Size is the term used to dictate how big or small a monster is. The new size scale was first incorporated into Monster Hunter Freedom, where, in the hunter's card shows only the largest size of all the monsters they defeated. In subsequent games monsters of the greatest and smallest size recieve a gold crown, placed next to the name of the monster in the hunter's card. In MHF1, as well as all following games, fairly large monsters will receive silver crowns.
Subspecies are not included in this list. This however, changes in Monster Hunter Portable 3rd, where each subspecies has their own list.
Some monsters vary in size from quest to quest. This list goes according to the sizes most frequently observed.
