Unveiling the Complete Roster of Fearsome Sunbreak Monsters in Monster Hunter Rise

Capcom's Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak builds upon the success of Monster Hunter World and its Iceborne update by delivering an expansive expansion just a year after the release of the highly acclaimed Monster Hunter Rise. With an impressive lineup of monsters, both in the base game and the Sunbreak expansion, players are treated to countless hours of engaging content as they embark on thrilling hunts and utilize their spoils to forge powerful gear. The addictive nature of the Monster Hunter loop is fueled by the exhilarating strength of these hunts.

In Sunbreak, the battles against these formidable creatures are not only intense but also strategically rewarding. Embracing a medieval fantasy aesthetic as opposed to Monster Hunter Rise's Japanese-inspired backdrop, Sunbreak introduces a host of unique monsters that players can gear up and pursue. Alongside beloved monsters from previous Monster Hunter titles and variations of creatures from Rise, Sunbreak unveils four entirely new additions to the franchise.

New Monsters to the Monster Hunter Franchise in Sunbreak

Lunagaron is a newly introduced monster in Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak. This formidable foe resembles a Tobi-Kadachi but is known for its exceptional speed and menacing nature. It possesses an ice-breath attack that can strike players from considerable distances and frequently releases a frost cloud with a wide area of effect.

Malzeno is known as the most powerful and formidable out of the "Three Lords" in Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak, alongside Lunagaron and Garangolm. As an Elder Dragon, Malzeno serves as the primary antagonist in Sunbreak and possesses the ability to drain players of their energy using vampiric powers.

Gaismagorm, on the other hand, is a secret post-game boss in Sunbreak and marks its first appearance in the Monster Hunter Rise expansion. This formidable dragon also possesses the ability to drain players of their energy using vampiric powers and is considered the most dangerous adversary players can face in Sunbreak.

Returning Monsters in Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak

Astalos (Monster Hunter Generations) -- Astalos, a flying wyvern in the Monster Hunter zoology, possesses an impressive mastery over electricity, making it a formidable opponent. Alongside emitting waves of electricity, this wyvern utilizes its horn and tail to unleash electrifying assaults.

Aurora Somnacanth (Variant) -- The Aurora Somnacanth, a distinctive variant of the Somnacanth featured in Monster Hunter Rise, deviates from its counterpart by harnessing the power of ice to inflict damage rather than relying on sleep-based attacks.

Blood Orange Bishaten (Variant) -- The Blood Orange Bishaten is a variant of the Bishaten found in Monster Hunter Rise. This particular variant has an auburn-colored appearance. Like the regular Bishaten, it has the ability to expel pinecones from its mouth, which it can then ignite to create explosive attacks.

Daimyo Hermitaur (Monster Hunter Frontier 2/G) -- The Daimyo Hermitaur is a formidable monster in Monster Hunter Frontier 2/G. It is known for its massive shell and heavily armored claws, which allow it to withstand hunters' attacks. Players who come face to face with this monster should focus on weakening its strong defenses while also remaining cautious of its water-based attacks.

Espinas (Monster Hunter Frontier) -- Espinas are flying wyverns known for their heavily-spiked hide, which serves as both a defense mechanism and a means of intimidation. These formidable creatures possess immense physical strength and are also capable of inflicting fireblight, poison, and paralysis status effects through their attacks.

Furious Rajang (Monster Hunter Freedom Unite) -- Unlike its base counterpart, Furious Rajang lacks the ability to turn its fur black and enter a recovery state. This variant of the Rajang is constantly in an offensive mode, displaying unparalleled levels of aggression and ferocity.

Gore Magala (Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate) -- The Gore Magala is a menacing black wyvern that utilizes the sensory capabilities of its wings to detect its surroundings. When its senses are heightened to their maximum, the creature enters a frenzied state, becoming even more perilous.

Magma Almudron (Variant) -- Unlike regular Almudrons relying on mud for defense, Magma Almudrons replace mud-based attacks with fire-based ones. They possess both aggression and agility, along with the ability to generate significant explosions.

Pyre Rakna Kadaki (Variant) is an arachnid-type monster that showcases its flame-based abilities. It utilizes its webbing to swiftly maneuver and has the ability to launch exploding eggs with a wide area of effect.

Scorned Magnamalo (Variant) may not be classified as an Elder Dragon, but its strength surpasses many of them. It possesses the capability to ward off other Elder Dragons and fiercely protects its territory as the top predator. Like the original Magnamalo, this variant is a flying wyvern that employs fire-based attacks.

Seregios (Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate) -- Seregios utilizes its flying wyvern nature to unleash a variety of aerial assaults. Apart from swooping attacks and tail strikes, it possesses the ability to inflict the bleed status effect through its scales.

Shagaru Magala (Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate) -- The Shagaru Magala represents the evolved and heightened threat level of the Gore Magala. Its frenzied state is even more formidable than that of the Gore Magala, and its body turns a distinctive purple hue when affected by frenzy.

The Shogun Ceanataur, found in Monster Hunter Frontier 2/G, is a formidable Carapaceon creature resembling the Daimyo Ceanataur. Like its counterpart, it possesses large claws that can cause the bleed effect when it snips players. However, its legs and underbelly are exposed weaknesses that can be exploited.
