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.

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.
- There is an invisible gathering spot in Area 6, which can be accessed by climbing up the ledge where the eggs. The spot is right next to the huge root on your left after climbing. This spot only yields Kut-Ku Scales, making it both one of the easiest way to make money as well as farming said Scales.
