User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Great Girros/@comment-15446856-20180416144313

Great Girros, or as I call it, Better Gendrome. It's the standard Paralysis monster of this generation, with its Paralysing fangs and spit and all. For a low tier monster it has a surprisingly good fight and design. The perfect blend of a snake and a lizard, the Great Girros does everything better than what Gendrome was, having a wide variety of attacks to cover all its spots, a ranged attack and even the special rarely seen ability to call in its minions to attack the hunter by a call. Why is it better than Gendrome? Great Girros cannot Paralyse you on the first hit, only its Paralysis Spit is a guarantied Paralyse, it has far more attacks, it can actually use its minions to attack you, and has a better colour scheme that includes a hood inclusion when it enrages. Also may I say that Gendrome became cancerous in Generations thanks to the Deviant quests, and that it was part of the terrible tag teaming that monsters in old gen have? In this generation, Great Girros and its Tailrider minions can actually help you by Paralysing the monster you are hunting! Hmm, although I still do like Dodogama more.
