Monsters with Minor Roles / References to Old Monsters

Young Plesioth and Green Plesioth are catchable via the Palico Fishing Machine for materials but are unable to be fought by Hunters.
Because of the introduction of Material Exchange in Monster Hunter 4, 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 of monsters whose items, weapons or armor have been confirmed to exist, but the monster themselves are not physically seen in the game:
- Agnaktor, Amatsu, Arzuros, Barioth, Sand Barioth, Barroth, Blangonga, Ceadeus, Dire Miralis, Duramboros, Gobul, Hypnocatrice, Jhen Mohran, Lagiacrus, Ivory Lagiacrus, Abyssal Lagiacrus, Lao-Shan Lung, Lavasioth, Lunastra, Nargacuga, Lucent Nargacuga, Nibelsnarf, Qurupeco, Royal Ludroth, Shen Gaoren, Shogun Ceanataur, Terra Shogun Ceanataur, Uragaan, Steel Uragaan, Vespoid, Volvidon, and Yama Tsukami.
  - Amatsu, Sand Barioth, Dire Miralis, Ivory Lagiacrus, Abyssal Lagiacrus, Lucent Nargacuga, Terra Shogun Ceanataur, and Steel Uragaan materials were not present in Monster Hunter 4 but are present in this game.
    - Only Scraps for Amatsu were present in Monster Hunter 4.
