* StoryDrivenInvulnerability: You can encounter the flagship monster of the game, the Lagiacrus, during a mission in the first tier of the game in which most missions consist of gathering materials. Naturally, at this point in the game, even if you have all the best armour and weapons you can have at your level, the Lagiacrus is [[HopelessBossFight more than capable of taking you out in one or two hits]], plus it can't actually die no matter how much you attack it, making retreat the only option. You eventually face it in a HeroicRematch in the fifth tier of offline missions, but even when you replay this mission with the best armour and weapons in the game it's impossible to actually kill the Lagiacrus in the time alotted to complete the mission; you can get it to limp, but that's close as you'll get.

* SoftWater: The game treats water in this fashion when transferring from one zone to another; you're never knocked into the air enough to actually go into water. Even if a Rathian knocks you off a cliff, you have time in the zone change to adjust your trajectory so you don't break your back. Also, regardless of the height, you fell from, if you fall into water while carrying a wyvern egg, you always get the "egg sinks to the bottom" animation you get when you lose an egg by entering water, not the "egg shatters" animation you get from falling from a height.

** In the original Wii game, as soon as you hit rank 31 and the High Rank quests become available, you start fighting the monsters from the bottom of the pecking order: Great Jaggi, Qurupeco, and Royal Ludroth. Except that in any high-rank quest, there's the possibility that Deviljho will appear, which you're nominally not qualified to fight until rank 51. Thus when you initially encounter Deviljho, you have to run like hell if you want to live, and hope that either Jho or the monster you're tracking retreats from the room, but then you have to take down Jho like any other later on.
** In ''3 Ultimate'' ([=3DS=] and Wii U), the same thing happens when you start the sixth rank chapter (which corresponds to high rank). One of the first quests requires you to kill 10 Jaggia, but with the twist that Deviljho will lurk around (and it's even introduced in a cutscene where it crushes Great Jaggi from above). And you'll have to avoid it once again during any quest where it might appear, until you're tasked to hunt it in one of the post-finale quests in the ninth rank chapter.

* HavingABlast: This expansion introduces Blast (known here as Slime), an element that accumulates on a monster every time an attack connects until it reaches a certain threshold, like most "ailment" type elements. Unlike most elements, rather than a poison or paralysis effect, Blast simply creates an explosion which deals a large amount of damage at a single spot, good for breaking off and harvesting monster parts. The only monster to use this explosive status in ''3 Ultimate'' itself is the flagship monster Brachydios, which covers its foes in slime that explodes after a few seconds. When the monster is enraged, its slime loses the delay and its punches just explode on contact.

It's justified with carving items from larger monsters, as their corpse doesn't disappear after you've carved all items from it... except that it raises the question of how your partners can carve more items while you can't when the corpse is still there.

While the Deserted Island appears in ''Portable 3rd'' and ''Generations'' as well, it averts this trope in them because it's no longer possible to swim due to a lack of underwater gameplay (for this same reason, the Flooded Forest appears dry in the former game as well as ''VideoGame/MonsterHunterRise'', with the justification that it's summer).
