Once the Poison has worn off, the red portion of the health bar will recover slowly. Depending on the monster and the rank of the quest, the Poison can drain the health bar at a faster rate than normal. The duration of Poison can be increased, decreased, or negated altogether with an appropriate skill.

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. |- | style="background-color:#3A5766;color:#ffffff;"| Remedy | style="text-align:left;"| Attack that causes knockback, wait it out |- | colspan="2" style="background-color:#3A5766;color:#ffffff;"| This Status Effect is inflicted by |- | colspan="2" style="text-align:left;"| Vespoid, Genprey, Cephalos, Altaroth, Bnahabra, Great Thunderbug, Queen Vespoid, Gendrome, Cephadrome, Khezu, Red Khezu, Kirin, White Fatalis, Gobul, Doragyurosu, Volvidon, Baleful Gigginox, Berukyurosu, Laviente, Violent Laviente, Kuarusepusu, Gurenzeburu, Hyujikiki, Aruganosu, Najarala, Tidal Najarala, Dalamadur, Baruragaru, Forokururu, Chramine, Desert Seltas, Shrouded Nerscylla, Tigerstripe Zamtrios, Zinogre (only in Apex status) |-

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. |- | style="background-color:#3A5766;color:#ffffff;"| Remedy | style="text-align:left;"| Get hit once (by monster or comrade), Energy Drink (MH3 and on), wait it out |- | colspan="2" style="background-color:#3A5766;color:#ffffff;"| This Status Effect is inflicted by |- | colspan="2" style="text-align:left;"| Baggi, Basarios, Ruby Basarios, Gravios, Black Gravios, Hypnocatrice, Breeding Season Hypnocatrice (HC ver. only), Hypnocatrice Rare Species, Plesioth, Green Plesioth, Shakalaka, Great Baggi, Uragaan, Qurupeco, Crimson Qurupeco, Nerscylla, Hororohoruru, Hyujikiki, Goruganosu, Gogomoa, Forokururu, Inagami |-

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. |- | style="background-color:#3A5766;color:#ffffff;"| Remedy | style="text-align:left;"| Repeatedly rotate the left analog stick and tap X (PSP) or A (Wii, Wii U, 3DS), either shake the Wii Remote or Nunchuck rapidly |- | colspan="2" style="background-color:#3A5766;color:#ffffff;"| This Status Effect is inflicted by |- | colspan="2" style="text-align:left;"| Gypceros, Purple Gypceros, Copper Blangonga, Gobul, Jhen Mohran, Rathalos,

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. |- | style="background-color:#3A5766;color:#ffffff;"| Remedy | style="text-align:left;"| Energy Drink, Ancient Potion |- | colspan="2" style="background-color:#3A5766;color:#ffffff;"| This Status Effect is inflicted by |- | colspan="2" style="text-align:left;"| Chameleos (2nd Gen), Akura Vashimu, Tetsucabra, Berserk Tetsucabra, Seltas (only when merged with Seltas Queen) |-

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. |- | style="background-color:#3A5766;color:#ffffff;"| Remedy | style="text-align:left;"| Thawing Agent (MHFU), Cleanser, shake the Wii Remote / rotate the analog stick or get physically hit by a teammate or monster |- | colspan="2" style="background-color:#3A5766;color:#ffffff;"| This Status Effect is inflicted by |- | colspan="2" style="text-align:left;"| Giaprey (MHFO), Giadrome, Blangonga, Kushala Daora, Ukanlos, Barioth, Alatreon,

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. |- | style="background-color:#3A5766;color:#ffffff;"| Remedy | style="text-align:left;"| Rolling, Deodorant |- | colspan="2" style="background-color:#3A5766;color:#ffffff;"| This Status Effect is inflicted by |- | colspan="2" style="text-align:left;"| Brachydios, Raging Brachydios, Congalala, Crimson Fatalis, Emerald Congalala, Teostra (4th Gen), Molten Tigrex |-

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 gain a 15% Affinity boost instead, as well as an immunity to infection for a short period of time. It is of note that a hunter recieves damage over time whilst in a "virus pool". This damage can be quite significant, if prolonged. |- | style="background-color:#3A5766;color:#ffffff;"| Remedy | style="text-align:left;"| While incubating, the incubation can be delayed by consuming a Nulberry. The fully incubated virus can only be cured by prolonged exposure to a Portable Steam Bomb or waiting it out. |- | colspan="2" style="background-color:#3A5766;color:#ffffff;"| This Status Effect is inflicted by |- | colspan="2" style="text-align:left;"| Gore Magala, Chaotic Gore Magala, Shagaru Magala, any Frenzied Monster, Any Apex Monster |-

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.
