Monster Hunter (MH) Wilds - Tracktail Lizard 1 Map Overview

When locating a Tracktail Lizard, you will notice that it stands upright with its tail, leaving distinct prints on the sand once it goes on the move. A Tracktail Lizard's skin color shade is blue and it has a large and thick tail.

Endemic Life can be scared away when you approach them without a Ghillie Mantle, so make sure to equip it first before trying to catch Tracktail Lizards. Try not to miss as well with the Capture Net as they can escape after a missed attempt.
