Monster Hunter Wilds Players Discover Captured Monsters Will Eventually Just Exit Stage Left

Author : Max Mar 15,2025

While many associate *Monster Hunter* with the thrill of the hunt, capturing monsters plays a surprisingly significant role. *Monster Hunter Wilds* players have stumbled upon a humorous quirk: captured monsters don't simply vanish; they actually get up and leave after a short while!

Reddit user RDGtheGreat, on the r/MonsterHunter subreddit, highlighted this amusing detail. After capturing a Nu Udra and patiently waiting, they witnessed the giant cephalopod casually rise and amble away. The scene prompted many humorous comparisons to a film wrap, adding a lighthearted touch to the gameplay.

Fun fact: captured monsters just get up and leave within a minute of napping

While in-game explanations for this behavior remain open to interpretation (the research team doesn't exactly have giant monster holding cells!), it aligns with the game's more catch-and-release approach to monster study, reflecting Alma's and the team's overall attitude.

Regardless of the lore, it's a charming detail. Capcom's inclusion of a dedicated animation, instead of a simple fade-out, showcases attention to detail. The sight of a multi-limbed cephalopod, somewhat depleted after capture, waddling away is undeniably funny, yet it subtly enriches the understanding of Alma's research methods.
