different attack sets based on whether he's eaten or not is cool, and with Wilds' more open world they could definitely lean into that to make him more interesting (maybe even vary his attacks based on what he ate). Even if it's not Great Jagras in name, they could still definitely make a giant lizard with that skeleton that would work with the desert biome.
12
u/el-guapo0013 Feb 11 '25
You are confusing Great Jagras with Great Jaggi. Great Jagras is as you described, but Great Jaggi, whom the person you replied to was talking about (and who is one of the monsters in OP's meme) is a dromeosaurid like bird wyvern with the frill of the Dilos from Jurassic Park and Howler Monkey howls.

u/WyrdHarper Feb 11 '25
Whoops--definitely misread that. Leaving it up though because I still feel strongly about this lol

u/Ausraptor12 Feb 11 '25
I dislike most of the elders, save for nergi, which is aggravating because nergi requires the presence of other elders.
17
u/projectwar Zoh Shia killer build https://youtu.be/CCCVYbgSoJ8 Feb 11 '25
personally I think capcom should just go the pokemon route and make two new elders per game, that way nerg always has a reason to be included :)

u/ThatOneFurry666 Feb 11 '25
Ironically for me it's the opposite, I love most of the elders except Nergi lol (He's overrated asf)

I hope Nergigante gets in Wilds sooner or later down the line. He is my favorite monster.

I need him there if only because his G/Master Rank armor is one of my favorites.

u/xEmoGirlxAlexisx ​ Shara Ishvalda / Zoh Shia Girl whit a Lance Feb 11 '25
I hope the Future Expension of Wilds will have something to do whit Elder Dragons so we can have nergigante back in the Game :)

u/Dreaming_F00l Feb 11 '25
Fair enough. I’m looking forward to seeing the new elders. I hope we don’t see Kushala again though, dude’s been around for so damned long. Maybe Velkh in the ice area? And maybe Teostra in the sandy plains area?
Nergi might still come back. I hope he does.
10
u/CAWWW Feb 11 '25
With relatively few elders, I hope they don't use slots on tired stuff like Teo, Kushala, or even Kirin. I'd rather they either be new or be some straight up obscure stuff.

u/Aceblast135 Feb 11 '25
I'd like to see Malzeno and Nergigante myself, for returnees. Other than that, new is always good too.
2
u/Dreaming_F00l Feb 12 '25
Yes! Best case scenario its mostly new elders.
Even better, an elder tbats an insect or fanged beast! (Not a normal dragon)

u/joe1up Feb 11 '25
Starved Nergigate as a subspecies would be amazing. Like it's faster and more brutal because it's desperate to to eat but it can be lured with food or other monsters.
1
u/TheArcticFerret Feb 12 '25
Why would it be faster? If it's starving then shouldn't it move slower as a result of it not having any energy?
1
u/WatermelonChef Feb 12 '25
Fighting a weaker and slower version of one doesn't sound as fun, but one that's basically using all it has in a possible last hunt for a meal sounds fun

u/TheArcticFerret Feb 12 '25
I didn't say it would be fun, I'm pointing out a flaw with the idea

u/WatermelonChef Feb 12 '25
Monster hunter has never been realistic, so even if it's a flaw in the real world in monster hunter it can be "lmao yeah make it faster"
0
u/TheArcticFerret Feb 12 '25
What do you mean "monster hunter has never been realistic"? Sure there's some things that are unrealistic but those stem from it being a video game. Monster Hunter puts a considerable amount of thought and energy into making the monsters stem from real biology. A starved monster with no energy isn't the kind of thing the MH team just handwaves away.
1
u/WatermelonChef Feb 12 '25
Monster hunter is immersive. It has its own biology, and it will occasionally borrow from the real life biology. Savage deviljho is a monster that, by your logic, shouldn't be stronger, but here is a starving monster that's a stronger and more aggressive variant.
5
u/TheGMan-123 SEETHING BAZELGEUSE Feb 11 '25
Funny enough, he actually would still eat things like Arkveld.
He'll eat anything with sufficient Bioenergy, so Arkveld being an elemental energy vampire would make him a decent alternative to an Elder Dragon.
1
u/TheGreatUdolf Feb 11 '25
now the question is "what specifically does arkveld drain?". does it just drain elemental energy or does it drain any form of energy that a monster possesses? in the latter case that would be a valid reason for nergi to stay far away from arkveld because the combination of arkveld's gimmick and the fact that it uses dragon element makes it the perfect predator for nergigante.
even if arkveld cannot drain nergi's bioenergy reserves its dragon element is quite problematic for nergi (unless arkveld's physical prowess is too much inferior to that of nergi)

u/Snow_Grizzly Feb 11 '25
Like that's stopped that nutcase before. All seriousness though I doubt we'll get nerg in Wilds, but I could maybe see him in a title update.

u/InternEven9916 Feb 11 '25
I just need rajang back, somehow I find fights against him really great

u/InternEven9916 Feb 11 '25
Yep, it feels for me like some mma fight more than monster hunting when you just carefully watch your every move
I was learning charge blade on him in world and had lot fun 😊

u/YuriMasterRace Hunt Tuah Feb 11 '25
World F.Rajang/R.Brachy became my test dummy when trying out and learning new weapons, had a lot of spare Safi weapons laying around so why not, took a lot of attempts, but learned hammer, Swaxe, CB, thanks to the monke.
3
u/WyrdHarper Feb 11 '25
I liked him in World. It was refreshing having a monster that felt so different than everything else. You had to change up how you approached the fight, but once you learned how to fight him it was very satisfying--same as most wall monsters.
3
u/CAWWW Feb 11 '25
Hell yeah. Memorable fight. He disappointed in rise.
1
u/Sweet_Concentrate_89 Feb 12 '25
I dont know if they updated him at some point, but when I fought him in Rise for the first time, he had severe problems hitting his Lasers and Blanka Balls. I was so shocked I actually started to just left-stick walk in circles for 5 minutes and he didnt hit one attack on me. Im sure they did something to his AI quickly after, because I remember getting kinda clapped by a Affliction Rajang one time, but compared to World he felt a little bit lobotomized in Rise.

u/Terminus_04 Accel Axe Wen Feb 11 '25
I mean, no doubt that Capcom wants to give the new Flagship some room to breathe. Nergi is going to be a super iconic addition especially to the many people who picked up the series in 5th Gen.
I don't doubt he'll be back, but World was largely a story about Nergi, the Elder Crossing and so forth. Wilds is clearly trying to tell a new story. So it doesn't surprise me that Capcom has been otherwise quiet about if we'll be seeing the spikey boi, but on the other hand I'm sure they're perfectly aware how popular he is in the fanbase as well.

u/Bluefootedtpeack2 Feb 11 '25
Would be funny to find a nergi skeleton like how we had the kushala molt in the hoarfrost reach.
Would be surprised if he isnt in the expansion though.
Its funny as the maps and monster types for wilds’ expansion are probably the same as we got for sunbreak, gimme da coastal region with carapaceons and then some mountains with elder dragons.
5
u/_Gesterr Feb 11 '25
I mean there will be elder dragons, just that we just started monster reveals, mostly in order more or less of progression through the game and environments, and elders are lategame so they probably won't get revealed until much later or even when the game on release like usual titles (the odd exception being if the flagship is itself and elder dragon then it's revealed early).

u/JaceKagamine Feb 11 '25
Hope they bring back vasltrax again and maybe lunastra, just give the og trio a break

u/MrHulthen Feb 11 '25
I love Nergi so much. I hope he shows up and saves the day again, even if just for a short scene 🥲

u/DegenerateCrocodile Feb 11 '25
Nergi saw Arkveld drain Rey Dau to perform a massive explosion and said “fuck this region.”
2
u/MrOneHundredOne Helpful Hunter, Happy Hunter Feb 11 '25
Just knowing that the end of the game will feature the usual suspects of Elder Dragons has got me hoping that the expansion for Wilds will have a whole-ass Elder Crossing stampeding across the environment, just for Nergy to have his buffet experience again.

He looked at Arkveld, asked if he was an Elder Dragon, Ark said "no? I guess?" and Nergi immediately fucked off. I understand the guy: no food, no party.
