Capcom has been showing off new monsters inMonster Hunter Risesince its announcement back in September. Some have been confirmed via specialized introductions in trailers, while some could be spotted in the general gameplay footage used. Now, however, it looks like a screenshot of the quest list inMonster Hunter Risehas revealed the return of Barroth.
The Japanese website Inside posted several screenshots showing its hunt with the newRisemonster, Bishaten. In the series of screenshots was the quest posting for the Bishaten hunt. Several other quests were visible in this screenshot, including a quest that has Barroth’s Japanese name, Boruborosu. The quest itself is the fourth quest from the top. This would also coincide with anearlier leak that included Barroth.

Barroth was first introduced into theMonster Hunterseries in its third generation withMonster Hunter Tri, and has been seen several times since. It also has an ice variant, the Jade Barroth, but that particular subspecies has shown up far less frequently than its standard counterpart, withMonster Hunter 3 Ultimatebeing the only main series game it appeared in outside of Japan. It did, however, make an appearancein the spin-offMonster Hunter Stories.
The standard Barroth was last seen inMonster Hunter World: Icebornethough, so anyone who jumped on board with the series withMonster Hunter Worldwill be familiar with this monster. With just seeing the name on the quest board, it is of course unclear how Barroth will behave inMonster Hunter Riseor what areas of the game it will be found in.
Given that Barroth appeared in the Wildspire Wastes inMonster Hunter: World, it is probably a safe bet that Barroth will appear in therecently revealed Sandy Plainsarea inRise. Barroth will join Jyuratodus and newcomer Almudron as monsters that can slow hunters down by slinging mud across the battlefield.
