Start with the break, not the health bar

Every monster is a puzzle with a weak point.

Outlanders' bestiary mixes returning favorites from the Monster Hunter series with Aesoland-specific variants. Rathalos and Diablos are back, Great Jagras is still the best tutorial, and the new flagship Ruger Aidal turns the endgame into a Radiantite plate break.

Use this database to choose the right element, target the part that changes the fight and avoid farming the wrong break. If you only know one thing about a monster, make it the weakness chart. If you know two, read its hunt plan.

The roster

All known large monsters

Sorted by base monster. Every card leads to a full page with weaknesses, break targets, materials and attack patterns.

Showing 21 monsters

Brute Wyvern High threat

Anjanath

A close-range brawler with a fire cone, a leaping bite and a short temper. Break the legs first and the fight slows down.

Brute Wyvern Medium threat

Barroth

Mud armor blunts raw attacks and hides its softer hide. Water pressure strips the coating and turns a slow charger into a manageable target.

Flying Wyvern Very High threat

Black Diablos

A faster, more aggressive Diablos with punishing burrow attacks. Ice weapons, a shield or range, and patient punish windows win the fight.

Flying Wyvern Very High threat

Diablos

A desert bruiser built around horn charges and surprise burrows. Learn the stop timing, bring Ice, and turn its own momentum into part breaks.

Fanged Wyvern Medium threat

Great Girros

A small pack leader whose paralysis makes a messy fight lethal. Fire AoE and a fast head break thin the pack and stop the setup.

Fanged Wyvern Low threat

Great Jagras

A forgiving early target with a surprising swallow-and-charge. Break the forelegs, cut the tail and use it to learn each weapon's rhythm.

Piscine Wyvern Medium threat

Jyuratodus

A wetland fighter that hides in mud and punishes straight approaches. Thunder damage and lateral movement keep the fight above water.

Bird Wyvern Medium threat

Kulu-Ya-Ku

A comedic bird wyvern with a genuinely dangerous rock. Force the drop, punish the recovery and keep the head in reach.

Elder Dragon Extreme threat

Kushala Daora

An Elder Dragon that controls space with wind pressure and aerial passes. Thunder, ranged pressure and patient punishes are the core plan.

Flying Wyvern High threat

Legiana

A graceful flier that turns the battlefield into ice. Break the wings, bring Thunder and learn which aerial pass ends in a punishable landing.

Elder Dragon Extreme threat

Nergigante

An Elder Dragon that gets deadlier when left alone. Target the white spikes, manage the dive and keep the pressure on the forelegs.

Fanged Wyvern High threat

Odogaron

A frantic, close-range hunter with punishing combos. Stay near the hips, punish after the leap and use Ice to shorten the exchange.

Flying Wyvern Medium threat

Paolumu

A fluffy flying wyvern with a disruptive wind-sac. Pop the inflated neck, bring Fire and punish the slow landing.

Subspecies · Flying Wyvern High threat

Pink Rathian

A more aggressive Rathian with a poison-heavy tail game. Sever the tail early, respect the flip and use Dragon or Thunder.

Bird Wyvern Medium threat

Pukei-Pukei

A chameleon-like bird wyvern that controls space with poison breath and a long tongue. Fire damage and a tail cut simplify the fight.

Brute Wyvern High threat

Radobaan

A rolling brute wyvern covered in harvested bone. Break the plating, punish the roll recovery and use Ice to expose the soft body.

Flying Wyvern High threat

Rathalos

The series icon returns with fire, poison claws and a relentless aerial game. Break the wings, cut the tail and learn the landing.

Flying Wyvern High threat

Rathian

A grounded counterpart to Rathalos with fire, poison and a lethal backflip. Sever the tail and learn the head-tilt tell.

Elder Dragon · Flagship Extreme threat

Ruger Aidal

Monster Hunter Outlanders' original Elder Dragon. Radiantite armor, golden projectiles and a fight built around breaking plate after plate.

Fanged Wyvern Medium threat

Tobi-Kadachi

A fast climber that charges its fur with lightning. Water damage, a tail cut and patience during wall runs turn the fight around.

Bird Wyvern Medium threat

Tzitzi-Ya-Ku

A flash-based disruptor that punishes open ground. Thunder damage, raised camera awareness and a quick head break neutralize the show.

The variants hiding in the roster

Radiantite changes a familiar monster into a new hunt. These forms are confirmed in official or closed-beta material; each base page covers the known strategy.

A Radiant form is not just a palette swap. It adds elemental pressure, new projectiles and a separate material route. Treat the base weakness as a starting point, then prepare for the hazard that the transformed hunt introduces.
