User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Tetsucabra/@comment-25746714-20150407005400

Although I really like Tetsucabra as a fight, he became exceedingly easy very fast. I can say (and not ashamed) that I learned the in's and out's the MH4U demo, so I fought Tetsucabra a lot. When I finally got to play MH4U, he was almost a joke to me, and I do say almost because no one is perfect at anything, he did get me good a few times.

But then I got to High Rank, and man, I can say that I had a swollen head entering his fight with low rank Velociprey armor. Let's just say he one shot me three times with three other people, that is the story in a nutshell.

When I thought about frog monsters in Monster Hunter, the last thing that would come to my mind is a concept like Tetsucabra. I would expect something like Khezu or Gigginox, being able to climb walls and spam the hell out of five different projectile attacks. But Capcom blew the roof off with a suprising twist, and I am thankful for it!

Though I can say I got absolutely no use out of his equipment. Ever since I have started the game, I haven't forged a single piece of Tetsucabra Armor or Weapons. Though the Santoku Knife Great Sword made me laugh when I first saw it, go up against a Seregios and you are really "Cutting some Chicken".

As I said in last week's DotW, I am a fan of orange. So Tetsucabra in my opinion is a very awesome looking monster. The blue compliments it very well and his Subspecies variant looks like what a demonic Tree-Frog would look like.

One last thing I will talk about is a unique sound he makes a lot of the time, and you guys may or may not know what I am talking about when I explain it. You can hear when he roars and when he does his foward charge, jump-around-like-a-maniac move. It almost sounds mechanical in a way, imagine a lazer beam screaming the word "roar", that is what it sounds like in my opinion.

And that is about all I to say about this frog. I hope they make more frog monsters (and not amphibeans, I mean actual frogs) in the future, because I really enjoy fighting Tetsucabra.
