Return of a Fan Favorite in May
A message from the roadmap is currently causing great excitement in the community. Which fan-favorite monster will await us in May? Players have many different beasts in mind. However, some stand out more and are mentioned more often. We have compiled a selection of these monsters for you.
Fatalis
The most frequently mentioned opponent is Fatalis. The Elder Dragon or Black Dragon could already be defeated in Monster Hunter 1 online. However, he is probably best known from Monster Hunter 4.
Gore Magala
The Gore Magala made its debut in Monster Hunter 4. It is said to be related to the Shagaru Magala, which is why fans often wish for both to return together.
Alatreon
The Elder Dragon Alatreon is known from Monster Hunter 3. It can control four elements: Dragon, Fire, Thunder, and Ice.
Lagiacrus
The Lagiacrus is also deeply loved and simultaneously hated by the community. The water monster was introduced with Monster Hunter 3. However, its appearance in Monster Hunter World is very unlikely due to the lack of water battles.
Zamtrios
One of the underdogs of monster wishes is Zamtrios. The mix of shark and frog first appeared in Monster Hunter 4. Its design is especially popular.
