Face-to-Face with the Nergigante

Though you can't make it a Monstie, it's a formidable foe to battle against.
Navirou apparently shares a deep connection with Nergigante.
Find out more by playing the side story for yourself.

In addition, after completing Rudy's side story, players who have unlocked Royal Monsters can test their skills against a Royal Nergigante!
Nergigante can be battled as many times as you like.

Navirou

A Felyne with an unusual face, he has a sunny disposition and loves adventure.
Rudy's family have passed down a tale of Navirou saving the world, alongside a Rider and their Rathalos.
After getting caught up in one of the strange happenings around the world, Navirou ends up coming face to face with his young descendant.

Nergigante

A terrible Elder Dragon rumored to appear when others of its stature are in the vicinity.
Their reckless abandon, violent disposition, and destructive tendencies are all quite well documented.
The dark, rugged spikes covering its body can be swiftly regrown if broken.
The regrown spikes are initially lighter and more easy to destroy, but they will harden and darken over time, becoming more and more difficult to break.
