Notes[]
- The translation team behind Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate and Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate chose to stick with the names Zinogre and Gore Magala, as the names were already used in official Japanese merchandise even before the games were released. Uniqlo merchandise were among those that used the romanized names for their products.
