I saw a similar post and wanted to weigh in on it because speculation is fun. Obviously a lot of these are there because I can't put conceptual original designs on here, obviously I'd prefer if they added proportionally more original designs, however if I'm being fully honest some of these are non negotiable because I like them so much. For example:

\- Goss Harag, when I first played Rise he was one of the standout fights and he just fits so WELL into Wilds with his design. I just love him, one of the best monsters Rise added and there's so much they could do. Have a reclusive Forest variant that uses shaped weapons made from trees like Benkei the warrior monk, a Plains subspecies that uses fulgurite blades, etc.

\- Quite frankly I don't want Rajang or Jho in another installment. They, like Zinogre, seriously need some time off because YES I do like them, but if I seriously had to pick an invader (just one, we don't need an Iceborne repeat where everyone's an invader), I would have Bazelgeuse. Really give him a chance to be fleshed out too, I wanna see him have a sumo match with Uth Duna.

\- Yeah yeah I get the people wailing in agony for Gammoth and other monsters that get neglected, but if I had to pick, I'd want Nibelsnarf, Najarala, Duramboros, Monoblos, Agnaktor and Gigginox. They all fit really well into their specific environments and don't have major niche clashes with other current species, aside from maybe Balahara with all of the plains returners because uh, burrowing sand monster is a very common trope. Maybe put Beotodus in the Basin and have him be the resident tarfish.

\- On that last note, I changed my mind, Oilwell Gobul Variant living in the subterrane. That would be fucking dope.

\- NAMIELLEEEEE NAMIELLEEE ADD THE FUCKING JELLYFISH DRAGON I DONT WANT A MILLION WORLD REPEATS BUT PLEASE CAPCOM ADD HER

\- Disregarding that part I really want them to go light on elders, and make their impact MEAN something. For that purpose Amatsu would do wonders, as it fits the whole theme of the apexes representing a different type of storm (Nu Udra doesn't *exactly* fit in this theme but uhh oilspills volcanic eruptions smth smth). I also think it's a top three elder dragon alongside Shara and Gog.

\- I think the apexes (we need a name for them, the Storm Quartet? Forbidden Four?) all should get variants or subspecies, they're too amazing of a set of designs to waste the chance on. I've been toying specifically with the idea of a Rey Dau subspecies that channels the blizzards of the Iceshard Cliffs and/or uses some vibrational/sonic trickery to heat itself up or something of the like, they're a set of already very weird designs and I hope they continue the pattern. The only one I wouldn't know what to do with would be Uth Duna, there's only so much you can do with being really fat and weighty. Maybe an avalanche-instigating kinda thing or something? Or shit that would work really well with Rey Dau's loud-ass weird cries.
