First MAW about MHGen is focused on the First Urgent Monster that you face in the Village, Great Maccao! Couldn't be better than this!

Design and Concept are OK, A Red And Green Raptor with Yellow Plumes on the head, and stare other traits with Kangaroos and something from archaeopteryx. It has an Unique Move Set, making it the Most Original among the Raptorial Bird Wyverns, it uses all of its limbs and the Tail to attack looking like a kickboxer combined with the already mentioned Kangaroo. However, I think that I'm the only one there, but If I want to be honest, I don't have at all "its" theme.

Since it's a 2 Star Level Monster, is supposed to be easy, but never underestimate this Monster at the beginning of your MHGen Career. The only two attacks that bothers me a bit are the Punches (Damage Barely noticeable, but they're really quick) and the multiple Tail Slams, but since is a weak Monster those are not real issues.

The Equipment is... Well... Made for the beginning, at least the Weapons have a nice design, the Armor looks OK design wise, but seems almost useless in terms of Skills... Or Skill?

Overall: The Most Original and One of My Favorite Raptorial Bird Wyverns! Has an interesting design and a cool fight as a 2 Star Level Monster! Some Attacks could be annoying, the Theme dedicated the the Leader of Maccaos is Bad IMO... But is a good addition! Of course the Equipment is simply made for the Beginning so is Useless to spend more words about it... I like Great Maccao, but there is a small part of me who miss Great Jaggi, and G. Maccao doesn't truly replace this Monster...
