I still don't know what to think of Gore Magala.

The design is weird, and definitely not MH-like. It's an eyeless xenomorph mixed with a tarantula, and a dragon. The whole Frenzy Virus concept is also strange, I think it's kind of cool to have a disease in MH, but basically turning monsters into dark zombies is way too edgy. Also its canon is bullshit. It doesn't quite work like that. To me it sounds like they couldn't make an explanation for the Virus, so they just came up with that.

However, I think Gore is a fun monster to fight. The theme comes along nicely, and it has a wide arrange of moves to use. I also like its Frenzy Mode, it's almost like fighting an entirely different monster. Plus it isn't really OTT like its adult version.

Its weapons offer Dragon Element very early, so I'm sure everyone of us at crafted at least one Gore weapon back in LR. G-Rank equipment is different though, and it can be hard to make due to Gore Mantles being exceptionally rare. When it comes to their designs, I completely agree with @Gob The Najarala there. Some weapons look badass, but when they run out of ideas they just go "let's put skulls everywhere". That LBG is completely cringeworthy.

So sometimes I think Gore is a pretty cool monster, while sometimes I think it is dumb.

Now, I actually really like Chaotic Gore Magala.

Amazing concept for a variant, and its music theme is pretty cool. It is also much more fun to fight than Shagaru Magala - in fact, IMO, Chaotic is how Shagaru Magala should have been in first place. It can use both of its modes, while Shagaru is just a permafrenzied Gore with random explosions (Laaazy). Also it is unpredictable and chaotic, being able to switch between modes almost instantly. You can see it performing a Gore attack, then instantly back away, plant its two wingarms on the ground and perform Shagaru's expansive virus blast attack. And its armor is not only good-looking, but also has pretty nice skills.

So even if I'm not fond of the regular Gore Magala, I think Chaotic is an amazing monster indeed.
