Monsters with Minor Roles / References to Old Monsters

 * Plesioth appears in this game, but in a more minor role. It is one of the possible fishes that can be fished in the island that will yield materials.
 * Because of the introduction of Excavation Equipment, some monster materials present in the game do not automatically mean that the monster itself is available to be fought. The following are a list monsters whose items, weapons or armor have been confirmed to exist, but have not yet been physically seen in the game:
 * Arzuros, Barroth, Diablos, Duramboros, Lavasioth, Ludroth, Nargacuga, Nibelsnarf, Qurupeco, Shogun Ceanataur and Uragaan.
