User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Azure Rathalos (4th Gen)/@comment-4702773-20160101163914

I really don't see that much of a difference between the two. I mean, there's the obvious color, and the blue does look cool. But as for the fight, I've always had a problem with regular Rathalos flying waaaay too much. So when it came time for the Azure, who is suppose to fly much more than the regular, I didn't see much of a change. An odd attack here, a flying swoop there. I'm not saying he's a bad monster, but he's just a reskinned Rathalos, and I know how people hate hearing that. But when you're the subspecies to the flagship monster of the series, it would help to be memorable. Pink Rathian is a much better fight. And I guess its still odd for me that the -ian series really takes off and becomes so much better and more difficult in the subs while the -los just remain the same. Hopefully Black Flame King Rathalos will help to even the score? But Crazy Venom Bitch Rathian looks amazing too.
