Oh, Agnaktor, how I've missed you. He's definitely one of the better monsters in 3rd Gen, and his subspecies is arguably the best subspecies we've ever had. But Agnaktor is fantastic. His design is almost reminiscent of something you'd find in an ancient Aztec temple (and I believe his romanized Japanese name is Agunakotol, which brings to mind Quetzalcoatl, and that's utterly fantastic). Just everything about this guy's design screams "awesome" to me - the huge fin that goes down the back, the lava armor, the Ornithocheirus-like beak... everything. Agnaktor's roar sounds a bit too much like a horrendous grating scream of agony, though.

Overall, Agnaktor is pretty hot. He's a great monster to hunt laser​ in the game, but I prefer the Tri / 3 Ultimate Aggy to the Generations one. Sorry if I sound ​basalt-y or something, but that's just the cone​ hard truth. Not that the Volcanic Hollow isn't a great area for him, but I have to say-​nt Helens it's weird not hearing the Volcano (3rd) theme Pompeii-ing in the background. That was his jam, you know? But anyway, Agnaktor is a great monster. Dare I say that I'm in lava​?
