I've been having internet troubles, so my apologies in advance if I accidentally post this twice.

I've seen people mention that the term for these special, new monsters is 'Deviant', but I haven't seen anything about these 'Hyper' monsters yet, which I presume is the localised name for Ferocious monsters. Maybe I just accidentally missed the mention, or maybe other people missed it in amongst things like the demo and Silverwind.

From the UK site:

Expect the unexpected
An assortment of adversaries, new and old, are eager to put you through your paces, but none quite compare to Hyper and Deviant Monsters! Both types of adversary are based on familiar foes but each type has its own unique differences. Hyper Monsters closely resemble their normal counterparts; aside from the glowing aura around certain body parts that highlights a deadly new appendage or weakness. Deviant Monsters, on the other hand, are much bigger and more ferocious looking thanks to their enlarged fangs or horns. Deviants also have surprising attacks and personalities to deal with too!

It won’t be an easy task but the rewards for toppling these two new terrors will help you to craft some of the best weapons and equipment around!
