Monster Hunter 20th Anniversary - Hunters' Choice: Top Monster | Top 20! 

Steel Uragaan fans in shambles. All 3 of them

Bazel, my dear sweet bomb chicken, I tried my best.

Damn I didn't know people loved Valstrax, Nergigante, Fatalis, Lagiacrus, and Zinogre that much they would get in the list twice!

It's actually really fitting Lagi got third place since he debuted in Tri.

Shoutout to all of my MH: Tri players out here putting up the good fight into forcing Capcom to add Lagiacrus to Monster Hunter: Wilds.

Glad to see lagi get in the top 20 twice, that and official art for it for the first time in long while.

Deviljho/Anjanath crowd, let us bow our heads in silence.

This list will not stop you from facing Kushala Daora in every Monster Hunter Game. I'm just glad Velkhana is so beloved, my personal favorite Elder.

Holy shit lagiacrus on top 3. let's gooooo

Ay, we got Namielle up there. Pretty happy with that.

I like how Primordial seems like the only variant to surpass the base form, but by virtue of its lore is in fact the base form itself. Anyway, props to Alatreon making it to top ten despite its drama, and Nergigante nabbing two spots is hilarious.

Really wish Gogmazios made it to top 20 so that newer hunters could see what an absolute legend he is

Great Jaggi is 68th place, I still win in my heart.

4:49 bro dropped the cleanest transition and thought we wouldn't notice😭🔥

I knew Zinogre is king. But kinda wish they could just combine most of the sub-species together to make spots for other monsters. 😅😅😅 It's great to see Lagiacrus so high considering we haven't seen him in a decade. If that's not enough proof for Capcom to bring him back in Wilds then I don't know what is.

The fact 6 of them got top 20 twice (counting subspecies) shows how popular Zinogre, Nergigante, Lagiacrus, Valstrax, Gore magala, and Fatalis are

Wooo glad to see Gore Magala this high on the list! 💪

Abyssal Lagiacrus in 12th and Lagiacrus in 3rd place. I can rest in peace knowing the leviathan is loved

Us Seregios fans tearin up rn 💔 No Steve in the top 10 is an absolute crime

Let's go Nargacuga, placing 7th! 😎🐵👍

Proud to be part of the Lagia supporters.

Rathalos, Deviljho and Rajang not cracking the top 10 is crazy… They shouldn’t have included subspecies or variants, Nergigante are on the list twice

Can’t wait for the next MH game. Love the franchise

My boy Lagi finally got the love he deserves! I’m finna get a Lagi tattoo 🤣

20 years of masterpieces, thank you monster hunter

To the whole MH Team, Thank you so much for all those efforts in these 20 amazing years. You guys made one if not the best gaming franchise ever done. Happy Birthday and see you in Wilds. #Happyhunting everyone

Lagiacrus will always be my favorite. My first MH game was 3U and I'll never forget the cold chill I got when he just appeared during an early quest of hunting regular ludroths. My blood ran cold.

seeing Nergigante in 2nd had me like "Its Mah Boi!!" but then also seeing Zinogre in 1st had me go "IT'S MAH BOIS!!!!!"

So happy that despite the fact that Alatreon divided the community in half back in 2020, it still made the top 10 Hunter's choice. My vote got in!

Not sure who thought it would be a good idea to allow subspecies as a separate entries. This was really just a top 10.

Sad that tigrex is not on the list😢

Sad that Raging Brachydios didnt make it , but the normal one did which is good enough i guess

Sad that Ahtal-Ka didn't make it, but happy Valstrax slid in to slot 4. The top 3 being a mix of two fan-faves and a relative newcomer's also neat as well!

The results only confirm to me just how influential MHW was. Several of its headlining monsters all had top placements.

Poor Ahtal didn't get too high on the list. Here hoping Wild will give her more love.

Someday, the Seltas queen will make it onto this list 🤘

Lagiacrus was what sold the MH series to me. Picked up Tri on the Wii when I was like 10 years old, fascinated by the Lagi box art and what the gameplay trailers seemed to promise. And somehow the game, especially Lagi, lived up to my super high expectations. The cinematic cutscenes that introduced Lagi were just outrageously cool, and when you had to go fight underwater, on HIS turf... The whole atmosphere of that fight made me feel equal parts badass and helplessly small. More than any other fight since. For me he really is the coolest monster all things considered and I'm glad so many agree

To all who voted velkhana: You're based! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise! Congrats to zinogre fans. I may not agree with the results, but zinogre is solid.

Doesn't surprise me at all that Zinogre got the top spot. Well done big guy! Not my personal favorite, but maybe that's because I spent hours farming it.

It tells about Lagiacrus's popularity that it is the only monster that does not appear in any form in 5th gen, yet it made top 5

I was surprised that velkhana managed to get top 10 spot but I honestly she/he deserve it Edit: am also surprised that rajang and deviljho didn't get top 20 spot to

MY BOY!!! WE MADE IT, MY BOY!!!!!!

Surprised but not disappointed, zinogre's design is badass af

Been watching the stream with my hunting buddies and the hype for every reveal is soo real!! The Top 10 is legenedary and well deserved 👏

I'm glad to see that despite most monsters here being from 5th gen (either introduced or remade) as I expected, we also got White Fatty and Abyssal Lagi, two monsters that we haven't seen in a long time. Also my two favourites got both in the top 3, and the third out of them I was fully expecting to be there, so Yay me! Kinda surprised some mons like Jho, Rajang, Amatsu or Tigrex didn't make it, I wonder if they could have if subspecies/variants weren't counted as different candidates.

The absence of Tigrex, Rajang, and Jho, is a huge surprise. The presence of Zinogre and Lagiacrus in the top 3 is also a huge surprise 😂

Need to say that Monster Hunter has insane Battle Monster Music! Huge!

It's ok Glavenus, you'll always be MY favorite.

I'm so glad both Valstrax are top 20 and nearly top 3! My favorite Elder will pierce the heavens!

rest in peace my poor glavenus

I know that variants add many more traits to a monster than just a new color but I would've liked to see no repeats on this list. Take the variation with the highest placing and free the other spots to include more monsters. But overall I found some very interesting/unexpected picks which speaks volumes about the game's rich diversity of creatures.

Zinogre on top feels good. And Narga and Valstrax in the top 10 makes me happy as well.

I'm so happy that nargacuga made it in, and among the top 10! My all time favorite Monster!

I have mixed feelings about their being two Nergigantes and Valstraxes that look very similar to the original. I think their votes should have been fused since their so similar. But overall I'm pleased with the results. I love Valstrax, Gore Magala/Shagaru Magala and Primordial Malzeno. Zinogre and Lagiacrus are worthy top picks as well. Bravo people.

Hope we see some of these in the new game!

Lagiacrus ❤❤❤

I was expecting to see at least one variant of Rathalos or Deviljho but holy moly my boy Zinogre was the one one!

Hopefully we get these 20 monsters in the next game

let's appreciate that Lagi made the top three, while only appearing in 1 generation of monhun, and the champion for probably one of the most divisive feature ever: underwater combat. the message is clear, guys at capcom: we love Lagi. bring him back.

So happy that Nergi got 2nd and 9th place! Actually fell in love with it in MHS2 and it has remained on my team ever since! Can't wait to fight it in worlds!

2 things to say: -Glad to see Magala in the Top 5 -How Rathalos is missing here?

Actually surprised that tigrex didn't make it, Jho also. Maybe I would add Rathalos and Rajang there.

Primordial Malzeno was the monster I voted for. I'm so happy to see it make it in the top 15

Thank you fellow Gore Magala favorites. We did it!!!

Ma boi Ceadeus comes after Pukei Pukei. Damn.

Seeing the Shagaru Magala brings a smile to my face.

Im kinda surprised that Devilpickle and Rajang didn't make it, but at least my favourite guys, Brachydios and Sa'fi, are here. Although I do miss my Pukei-Pukei, Dodogama and Inagami...

i just bought MH rise as my first proper MH game on the 20th anniversary sale on Steam. I'm literally as late as it gets to the party, but I'm glad to be here and having a blast. Seeing all these monsters for the first time here is so cool and looking forward to facing them in the future

Happy to see my personal top 3 made it, being Nargacuga, Zinogre, and Mizutsune in that order. And absolutely enjoy the rest of top 20 too. This series has so many cool monsters. A bit surprised that some made the top 20 twice by extension of variants and such, though I'm not complaining.

Its a shame that Ahtal-ka didn't do it to the top 10 i liked the mecha-godzilla mechanic of him

Zinogre, Nergigante and Lagiacrus are my top three monsters and they made the cut! Let's Go! ; D

love this franchise, monster hunter team always delivers

CG valstrax and normal valstrax should have been grouped together honestly, no reason not to, it's just that CG gave a lore reason to hunt valstrax.

I feel like a lot of us Valstrax voters felt conflicted between Crimson Glow and regular. Still though... I'm glad he is Nr4. But I bet if they combined him then he would have made top 3.

I started with mhw and I fell in love with Nergigante (I bought mhs2 for him) . Since he is a new entry I didnt expect him to even be on the list . What pleasant suprise !

One of the finest game franchises of all time! Thank you CAPCOM for 20 years of amazing experiences! If there's one wish I could ask it's to remake Portable 3rd with modern map design: one big seamless redesign of Misty Peaks would be a dream come true, as well as Deserted Isle.

Holy shit my Angy Spiky boy made top 10...Twice!!

Funny how terminal montage mamaged to get Abyssal Lagiacrus into Top 20

Where is my dear old nemesis, the myth, the legend, the true leviathan creature that send fear to every hunters bone when they hear his name. The Plesioth

Kudos to all of the winning monsties! Kinda disappointed that dalamadur didn't make the cut, but these are still loved equally!

Oh yeah! Gen 3 is still strong.

Seeing double lagi in top 20 is not surprising, but seeing double nergi in top 10 is surprising for me lol

zinogre is the monster that got me into the series, my love for the game is synonymous with him.

As someone who grew up in Portable 3rd, I feel so proud for my doggo.

For people asking where is rathalos, just because hes the games mascot doesnt mean hes peoples favorite.

They really need to create more variety of monsters such as the crabs, insects, and monkeys. Cuz with this list, they should just change the game into Wyvern Hunter😂

So happy to see my boy Lagiacrus in Top 3

Im so happy to see Lagiacrus get so much acknowledgement here even after having not been in a mainline game in about a decade

I can't believe my boy Nibelsnarf didn't make it out on top. 😢

This list is actually my Spotify playlist when I want to feel super pumped at work in no particular order. 😂

I'm so proud of how we made it this far, truly one of the best franchises to be a part of

What are the odds of ever getting a PC release for Generations Ultimate?

Now I want to know who was at the very bottom.

As a Nargacuga/Zinogre fan, seeing my bois getting both 7th and 1st place was an AWESOME surprise! Woohoo! :D Also, I would like them to make a new Nargacuga variant named *"Pitch Black Nargacuga"* with extremely dark fur and evil yellow eyes! :D

Never had any doubt the lightning doggo would place in top 10, but number one?! Nice!

Where is your mascot rathalos ?

Wholesome to see my favorite monsters take the two top spots! Though they should removed their variants to offer room for other monsters, same with Valstrax and Lagi.

Solid list, but bummed about the variants taking so many spots. Let's not forget Ceadeus, Steve, Gog, and the Seltas combo. 🫡 And praise be almighty Great Jaggi. 🙏

Where is... Where is my Powerhouse raging monke?

DODOGAMA, WHERE ARE YOU BOY????
