Monster Hunter Wilds fans are aghast to discover that what they thought to be a baby Pukei-Pukei in Capcom's new game is actually just a bird.

Last month, when Monster Hunter Wilds rolled out its huge new trailer, eagle-eyed fans spotted what they suspected might be a baby Pukei-Pukei. You can see t🥂he source of the rampant speculation just below, in a screenshot from the trailer that does admittedly make a pretty compelling case for the baby version of the storied Monster Hunter creature.

Fans quickly went into overdrive for the baby Pukei-Pukei, coming up with lovely fanart for the new creature, like the one just🥀 below. Monster Hunter fans far and wide were ready to pledge themselves to the baby Pukei-Pukei without a second's hesitation - including without stopping to wonder if the new varia🐟nt of the monster was actually real or not.

It turns out that, sadly, the baby Pukei-Pukei is not a baby Pukei-Pukei after all.
