Arkveld is one of the flagship creatures in Monster Hunter Wilds and a specter that arrives once players make it far enough in the game's story. Arkveld is supposedly an extinct species of Wyvern that is incredibly aggressive and powerful—depicted as a white-feathered quadruped with massive chain-like appendages that it uses offensively.

Arkveld feeds off of elemental energy by leeching off of other monsters and using its tendril chains to drain the life from them. While Arkveld is one of the smallest of the Large Monster class, he is still a force to be reckoned with.
7 Gore Magala (1.571,65–2.101.42)
The King Shrouded In Black

Demi Elder |

Frenzy Virus |

Gore Magala may not be high on the list as one of the largest monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds, but as a Demi Elder class threat, it is nothing to underestimate. Gore Magala is a jet-black, hard-scaled Wyvern with an enormous wing span, yet it is incredibly aggressive and just as swift.
This monster is not a newcomer to Monster Hunter but it has instilled a unique amount of terror in players who have invoked its wrath. Gore Magala is especially dangerous due to its ability to inflict Frenzy on other monsters, turning them into rabid beasts.

Nu Udra is a monster that resides in the Oilwell Basin and is spoken of as a legend among the inhabitants of the world in Monster Hunter Wilds. Known as the Black Flame, Nu Udra appears to have a Lovecraftian design similar to a squid or octopus, with a slender upper torso and several tentacles that add to its size.
Nu Udra dwells in the hot climates of the tar and lava that flow beneath the basin and uses the cracks and crevices to travel. As a cephalopod, Nu Udra has an erratic attack pattern that features twirls and slams, smothering targets with its body and making it a hard target to predict.
5 Rey Dau (1.851,37–2.571.35)
The Merciless One

Flying Wyvern |

Winward Plains |
As one of the mid-sized monsters compared to others, Rey Dau is a menace to society in Monster Hunter Wilds, and it is perhaps the game's first real skill check for new and veteran players alike. As a Quadruped Wyvern with gold scales and two massive wings with barbed reinforcement, Rey Dau is the approaching storm that obliterates hunters with its mighty horns and lightning attacks.
Rey Dau inhabits the Windward Plains, making prey of any and all creatures that come into its flight path. Rey Dau is a classic dragon-type monster that is a challenging but enjoyable fight for Monster Hunter fans.
4 Zoh Shia (???–???)

Zoh Shia is a monster that players will not encounter until they reach the end of Monster Hunter Wilds' story. As a construct, Zoh Shia is a human-made monster that serves as a Guardian. As the boss monster of the game's final chapter, players will take on this white-cloaked beast that will attempt to shed its skin as it is damaged.
Zoh Shia, who resides in Wyveria, is awakened from a peaceful slumber by the Hunter and instantly becomes enraged. While Zoh Shia's stats have not been entirely revealed, based on pure visuals, it is clearly among the most enormous monsters in the game.

Residing in both the Oilwell Bain and Wyveria, Gravios is a behemoth of a monster with girth and a huge wingspan that can fire a dense blast of fire from its mouth. Gravios' shining trait is its pure immovability, with most weapons unable to leave a scratch on its tough hide.
2 Uth Duna (2.681,36–3.426,18)
A Whirlpool Of Chaos

Uth Duna is an aquatic monster that players will encounter for the first time during the "Beyond the Deluge" quest, where they will have to repel the beast. Uth Duna is a quadruped Leviathan-type monster in Monster Hunter Wilds that attacks its prey with its sheer mass and the waves it creates by slamming itself into the water where it lives.
Monster Hunter Wilds: Best Elements To Prioritize, Ranked
There are five elements available for Monster Hunter Wilds players to make use of. Here are the best ones to prioritize.
Thanks to its size and the massive fins that protrude from its head, back, and legs, Uth Duna is not a problematic monster to hit but a challenging monster to overcome. As one of the heaviest and largest monsters in the game, Uth Duna's immense mass can crush most hunters into dust if they're not prepared thoroughly.
1 Jin Dahaad (4.560,89–4.560,89)
Ancient And Massive

Locations |
Iceshard Cliffs |
The first glimpse of Jin Dahaad that players receive is a remarkable view of a dragon that moves the world out of its way and carves a path for its migration. Jin Dahaad wanders the Iceshard Cliffs and is a polarizing and deadly beast to combat.
Modeled loosely after Shenlong dragons, Jin Dahaad is a Leviathan-type monster who tramples and flash-freezes any target foolish enough to get caught in its path. Jin Dahaad is the most enormous monster to appear in Monster Hunter Wilds for the moment, as more robust, vicious, and, most of all, giant beasts are sure to join the roster
