User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Gypceros(4th Gen)/@comment-4702773-20150412152722

I can imagine that the general dislike of this monster is shared. Gypceros is possibly the ugliest monster to exist.The weird teeth and rat tail combo'd with the gross color scheme just adds up to the elastic ugly duckling we know and hate. His movepool reminds me of the one friend everybody has that chooses Charizard for Smash WiiU and just spams Flame Charge. But despite the spamminess and ugliness, I can't help but find some things I like about Gypceros. The running on walls is ery interesting. I can't help but laugh when this chicken goes vertical in the S. Hollow. The fake death is very interesting. If you think about it, a Gyp faking its own death would have no use against its natural predator, the Nerscylla. And because of its poison, it has few other natural predators. That would mean that, theoretically, the Gypceros' fake death is a defence mechanism that developed specifically for hunters. That in itself is pretty cool, and shows that Gypceros is much smarter than it looks (which is saying something..). Maybe.
