Pukei-Pukei is already one of my favorite monsters, so this subspecies is no different.

I love how Iceborne decided to change things up for Subspecies, breaking the mold of "Status Monster - Status Subspecies/Elemental Monster - Elemental Subspecies" and giving this cute thing water instead of the expected sleep or paralysis.

Its fight is very well done too, requiring different tactics than regular Pukei-Pukei.

All in all a superb subspecies, both in concept and execution.
