User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Discussion of the Week: Monster Concept Art/@comment-33384696-20160502171028

The sheer differance between the looks of these concept arts and the final product really helps me to appreciate just how much effort Capcom puts into making these magnificent monsters.

1. I would like something similar to the 33'rd picture from the "More Concept Art" part of the page. It simply stands out an attracts me, especially with its dunkleostus like maw

2. 39 of the "More Concept Art" section suprised me. I wasn't expecting a salamander/leviathen like monster with an inflating sac on its back or head.

3.  Gogmazios. He(she? it?  does it even have an official gender?) is simply amazing in terms of appearance in my opinion, and I would love to see what its original concept may have looked like.

4. I think the Gaia Dragon would be incredible in game. Perhaps it could appear as a 3 elder dragons, a forest variation, desert variation, and volcanic variation, each with its own unique moveset yet similar movements. As for the Crypt Hydra, I would be lying if I said I didn't like the concept,  But im not too sure how a two headed dragon would fit in from an ecological standpoint. Perhaps it could instead be a nest of Parasitic monsters manipulating some poor wyvern host, using the host to move around, and attacking you directly as a series of head-like appendages. This answer was alot longer then I was expecting it to be :P

5. Yes actually,  I think Ukanlos would  have been more intimidating from an appearance point of view if it retained its low-lying body and those simply massive fins.

6.  If I was on the concept art team, then I would change the crypt hydra to something more akin to what I wrote about it above in response to question 4.

7.  Alot of them do actually. The crypt dragon reminds me of Osutagorua (How badly did I butcher its name), and the ukanlos art reminds me of Zamtrios.
