DOES SIZE MATTER?

[George]

Sometimes I feel like the bigger the monster the harder they hit and angrier they are. Or maybe it's just me. Your thought?

[Bisquetz]

I mean, the hitbox feels bigger.

I never feel any difference in damage tho.

[KnockerLocker]

No just the hitbox are bigger with bigger monster. The damage modifier is rng regarless of size.

[Murdo]

The hitboxes are different which means they might just be out of reach if they're too big or they might have easier time hitting you.
Also I think they do have slightly more HP but only stightly.

[Stationary Traveller]

No.
HP and damage modifiers are totally unrelated to their size.

But actually hitting them is harder.

[AsceticG]

Higher weakpoints actually make the monsters harder to kill, except if you're using ranged weapons.

[Lunacy]

They can move around faster, hit from farther, can be harder to reach.

This would only apply to T-rex monsters anyway.

The question was "do they hit harder and get enraged faster depending on their size"? The answer is no.
I don't even get why people are talking about how hard they are to hit.

[キールス]

It kinda depends. The big ones really hit hard enough that you get some joy in it but it hurts so much.

If it is too small you do not feel anything and get bored easily.

I guess it depends on the person.

[FadingCosmos]

The size of the monster only affects of getting crowns for their sizes.

Size does not affect the following:
Damage
HP
Defense
Status Thresholds
