Deviljho

Oh, hey! Good Mr. Deviljho... The 3rd gen Powerhouse know as "Eater of Worlds"... Honestly, I'm not a great fan of this Monster, but I cannot Hide that this is a good Monster...

Aesthetically is not that great, basically a longer T-Rex with some extra fangs on its chin... At least When it goes in rage turns really Badass, the pumped muscles, the visible scars and the red coloration shows who truly is the "devil"... This design works fine, but isn't that original and, personally, I'm Not very impressed...

While I don't find the Design "that" original, the concept and the whole Ecology behind this Monster is really interesting... A Wanderer who must to eat constantly due to the metabolism trying to devouring every creature that Jho meets... That's amazing... And then, this Monster is extremely able to transmit feaf to all the unexpert players of Monster Hunter... Back in 3rd gen, every time that you're doing a Qurupeco HR Quest or an HR Quest with Unstable Environment... You already know that there was a chance that Deviljho may appear in the Quest, and you already had fear about the idea... Unfortunately... Recently, the "fear" that Transmit Deviljho is partially disappeared, I don't know why, maybe Because Deviljho Is Easier in 4th Gen? Maybe Because you've learned how to face a Deviljho? I cannot find the Answer...

The Music is OK, Is not one of My favorite themes, but fits Perfectly...

Fighting this Monster is quite fun... Maybe not the most enjoyable fight, but it works... This Monster is Supposed to be difficult, and tecnically it is, however isn't that difficult to learn all of its attacks patterns and, after a few hunts, you are already able to detect and how to evade/block almost all of its attacks... Speaking About Attacks, if some attacks aren't that good looking (Bites and tail swing) others are really cool and original like the Boulder Trow or the Popular Dragon Breath... The G Rank Variation of the Dragon Breat Attack looks hilarious, it's easy to dodge and if you're close to Jho it's a great chance to attack it... Honestly, I find this Monster Easier in 4U... However I Cannot understand if i've learned how to face a Jho, or If Is Jho who is Less Aggressive and Deals Less Damage...

The Equipment is interesting... More Or Less... Some Weapons are Good Looking (like the Switch Axe and the Hammer) others looks Bad... The Worst one is the GS who looks like a Khezu... However the Stats of the Deviljho Weapons are very good, especially In 3rd Gen... Now in 4U you must to have Awoken to get the Dragon Element, and then some Weapons don't even have a Dragon Element at all! That's nonsense... The Armor is Great, Good Looking (especially the G Rank one) and also interesting Skills...

Overall: The "Eater Of Worlds" is a Well Done Monster... However I cannot Hide that I'm not a great fan of this Monster... However, I must admit that fighting this Monster is quite fun, the Ecology is great and the Equipment is Valuable... A Possibe MH Without Deviljho would look weird and strange, but is also True that Deviljho have partially lost its "reputation", it needs to get it back...

'''Savage Deviljho"

If I Still Consider Deviljho a Good Monster, Savage Deviljho is One of my Most Hated Monsters... Yeah, the Concept is Good and Aesthetically have "Something that Deviljho Doesn't have" with the Glowing Red Eyes and the Red/Black Aura..., but facing this Monster is Extremely Painful, the Extended Dragon Breath is not a problem for me, but it's painful not only for its aggressive nature, but for something else... That F*****g Pin Attack! That Attack is Quick, Unpredictable and have a ridiculously broken hitbox (It pins you even if touch you with a leg or Tail), and then you've already wasted one of your Precious Dung Bombs... And then, I cannot understand why I must to Trow 2 or 3 Dung Bombs to Escape from the Pin Attack...

The Equipment could be better, the Design of the Weapons it's OK and the Armor, aesthetically isn't that bad (but I prefer the G Rank Regular Jho)... The Pieces of Savage Jho's Armor are Useful only for some Mixed Sets, making a Full Savage Deviljho Set is for Fools, bad skills and also extremely weak to all Elements...

My Gosh, how much I hate this Thing! Yeah, looks cool, but it's a real pain to face it...

"Other" Deviljhos

Apex Deviljho: take a Savage Deviljho and gave to It all the Apex Monsters Features, I hate Apex Monsters and I also hate Savage Jho... This Monster, along with Apex Rajang, Apex Tidal Najarala and Rusted Daora, is one of my worst nightmares in MH4U.

Frontier's Deviljho/Savage: Looks Good, I Love the Attack who Catch a huge Chunk of the Ground with its Jaws and smash it to the ground... Could have more Dragon Element attacks, but Frontier's Savage Jho have some new Dragon Element Tricks...

Starving Deviljho: the Design is Amazing! The Longer Spikes and the Golden Color looks great, however the Longer Fangs are kinda weird... This Monster is Just an Empowered Frontier Savage Jho... So we cannot say too much...
