What is the biggest monster in Monster Hunter?

The determination of the biggest monster in the Monster Hunter series can be approached from two different perspectives: length and volume.

Length

When considering length, the largest monster is Laviente, which appears in Monster Hunter Frontier. It measures approximately 1476.37 feet in length, making it the longest monster in the series12.

Volume and Overall Size

However, if we consider the volume and overall size of the monsters, Zorah Magdaros and the ancestor of Dalamadur come into play.

• Zorah Magdaros, despite being shorter in length (845.29 feet), has a significantly larger volume due to its massive, turtle-like body. It is estimated to have a volume roughly 10 times that of Laviente and Dalamadur when considering just their bodies2.

• The ancestor of Dalamadur, which is believed to be the source of the landscape in the Rotten Vale, is estimated to be even larger. It is approximately 2,642 meters long and has a volume more than 20 times that of Zorah Magdaros, making it the largest monster in terms of volume2.

Therefore, while Laviente is the longest, the ancestor of Dalamadur is considered the biggest monster in the Monster Hunter universe when evaluating overall size and volume.
