It consists, as its name implies, of deep forests and high hills, possessing an overall temperate climate. The herbivores Aptonoth and Kelbi roam the hills, as the location has an abundance of foliage, along with packs of Velociprey and their leader, Velocidrome. While this zone is perfect for novice hunters, it is not entirely danger-free; Rathalos and Rathian are commonly seen nesting on the highest cliffs, whilst Yian Kut-Ku, Gypceros, Yian Garuga, and even the Elder Dragons like Chameleos are known to inhabit this location as well.
