Monster Hunter Wilds Now Features Thomas the Tank Engine Mount Mod; Awaiting Macho Man Arkveld Next!

It finally happened—Monster Hunter Wilds has its very own Thomas the Tank Engine mod, and it’s made its debut just in time for the game’s one-month anniversary. But instead of transforming epic monster battles into bizarre train confrontations, this mod allows players to roll through the game with a nod to the beloved train, replacing the trusty Seikret with Sir Topham Hat’s iconic locomotive.

Monster Hunter enthusiasts are no strangers to formidable foes, especially with mods introducing unique challenges like Natarkveld, a creepy fusion of Nata and Arkveld. While a player-train hybrid might disrupt your Thomas-themed adventure, the mod has found a perfect solution with the Seikret swap.

Enter GrizzlyAdams77 and their straightforwardly titled “Thomas the Tank Engine Seikret” mod. This creation swaps out the initial Seikret model and armor for Thomas, your whimsical ally on your quest to conquer giant creatures. As the accompanying video demonstrates, you’ll frequently find Thomas executing impressive wheelies and energetically shaking his, well, coupling end, as he bolts across the landscape beneath your character and their companions. Alma appears quite unfazed by this new train-centric mode of travel.

Although it took a touch longer for Wilds to receive its Thomas mod compared to typical Bethesda titles, there’s a longstanding tradition of integrating this train into Monster Hunter games. Kudos to the modding community’s creativity, with UberGrainy leading the charge by turning MH: Rise’s Palamutes and MH: World’s formidable dragon Nergigante into hilarious train-themed experiences.

UberGrainy hasn’t released a Thomas mod for Wilds yet, so if you’re envisioning a steam train-like Arkveld confrontation, keep those fingers crossed—it could still come to life. After all, there’s something inherently mischievous about Thomas, as he channels his grievances towards a certain top hat-wearing individual.
