Monster Hunter Rise Magnamalo Concept Art Shows It Acting Like a Cat

Capcom often shares art of monsters from Monster Hunter games. These show in-progress designs and offer ideas of how characters came about. The latest looks at a flagship monster’s inspirations. Ahead of the Monster Hunter Rise PC debut, new Magnamalo concept art shows how some of its behaviors are inspired by those of a house cat.

The first three images of Magnamalo are fairly standard designs that resemble the final version of the monster. There’s a focus on its armored exterior and face. Each one is a more set pose. The character appears to be stalking in some of them. The tiger-like characteristics of the wyvern are fairly clear.

It is the fourth image that gets a bit more whimsical. Rather than make Magnamalo look as it does in Monster Hunter Rise, it makes the monster look more like a tiger or cat. It shows it stretching out its paws, so people could see the pads underneath. There are designs showing it attacking and playing with a toy mouse. It even shows it attempting to look intimidating.
