Most people associate Monster Hunter with the thrill of hunting monsters, but capturing them is equally significant. In Monster Hunter Wilds, players have stumbled upon a delightful interaction that unfolds when they capture a monster and linger nearby.

As shared by Reddit user RDGtheGreat on the r/MonsterHunter subreddit, staying near a captured monster long enough reveals a charming behind-the-scenes moment. The monster, after being captured, simply gets up and leaves, creating a humorous scene reminiscent of a film set wrapping up. After capturing a Nu Udra and waiting, the giant cephalopod casually rises and departs, sparking playful comments about the cinematic nature of the game.

For those curious about the in-game lore behind this phenomenon, it's worth noting that the research team in Monster Hunter Wilds doesn't use giant cages. Instead, they adopt a catch-and-release approach, which aligns well with the ethos of Alma and the team throughout the story.

This amusing interaction is a testament to Capcom's attention to detail. Rather than simply fading out, the developers have crafted a specific animation for this scenario. It's amusing to see a monster, now missing several limbs and appendages, scurrying off into the distance. This small touch not only adds humor but also offers a glimpse into how Alma and her crew conduct their research.

Patch 1.000.05.00 has recently been released for Monster Hunter Wilds, addressing quest progression issues and fixing bugs. While performance improvements are still in the pipeline, the game currently holds a 'mixed' rating on Steam.
