MH Stories 3 Demo: How to Get All Monsties in Trial Version

Starter Monsties in the MH Stories 3 Demo

Every player receives three starter monsties in the MH Stories 3 demo: Ratha (Rathalos), Tobi-Kadachi, and Yian Kut-Ku. Ratha is your flagship Fire monstie with Power attacks—essential for the story. Tobi-Kadachi provides Thunder and Speed coverage. Yian Kut-Ku adds Fire and Speed. Together they cover two attack types; you will want a Technical monstie to complete the triangle.

These MH Stories 3 demo starters are guaranteed and carry over to the full game. Ratha remains a strong choice throughout the story. Tobi-Kadachi and Yian Kut-Ku are serviceable early-game options; you can replace them with dens finds if you prefer.

Hatchable MH Stories 3 Demo Monsties from Dens

In Sunpetal Plains, you can hatch eggs from monster dens to obtain additional MH Stories 3 demo monsties. Common dens (grey rock) yield: Pukei-Pukei, Velocidrome, Arzuros, Lagombi, Aptonoth, Barroth, Qurupeco, Bishaten, and Tetsucabra. Each has distinct elements and attack types. Pukei-Pukei, Bishaten, and Qurupeco are Technical; Barroth and Tetsucabra are Power; Velocidrome, Lagombi, and Arzuros cover Speed.

Pukei-Pukei is a strong Technical pickup—Non-Elemental with good utility. Barroth provides Water and Power. Bishaten adds Technical coverage. Check our eggs guide for egg patterns so you can identify which monster is inside before hatching.

Rare MH Stories 3 Demo Monsties: Deviljho and Yian Garuga

The MH Stories 3 demo includes two rare monsties. Deviljho appears only in Gold Monster Dens—very rare spawns in Sunpetal Plains. It is a Dragon-element Power monstie, Rank 6, and far stronger than anything else in the demo. Our Deviljho guide covers the full strategy for finding it.

Yian Garuga appears in rare Green retreat dens. It is a Fire and Speed monstie, Rank 5, and a solid alternative to Yian Kut-Ku. Both Deviljho and Yian Garuga are worth keeping for the full game transfer—they remain powerful in the early and mid-game.

Level Cap and Storage in the MH Stories 3 Demo

The MH Stories 3 demo caps all monsties at level 10. This means you cannot over-level to trivialize content—every monster stays roughly equal in power. The 15 monstie limit forces you to choose. Keep eggs you plan to hatch; release or avoid monsties you will not use. Prioritize type coverage: one Power, one Speed, one Technical minimum.

If you find Deviljho, it is worth a slot—it is the strongest MH Stories 3 demo monstie. Yian Garuga is another keeper. Ratha, Tobi-Kadachi, and Yian Kut-Ku are fixed. That leaves about 10 slots for eggs and den finds. Plan your roster before hunting.

Best Team Composition from MH Stories 3 Demo Monsties

For the best MH Stories 3 demo team, prioritize: Ratha (Fire, Power), Tobi-Kadachi (Thunder, Speed), and Pukei-Pukei or Bishaten (Technical). Add Deviljho if you find it—Dragon and Power coverage is invaluable. Barroth provides Water and Power. Yian Garuga can replace Yian Kut-Ku for a stronger Fire/Speed option.

With only 15 slots, you cannot keep everything. Focus on monsties that transfer well: Deviljho, Yian Garuga, Barroth, Pukei-Pukei, and Bishaten all carry over and remain useful. See our monsties database for full stats and our best early monsties guide for full-game recommendations.

Which MH Stories 3 Demo Monsties Are Worth Keeping

When transferring from the MH Stories 3 demo to the full game, your monsties carry over. Deviljho is the top priority—it is rare in the demo and remains powerful in Canalta Timberland. Yian Garuga is a strong Fire/Speed option. Barroth provides early Water coverage. Pukei-Pukei and Bishaten offer Technical coverage that complements Ratha and Tobi-Kadachi.

Velocidrome, Arzuros, Lagombi, Aptonoth, and Qurupeco are easier to find in the full game. Tetsucabra is a decent Power option. Prioritize the rare MH Stories 3 demo monsties: Deviljho and Yian Garuga. For more, read our MH Stories 3 demo guide and Deviljho hunting guide.
