User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Lavasioth (4th Gen)/@comment-4009941-20161217173400

As someone who has hunted Lavasioth in all it's forms and versions. This monster changes as every year goes by for me.

First time for me was MHFU the chubby smaller version of Lavasioth who I kinda hated but used his armor for G Teostra. Too much floppy spamm

Eventually I foght his original on frontier and my goodness his HP was insane and his behavior was different compared to MHFU threw me for a spin. Also FLOPPY SPAMM

Then the Subspecies who just jumps out of the lava directly at you. Less floppy spamm much more triple fireball action!. Also red teeth?

Then I made a discovery that among the normal Lavasioths there are specific ones with no change to appearance of moveset that leave trails of molten lava and fire wherever they slither and spit out lava splatters on teh ground both of these making enviromental hazards...

Same for the subspecies only this one smashed the ground and made lava geysers...

Further in I meet what was known as "Lavasioth Specific Individual" or HC Lavasioth for short. And what on earth it has the cleanest smile of pure white teeth seen on any monster!. My excitement turned to pain as I found this one attacks you from underground able to just melt the ground by diving into it with lava popping up wherever it digged and coming out with lava balls everywhere!. Much needed improvement added for a wider moveset.

Then came Goru and Aru.... Team attack Lavaasioth relatives... You can predict their moves by watching the partner who initiates and they can't die until both are are limp otherwise they can REVIVE! each other.

G HC and normal Lavasioth just added lava rocks thrown from slithering.

HC Red.... Okay I admit the moveset change of ramming your whole body on the shore head first to make a explosion is freakin cool. Decent but I think HC normal Lavasioth has it going better aside from cool explosion. Also Orange teeth?

And now Gen Lavasioth returns to the west with great new digging behaviors like spitting lava to melt through. Not much of a appearance change but man compared to last western Lavasioth much much improved. I have nothing wrong to say about it. In fact I hope Lavasioth shows up again in future games maybe even with a new variant or deviant!.

Just gonna place some salt here. HC Green Plesioth uses Lavasioths jump and flop. Add that to your ideas of Plesioth hell!.
