Teostra Returns to Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance

During the latest Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance trailer, it was revealed that the Elder Dragon Teostra would be making a return in the upcoming expansion.

Known as the "Emperor of Flame," Teostra is a fire-based Elder Dragon that controls intense fire and scatters explosive blast powder from its scales. Its signature move, the Supernova, is infamous for dealing massive damage, as Teostra unleashes a massive explosion after flying into the air.

Attendees of the Tokyo Games Show 2026 will be able to take on Teostra in the official Monster Hunter Wilds booth. According to Capcom, Teostra is a quest best suited for seasoned hunters. Players will be able to take on the elder dragon with friends when the expansion drops.
