All Egg Skills in Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection and how they work

Egg Skills are an important aspect of getting the perfect monstie in Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection, and it’s also one of the harder elements to master.

While Egg Skills are part of the genetic process of a monster, you don’t have much control over them. The skill your monstie gains will be completely random, and getting the perfect one could require you to hatch multiple eggs.

While the process is random, Egg Skills do matter if you want to master the Rite of Channeling. This guide will explain what each Egg Skill means and how they function in the game.

Your monstie gains an Egg Skill whenever they are born in an environment that leads to it gaining a second element. The Egg Skill, while being random, will always be aligned with the second element that led to them gaining the skill in the first place.

Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection has a fair number of monstie mutations to collect, and you can start your grind pretty early in the game.

In fact, all four regions in the world of Monster Hunter Stories 3 have monster mutations to collect. They’re strongly related to the concept of Invasive Monsters (more on that later). This guide will help you figure out how to get every mutated endangered species unlocked on your adventure.

How to get all monstie mutation variants in Monster Hunter Stories 3

Since you can find mutation variants in all four regions, I have used four tables. You’ll find all the detailed separated region-wise. The tables also include the mutations for all native species for regions where applicable.

Azuria

Variant	How to Get
Pink Rathian	To get the Pink Rathian mutation, you need to defeat the Yian Garuga and release the Rathian from the clutches of its Invasive predator.
Dreadqueen Rathian	First, you need the Rathian or Pink Rathian’s Ecoystem Rank to be S. Then, it should be in the same region that has three poison monsties. The region of Sunpetal Plains already has Gypceros, and you’ll get Rathian and Pink Rathian in the same region.
Ivory Lagiacrus	Get a regular Lagiacrus’ Ecosystem Rank to A in any region.
Boltreaver Astralos	Get Astalos’ Ecosystem Rank to S. It should also reside in thunder elemental areas that have three or more thunder elemental monsters. Only monsties with base thunder elements can qualify for this requirement.

Canalta Timbaland

Variant	How to Get
Green Nargacuga	Get Nargacuga’s Ecosystem Rank to A.
Silverwind Nargacuga	You have to get Nargacuga or Green Nargacuga’s Ecosystem Rank is S. You’ll also need it to reside in an area that has two or more monsters who can control the winds. Some examples include the Legiana, Great Izuchi, and Paolumu.
Soulseer Mizutsune	You need to get your Mizutsune’s Ecosystem Rank to S.
Deadeye Yian Garuga	Get the Yian Garuga’s Ecosystem Rank to S. The creature also needs to have three or more monsties that have equal or greater rank than the Yian Garuga (the Ecosystem Rank).

Tarkuan

Variant	How to Get
Stygian Zinogre	Get the Zinogre’s Ecosystem Rank to A.
Thunderlord Zinogre	Get the Zinogre or Stygian Zinogre’s Ecosystem Rank to S. You also need the monstie to reside in a habitat that has one or more endangered species with enchanting, purple fur and considered bitter rivals of the Zinogre. The Soulseer Mizutsune can qualify for this requirement.
Brute Tigrex	Get the Tigrex’s Ecosystem Rank to A.
Grimclaw Tigrex	You need to get Tigrex or Brute Tigrex’s Ecosystem Rank to S. The creature should reside in a habitat that has four or more Power Type monsters. Your best option is to choose the Colossal Dragon’s Remains area as there are two native Power type in this region.
Hellblade Glavenus	Get the Glavenus’ Ecosystem Rank to S. The monstie should reside in habitats with four or more monsties that have appendages, like the Shogun Ceanataur, Seregios, Great Izuchi, and Magnamalo.
Bloodbath Diablos	Get the Diablos or Black Diablos’ Ecosystem Rank to S. The creature must reside in its native habitat in Tarkuan’s Bountiful Dunes.

Seranthis

Variant	How to Get
Sand Barioth	Get the Barioth’s Ecosystem Rank to A.
Azure Rathalos	Get Rathalos’ Ecosystem Rank to A.
Dreadking Rathalos	You need to get Rathalos or Azure Rathalos’ Ecosystem Rank to S. The monstie must reside in habitats that have four or more Flying Wyverns. To meet the requirement, you can place creatures like the Barioth, the Sand Barioth, or the Nargacuga.

Of course, you’ll also need to find the eggs of Endangered species to get most of the mutations noted above. To do so, you have to repel different Invasive Species, which itself is a job easier said than done.
