Most players of Monster Hunter associate the game with the thrill of hunting down fearsome creatures, but capturing monsters is an equally vital aspect of the gameplay. In Monster Hunter Wilds, players have stumbled upon an amusing interaction that unfolds when they capture a monster and stick around to observe.
As highlighted by Reddit user RDGtheGreat on the r/MonsterHunter subreddit, lingering after capturing a monster reveals a charming bit of behind-the-scenes magic. Specifically, the captured creature simply gets up and wanders off after a short nap.

After capturing a Nu Udra and waiting patiently, players watched in amusement as the giant cephalopod casually rose and departed. The scene has drawn humorous comparisons to the end of a film shoot, adding a light-hearted touch to the game.
For those curious about the in-game rationale behind this behavior, it's worth noting that the research team in Monster Hunter Wilds doesn't use giant cages. The game's adoption of a catch-and-release methodology aligns well with the ethos of Alma and the team throughout the storyline.
This quirky moment not only brings a smile to players' faces but also showcases the attention to detail from the developers at Capcom. Instead of opting for a simple fade-out, they crafted a specific animation where the monster, despite missing several limbs and appendages, scurries off into the distance. This detail adds a layer of depth to the research practices of Alma and her crew, enriching the game's narrative.
Patch 1.000.05.00 has recently been released for Monster Hunter Wilds, addressing some quest progression issues and fixing bugs. Although performance enhancements are still in the pipeline, the game currently holds a 'mixed' rating on Steam.
