Monster Hunter Wilds Players Discover Captured Monsters Will Eventually Just Exit Stage Left

While many associate *Monster Hunter* with the thrill of the hunt, capturing monsters is a crucial aspect of the game, offering unique rewards and unexpected moments. *Monster Hunter Wilds* players have recently discovered a humorous quirk: captured monsters don't just disappear; they actually get up and leave after a short while!

As Reddit user RDGtheGreat shared on r/MonsterHunter, patiently observing a captured Nu Udra reveals a surprising animation. After a brief "nap," the giant cephalopod simply rises and ambles away. This unexpected sight has sparked amusement, with many comparing it to a film wrap-up scene.

Fun fact: captured monsters just get up and leave within a minute of napping

While in-game explanations for this behavior remain speculative (the research team doesn't exactly have giant cages!), it aligns with the game's more catch-and-release approach to monster studies, reflecting Alma's and the team's overall attitude. Regardless of lore implications, it's a charming detail. Capcom's inclusion of this animation, instead of a simple fade-out, adds a playful touch. The sight of a multi-limbed monster, now slightly worse for wear, waddling away is undeniably funny, but also subtly hints at the research methods employed by Alma and her crew.
