Monster Hunter World Iceborne monster list guide - how to defeat every boss

Now that Monster Hunter World Iceborne is out on PC, at long last, there is a new cast of monsters to hunt. They range from big woolly beasts to intimidating elder dragons that have fresh ways to dish out the damage. There are also some returning favourites from the previous games in the series that the PC never got, such as Tigrex or Nargacuga, only they now have added tweaks to make them more challenging in Monster Hunter World Iceborne.
