Najarala has one of the best designs in the game (perhaps the absolute best, even), but its G-Rank version has this nigh inescapable combo that goes:

Instant tail swipe that flings homing scales with an absurdly large sonic AoE that requires HGE to block.

While you're stunned from the sound, it does its new rattle + circling attack, making its scales explode and damaging + stunning you.

While you're stunned, paralyzing bite.

Then the underground attack, its strongest move, which can easily cart you from close to full health if you're still wearing a low end G-Rank armor.

This means that unless you have HGE or Negate Stun, there is nothing you can do for about 15 seconds while your health gets slowly chipped down until you inevitably eat its highest-damaging attack. And all that starts with a fairly hard to predict and/or avoid move. I genuinely think this is pretty poor design, and that's a real shame because, as I said, Najarala has probably one of the best visuals in the game.

On the other hand I have never seen anyone else complain about this specific thing so maybe it's just me.
