10 monsters we'd like to see in Monster Hunter World

From A to Zinogre.

Fatalis

Hunters have been taking on this ancient dragon ever since the PS2 original graced our screens back in 2004. Fatalis and its subsequent variants are extremely powerful and can wipe out entire hunting parties with ease. This deadly Elder Dragon has always been one of the series' big endgame bosses, and overcoming him is a test of a true hunter. Its primary means of defence is its ability to breathe streams of fire and send flaming projectiles that cascade from the sky and explode on impact. It can also release a cloud of flammable dust, which it sets alight to cause lethal explosions. Fatalis doesn't just rely on its fiery nature to turn its foes to ash - it also delivers bone-crushing blows with its whip-like tail and giant jaws. All variations of Fatalis (Black, Crimson, White) are so dangerous that they make up three of the seven monsters categorized under the Dangerous First Class list. It is said by the Hunter's Guild that these godly creatures are so powerful that they can bring the world to destruction if they wanted to. Due to Fatalis' iconic nature and popularity among fans, we expect to see this dragon's toothy grin once again.

Zinogre

Zinogre has been a fan favorite since his appearance in Monster Hunter Portable 3rd and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. The electric hound of the forest delivers lightning-fast attacks and can quickly sweep hunters off their feet if they're not paying attention. Despite its size, Zinogre is very agile and is able to perform impressive aerial and land-based manoeuvres. Because of this, Zinogre is a great monster to introduce newcomers to Monster Hunter's faster beasts. It would also be cool to see some interaction between the newly introduced Scouting Flies and the Thunderbugs Zinogre summons.

Mizutsune

It's not often that you feel bad killing the various wyverns in Monster Hunter - after all, most them are threatening civilization or the ecosystem they inhabit. However, Mizutsune looks so graceful that we feel a little bad for walloping it over the head with an oversized hammer. While Mizutsune was introduced in Generations, this majestic beast looks like it was made to live in the beautiful Coral Highlands of Monster Hunter World. It is one of the few leviathans to actually have fur on its body, while its light-colored scales resemble that of a fish. The Coral Highlands consists of vast landscapes like that of the ocean floor and is surrounded by species of colourful coral, so it's all rather befitting if you ask us. Additionally, Mizutsune barrages hunters with bubble based attack, and it would be awesome to see a new take on this unique move. For example, Mizutsune could send out giant bubbles that capture the hunter and send them floating upward before popping them with lethal hit. This would also fit nicely with the wind currents that allow the hunter to traverse the Coral Highlands.

Rajang

Rajang may not be a mighty Elder Dragon, nor is he a massive monolithic creature, but the Golden Lion proves that size doesn't mean everything. Rajang is hated by many hunters due to its combination of speed, aggression, and power. When Rajang enters rage mode it becomes ultra-aggressive, hurls gigantic slabs of rock, and delivers some truly shocking attacks. Pitfall traps only work when Rajang is enraged, while shock traps incapacitate him no matter what state he's in. It would be interesting to see how World's various area-specific traps and obstacles impact Rajang, while the lack of loading screens would only serve to intensify this gruelling fight further.
