@Kogath True! I totally didnt even realize i put it as a giant monster there lol. BUT PLEASE YES for bringing back all 3! The other 2 have such good themes and the fights are epic man. I guess why i think Shen is likely is only because Shen and Lao do have a similar theme in that you are practically defending the town from them as they move forward, plus Shen is wearing a Lao skull haha. Idk i just label them as a pair sometimes.

@TheElusiveOne Id figure if they never put water fights in the series again the easiest thing would be to potentually make it a ship fight like Jhen/Dah'ren. They even have a map for a ship sea battle when you fight Gore in MH4 for the first time. Honestly its probably the only thing that could work for it.

But we are also forgetting Dire Miralis. Honestly that fight could be easily implemented by just giving more tools to fight it while its cooling off in the water and the ability to reach its upper parts by the climbing mechanic in some way. Just make the map more interactive.
