Most fans of Monster Hunter are familiar with the thrill of hunting monsters, but capturing them plays a crucial role as well. In Monster Hunter Wilds, players have stumbled upon a charming and amusing interaction by lingering after a capture.

As showcased by Reddit user RDGtheGreat on the r/MonsterHunter subreddit, sticking around after capturing a monster can reveal a delightful behind-the-scenes moment. Specifically, the captured monster eventually gets up and wanders off.

After capturing a Nu Udra and patiently waiting, the massive cephalopod casually rises and departs. This has led to amusing comparisons to a film set wrapping up, adding a lighthearted touch to the game.

In terms of in-game lore, it makes sense that the research team doesn't use giant cages. Monster Hunter Wilds seems to embrace a catch-and-release method, which aligns well with the ethos of Alma and the team throughout the narrative.

This quirky interaction is a testament to Capcom's attention to detail. Instead of a simple fade-out, they've included a unique animation where the monster, despite missing several limbs, scurries away. It's a humorous yet insightful 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 enhancements are still in the pipeline, the game currently holds a 'mixed' rating on Steam.
