About Endemic Life

Creatures That Inhabit the Area

Endemic Life are wildlife that you can interact with during missions to gain certain benefits and/or effects.

In Monster Hunter World (MHW), they are collectibles that can be added to your room as decorations. Aside from providing research points and fulfilling quests, they offer no other benefits. In MHRise, they offer certain effects that can be used in your hunts.
