User blog comment:WolfQueen/Monster Appreciation Week: Stygian Zinogre/@comment-4899131-20151225165051

An excellent choice for the Xmas week Maw, given all the killer cranberry sauce it chucks around!

The Zino's are awesome because they're quite unlike any other monster I've faced in Tri or 4U & Stygian is a particulary fearsome foe and even more aethetically pleasing than the regular version with his red & black colouring.

Of his gear, only made the Switch Axe (my main weapon along with hammer) & his LBG. I've used the former a great deal & is one of my favourite weapons. Not used the gun much yet, as I'm far from a good gunner & it's still not maxed (Skymeralds don't grow on trees unfortunately), but it's attack power & range of rapid fire choices is pretty impressive.

Overall, Stiggy Ziggy is a very well designed monster who is enjoyably challenging to hunt & will reward you with some highly useful gear.

Finally, I'd like to wish you all a very Merry ChristMAW & a monsterously happy new year :)
