We have created a list of all monsters from Monster Hunter World and summarized what is known about them and what loot can be obtained from them. The list is current as of December 2019.
The most important thing in Monster Hunter World is hunting the various monsters, all of which have special characteristics.
In the monster list, you will see:
- where you can find the creatures
- what loot they drop
- which elements and statuses they are weak against
- a brief description of the monsters, where you will also find some tips on fighting them.
What do NR, HR, MR, and the Plus stand for? In the list, you will see these abbreviations next to the loot. NR stands for Low Rank, HR for High Rank, and Plus also applies to High Rank. You can undertake quests at Low or High Rank, which changes the loot of the monsters.
Since the Iceborne expansion, there is a third rank. The Master Rank is abbreviated as MR. Additionally, you can now also find the monster materials from the endgame area Guiding Lands.
Update January 6, 2021: This list was published in 2017 and updated in 2018 to include all DLC monsters. In January 2021, the last items of the Master Rank were added.
Where can you find monsters from the Iceborne expansion? If you are currently playing the new addon and looking for new monsters, check out our list of new monsters from Iceborne.

Description: The Behemoth originates from Final Fantasy and has two mechanics that are atypical for Monster Hunter: spells and aggro. The spells are particularly dangerous for you and every hunter should be well aware of them. Once the monster has built up aggro, it focuses all its attention on just one player.
Combat Tip: The Behemoth has a total of four phases and five spells. Each new phase is heralded by the meteor. Here, the Behemoth casts a meteor on random players. When the Behemoth casts “Summon Comet,” it lays large rocks on the battlefield. These must be used to survive its strongest attack “Ecliptic Meteor.” Hunters can hide behind the rocks here.

The Deviljho has a similar attack pattern to the Anjanath, but is considerably faster in movement and executes its attacks for longer periods.
Battle Tip: The Deviljho is weak to Thunder and Dragon, these elements should be on your weapons. In rage mode, a mist flows from the mouth of the Deviljho, which causes Dragonblight to you. This can be countered with Nullberries or at least 20 Dragon Resistance on your armor. For the corrosive saliva, Diamond Seeds help. Under the belly of the Deviljho is the safest position.

Anesthesia: The Diablos preferably lives in the desert and burrows into the ground there. The horned beast ambushes hunters from underground and attacks from hiding as soon as it hears them. The Diablos has little pause between its attacks, making it a challenging opponent. It either strikes with its tail or tries to knock down its foes with its massive horns.
Combat Tip: The Diablos uses a charge attack where it burrows and quickly rushes at hunters from underground – as a hunter, it is important to keep moving. The Diablos also has a powerful roar that can temporarily stun hunters. The “Earplugs” skill, found on some armor, can help here. The horns can be broken and the tail can be severed.

The Kirin is associated with the Thunder element, and all its attacks involve electricity. The Kirin summons lightning that strikes down on hunters. The Kirin can also charge itself with electricity to enhance its attacks.
Combat Tip: Due to the Thunder element, hunters can quickly become paralyzed and should bring enough Nullberries into the battle against the Kirin. The berries reduce the paralysis effect. A high resistance to the Kirin’s strong Thunder attacks is also essential.

Description: Lunastra is the female counterpart to Teostra and can, just like him, shroud herself in a flame aura. She uses her powerful teeth like flint to ignite a blue powder. The resulting aura continuously deals damage.
Combat Tip: Ice drinks and fire resistance are a must against Lunastra. Her fire attacks deal area damage with high range. Breaking Lunastra’s head significantly weakens her fire attacks. Flash Bombs are ineffective against Lunastra, as they do not fall from the sky through her. However, bombs neutralize the flammable powder and can negate the effect.
