"Monster Hunter Wilds: Captured Monsters Escape Stage Left"

While most players associate Monster Hunter with the thrill of the hunt, capturing monsters is an equally vital aspect of the game. In Monster Hunter Wilds, players have stumbled upon a delightful interaction that unfolds when they capture a monster and linger in the area. As shared by Reddit user RDGtheGreat on the r/MonsterHunter subreddit, staying near a captured monster can reveal a charming behind-the-scenes moment: the monster simply getting up and wandering off.

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

For instance, after capturing a Nu Udra and waiting patiently, players witness the giant cephalopod casually rising and departing. This has sparked humorous comparisons to a film set wrapping up, adding a layer of fun to the experience.

In terms of in-game lore, the reason behind this could be the research team's preference for a catch-and-release method over using large cages. This approach aligns well with the ethos of Alma and the team throughout the narrative of Monster Hunter Wilds.

Regardless of the lore, this quirky moment adds a delightful touch to the game. It's impressive to see how Capcom's developers have meticulously crafted this scenario, complete with a dedicated animation rather than a simple fade-out. The sight of a monster, now missing several limbs and appendages, scurrying away might look a bit silly, but it offers a glimpse into the humane and thoughtful approach Alma and her crew take in their research.
