** ''Tri'' introduces us to the Jaggi and Jaggia, and their KingMook counterpart, the Great Jaggi. One High Rank quest features a Great Jaggi being savagely torn apart by a Deviljho.
** Also in ''Tri'', the Agnaktor, a massive leviathan that wanders around in a volcano, performing vicious attacks such as drilling through the earth and firing a WaveMotionGun of fire to get at you. In ''3 Ultimate'', we're introduced to the Brachydios, who is shown in a cutscene using its slime punches to beat the Agnaktor to a pulp.
** ''Monster Hunter 4's'' intro begins with a Tigrex hunt, only for the Gore Magala to drop in and crush its neck.
** ''4 Ultimate'' introduces the Seregios, a highly territorial Flying Wyvern who frequently interrupts High Rank Caravan quests. In a cutscene right before the final mainline Caravan quest becomes available, a whole flock of them are seen fleeing from a territory under attack, and one is shown being beaten to death. The predator behind all of this? A single ''[[SuperMode Apex]]'' Seregios.
** ''Generations'' introduces Nakarkos, a massive EldritchAbomination of a dragon that feasts upon and [[PowerCopying takes the powers of]] the carcasses of monsters that are already big and scary enough on their own, including Brachydios and even Glavenus, the latter of whom was introduced ''within the same game.''
** ''World'' introduces "Turf Wars" where two giant monsters who venture into the same area will turn and fight each other, inflicting heavy damage. For example, in the Ancient Forest, Anjanath will always kick the crap out of [[ButtMonkey Great Jagras]] and [[FragileSpeedster Tobi-Kadachi]] will put up an admirable effort but be too weak to push it back -- in an {{Inver|tedTrope}}sion of this trope, [[SeriesMascot Rathalos]] will ruin Anjanath's day. Likewise, in the Wildspire Wastes, both [[HardHead Barroth]] and [[MamaBear Rathian]] will [[CurbStompBattle lose horribly]] to Diablos -- [[AvertedTrope so much for]] HerbivoresAreFriendly. [[BloodKnight Odogaron]] will always destroy every other monster it faces in the Coral Highlands, but just to let you know how dangerous it is, [[spoiler:[[{{Necromancer}} Vaal Hazak]] will dispose of Odogaron easily.]] And to the surprise of absolutely nobody familiar with it, Deviljho turns every other monster it fights into a joke -- you know how tough Diablos is? Deviljho ''grabs it mid-charge and suplexes it''.
** One of the DLC update of ''VideoGame/MonsterHunterWorld'' involves Alatreon, a Black Dragon with full control over all five elements suddenly appearing in the New World for unexplained reasons where the hunter must put it down before it can cause catastrophic damage and although the hunter ultimately triumphed, it managed to put up an incredibly difficult fight. Then moments later, it is revealed that the reason Alatreon appeared is that is in fact fleeing from Fatalis and despite being a fellow Black Dragon, actually loses clearly demonstrating Fatalis as the top of the food chain above all other monsters including Alatreon itself. To demonstrate this even further, another Alatreon appeared and despite being just as strong as the previous one, is swiftly defeated by the more experienced hunter but then when it fought Fatalis, it is clearly stronger where even the hunter struggled really hard against it, even being forced to use the Dragonator in order to even stand a chance.
** In ''Rise'', there is a dedicated pecking order to the many monsters present, but chief among the regular monsters is Magnamalo. It is introduced to the player literally carrying a severely wounded Arzuros in its mouth, intimidates the player hunter and two allies into a hasty retreat in that same moment, and its pre-fight intro has it cornering and killing a Tobi-Kadachi (not that it was easy, mind you). Even in Turf Wars it is not to be underestimated; it can ravage earthbound foes with its hellfire, and use the explosions from said hellfire to chase after flying monsters and rocket them into the ground. Even Bazelgeuse, another nasty monster from ''World'' who loves to crash hunters' parties, is not safe from the Wyvern of Malice.

The first trailer of ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'' begins with him floored after a battle with Wolverine (though he does eventually return the favor with a Shoryuken to Wolverine's jaw) and in the fourth trailer, ends up floored again, this time by Doctor Doom, Magneto, Super Skrull, and Dormammu.

Even Tatsuo Shinada, a ''civilian'', is also able to push him back and even though Daigo was being WillfullyWeak at the time, it still demonstrates Shinada is still an ActionSurvivor worthy of being a playable character in Yakuza 5.
