Monster Hunter Wilds - Are There Elder Dragons

There are currently no Elder Dragons on release in Monster Hunter Wilds. See more details about Elder Dragons in the game in this guide!

Are There Elder Dragons In Game?

No Elder Dragons on Release

Arkveld

As of the game's release, there are no Elder Dragons in Monster Hunter Wilds. Arkveld, the game's flagship monster, is not categorized as an Elder Dragon.

Developers have said that they wanted to shift the game's focus away from Elder Dragons, and so there may be fewer of them that appear.

Gore Magala is In the Game

MH Wilds - Gore Magala Frenzy

The iconic Gore Magala is in Monster Hunter Wilds. While not an Elder Dragon itself, it is known to transform into the Elder Dragon Shagaru Magala, but it is not in the game on release.

The Focus is on Apex Monsters

Uth Duna

The game's biggest threats are represented by Apex Monsters, such as Rey Dau and Uth Duna. They are not classified as Elder Dragons (Rey Dau is a Flying Wyvern, Uth Duna is a Leviathan), but are powerful regardless.
