Tobi-Kadachi is one of my most-hated Monsters of MHW... While is the only monster, along with Odogaron, that matches with the characteristics of Fanged Wyvern pre-world, everything else on this monster is just bad.

Design-wise could be fine is wasn't heavily copied... Ahem... "Inspired" by Dalamadur, and then borrows others random traits from other monsters like Zinogre or Kecha Wacha but making a terrible mix of it. Also, the extended fur when enraged wasn't that bad if was shorter. Concept wise, is OK.

Probably one of the least enjoyable monsters to fight that ever existed, in a certain sense, is some kind of heavily nerfed Kirin due to his movement speed and that doesn't stand still for a second, but unlike Kirin is so fragile and so easy to make it flinch/fall/stagger that in a few minutes he dies before you could understand what happened. Well, let's resume the hunt of this Monster in a few steps: speedy bite, another fast attack, Zinogre's Tail Slam, another fast attack, "oh hey! There's a Tree/wall over there!" hangs on wall/tree, charges, glides and performs the TrueBrokenHitboxSpinningTailSpeed'oWhip, he limps, THE END.

Equipment-wise have a similar role with Khezu, Tobi takes the place of first monster that gives Thunder Element Weapons in this Game, OK, but nothing else to say. Armor design is OK, but definitely outclassed after a while.

Overall: Another offense to Fanged Wyvern family (even if its traits are ok for that class, but Tobi is just bad), Tobi-Kadachi tries to be an original monsters but is just a terrible mix from other (better) monsters resulting a forgettable ZinoDalaKiriNargaKhezuWacha Wannabe... Just like when a newbie tries to do a mixed set for his/her own and the result is just an Armor with terrible Defense/Elem Res and only Atk Up Small as active Skill in older MH Games. The only purpose of this Monster is just to ruin, furthermore, my experience of MHW... And let's not talk about Tempered Kadachi.
