Community reactions what the comments are saying · updated 01/08/2026

This week in the comments

A quiet week (13 comments) where the community moves past the announcement to dream about future updates: far from reveal-day euphoria, the tone is calm and forward-looking on monsters.

The hunt for future monsters continues

About 70% of this week's comments pitch monster comebacks for future updates (Nergigante, Glavenus, Tetsucabra, Gamoth…), continuing the guessing game running since June.

Plesioth wants his redemption arc

New this week: fans imagine Shadow of the Colossus-style giant battles and plead for a redemption arc for Plesioth, the series' historically unloved monster.

« Personally, my dream: a new elephant-type tusked beast, redemption for Plesioth, and giant fights styled after Shadow of the Colossus. »

A fan corrects the video… and calls for Rukodiora

A detailed comment corrects several lore errors (Magma Tigrex, Hypnoc) and pushes for the return of Rukodiora and its Magnet Spike — an original pick unique to this week.

« To answer your question: which monster should come back? Rukodiora, the magnetic dragon — it would let them bring back the magnet spike. »
