With this in mind, some of these are already small monsters that can appear much smaller to a player that is attacking them. It should be noted that there are monsters that are considered small monsters in the game, but this article focuses on the large monsters players face and which ones are smaller from this category. Therefore, these are the smallest monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds, ranked.

8 Ajarakan

A Furious Little Monkey

Smallest: 1,047.92cm
Largest: 1,432.16cm

While Ajarakan may not be the smallest monster a player encounters in Monster Hunter Wilds, there are plenty of monsters across all the biomes that are much larger than it. With the Ajarakan being one of the smallest monsters that is native to the Oilwell Basin.

The smallest Ajarakan that can be encountered in Monster Hunter Wilds is as small as 1,047.92cm, which is roughly around 34 feet. This smaller nature only adds to the difficulty of hitting the burning ape as it lunges toward the player any chance it gets.

7 Gypceros

The Small And Timid Wyvern

Smallest: 811cm
Largest: 1348.2cm

When classed as a timid monster, a player would expect the Gypceros to be a lot smaller than they are. All things considered, the Gypceros is still one of the smallest monster s in Monster Hunter Wilds, which takes advantage of its smaller size to get the upper hand in combat even if it is considered one of the shyer monsters.

When compared to the Ajarakan, the Gypceros are significantly smaller, with the smallest size of this strange poison bird having the smallest size of 811cm, which the player may be lucky to find when hunting this monster.

6 Blangonga

Even When Small, It's Twice The Size Of A Blango

Smallest: 791.12cm
Largest: 1221.2cm

Ajarakan isn't the only monkey-themed Fanged Beast in Monster Hunter Wilds, with its smaller, cold-oriented rival being the Blangonga. As the alpha of its species, players can find monsters even smaller than the Blangonga, as this monster is twice the size of a Blango.

While a Blangonga will never be as small as a Blango, some alpha monsters of this species can only be around 791.12cm. Like many other monsters, having a small size means the monster is much more agile, with the Blangonga easily throwing a player around if they aren't prepared.

5 Nerscylla

It Has One Of The Largest Ranges Of Size

Smallest: 651.63cm
Largest: 1126.57cm

Unsurprisingly, the Temnoceran monster types, which have been designed to look like arachnids, are some of the smallest in Monster Hunter, with Nersyclla proving this to be the case, with the spiders being the smallest monsters to be found natively in the Iceshard Cliffs.

With the smallest spider being found around 21 feet, even at this smaller size, the Nersyclla can still be quite a deadly foe. Some players may have the unfortunate meeting with the largest of the Nersyclla, which can be as big as 36 feet. Although, thankfully, many players are likely to find the average to be a lot smaller.

4 Lala Barina

A Spinning Little Spider

Smallest: 621.88cm
Largest: 866.44cm

Those that don't enjoy Arachnids will be sad to see that Nerscylla isn't the only tiny spider monster that players will face in Monster Hunter Wilds, as the sixth generation of Monster Hunter Wilds introduced another Temnoceran monster known as the Lala Barina.

The range of size for this spider isn't very wide, with even the largest variation to be found only being 866.44cm, though the smallest size is also a feeble 621.88cm. As expected, the small size of the Lala Barina only makes her dainty attacks, as she spins and lunges, so much more terrifying to deal with.

3 Congalala

A Small Monster That Makes A Large Mess

Smallest: 491.40cm
Largest: 1670.76cm

Although the Lala Barina may have the smaller largest size when compared to the Congalala, the Pink Fur Beast is still considered the smaller monster of the two due to how much smaller the Congalala can be found as.

Since the Congalala can be found as a smaller monster known as the Conga, it's a surprise to see how much smaller the Congalala can be, though even when only 491.40cm, the Congas are still much smaller, and the mess this alpha can make, especially the stink clouds are still huge.

2 Yian Kut-Ku

It's Small Stature Improves Its Agility

Smallest: 449.3cm
Largest: 1233.23cm

Yian Kut-Ku is one of the oldest monsters in the Monster Hunter franchise, and also continues to be one of the smallest to appear in Monster Hunter Wilds. The Yian Kut-Ku size is acknowledged as this strange bird uses its lightweight and short statute to better its chances in combat as it can easily dash around, throwing fire everywhere.

A lot of its behavior can be described as being skittish, which is only made worse by encountering its smallest size of 449.3cm, where players may struggle to hit this already difficult target that just won't give them a break.

1 Chatacabra

The Smallest Froggy In Wilds

Smallest: 443.48cm
Largest: 612.90cm

Out of all the monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds, by far the smallest is the newly introduced tutorial monster. The Chatacabra is an Amphibian monster that looks identical to a huge bullfrog. Like any good starting monster to help the player understand the game, the Chatacabra isn't very large, with even the largest size of it only being 612.90cm.

The range of size of this monster is even smaller than the Lala Barina, with the smallest Chatacabra being only 443.48cm. Unlike other monsters in the game, although it is small, the Chatacabra is also quite slow, relying on its heavy attacks and tongue to catch players off-guard.
