Monster Hunter Wilds has barely been out for a month, and fans have already gotten creative with it. One modder decided the world needed a whimsical twist, and thus, the iconic Thomas the Tank Engine made his daring entrance into the game. But instead of turning monstrous battles into train brawls, this mod has transformed Thomas into your new trusty steed, replacing your Seikret with the cheerful little engine.
If the monstrous creatures like the eerie Natarkveld weren’t enough to deal with, having your character ride as a train could have been a complete mismatch. So, modder GrizzlyAdams77 opted for a clever swap. The “Thomas the Tank Engine Seikret” mod does exactly what its name implies: turns your trusty ride into Thomas himself, all geared up with starter armor. Now, as you embark on your quests, Thomas and his ever-cheerful demeanor provide that visual boost as you hunt down formidable foes.
In gameplay footage, Thomas isn’t just any ordinary ride. You’ll catch him doing impressive moves, like pulling a wheelie or wagging his caboose as he dashes through the landscapes. Alma, your character, seems quite unfazed by this sudden shift to train travel.
It did take a bit longer for Monster Hunter Wilds to feature its first Thomas mod compared to some Bethesda titles. However, adding Thomas to various Monster Hunter games is far from new. Many have dabbled in this delightful crossover thanks to the open nature of PC gaming, where modding is less restricted. UberGrainy, a modder with a flair for the locomotive, has previously swapped Thomas for MH: Rise’s Palamutes and MH: World’s fearsome Nergigante, pulling off some hilarious results.
For those clocking hours in Wilds, a Thomas-themed Arkveld might just become a reality. Until then, if you’re teaming up with Thomas and need advice on conquering this expansive world, don’t forget to browse through handy guides available out there.
