User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Shogun Ceanataur (4th Gen)/@comment-5020152-20160923180116

Shogun was one of the best monsters in FU, and even in Generations with epic beasts like Seregios and Glavenus running the show, this big blue crab is still an awesome monster. Shogun might not have been given many changes like Lagiacrus for example, but honestly, he never needed to be revamped in the first place. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, as they say.

Far more aggressive than Daimyo with a longer reach and the capacity to inflict Bleeding, he's still a lot of fun to fight and gives awesome equipment. That attack he does where he walks forward with his arms outstretched might be annoying for some people, but as an Adept user, I love it because it's easy to dodge and because he always sits there like an idiot after he's done, making him a sitting Gargwa for the counterattack. When Shogun becomes enraged, his scythes unsheath with that distinctive *SHIIIING* that never fails to send a shiver down my spine! Speaking of which, breaking his claws in this game seems to be a lot easier than in FU, which I'm thankful for - but then again, that could just be the case because of the mounting mechanic and new weapons available. The only complaint I have about Shogun is that he's still very similar to Daimyo even with the numerous scythe attacks, but since he's got the same hilarious limping and mounting animations, I can't complain.

Thumbs up to this guy. He's one of the best carapaceons out there... except for maybe Taikun Zamuza, but we're never going to get that one in the main series, so...
