User blog comment:WolfQueen/Monster Appreciation Week: Thunderlord Zinogre/@comment-3298463-20161231130701

I had little hopes for this Deviant being good after the horribly bland Stygian in 3U and the terrible shitshow of Stygian in 4U, but I am actually very pleased with this one. Despite somehow looking even worse than regular Zinogre and having an infamously useless armor, its charging mechanic is very interesting. It's cool how there's both upsides and downsides to both states of charge, with the green mode being weaker but faster and more aggresive, and the golden mode being very powerful with wide area attacks at the expense of speed (I really could do without the instant stun in every attack though). I never really liked how regular Zinogre suddenly became thrice as powerful and was otherwise a joke, and I like that they make a monster harder by means other than turning up speed and aggresiveness.

The breakdancing attack looks great but functionally it's not too different from a regular horn thrust or any kind of less flashy-looking short range attack. I wish it had more unique animations.

Also I don't think it ever gets tired? Since it's always in supercharge and all that...
