Herbivore
Herbivores are weak monsters that eat vegetation from grass or trees instead of hunting for meat. They are usually docile monsters which may attack or run away if threatened. They range in many different sizes and species. Although they are all in the same group, many of the species are not closely related to each other.

Aptonoth
Nicknames: None
Titles: None
Size: Medium
Status Inflictions: None
Weakness: Fire
Habitat: Almost all
The Aptonoth is a common Herbivore monster with dark gray skin and black stripes along its back. It has one large horn/plate on its head. They are the cousins of the more aggressive Apceros. These weak monsters pose no threat to hunters.
These docile creatures are hunted by humans and other monsters for their meat. They always travel in groups. When one Aptonoth is threatened, others will run away for safety, but the alpha male of the Aptonoth group fights back and then leaves. These weak monsters are at the bottom of the food chain. They migrate in spring-time lands, like Forests and Swamps. They are much more alert and able to stand up on their hind legs for brief periods. They have also been observed to lie down when not under threat. They will stand on their hind legs and roar, as well as walk much faster, whenever a predator is a single area away. If a predator is in the same area, they will be extremely restless, groan, and move around very frequently, but will not leave the area until that predator is close-by.
Aptonoth can be utilized by people to haul carts.

Apceros
Nicknames: Angry Herbivore
Titles: None
Size: Medium
Status Inflictions: None
Weakness: Thunder
Habitat: Volcanos and Deserts
Apceros are territorial monsters and will attack any intruder on sight. Their hard shell and thick skin protect them from heat. Normally, they can only be found in hot areas like Deserts and Volcanos. They won't give up fighting until the enemy has fallen or they are dead. Usually, they attack by headbutting and whipping foes with their spiked tails. These monsters are also known to easily trick new hunters, as they walk extremely slow, but can easily knock over a hunter and do hefty damage.

The Mosswine are small moss-covered pigs that are frequently found in grassy, forested or swampy areas. They are known to have a great appetite for mushrooms. Hunters and marketers commonly observe them to identify an area of Special Mushrooms. Mosswine have some flabby fat on their bodies that make them look chubby.

The Epioth is a peaceful aquatic herbivore. Its best known predators are the Lagiacrus and Gobul who both eat them when low on stamina.

Rhenoplos
Nicknames: Rheno
Titles: None
Size: Small
Status Inflictions: None
Weakness: Ice
Habitat: Almost all
Similar to the previous Bullfango, the Rhenoplos will charge the player on sight; many can find this monster to be highly annoying when fighting a boss, gathering materials, and delivering Powderstones/Eggs.It is a favorite prey for Agnaktor at the Volcano but becomes much more popular as food in the Sandy Plains where the Barioth Subspecies and Hapurubokka eat it. Like Apceros in previous games, their eggs are highly prized by hunters. If a Rhenoplos runs into a pillar, it will be stunned for a few seconds. Unlike most minions, you can craft an entire armor set from their materials.
Rhenoplos have poor sight but extremely good hearing.

Zuwaroposu
Nicknames: Swamp Herbivore, Roposu, Zuwa
Titles: Drooping Hide Wyvern
Size: Small
Status Inflictions: None
Weakness: Medium
Habitat: Flooded Forest
Zuwaroposu are extremely territorial; the males will attack Hunters and Wyverns, similarly to how the Rhenoplos attack hunters. They attack hunters by ramming with the bone lump on their snouts and body-slamming.
They are usually found near water, probably because their floppy, frog-like hides require moisture.
