New Mod Transforms Monster Hunter Wilds Creatures into Hairless Cats, Sparking Concerns Over “Suspicious Files” Due to Its Uncanny Nature

If you’ve been strutting around Monster Hunter Wilds as a bare-chested hero, thanks to the creativity of modders, I’ve got some buzzworthy news for you. It seems that modders have decided to turn their attention to the game’s unlucky monsters, stripping them down to almost as much skin as your character. It’s intriguing, but let’s be honest, it’s a bit of a cursed sight.

Yes, that’s right—those who adore the sight of hairless Pokémon and those unique sphinx cats are now eyeing the beasts of Monster Hunter. Poor creatures might catch a chill! So, before you start tinkering around with nature, keep the potential consequences in mind.

The mod causing all this chatter is called ‘Featherless Monsters’ by a creator named Aziaron. True to its name, it takes away the fur and feathers from several monsters, pushing boundaries further by including even the bushy ones.

Aziaron has, for lack of a better description, experimented on a variety of creatures, big and small. From Blangongas to Gore Magalas, to the illustrious Guardian Arkveld, and even Comaqchi, Rafma, and Guardian Seikret—none have been spared from this hair-removal spree. On the bright side, the Doshaguma have kept their majestic manes, and the Congalala still proudly sport their cute little hair tufts. Small victories, right?

For those of you who dabble in Monster Hunter mods, you’ll need something called REFramework to enjoy these oddly entertaining creatures, if skin-deep monsters appeal to you. However, a word of caution: Nexus Mods has flagged this particular mod with some “suspicious files,” raising a few eyebrows. Even the automatic virus scanners seem to have a sense of humor about the curse levels here.

Jokes aside, it’s possible that the raised flags could be due to a simple formatting mishap on Aziaron’s part during the initial upload. Yet, when it comes to downloading anything that raises a red flag, it’s always wise to err on the side of caution. If you’re one of those intriguing individuals who owns a very unique-looking hairless pet, perhaps you’re the target audience for this mod. You might find the images on the mod page quite amusing and get your hairless monster fix that way.
