The Old Jungle, also known as the Rain Forest, is a location introduced in Monster Hunter, characterized by dense, visibility-inhibiting vegetation, rivers and cold caves filled with ankle-depth water. This harsh environment is home to many monsters, such as Yian Kut-Ku, Khezu, Gypceros and Plesioth.

This location has plentiful amounts of Mushroom and Bug Gathering spots, one can follow Mosswines around as they tend to path towards Mushroom spots.

Area 2
	Similar to Area 1, one can find Aptonoth near the path back to Base Camp, and Mosswine on the other side, Bird Wyverns and Flying Wyverns often come here, there is a path around a giant tree that leads to Area 5, and a narrow passage to Area 3.
	Monsters: Aptonoth, Mosswine.
Area 3
	Another area with dense vegetation, one side ends on a cliff, while on the other runs a large river where Plesioth may be seen, Melynx are also commonly found in this area, by walking on a log you can go back to Area 2, while a passage on the other end leads to Area 7.

	Monsters: Mosswine, Bullfango, Vespoid.
Area 5
	A small safe area, the Veggie Elder can be seen wandering around here, this area is bordered by giant trees, the only way out is back to Area 2.
Area 6

Area 8
	A large cave bordered with waterfalls and ankle-depth water, many Herbivores can be seen feeding on the abundant vegetation, along with small lobsters that move away when you get close, there is a path to Area 9. Khezu can sometimes be seen here along with other wyverns, the only exception being Plesioth which stays in the water and therefore does not come here.

Notes

• The small animals seen in Area 5 cannot be killed or interacted with in any way, they are only for scenery, same applies to the lobsters in Area 8, except they do react to players (by running away from them).
• This is a good place to obtain points via Special Mushrooms.
• This place is also the location for insect extermination quests involving the Vespoid and Hornetaur.
• In Area 7 of 1st Generation games it is possible to trigger the jump animation if the Hunter runs to the eastern edge of the map.
