''Monster Hunter Online'' was a SpinOff of the long-running popular ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter'' franchise, released only for China and developed by Creator/TencentGames under Creator/{{Capcom}}'s supervision and approval. The game further emphasizes the MassivelyMultiplayerOnlineRolePlayingGame nature of the series with a strong emphasis on purely online quests along with an engine overhaul by using the [=CryEngine=] 3 allowing for more detailed textures, environments, lightning and graphics in general. The game's flagship monster is the Estrellian. [[DefunctOnlineVideoGames The game's servers were shut down in 2019]], the same year as ''VideoGame/MonsterHunterFrontier'''s own servers were taken down and therefore the game is no longer playable.
----
!!The game contains examples of the following tropes:
* AbortedArc: The Estrellian encounters were meant to lead into a whole storyline about discovering its adult form, as it was merely a juvenile Elder Dragon. Sadly, the game's servers shutting down cut short the story and thus the answer may never be known.
* ArtEvolution: As a result of better graphics many monsters have their designs updated and made much more organic with more detailed body parts.
* CanonForeigner: Many new monsters are made for this game such as [[WarmUpBoss Caeserber]], [[GiantEnemyCrab Baelidae]], [[NobleWolf Slicemargl]] and [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Estrellian]]. None of them have ever appeared in any mainline installment unlike the ''Frontier'' monsters, however.
* DefunctOnlineVideoGames: Since the servers shut down in 2019 and the game was online-only, it can no longer be legally played.
* ExpyCoexistence: Various mainline monsters appear alongside their SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitutes from ''Frontier'', such as Abiorogu/Deviljho, Nargacuga/Dyuragaua, etc.
* MascotMook: The Estrellian is the flagship monster and one of the toughest monsters in the game.
* MassivelyMultiplayerOnlineRolePlayingGame: One of two games in the franchise (along with ''VideoGame/MonsterHunterFrontier'') to majorly emphasize this, running entirely on online servers and ultimately being shut down entirely when said servers got shut down.
* {{Transplant}}: Various ''Frontier'' monsters were added to the game in expansions, among them being Espinas, Hypnocatrice, Lavasioth, Dyuragaua and Abiorugu.
