While I can get myself to like both its roar and BGM, I do wish they were a little bit better. They aren't terrible, but they aren't good either.

From a visual perspective though, I really love Nergigante. The way it looks and moves have such a weighty and natural feel to them, I'm actually amazed. The way it is pure melee and doesn't have a even a single element or status attack makes it a nice standout from other Elder Dragons and how their fights play out. While those atleast have some form of ranged attacks which forces you to dodge and then make a dash towards them, Nergigante is like a bulldozer. It constantly charges at you, pressing you right into it (kind of like 3rd gen Barroth). You have to manage wittling away its spikes while trying not to get run over.

Together with the armor set having my favourite design in MHW, as well as having quite useful skills, I really love Nergigante. The weapons have high Elder Seal on them, if you are willing to trade in damage for that, which make them quite useful for hunting other Elder Dragons.

Overall Nergigante is my favourite monster from 5th gen.
