This Monster Hunter Wilds (MHWI) Small Monsters guide lists all 18 small creatures. Including their type, drops and habitats. Each monster has a specific set of item drops depending on what rank you are currently playing. For example you will likely get better drop rewards during higher rank gameplay.
Not only that but if you find and defeat them, these monsters will also turn into quests that you can farm and repeat later. Simply defeat them and speak to Alma to, then, complete quests related to them.
All Monster Hunter Wilds Small Monsters
Small monsters are optional creatures farmed for crafting materials. They are not as dangerous as large monsters. They have less health and their attacks are not that damaging. You can engage more at the same time to make farming more efficient.
