The 20th place entry revealed right away is Crimson Glow Valstrax.
This is a variant of Valstrax that first appeared in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak.
The sight of it attacking while roaring with a jet engine-like sound that is far from monster-like is a masterpiece.
Along with its battle BGM, it is one of the popular monsters, but it surprisingly ended up in 20th place.
The original species Valstrax might be even higher in the rankings.
What rank did your favorite monster reach?
Rankings from 20th to 11th will be announced as needed on the Monster Hunter 20th Anniversary official X account (@MH20th), and the 10th to 1st places along with the full rankings of all 229 monsters will be announced within the Monster Hunter 20th Anniversary Special Program!! Supported by Universal Studios Japan.
