Add to Watchlist

Dapperwing is an Endemic Life found in the Scarlet Forest in Monster Hunter Wilds. Read on to learn all we know about the locations and uses of Dapperwing here!

Dapperwing Location

All Dapperwing Locations

The Dapperwing can be found in multiple areas of the Scarlet Forest, such as Areas 3, 12, 15, and 17. We recommend setting up camp in Area 17 and constantly fast travel back and forth from Area 12 to get the best chances of spawning a Dapperwing.

They are usually seen perched high up on tree branches or structures in the forest.
