User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Barroth (5th Gen)/@comment-26421638-20180228185328

Good Ol'Barroth! Man I really missed this Monster for a while, and it was good to see it again in MHXX... Oh wait... This muddy lover was My Favorite Brute Wyvern, before Glavenus appeared, however I cannot properly appreciate here in World.

I always liked it's design, its "nose-crest" and it's color scheme and I really like the whole concept of this Monster. Its good to see this monster again in a game were graphics got a major revamp, however looks more brownish rather than brown and orange, making it more realistic but a bit more bland at the same time.

I really enjoyed fighting this monster in previous games, however, I don't get it what's wrong with it, but I don't really enjoy fighting anymore Barroth in world... I dunno... He became a bit more boring, a bit more annoying and, most importantly, feels way more weaker than 3rd Gen Barroth. Also, it's new animations feels worse, an honorable mention goes to its charge attack, the animation is the same (odd-looking) as before, but Barroth literally freezes for half second before starting charging. The only good thing that I can say about MHW's Barroth is the new reworked Mud Status, definitely better than before.

Its equipment is ok for early LR and HR quests, and I kinda like the Design of its stuff, both weapons and armor.

Overall: My former favorite Brute Wyvern, surpassed by Glavenus and then by Duramboros and Radobaan. I still like it but not as much as I did in the past...
