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 often overlooked. *Monster Hunter Wilds* players have stumbled upon a humorous quirk: captured monsters don't simply vanish; they get up and leave!

As Reddit user RDGtheGreat showcased on r/MonsterHunter, patiently waiting near a captured monster reveals a surprisingly animated departure. The giant cephalopod, Nu Udra, for example, simply rises and ambles away, prompting playful comparisons to a film wrap-up.

While in-universe explanations are scarce (the research team doesn't exactly have giant monster cages), *Monster Hunter Wilds*' catch-and-release approach aligns perfectly with Alma and the team's overall attitude. This playful detail, a small animation instead of a fade-out, adds a charming touch. The sight of a multi-limbed monster, slightly worse for wear, scurrying away is undeniably funny, yet subtly enhances the understanding of Alma's research methods.
