Dareel’s Special Research Report Side Mission in Monster Hunter Wilds will take players on a quest to find and capture the elusive Gillopod Endemic Life. This is a special type of Pillopod with a larger body and prominent, expanded energy circulation system. Basically, it’s a weird little slimy bug thing that sticks to walls in the Ruins of Wyveria.
In this guide, we’ll show you exactly where to find a Gillopod in MH Wilds (and the rewards for doing so!)

Gillopod Location in Monster Hunter Wilds
Creepy Crawlies
We managed to find a Gillopod in the Ruins of Wyveria, specifically on a wall south of Area 8 and west of Area 9 on the third level of the biome. You can see the exact spot in the picture above.
The wall in question can be seen on the right-hand side of the path if you’re coming south from the ‘8’ marked on the map. You’ll see these pale-colored creatures crawling along the wall. You might also see some Pillopods, which look very similar to the Gillopod.
Bust out your capture net by holding L1/LB and scrolling through your item bar until you see it. Aim the Slinger with L2/LT, then fire the net with R2/RT.
Once the creature has been caught, you can report back to Dareel at Windward Plains to claim your reward.
