What Is Endemic Life?
Creatures That Live In The Wild
Endemic Life, as the name suggests, refers to the creatures native to a particular area in the world. They will spawn in the wild and are not aggressive towards the player. They are, suffice to say, mostly harmless! Some of these creatures will be able to provide valuable benefits to you, usable as buffs or offensive battle items.

Endemic Life is only static in the field. Sometimes creatures will pop out when you attack batches of grass called Sending Sprigs. When you find this type of grass on the map, make sure to get closer to it and see if it has anything inside.
Permabuffer & Ensnaring Life Newly Added
In Monster Hunter Rise, new varieties of Endemic Life were added to the game, including Ensnaring, Buffer, and Hunting Helper variants. These will provide a wide range of benefits to you, including buffing you up or dealing direct damage to enemies.
Use Hunting Helpers As Items
Hunting Helper creatures can be used as items whenever you wish once caught. They provide many effects, including restoring your HP, attracting monsters, and more!
Ensnaring Life Helps You Catch Monsters
Ensnaring Life is often a trap that, once activated, can apply myriad effects on the player or monsters. For example, you can use it to efficiently deal damage to a lot of enemies, stun them, and more!
Caught In Nets Previously
In previous Monster Hunter Games (like Iceborne), it was posisble to catch endemic life in nets. It was also common to equip certain gear to make yourself less detectable when catching, to prevent creatures from running away.
Rare Endemic Life Also Existed
In addition to regular Endemic Life, rare variants also existed. They had a low chance of appearing whenever you met certain conditions, and were the requirement for getting certain trophies.
Possible To Keep Them As Pets
In previous games, if you caught Endemic Life it was possible to leave them in your own personal home as decorative elements. This was a fun way of customizing your home!
