Name | Paralysis / 麻痺 |
Appeared in | MHF2, MHFU, MH3, MHP3, MH3U, MHFO, MH4, MH4U, MHGen, MHXX, MHW | |
Description | ||
A dreaded status effect that completely immobilizes for a certain period of time, leaving the victim helpless. Upon being Paralyzed, the Hunter will fall down on their face (or remain motionless in an arched position underwater) and yellow sparks of lightning will be seen passing through their body. The duration of Paralysis can be increased, decreased, or negated altogether with an appropriate skill. There is nothing a Hunter can do but to wait for the Paralysis to wear off or for certain attacks to send them flying. This status effect had been previously known as "Stun" in the early Monster Hunter games, but has recently been referred to as "Paralysis" to better differentiate it from the ailment caused by Flash Bombs and Impact-type attacks. | ||

Name | Sleep / 睡眠 |
Appeared in | MHF2, MHFU, MH3, MHP3, MH3U, MHFO, MH4, MH4U, MHGen, MHXX, MHW | |
Description | ||
Some monsters have the potential to put Hunters to Sleep. It is similar to Paralysis in that it leaves the Hunter unable to do anything. However, damage taken when asleep is greatly increased and will end the status after one hit. The duration of Sleep can be increased, decreased, or negated altogether with an appropriate skill. Starting in Monster Hunter 3 on, one does not immediately fall asleep when Sleep is inflicted. Instead, the Hunter will become drowsy allowing an Energy Drink to be used if the player is fast enough, negating the effect before falling asleep. Any non-Sleep inducing monster attack will wake up the Hunter again, and also those from fellow Hunters or Felyne/Shakalaka comrades. Leaving the area also appears to rid the Hunter of the status, but it's uncommon to recieve this whilst close enough to an exit. | ||
Remedy | Get hit once (by monster or comrade), Energy Drink (MH3 and on), wait it out | |

Name | Stun / 気絶 |
Appeared in | MH, MHF, MHF2, MHFU, MH3, MHP3, MH3U, MHFO MH3U, MH4, MH4U, MHGen, MHXX, MHW | |
Description | ||
Occurs when a Hunter receives many attacks in a short period of time, but some monster attacks are guaranteed to cause it if they hit. When Stunned/Knocked Out, movement, attacking and items are completely disabled. The visual indication is a ring of yellow stars spinning above the affected target's head. All monsters can inflict Stun by means of repeated physical attacks, but some can inflict it immediately by emitting an extremely bright flash of light, or another special technique. When a monster is inflicted with it by use of a Flash Bomb, it attacks randomly until the effect wears off and if inflicted by repeated Impact-type attacks (such as Hammer or Hunting Horn), the monster is completely immobilized for a short while. If a Flash Bomb is used then the monster is KO'd by an Impact hit, more stars circle around its head than normal but the effect duration is the same. The duration of the stun can be increased, decreased, or negated altogether with an appropriate skill. By rotating the analog stick used for movement in a circular motion and tapping the evasion button, the player can snap out of it on their own. | ||
Remedy | Repeatedly rotate the left analog stick and tap X (PSP) or A (Wii, Wii U, 3DS), either shake the Wii Remote or Nunchuck rapidly | |

Appeared in | MH2, MHF2, MHFU, MHP3, MH3U, MHFO, MH4, MH4U, MHGen, MHXX | |
Description | ||
Inflicted after being hit by the infamous farting or dung flinging attacks of the Congalala, Steel Uragaan etc. It causes the Hunter to be surrounded by a cloud of vile-smelling brown gas. Being Soiled disables the ability to use any consumable items such as Potions, Steaks, Hot/Cool Drinks, etc. Called "Stench" in Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. | ||

Name | Fatigue | |
Appeared in | MH2, MHF2, MHFU, MHFO, MH4, MH4U, MHGen, MHXX | |
Description | ||
An extremely rare status effect where a Hunter's Stamina is dropped to its lowest level and they become unable to use most Stamina restoring items. Fatigue is indicated visually by green clouds rising from the Hunter. In Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, only Chameleos' spit attack can inflict this status. In Monster Hunter 4, the Tetsucabra and Seltas' fluid attacks will momentarily drop current Stamina to zero, but it will restore normally over time. | ||

(MHF) (MHP3) (MH4) (MH4U) (MH3) (MH3U) |
Name | Snowman / 雪だるま |
Appeared in | MH2, MHF2, MHFU, MH3, MHP3, MH3U, MH4, MH4U, MHFO, MHGen, MHXX | |
Description | ||
Getting hit by an extremely cold attack can inflict Snowman. It's usually caused by a very cold breath attack that forms a layer of ice over the Hunter's body, preventing use of any items (except a Thawing Agent or Cleanser) and attacks. Snowman can also be healed with being attacked or falling from a great height. Whilst in the Snowman status, it is possible to sprint without Stamina loss but movement speed is decreased slightly. In MH4U, sprinting DOES use stamina, but at a greatly reduced rate. | ||
Remedy | Thawing Agent (MHFU), Cleanser, shake the Wii Remote / rotate the analog stick or get physically hit by a teammate or monster | |
This Status Effect is inflicted by | ||

Name | Muddy / 泥まみれ状態 | |
Appeared in | MH3, MHP3, MH3U, MHXX, MHW | |
Description | ||
A status effect inflicted when mud thrown by a monster covers the Hunter and makes movement more difficult. This disables weapons and most items from being used. Repeatedly spin the analog stick to speed up recovery, or use a Cleanser. The effects are very similar to the 'Snowman' effect. In Monster Hunter: World mud just slows down your hunter instead of blocking your actions. | ||
Remedy | Cleanser, shake the Wii Remote / rotate the analog stick or get hit by a teammate or monster | |
This Status Effect is inflicted by | ||
Barroth, Tigrex (in Sandy Plains), Brute Tigrex (in Sandy Plains), Rust Duramboros, Yellow Caeserber, Jyuratodus | ||
Name | Felvine-Scented / マタタビまみれ | |
Appeared in | MH3, MHP3, MH3U, MH4, MH4U | |
Description | ||
Makes Felynes and Melynxes in the area to attack those affected. This status effect is shown as pink smoke and can only be inflicted with an exploding Felvine Bomb. Felynes and Melynxes will dance, encircle, and then jump at anything carrying the bomb's scent. Monsters as well as Hunters can be affected. When used on the Felynes or Melynxes themselves, they become intoxicated and unable to move normally. Wears off with time. | ||
Remedy | Waiting it out | |
This Status Effect is inflicted by | ||
Felvine Bombs | ||
(3rd Gen) (4th Gen) |
Name | Life Drain / 吸血 |
Appeared in | MH3, MHP3, MH3U, MH4, MH4U, MHGen, MHXX | |
Description | ||
A monster bites onto the Hunter and sucks their blood, gradually draining health. Multiple monsters may latch onto the Hunter at once, so they should be shaken off quickly. If a Giggi drains enough health, it becomes able to use a poison spit attack, and if a Zamite gains enough health, it will greatly increase in size and grow limbs. | ||
Remedy | Rolling | |
This Status Effect is inflicted by | ||
Giggi, Zamite | ||
(MH3U) (4th Gen) |
Name | Slimeblight / Blastblight / 爆破やられ |
Appeared in | MH3U, MH4, MH4U, MHGen, MHXX, MHW | |
Description | ||
Known as Slimeblight in Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, and Blastblight in Monster Hunter 4 onwards, this ailment will cover the Hunter in slime or explosive powder. Movement isn't hindered, but Hunters affected by it suffer a damaging explosion if struck by a monster, or if the status isn't rid of quickly by rolling a few times. Even blocked attacks can inflict this status. When affected, all blocking attempts will fail so it is advised to pay attention to the status icons next to the Hunter's name.
When used against monsters, different colored effects will signify how many more hits are needed to trigger an explosion. When enough status is applied, an explosion occurs, dealing a fixed amount of damage on whatever part the triggering hit struck. The buildup then resets and the monster's tolerance increases like with the main status effects, making the next explosion a bit more difficult to trigger. Of note is that this effect is not affected by Status Attack Up, but instead the Bombardier armor skill, which makes applying the status faster but does not directly increase damage. Despite this, Blastblight is still a status, and is in turn affected by the CritStatus armor skill. The Bombardier armor skill grants a 1.2 multiplier to the status' potency. This isn't seen on the weapon's profile itself, but can be seen on the Status screen under the Hunter's raw Attack power. Obtaining the Felyne Pyro skill provides a 1.1 multiplier. The effects of Bombardier and Felyne Pyro can stack. | ||
Remedy | Rolling, Deodorant | |
This Status Effect is inflicted by | ||
Brachydios, Raging Brachydios, Evangelion Brachydios, Iceblast Brachydios, Congalala, Crimson Fatalis, Emerald Congalala, Teostra (4th Gen), Molten Tigrex, Hellblade Glavenus, Nakarkos, Fatalis (MHST), Dodogama | ||
(Eye Icon) |
Name | Frenzy Virus / 狂竜ウイルス |
Appeared in | MH4, MH4U, MHGen, MHXX | |
Description | ||
The Hunter becomes infected with a virus. It requires time to incubate, represented by a purple bar filling up below the Hunter's on-screen name. If the bar fills completely, the virus negates natural health recovery, meaning that the Hunter takes full damage from attacks without being able to heal back half of it. Additionally, all attacks which would cause the condition will deal extra damage while the virus is active. However, if the Hunter inflicts enough damage on a monster whilst the virus is incubating, they will grow stronger instead, gaining a 15% Affinity boost, as well as an immunity to reinfection for a short period of time.
It is of note that a hunter receives damage over time whilst in a "virus pool". This damage can be quite significant, if prolonged. | ||
Remedy | While incubating, the incubation can be delayed (but not stopped permanently) by consuming a Nulberry. The fully incubated virus can only be cured by prolonged exposure to a Portable Steam Bomb, a Remedy Shot, or waiting it out. | |
This Status Effect is inflicted by | ||
Gore Magala, Chaotic Gore Magala, Shagaru Magala, any Frenzied Monster, any Apex Monster, the Frenzy Fever Hunter Art | ||
Name | Webbed / 糸拘束状態 | |
Appeared in | MH4, MH4U, MHXX | |
Description | ||
The signature status effect of Nerscylla and Ahtal-Ka, Webbed immobilizes the Hunter in a sticky film which prevents movement. Nerscylla mainly uses this opportunity to strike the victim with a sleep-inducing sting or a poisoning bite attack. It is possible to break free relatively easily just by rotating the analog pad. | ||
Remedy | Cleanser, rotate the analog pad or get hit by a teammate or monster | |
This Status Effect is inflicted by | ||
Nerscylla, Shrouded Nerscylla, Ahtal-Ka | ||
(MH4U) |
Name | Bleeding / 裂傷 |
Appeared in | MH4U, MHGen, MHXX, MHW, MHFO | |

Name | Fatigue | |
Appeared in | MH2, MHF2, MHFU, MHFO, MH4, MH4U, MHGen, MHXX | |
Description | ||
An extremely rare status effect where a Hunter's Stamina is dropped to its lowest level and they become unable to use most Stamina restoring items. Fatigue is indicated visually by green clouds rising from the Hunter. In Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, only Chameleos' spit attack can inflict this status. In Monster Hunter 4, the Tetsucabra and Seltas' fluid attacks will momentarily drop current Stamina to zero, but it will restore normally over time. | ||

Name | Snowman / 雪だるま |
Appeared in | MH2, MHF2, MHFU, MH3, MHP3, MH3U, MH4, MH4U, MHFO, MHGen, MHXX | |
Description | ||
Getting hit by an extremely cold attack can inflict Snowman. It's usually caused by a very cold breath attack that forms a layer of ice over the Hunter's body, preventing use of any items (except a Thawing Agent or Cleanser) and attacks. Snowman can also be healed with being attacked or falling from a great height. Whilst in the Snowman status, it is possible to sprint without Stamina loss but movement speed is decreased slightly. In MH4U, sprinting DOES use stamina, but at a greatly reduced rate. | ||
Remedy | Thawing Agent (MHFU), Cleanser, shake the Wii Remote / rotate the analog stick or get physically hit by a teammate or monster | |

Name | Muddy / 泥まみれ状態 | |
Appeared in | MH3, MHP3, MH3U, MHXX, MHW | |
Description | ||
A status effect inflicted when mud thrown by a monster covers the Hunter and makes movement more difficult. This disables weapons and most items from being used. Repeatedly spin the analog stick to speed up recovery, or use a Cleanser. The effects are very similar to the 'Snowman' effect. In Monster Hunter: World mud just slows down your hunter instead of blocking your actions. | ||
Remedy | Cleanser, shake the Wii Remote / rotate the analog stick or get hit by a teammate or monster | |

Felynes and Melynxes will dance, encircle, and then jump at anything carrying the bomb's scent. Monsters as well as Hunters can be affected. When used on the Felynes or Melynxes themselves, they become intoxicated and unable to move normally. Wears off with time. | ||

Name | Life Drain / 吸血 |
Appeared in | MH3, MHP3, MH3U, MH4, MH4U, MHGen, MHXX | |
Description | ||
A monster bites onto the Hunter and sucks their blood, gradually draining health. Multiple monsters may latch onto the Hunter at once, so they should be shaken off quickly. If a Giggi drains enough health, it becomes able to use a poison spit attack, and if a Zamite gains enough health, it will greatly increase in size and grow limbs. | ||
Remedy | Rolling | |
This Status Effect is inflicted by | ||
Giggi, Zamite | ||
(MH3U) (4th Gen) |
Name | Slimeblight / Blastblight / 爆破やられ |
Appeared in | MH3U, MH4, MH4U, MHGen, MHXX, MHW | |
Description | ||
Known as Slimeblight in Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, and Blastblight in Monster Hunter 4 onwards, this ailment will cover the Hunter in slime or explosive powder. Movement isn't hindered, but Hunters affected by it suffer a damaging explosion if struck by a monster, or if the status isn't rid of quickly by rolling a few times. Even blocked attacks can inflict this status. When affected, all blocking attempts will fail so it is advised to pay attention to the status icons next to the Hunter's name.
When used against monsters, different colored effects will signify how many more hits are needed to trigger an explosion. When enough status is applied, an explosion occurs, dealing a fixed amount of damage on whatever part the triggering hit struck. The buildup then resets and the monster's tolerance increases like with the main status effects, making the next explosion a bit more difficult to trigger. Of note is that this effect is not affected by Status Attack Up, but instead the Bombardier armor skill, which makes applying the status faster but does not directly increase damage. Despite this, Blastblight is still a status, and is in turn affected by the CritStatus armor skill. The Bombardier armor skill grants a 1.2 multiplier to the status' potency. This isn't seen on the weapon's profile itself, but can be seen on the Status screen under the Hunter's raw Attack power. Obtaining the Felyne Pyro skill provides a 1.1 multiplier. The effects of Bombardier and Felyne Pyro can stack. | ||

(Eye Icon) |
Name | Frenzy Virus / 狂竜ウイルス |
Appeared in | MH4, MH4U, MHGen, MHXX | |
Description | ||
The Hunter becomes infected with a virus. It requires time to incubate, represented by a purple bar filling up below the Hunter's on-screen name. If the bar fills completely, the virus negates natural health recovery, meaning that the Hunter takes full damage from attacks without being able to heal back half of it. Additionally, all attacks which would cause the condition will deal extra damage while the virus is active. However, if the Hunter inflicts enough damage on a monster whilst the virus is incubating, they will grow stronger instead, gaining a 15% Affinity boost, as well as an immunity to reinfection for a short period of time.
It is of note that a hunter receives damage over time whilst in a "virus pool". This damage can be quite significant, if prolonged. | ||
Remedy | While incubating, the incubation can be delayed (but not stopped permanently) by consuming a Nulberry. The fully incubated virus can only be cured by prolonged exposure to a Portable Steam Bomb, a Remedy Shot, or waiting it out. | |
This Status Effect is inflicted by | ||
Gore Magala, Chaotic Gore Magala, Shagaru Magala, any Frenzied Monster, any Apex Monster, the Frenzy Fever Hunter Art | ||

Nerscylla mainly uses this opportunity to strike the victim with a sleep-inducing sting or a poisoning bite attack. It is possible to break free relatively easily just by rotating the analog pad. | ||

Elemental Effects
From Monster Hunter 3 onward, certain monster attacks can inflict Hunters with status effects known collectively as Blights. The higher the Element Resistance on your armor against the corresponding Element, the less likely the Blight will be inflicted upon being hit. A low Element Resistance means the Blight effect will be more potent and proportionally more damage will be received from the attack. The Severe versions of Blights will last longer, and they can all be negated with the skill Blightproof. Shakalakas or Felyne Comrades cannot be affected by Blights.
