New Monsters
Inuros is a new Fanged Beast that first appears in 2* quests. It bears much resemblance to Arzuros, as both monsters are large bears. It was titled "The Descendant of Royals" as lords used to keep them as wild pets.

Denerithion is a Brute Wyvern that inhabits the Verdant Forest area. It first appears in a 2* quests to collect Wyvern Eggs that contain its young, Denith. It attacks by attempting to crush hunters under its bodyweight by jumping.

Forlorgros is the Fanged Wyvern flagship monster of Monster Hunter U. It attack by charging and ramming its prey with its head, the two tips on its skull often paralyzing its opponent. It first appears in the game tutorial, when you and a friendly hunter attempt to escape from it.

Crustolis and Crustol are the large and small Carapaceon monsters that inhabit the Jungle. They attack in a similar way to previous Carapaceons, but can produce a powerful electric static beam that causes the magnetized status. They wear the skulls on Yian Garuga as shells.

Ostride are a species of Bird Wyvern that are similar to the Terror Birds or primeval times. They are led by large Alpha Ostride, and inhabit the Verdant Forest, Dune Mountains, Sleeted Caves and Volcanic Crest areas.

Zihurios is a very large Elder Dragon bearing relation to Lao Shang-Lung. It slowly passes through an area called the Hero's Valley before advancing on Hakoru Village, where Dragonators and the new Wyvernfire Cannon can be used to repel or slay it.

Harlamsharok is an extremely powerful Flying Wyvern that inhabits the Sleeted Caves. It uses terrifying ice element attacks to maim hunters, with strong beams and breath. It is only available to hunt in High-Rank.

Wyvernrex is a previously thought extinct monster that is the ancestor of all Flying Wyverns, and the missing link between Pseudowyverns and true Flying Wyverns. It attacks in a frenzied style similar to Tigrex.

Un-named Elder Dragon uses harsh wind attacks similar to Kushala Daora. It appears to fight in its own unique area.

Weapon Type Additions and Changes
The Whip may issue both Cutting and Impact damage depending on the attack, the quick slashes causing Cutting damage and the flicks of the wrist after ending a combo causes Impact damage (K.O if struck on head).
 * The new Whip weapon type is a swift weapon with similarities to the Long Sword and Sword and Shield. Attack is clumsy at first, but each combo attack builds up the Finesse Gauge, which makes attacks more fluent and powerful. A special Finesse Combo may be used when the Gauge is full (indicated by a glowing purple border around it).
 * The Sword and Shield owns a new forward stab attack, by blocking and pressing both X and A.
 * The Great Sword can now perform two upswing attacks in succession, by pressing X and A twice. Also, the block may now be chained into a roundslash.
 * The Dual Blades have instant access to a second level of Demon Mode by holding R when activating.
 * The Long Sword gains the reverse combo end attack from Monster Hunter Online, performed by pressing X and A at the same time twice. A new upwards slash can also be issued at the end of a Spirit Combo by pressing A. This can further be chained into the combo end attacks.
 * The Hammer may now chain the superpound into a golf swing by pressing X afterwards.
 * The Hunting Horn may chain the first song attack into a stab, then back into the second song.
 * The Lance can now perform the block advance with a U-turn movement.
 * The Gunlance gains a new attack where after a shotgun attack, by pressing A, then X then X and A causes the hunter to quick reload, slash left, then fire a Wyvernfire forwards.
 * The Switch Axe can now chain the discharge attack burst into an overhead swing. A new attack by pressing both X and A after an overhead swing.
 * The Insect Staff can now pole vault onto, and off a monster by pressing A twice while mounting a monster.
 * The Charge Axe gains a new attack in Axe Mode, where after performing the final hit, by pressing and holding X and A overcharges the Charge Axe and causes it to be swung in a similar style to the Hammer's superpound. The amount of time holding X and A and overcharging depends on the amount of vials released (the more expended, the more vial effect and damage distributed). A new vial type called "Sap Vial" absorbs an affect from the monster depending on where the hit lands. These can include attack and defense bonuses to even adding an additional element or ailment.
 * The Broadsword from Monster Hunter Realms returns, but with no new changes.
 * Both Bowguns and the Bow have no changes.

Other Differences From Past Games

 * No underwater combat, so Lagiacrus and Ivory Lagiacrus are only fought on land.
 * Attacking in mid-air and mounting return from Monster Hunter 4 and 4 Ultimate.
