We see two more Fire element Monsties hatching, being a Fire Chatacabra and Fire Velocidrome, sporting a deep red hide with orange

Finally, we also learn that Arkveld will be in Monster Hunter Stories 3 and will be an available Monstie, with the team being proud of how its Kinship Attack turned out

Raising a monster’s ecosystem rank in Monster Hunter Stories 3 will sometimes have you be able to hatch Dual-Element Monsters, which are born with the element of the area they originated from, like this Tobi-Kadachi having Fire element from originating from Sunpetal Plains in Azuria

Some other screenshots of each section of Azuria, showing some monsters found in each zone including some “?” icons for undiscovered monsters
December 11, 2025 at 4:14 PM
By finding endangered monster eggs, hatching them, and then releasing the monster back into the wild, you can make that species encounterable in the wild and in monster dens
December 11, 2025 at 4:14 PM
More shots of the encounter with an Invasive Yian Garuga, who will likely be the first Invasive monster encountered as it is guarding the Rathian egg that’s hatched in the cutscene
December 11, 2025 at 4:14 PM
From the rest of the showcase, we see some more monster eggs

-A green and brown Fanged Beast egg
-A dark blue/light blue Fanged Wyvern egg
-A red and black Fanged Wyvern egg
-And a brand new white and blue hexagonal egg of an unknown family (speculated to be a Carapceon egg)
December 11, 2025 at 4:14 PM
To cap off the trailer, we see two new characters, a Palico and their Hunter, who had an encounter with a Somnacanth
December 11, 2025 at 4:14 PM
We also see a rapid fire of other confirmed monsters:

-Nargacuga (in the flesh, we saw Longsword previously)
-Lagiacrus (this might be Ivory or it could be an Ice element one)
-Mizutsune
-Tigrex (this isn’t Molten, rather it appears to be a Dragon element one)
-Zinogre (pictured in next post)
December 11, 2025 at 4:14 PM
One such special monster is the return of Dreadqueen Rathian, sporting an updated model based on the 5th/6th Generation Rathian.

This also confirms we will likely be seeing other Deviants making a return, like Bloodbath Diablos, Hellblade Glavenus, or Silverwind Nargacuga
December 11, 2025 at 4:14 PM
The main focus of the trailer is the Habitat Restoration system, where by releasing monsters back into the wild after hatching them, they can help the species recover in certain areas and doing it enough can allow you to find special monsters or ones with more powerful skills
December 11, 2025 at 4:14 PM
We get to see one of Gaul’s special moves where his Palico Murray goes into action with a cool double team attack

We also see Magnamalo’s Kinship Attack based on its divebomb move in Rise
December 11, 2025 at 4:14 PM
Invasive monsters are incredibly powerful, with the goal being to get them to retreat.

So far three have been identified to be found in Azuria:
Yian Garuga
Arzuros
Plesioth
December 11, 2025 at 4:14 PM
We get an opening shot probably early into the game of the party surrounding a Rathian egg

Which immediately transitions into a big focal point of the invasive monsters, monsters not normally native to the environment that are not helping with the ecosystem being stressed by the Encroachment

I’m glad it went full circle

What’s weird is that there is official 2D art of the new Megas cause there was one of Mega Dragonite that was released, so I’m not sure why marketing is using 3D renders for them instead of that
December 3, 2025 at 9:09 PM
Have you seen this trainer and her Aggron? Now you have

Still working on the full team art, but here’s some screenshots of one the highlights of my team, my Shiny Aggron Esmeralda

She’s one of two Shinies I used on the all Mega team, the first time I’ve used a Shiny on my team in any playthrough

So we got some news on Monster Hunter Now

Quematrice, Goss Harag, and Astalos are going to be added in season 8, along with some new armor skills

Also Riftcharged monsters are going to be a thing, with Rathian being the first. Insect Glaive is also being added in March 2026 in season 9

I think the thing that supports that idea is Thea also hatching a Paolumu after you defeat the Feral Chatacabra and her Tobi-Kadachi is a Speed monster while Pao is Technical, so she could later on in a Side Story get a Power monster to complete the triangle
October 31, 2025 at 5:49 PM
Something I didn’t notice in the introduction trailer for Monster Hunter Stories 3 was that Barroth were spotted in the same armor the other Vermeil monsters are wearing
October 31, 2025 at 5:03 PM
We also have details on preorder stuff, some of which may hint to monsters appearing in Stories 3 as we’ve yet to have a monster-themed hairstyle without the monster it’s based on. From hairstyles, the following monsters are implied to be in:

Espinas
Lunagaron
Malzeno
Mizutsune
Goss Harag
Arkveld
October 31, 2025 at 1:59 PM
Finally from the main trailer stuff, we have the return of a monster that hasn’t been seen since Monster Hunter Freedom Unite and it’s back in a big way. Say hello to the Feral Yama Tsukami, whose presence threatens the settlement of Sheparden
October 31, 2025 at 1:59 PM
Onto gameplay, they revealed that Side Stories will be a thing. These are special quests that center around the protagonist and their party members that offer great rewards that help with progress, powering up the skills of your party members, or even unlocking new weapons and Monsties
October 31, 2025 at 1:59 PM
Kol is the leader of Sheparden, a village that reveres Canynes. The village was founded after their original home was destroyed by the Encroachment, now settling near the Meridian
October 31, 2025 at 1:59 PM
Vandura is a massive, elderly Wyverian who has guarded the gate of the Meridian alongside his Magnamalo, Wardenfang, since the founding of the covenant after the civil war 200 years ago. He is reminded of Amara ten years ago after meeting the protagonist and Ratha
October 31, 2025 at 1:59 PM
Fiero is the retainer for the queen of Vermeil and often one carrying out espionage missions to expand the country’s influence. He arrives in Azuria with Eleanor to propose the idea of crossing the Meridian, only to have the idea rejected by King Arken
