For those diving into the wilds of *Monster Hunter Wilds*, mastering the art of hunting the Congalala is essential. This fanged beast, with its vibrant pink fur and distinctive crest, is a common sight in temperate forests. Known for its voracious appetite for mushrooms, the Congalala can unleash a variety of breath attacks that inflict conditions such as poison, blast, paralysis, and more. Here's everything you need to know to conquer this formidable creature.
**Known Habitats:** Forest, Wyveria

**Recommended Elemental Attack:** Fire, Ice

Facing the Congalala requires constant movement due to its size and agility. Avoid positioning yourself directly in front or behind the beast, as these are the prime spots for its potent breath attacks. The Congalala uses powerful hand smashes, tail whips, and ranged breath attacks. Focus on breaking its parts for increased damage, starting with the forelegs for the easiest hits.
For the head, tail, and rear, wait for the Congalala to consume a mushroom, which is visibly clear. After it spews gas from its front or rear, strike these parts if you're not caught in the attack. If you get doused by the fumes, use deodorant or roll through water to remove the effects. Utilize the wounds you cause by employing Focus Mode and Focus Strikes to deal heavy damage and halt the Congalala's attacks.
Capturing the Congalala requires lowering its health until the skull icon appears on the minimap. Follow the monster to its resting spot, set up a Shock or Pitfall Trap near it, and switch to Tranq Bombs. Lure the Congalala into the trap, and once it's caught, throw 2 to 3 Tranq Bombs to successfully capture it.
After defeating or capturing the Congalala, hunters can expect to receive the following rewards:
