User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Crystalbeard Uragaan/@comment-26034899-20161223011141

Ahoy, matey! Ye be makin' an appreciation page fer Captain Crystalbeard? Ye better make it worthy of the finest grog around, or ye'll be kissing the gunner's daughter in Davy Jones's Locker fer all eternity!


 * Ahem* Anyways, Crystalbeard has an interesting concept, being a monster who revolves around treasure and crushing the greedy into a fine paste after they let gold fever get the better of them, but this concept unfortunately was undermined by its gameplay, which is essentially glorified G-Rank Uragaan gameplay with more sedation-inducing attacks. It should have remained a variant as far as I'm concerned, because it's too similar to the original in my not so humble opinion; if it had more to set itself apart from vanilla Uragaan besides souped-up versions of its attacks, it wouldn't be so forgettable. Considering that it's got a pirate-like name, maybe they could have given it a moveset based around pirate combat, like making it shoot crystals at opponents with cannon-like appenadges or decorate its tail with dagger-like spikes that induce Bleeding? Hopefully G-Rank will give this gem-clad buccaneer more to offer.
