A complete guide to the Endemic Life in Monster Hunter World. [Contains Spoilers]

There are other lists out there, but I have done my best to make this one the clearest, most concise and complete. I will update if I discover new creatures (rarer creatures are marked in bold.)

Terrestrial Life

• Shepherd Hare. Locale(s): The Ancient Forest & Wildspire Waste, multiple zones. The creature is like a long rabbit, brown with tan markings.

• Pilot Hare. Locale(s): The Ancient Forest & Wildspire Waste, multiple zones (anywhere you can find Shepherd Hares), better chances of finding it during sunny weather. (They do not despawn to my knowledge; unless spooked, so it is possible to find them at night) Look similar to the Shepherd Hare, only with a pink body and red tipped ears, tails.

• Moonlight Gekko. Locale(s) The Elders Recess, multiple zones, reliably found in Zone 8 by brightmoss patches. Easy to see because of its slight glow and bright coloured tail. can also supposedly be found in the Rotten Vale

• Forest Gekko. Locale(s): The Ancient Forest, multiple zones, commonly in and around the walls of caves. This creature is a small, green lizard and is hard to miss.

• Wildspire Gekko. Locale(s): The Wildspire Waste, multiple zones, commonly found crawling inside the cave systems. Easy to notice as they are bright yellow.

• Gloom Gekko. Locale(s): The Rotten Vale, multiple zones but most reliably found within zone 15, found crawling on the cave walls. This creature is a small lizard with two-tone colouration, a red body and a long purple tail.

• Vaporonid. Locale(s): The Ancient Forest & Wildspire Waste, multiple zones, most commonly found blocking off pathways with their enormous webs. They are usually in the centre of their web. This fairly large spider is black and yellow and is easily spotted.

• Scavantula. Locale(s): The Rotten Vale, multiple zones, commonly found around corpses and bone piles. Somewhat difficult to spot at first, as their dark colouration will camouflage them against the floor.

• Revolture. Locale(s) Almost Everywhere. This black bird is easiest to find in the Ancient Forest, Zone 1, as it will flock to any corpse there to scavenge.

• Blissbill. Locale(s) The Ancient Forest & Wildspire Waste, multiple zones, commonly found near water and plant life. This creature is very easy to spot, as it is a pink bird with a heart-shaped face. They will fly away if spooked.

• Downy Crake. Locale(s): The Ancient Forest, Wildspire Waste & Coral Highlands. Multiple Zones, almost always found on the back of other creatures (aptonoth, grandfather mantagrell, mosswines, etc etc etc). A big ball of fluff, easy to spot with binoculars, easily spooked though so use the ghillie mantle. Very rare.

• Bristly Crake. Locale(s): The Rotten Vale, multiple zones, most reliably found wherever mosswines are as it is found on their backs. Like its cousin, it appears to be a ball of fluff, only this one is extremely noticeable as it is black and looks like a ball of soot.

• Dung Beetle. Locale(s): The Wildspire Waste, multiple zones, anywhere there is dung. This creature can be found rolling piles of dung into balls, very easy to spot.

• Bomb Beetle. Locale(s): The Elders Recess, multiple zones. Like the dung beetle, only it rolls an explosive rock...

• Paratoad. Locale(s) Almost Everywhere, multiple zones, this creature is very easy to spot, as it is fairly large, bright yellow and stays in one similar spot until kicked.

• Sleeptoad. Locale(s) The Coral Highlands, multiple zones, this creature, like its cousin, is easy to locate because of its size and deep blue colour.

• Nitrotoad. Locale(s) The Elder's Recess, multiple zones, this creature, like its cousins before it, is fairly easy to find because of its size and red colouration.

• Wiggler. Locale(s) The Coral Highlands & Elder's Recess, multiple zones. Pops out of the ground and... wiggles. Easy to find, even with their subtle, pale colouration.

• Wiggler Queen. Locale(s) The Coral Highlands, multiple zones, found among other wigglers. This one is even easier to spot because of its orange colouration. However, they can only be found at night.

• Carrier Ant. Locale(s) The Ancient Forest, Wildspire Waste & Rotten Vale, multiple zones, can be difficult to spot anywhere but the Wildspire Waste, due to their dark colouration.

• Emperor Hopper. Locale(s) The Ancient Forest & Wildspire Waste, multiple zones, small but easy to notice when they are hopping. They tend to hop away when you get too close. Reliably found in Zone 1 of Wildspire Waste.

• Tyrant Hopper. Locale(s) The Rotten Vale, multiple zones. A bit easier to notice compared to their relatives, as they have a more reddish colouration, they will hop away when you get too close.

• Iron Helmcrab. Locale(s) The Wildspire Waste, multiple zones, commonly found on the muddy banks of the water. Easy to spot due to their size and lack of movement.

• Soldier Helmcrab. Locale(s) The Rotten Vale, multiple zones, commonly found near piles of bones. They are easy to spot due to their pale colour against the dark floors of the Rotten Vale.

• Emerald Helmcrab Locale(s) The Wildspire Waste & Rotten Vale, multiple zones, anywhere that the other Helmcrabs can be found. They stand out due to their green colouration. Supposedly easier to find in Wildspire Waste during rainy weather.

Aquatic Life (I will not be listing regular fish)

• Climbing Joyperch. Locale(s) The Ancient Forest & Wildspire Waste, multiple zones, usually near bodies of water, or in them. They are amphibious so they can go to land as well as water. Easy to spot when spooked as they move and wriggle violently.

• Andangler. Locale(s) The Coral Highlands, multiple zones, usually near bodies of water or within, as they are amphibians. Easy to spot due to their size. They will flee and light up when spooked.

• Hogpuppy. Locale(s) Almost Everywhere, multiple zones. Come in groups and dance on the surface of the water, creating lots of movement. Easy to spot if you watch the water.

• Petricanths. Locale(s) The Rotten Vale. Zone 15, in the left body of luminescent liquid, behind the stalagmites. (rising columns of stone from the floor of a cave) Easy to spot due to its large size and dark, speckled colouration, which make it stand out against the goldenfish that are typically there.

• Platinumfish. Locale(s) The Elder's Recess, multiple zones, reliably found in Zone 8 and 7. Looks like a goldenfish, with whiter scales. Fairly easy to spot, but can be irritating to find, due to spawns.

• King marlin. Locale(s) The Ancient Forest, Zone 4, in the ocean. Takes the spawn of the Gastronome Tuna, I believe, counts as a great fish, so catching it will take a bit of effort. It is extremely easy to spot due to its dorsal fin which sticks up from the water.

Airborne Life

• Cobalt Flutterfly. Locale(s) The Ancient Forest, multiple zones. Fly in groups of 3-5, easy to spot due to their bright blue colour.

• Phantom Flutterfly. Locale(s) The Ancient Forest, multiple zones, flies alone, much larger than its cousins. Do your best not to spook it.

• Omenfly. Locale(s) Almost Everywhere, multiple zones. Looks similar to a dragonfly, with a glowing tail (varies from green, to yellow to red, depending on wether monsters are nearby)

• Augerfly. Locale(s) Almost Everywhere, multiple zones. Looks similar to its cousin, only with a deeper blue body overall. The glowing tail remains and functions the same.

• Scalebat. Locale(s) Almost Everywhere, multiple zones, in the entrances/exits to caves. Small but not small enough to not notice, easy to catch, even when fleeing because of their large groups.

• Elegant Coralbird. Locale(s): The Coral Highlands, multiple zones, around the plant life. Easy to catch and spot. They look like pink hummingbirds, with long tail feathers.

• Dapper Coralbird. Locale(s): The Coral Highlands, multiple zones, anywhere where regular Coralbirds spawn. Looks almost identical at a glance, but it has a more purple colouration. Inspect groups of Coralbirds closely, so you don't miss it.

• Vigorwasp. Locale(s): Almost Everywhere, multiple zones, easy to spot, need I say any more?

• Giant Vigorwasp. Locale(s): Anywhere where a Vigorwasp spawns, takes one of their spawns. Can be difficult to obtain due to its rarity, however, it is most reliably found in the Ancient Forest.

• Flying Meduso. Locale(s): The Coral Highlands, multiple zones. Is extremely easy to find, as it is a blue, glowing, flying jellyfish.

• Flashfly. Locale(s): Almost Everywhere. Just use a capture net on one.

• Grandfather Mantagrell. Locale(s): The Coral Highlands, most easily caught in the room where the Troupers captain is. Use the slinger to shoot them down and then use the capture net. Very easy to spot, its a huge flying creature with multiple... "wings"?

Treetop Life

• Woodland Pteryx. Locale(s): The Ancient Forest, most reliably found in zone 6, flying from tree to tree.

• Forest Pteryx. Locale(s): The Ancient Forest, found where ever the other Pteryx are found. Has purple wings and red plumage, very easy to spot when it spawns.

• Hercudrome. Locale(s): The Ancient Forest, found on trees. Easy to see. Most reliably found on the path leading to zone 9 from camp 1.

• Gold Hercudrome. Locale(s): The Ancient Forest & Wildspire Waste, most reliably found in zone 5 on trees or logs. Supposedly easier to find at night.

• Prism Hercudrome. Locale(s): Almost Everywhere, multiple zones but most reliably found in Wildspire Waste, in zone 10 by the wedge beetles. Very easy to spot because of its pale, glass-like colouration.

Again, I have not listed regular fish because they are all extremely easy to find, however, I encourage that players fish regularly (or use the capture net when possible) because there are Great variants for most fish, which are in and of themselves, quite rare, even if they are just bigger versions of the other fish.
