Size



Size is the term used to dictate how big or small a monster is. The new size scale was first incorporated into Monster Hunter Freedom, where, in the hunter's card, shows the smallest and largest size of all the monsters they defeated. If they are of great size, a small crown will be placed next to the name of the monster in the hunter's card; depending on its size, largest monsters will receive gold crowns, while large monsters will receive silver crowns.

Subspecies are not included in this list. Some monsters vary in size from quest to quest. This list goes according to the sizes most frequently observed.

Trivia

 * It is interesting to note that monsters appear considerably larger in Monster Hunter Frontier than in any other game.
 * The Lao Shan in game is said to be a baby, the adults are considered to be if not, taller than the mountains, the true size of an adult most likely will never be seen.
 * A fully grown lao shan would most likely have a class all to it's own above raviente.
