Downy Crake is an Endemic Life creature in Monster Hunter World (MHW). These animals are found out in the field, and can be captured by dedicated Hunters looking to research the New World.
You caught a Downy Crake!? They've been seen on the backs of monsters before, but you're the first person EVER to catch one!
Downy Crake Location
You can find Downy Crake in:
- Ancient Forest, sector 1 and 8 on the back of Aptonoth
- Wildspire Waste, sector 1, 4 and 8 on the back of Apceros
- Coral Highlands, sector 11, 13, on the back of Grandfather Mantagrell
- They rarely spawn as a group on top of a random aptonoth or apceros. They like to appear when their host isn't on your screen so look away and listen until you hear their chirping. Use the Ghillie Mantle and crouching to ensure they don't flee as you get close, and/or use a flash pod to stun them. It's possible to catch more than one in one net throw. Reports suggest they are more likely to spawn during dawn and day. Though they can spawn no matter the time or type of weather.
Downy Crake Capturing Rewards
You can capture Downy Crake by using the infinite item "capture net" then aiming for the creature with the control's trigger and pressing Square on your controller when the outline of the frame turns orange.
- House placing: Carpet, Floor, Hearth, Pot, Garden
- Other rewards: 200 RP, Snuggles for All Medal (Capture a fluffy, snuggly creature.)
Downy Crake Notes
- Target of the Research Help: Phantom Bird critical bounty in the Ancient Forest, need to capture 1 of them after receiving the bounty.

i found mine on the flying things above zone 12 (where legiana usually is). I shot it down and the downy crakes tried to run away but they got glitched on a corner.

So, I've spotted a group of them running from a Deviljho in sector 6 of the Wildspire Waste.

Has anyone been able to find these after capturing them the first time? I wanted to fill my room with them but I've been looking for about 3 hours now with no luck.

Go area 1 of Ancient Forest / Wildspire Waste, where Aptonoth's and Apceros are, equip ghille mantle, turn your back to them, listen to the chirping and enjoy.

Sooo, I can't find any info on this encounter I had. I found a downy crake taking cover, under vines, in the ancient forest, section 8, during rain. All alone and shaking off water. I didn't even have my ghillie mantle with me. Just crouched up to it and caught it. I can't find any other reports of this. At first I didn't think it was a downy crake. Because it was all alone and in the rain.

8 of these little sh*ts hopped right off an Apceros towards a herbivore nest and started glitching out. The RNG Gods have blessed me!

I found one glitching the hell out and caught it just stuck on a ledge. I found my Bristly Crake on a Mosswine, and still fishing for the Petricanth

Before I pile 300 hours into the game finding these abominations. What do I get after capturing it for the Research Help? Is it even worth it?

God loves me, they spawned 5 times in just 15 min, I failed to catch them the first 4 times

I switched back and forth between Forest and Wastes. I saw them on the northern set of apinoths (central camp, head north). Both times it was when the creatures were already walking.
After the first time, which I messed up, it took 24 area loading screens (12 in forest, 12 in wastes). I'd bet they have about a 5% chance to spawn.

Can also be found on the back of a Grandfather Mantagrell at the top of sector 13 in the Coral Highlands.

I was trying to locate a high rank Kulu-Ya-Ku to spawn in either Ancient Forest and Wildspire waste so I can get the mission to hunt one right? I was focused on that then saw some weird white blobs on an aptonoth in the Ancient forest, what luck eh? THE NEXT 3 AREA SWAPS SPAWNED THESE F***ERS! I've spent well over 150 hours in this game and never saw any till then. Goddamn RNG...

I was hunting these for an hour or two and saw some on a drinking apthonoth.

Useful tip: These things will NOT show up if you are looking at them. So put on the Gillie mantle, go to an area with Aptonoth or Apceros, turn your character's back to them, look away, and then listen for the chirping.

Does anyone know how big they are. You don't need to be very specific, I just need an estimate.

Have been hunting these birds for the past 2 days! I have been in the Woods, the Waste and in the Highlands. When i went back to the Forestarea 8, a bunch of Jagras scared my precious Aptonoth, i slayed em. About 30 sec later i ve heard the little Cottonballs, creeped up on them and added em to my Collection. A big Hug and Thank you to the Community :)
