A celebratory artwork
The ranking was drawn up based on the global survey launched last November, where Capcom asked players to vote for their favorites among the 229 monsters that have appeared in the Monster Hunter series so far. A difficult choice but from the ranking it is clear that Monster Hunter World's impact was enormous, given that a good part of the monsters included in the top 20 also appeared in this title and in the Iceborne expansion. However, there is also no shortage of other historical creatures, such as the aforementioned Lagiacrus and the Gore Magala.
To celebrate, Capcom has created the trailer above which shows the complete ranking with all 229 monsters of the series and the illustration below which immortalizes the three who obtained the most votes, namely Zinogre, Nergigante and Lagiacrus.
What do you think, do you agree with the ranking drawn up by votes from the Monster Hunter community or in your opinion were there other monsters that would have deserved a place in the top 10? Let us know in the comments below.
