Turf War

Turf Wars are a mechanic introduced into Monster Hunter World. When two monsters meet, they might engage in a cinematic battle where either one or both monsters take significant damage and drop an item.

Bond Attacks are a mechanic introduced into Monster Hunter World with the introduction of Lunastra as a DLC. They are a special attack that has two monsters fuse their attacks together to create a massive, highly damaging attack. So far the only monsters that can do this are Teostra and Lunastra.

List of Monster Bond Attacks

• Teostra & Lunastra (when both are in the area and are enraged, they will merge their supernovas together creating a wide range attack that deals a lot of damage)

Notes

• Including its subspecies, Diablos has the most turf wars out of any monster in Monster Hunter World. (In Iceborne, Anjanath has the most turf wars, including its subspecies.)
• Despite the animations appearing to be in its favour, Nergigante's turf wars with Kushala Daora, Teostra, and Lunastra are ties, as both combatants take the same amount of damage (in terms of % of HP) and there isn't a clear loser, as neither is downed after the Turf War ends.
• Every time Deviljho engages in a Turf War, it will enter rage mode, unless it was already enraged prior to the Turf War.
• If not including subspecies, Rathalos has the most turf wars out of any monster in Monster Hunter World: Iceborne.
• Out of all the monsters in Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, Rajang has the most turf wars.
• Odogaron and its subspecies, Savage Deviljho, and Rajang are the only non-Elder Dragon large monsters to have a Turf War with an Elder Dragon.
  • Odogaron and its subspecies are also the ones that lost their turf war against an Elder Dragon.
• Odogaron is also the only apex predator/monster to not have a turf war with Deviljho, but is instead used as a weapon.
• Odogaron, Deviljho, their respective subspecies/variants, and Rajang are the only monsters to break another monster's body part during a turf war; in this case, Odogaron breaks off some of Radobaan's bony armor, Ebony Odogaron breaks Uragaan's chin, Deviljho snaps off one of Diablos' horns, Savage Deviljho snaps off one of Black Diablos' horns, and Rajang breaks off Kirin's horn before eating it.
• The turf war between Glavenus and Rathalos is the second turf war to have random winner, with the first being the one between Diablos and Black Diablos.
• In Xbox version, the turf war between Ruiner Nergigante and Velkhana is actually a tie, but only Ruiner Nergigante takes damage.
• Rajang is the only non-Elder Dragon monster to win a turf war with an Elder Dragon.
  • Rajang is also the only monster that breaks a part of an Elder Dragon.
• Rajang will enter rage mode before dealing damage in its Turf Wars against Savage Deviljho and Ruiner Nergigante, only to exit rage mode shortly afterwards, unless it was enraged beforehand.
• Rajang has two turf war animations against Kirin.
  • Rajang will briefly enter and then exit rage mode after consuming Kirin's horn at the end of their Turf War, unless it was enraged beforehand.
  • Rajang will not consume Kirin's horn and briefly enrage if Kirin's horn was broken before the Turf War.
• Rajang has the most turf wars that are victorious.
