Pukei-Pukei is, overall, a decent monster for me

On one hand, I do find it´s design pretty appealing. It´s not an adorable muffin like Kulu-Ya-Ku, but it´s better than Great Jagras, and also better than both Yian Kut-Ku and Gypceros. The gecko-like eyes are a very nice touch, and make it look much more appealing than Mr. Chicken Mc Big Ears and Mr. Flashing Gobble Gobble Abomination.

In terms of gameplay... yeah, there´s not too much to say. As you should expect from your first big Bird Wyvern, it´s not especially durable or difficult, nor does it stand out too much.

In my humble opinion, it doesn´t beat Qurupeco (whose gimnick is, to put it bluntly, hilariously devious) as the best "tutorial" for Wyvern battles, but again, it is a nice, decent new bird.
