While many associate *Monster Hunter* with the thrill of the hunt, capturing monsters is a crucial element, often leading to unexpected and humorous results. *Monster Hunter Wilds* players have stumbled upon a particularly amusing quirk: captured monsters don't simply vanish; they get up and leave after a short while!
As Reddit user RDGtheGreat shared on r/MonsterHunter, patiently waiting near a captured monster reveals a charming behind-the-scenes moment. The monster, after a brief "nap," simply rises and ambles away. This has prompted many humorous comparisons to a film wrap, adding a lighthearted touch to the gameplay.

While in-universe explanations remain speculative (the research team doesn't exactly have giant cages), *Monster Hunter Wilds*' catch-and-release approach aligns perfectly with Alma's and the team's overall approach to their research, adding a layer of realism to the game's narrative.
Regardless of lore implications, this detail is a delightful surprise. Capcom's decision to animate this scenario instead of using a simple fade-out is commendable. The sight of a partially dismembered monster scurrying away is undeniably funny, yet it subtly enhances the understanding of the research team's methods.
Patch 1.000.05.00 for *Monster Hunter Wilds* has recently launched, addressing several quest progression issues and bugs. While performance optimizations are still underway, resulting in a "Mixed" Steam rating, the game continues to receive updates.
