Sure it share the same model with Jyura except minor details... but still a fish-like fire monster that swims in lava it's fresh air compared to the reptile-looking creature that form most part of the roaster. (it's also the only fire-fish in the franchise except its subspecies, Agna is many things sure but not a fish)

Yes they made a mess with that lava armor, but still with a proper equipment it can be a fun fight. About attacks it has a unique one, that kind of jumping in and off holes in the ground in its personal area... finding monsters able to use the enviroment to use certain attacks they wouldn't be able to do otherwise isnt that common in the franchise... that's what I call living and interacting ecosystem.

The lack of general interactions in the Elder Recess is probably caused by some rushing in development (especially considering it was stated to fight Uragaan).

About equipment, its DS are the best fire ones as far as I can remember (if we exclude the Kulve ones).
