1. Definetly Akantor. Awesome design, awesome fight and awesome music. The equipment is also good (atleast the armor) and feature description porn of the finest quality. Definetly my favourite.

2. Apex and Deviant monsters. One of them are monsters with simply buffs (Apex), and th others are simply normal monsters with different moves (Deviants). Why do both of these things exist?

3. It's interesting. Knowing that Elder Dragons are not the undisputable kings of the MH world like they were made to be for a long time, having a clear statement that there are other monsters that can rival them is good to have. Makes a good point in making gameplay and story segration as small as possible. So yeah, I like it.

4. My point would go to Brachydios. Slime/Blast is still one of the most versatile ailments ever, and if the Ecology is anything to go by, Brachys slime can easily crumble armor from its opponents, which means it can shred stronger monsters with ease. And with him having a Rare Species now, this is even more of a sign to me that brachy would definetly deserve to be on that list.

5. As I said, Apex and Deviants shouldn't be a thing. Why does overcoming a virus boost their power to such stupid levels? And for Deviants we don't even have an explination on why they get so strong.

6. The Magalas. These guys create a death zone around them simply by them existing. Not a fan of a slow and agonizing death by infections.

7. Yes, most of all Deviljho. These guys are said to make ecosystems go extinct, yet you never get to see that. Being a random invade and eating big monsters from time to time is something different from a horror hunger that can literally destroy a part of the world.

8. Raviente (yes, bite me) is pretty much an Elder Dragon is everything but classification. Why do we even got that stupid "???" category?

9. Alatreon and Deviljho. Alternativley, Alatreon and Rajang.
