User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Yian Garuga(4th Gen)/@comment-26421638-20150809091724

Good Old Mr. Yian Garuga, Kut-Ku's Evil Cousin and the 1st Gen Powerhouse... Once was my favorite Monster but I still like it someway.

I like the design of this Monster, a bigger, darkened and "devilish" version of Yian Kut-Ku, I like the shape of its tail and I really like its Roar and theme music...

It's a challenging Monster to beat, it shares some moves with Kut-Ku, other moves with Rathian and other new moves for its own. Although is Considered a "Powerhouse" Monster, is still the Easiest imo. Unfortunately Capcom didn't revamped well this Monster (except for a couple of new combos)... Its movements still looks weird and its charge attack is still so unpredictable...

When I hunt this Monster there are three things that I hate this Monster:
 * As I said before, its Unpredictable charge attack is so annoying and difficult to evade.
 * I Hate that damn Double Beak Strike Attack.
 * Why its Tail attacks inflicts Poison even if you cuts the tail?

Its Weapons Are Good, good Raw Damage, Good Sharpness, Good Affinity (and some of them have Poison). Its armor is good too, it usually have Earplugs+ And skills that boosts your Affinity. Unfortunately Aesthetically its armor Su*ks (especially the LR and HR ones). Back In Freedom Unite, it had good Elemental Resistances (complete set gave +10 with Fire and Thunder and 0 with other elements, or +2 with Garuga's Mask).

In Freedom Unite Garuga was just a bit more Dangerous... Nothing Else...

OVERALL:A Good and challenging Monster, but it needs to be revamped again... I hope that in MHX will be better...
