Monster Hunter Wilds isn’t only about the bigger creatures that roam the lands, as the Endemic Life you come across will have different uses.
These are relatively smaller creatures that can be found in different habitats. They don’t usually bother you much unless you choose to attack them. Some of these creatures also drop ingredients, which can be used to craft different items.
This guide will help you locate these creatures during your exploration.
How to find Endemic Life in Monster Hunter Wilds
Unlike the bigger monsters, Endemic Life usually doesn’t have specific habitat locations. They can be found widely in the larger regions, but you’ll need to be in the correct biomes.

Apart from using them for ingredients, you can also trap them using different traps (in the case of fish, you’ll have to use the Fishing Rod). Doing so will allow you to get some really important items that are core parts of different crafting techniques.
