Summary
- Monster Hunter Wilds lacks large monsters, leaving room for additions.
- Gammoth & Zamtrios won’t fit in Iceshard Cliffs, disappointing players.
- Players seek new icy area for monsters that don’t fit current maps. (63 characters)
Monster Hunter Wilds has the smallest array of large monsters in modern Monster Hunter titles. On one hand, it’s a shame that there’s seemingly a lack of content at launch. On the other hand, it leaves plenty of scope for Capcom to add series favorites at a later date.
The Bazelgeuse is one monster players are desperate for the return of, and there are dozens more that have come up in discussions.

It’s an interesting combination if ever we saw one.
But the longer the game has been out, the more of a realization players face that some of the series’ best monsters just won’t fit in Monster Hunter Wilds’ smaller maps.
The Gammoth And Zamtrios Probably Won’t Fit In The Iceshard Cliffs, And Players Are Sad
Over on the Monster Hunter subreddit, players have been yearning for the return of the Gammoth, a monster whose only appearance has come in Monster Hunter Generations/Generations Ultimate.
One of the largest Fanged Beasts in series history, the Gammoth is a huge, female wooly mammoth-esque monster capable of whipping up icy vortexes. Having not appeared for so long, Wilds’ players were hoping that the creature would make a return this time around. However, they have slowly come to the realization that the only suitable map, Iceshard Cliffs, is probably too small for it.
Given the size of the Gammoth, and the narrow pathways the Iceshard Cliffs is comprised of, it’s unlikely it will fit on the map. This has drawn disappointment from the community.
“Yeah, it sucks; Gore Magala already feels awful fighting there due to the cramped space and fighting the camera; I think they dropped the ball with this region tbh, should have had some snowy plains sections,” Ritushido said.

After accepting that the Gammoth wouldn’t be suitable for the Iceshard Cliffs, the discussion moved onto another underutilized monster, the Zamtrios.
The Zamtrios is what you’d get if a shark, a narwhal, and a dragon had a baby. It’s another monster that thrives in icy environments and also another monster that hasn’t appeared since Generations Ultimate. Unsurprisingly, players want it back. Unfortunately, they feel it will have the same problems as the Gammoth.
Replying to the original post, TheTimorie spoke for everybody when they said, “To make it worse, Zamtrios doesn’t fit there either…”
It’s time for Capcom to introduce a new giant ice area in a future update.
