Trivia

  • The warden is the only monster (that spawns naturally) that does not count towards the Monster Hunter advancement or Monsters Hunted challenge.
    • The reason for this is because the warden is not intended to be slain, and is instead meant to be evaded.
  • Polar bears were once classified as monsters valid for advancements. This property was removed in snapshot 19w14a.
  • Striders are internally referred to as monsters,[2] however this does not affect gameplay, as the strider does not share the same traits as actual in-game monsters, being considered an animal instead.
