Monster Hunter Rise is, unsurprisingly, filled with all manner of monsters to fight. They range from massive, terrifying beats to small monsters that can be found in all areas of the game.
While it might seem like the main focus will be on the big monsters, farming the smaller monsters is just as important, as they drop important resources that you will need to craft weapons, armor, and items that will help you on hunts.
Below, you can find a full list of all the small monsters in the game, and which regions they will appear in. If you do not have access to a region yet, keep playing through the Village Quests until it becomes available.
For specifically farming certain items, it is a good idea to go on Expedition Tours rather than hunts. These will send you to an area without any quest to complete, allowing you to focus on farming the items you need. When you are done, you can leave via the menu instead of needing to waste time wrapping up a quest.
