Wyvern Riding, which replaces standard mounting as seen in World and Iceborn, has the hunter tangles the wyvern’s limbs in a material called Ironsilk. This move has you attach the blade to your wirebug and swing it around your body in an impressive AOE.Īnother thing the wirebugs can do, which took all of us by surprise when they showed it off, is allow for a new type of mounting called Wyvern Riding.

A little creature that seems like a mix of beetle and silkworm, it allows hunters to do insane things regarding aerial maneuverability. Don’t worry, cat lovers, Rise lets you take either a Palico, a Palamute, or both with you! Concept art of the starting armor for Palico and Palamute Wirebug: Little bug, whole lotta power! They take the role of a battle buddy, while Palico move to a more purely support role. The Palamute, trained for both riding and battle, will be invaluable as an ally and friend. What Rise has done, however, is debut an entirely new animal companion in addition to the Palico.

You can kit them out in custom armor and weapons to match really any scenario. Monster Hunter has always given you the Palico, a bipedal sapient cat that helps you out on your hunts. Rise features several entirely new items and entities that change the mechanics and strategy of the game. Heck, the demo itself was so hyped up it broke the Nintendo Eshop when it launched.
