Monsters with Minor Roles / References to Old Monsters

• Young Plesioth and Green Plesioth are catchable via the Palico Fishing Machine for materials but are unable to be fought by Hunters.
• Because of the introduction of Material Exchange in Monster Hunter 4, some monster materials present in the game do not automatically mean that the monster itself is available to be fought.

    • Amatsumagatsuchi, Dire Miralis, Ivory Lagiacrus, Abyssal Lagiacrus, Lucent Nargacuga, and Terra Shogun Ceanataur materials were not present in Monster Hunter 4 but are present in this game.
      • Only Scraps for Amatsumagatsuchi were present in Monster Hunter 4.
• The following are a list of monsters whose materials and Equipment are not available in the game, but its Scraps (used for creating Palico Equipment) are available and are only obtainable at Palico Quests:
