** One of the monsters you can do this with is the Brachydios that the Guildmarm--who is [[AdmiringTheAbomination head over heels for it]]--wants you to pay a visit. Rather than crush her dreams by killing it, you can humor her for a bit by defeating it but letting it live instead.

* The fact that many missions give you the option (or require you) to simply capture the monster in question instead of slaying it. There's something oddly sweet about the fact that, not only do you survive, but you essentially spare the life of what are essentially non-malevolent wild animals (albeit very aggressive ones).

* The SpinOff game ''Monster Hunter: Stories'' focuses on not hunting the monsters, but on the bond between monsters and Riders (people who are able to tame and ride monsters). Zinogre? Rathalos? Even the Kirin? Now they can be your loyal companions.

* Beating the Zinogre from Portable 3rd has the entire village celebrate by way of inviting [[ContinuityCavalcade everyone from the past games to the village for a massive summer festival]]. Faces old and new come in to relish in you vanquishing the monster, from captains to guildmasters and everyone in between. The credits even show how they got invited, a Felyne delivering the invitations as music and monsters from each game play in the background.

High Questatrix

Added DiffLines:

* In ''4'', the High Questatrix, who you receive High Rank quests from in the Gathering Hall, is frequently trying to behave like an evil mastermind. She suggests that she sabotaged your transportation on multiple occasions, is known to laugh evilly at your misfortune, and will sarcastically tell you to come back safe. However, when it comes time to fight the [[spoiler:Dalamadur]], the High Questatrix [[spoiler:tries to put on her usual evil mastermind show, but she stops because she simply can't pretend that she doesn't care about you when you're about to go off to slay a monster that's capable of such mass destruction. She has a very sweet heart to heart with you before begging you to come back safe, for real this time.]]

One of their possible lines of dialog explains the Enthusiasm system, and the way the word it, it's not that deploying them with low enthusiasm irritates them - they're worried they won't be putting in 100% for you.
