User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Fatalis (4th Gen)/@comment-4702773-20160221223100

Alright, time for some appreciation. I really like the Fatalis. There's a lot of history behind them, which is awesome. A dragon with a true hatred of humanity is a foe to be reckoned with. That hatred is really noticable in the fight. Fatalis attacks are savage and powerful. Giant funnels of fire, lines of explosive/red lightning, and calling down meteors are just a few. Fatalis doesn't mince words. He's gonna kill you. Unless you kill him first. The design is basic, but that's what is so great about it. Especially now with all of the new monsters. What do giant hermit crabs, primodial psudo-wyverns, and bone-clad cuttlefish all have in common? They all run for the hills when Fatalis lumbers into town. After all of these crazy, unbelievable monsters are brought up, the basic, giant winged, long necked dragon still rules supreme. The weapons are good in their own way. They look nice, if nothing else. I really like the Wroth armor design. The way the waist and legs go together to make the hunter appear to have the inverted knees of a dragon is really cool. Looks best on the regular Fatalis armor. The white is cool too, Shows the red/white contrast as well as the W. Fatalis mane.

That being said, the Fatalis are in need of a serious revamp. They were tough as hell back in the day, but now with all of the new game mechanics, he's just another scaley face in the crowd. Its not the world-ending elder that it was, but it easily could be with a bit of tweaking.
