1) That is a very difficult question to answer. I love all four of them for their individual themes, but Glavenus' music is my favorite. I like all of their designs, but the one that really gets my attention is Mizutsune's. As for equipment, I like Astalos' the best. And in terms of actually going out and fighting them, Astalos and Gammoth are tied. So I don't really have a favorite member of the Elite Four.

2) Gammoth's music seems the weakest to me, although it's still hella good. I can't really decide on who has the worst design, so I'll leave that one open. I'm not too big a fan of Glavenus' equipment in comparison to the other three. For gameplay, Mizutsune is the most troublesome for me. So again, they're all pretty much equal for me, with their own individual upsides and downsides.

3) With all the stomping around she does, Gammoth could make a pretty good member of the amphibian class. (But no seriously, I think they're all perfect in the classes they're already a part of.)

4) Hoping for subspecies that switch their elements around. I'm talking stuff like a Fire-element Astalos with solar panels for wings, an electric Gammoth, an icy Mizutsune with bubbles of liquid nitrogen to freeze you instantly, and a water Glavenus in a swamp.

5) Meh. The Elite Four were a good idea for a celebration title, but they're probably just going to go back to the old "one-flagship-per-game" thing.

6) I'd say it's a tie between BTL Astalos and Hellblade. BTL for its vastly expanded set of moves (and those combos - RIP Stygian Zinogre, former Combo King of MH), and Hellblade just because its design is terrifying and for its cool combos.

7) Edgy Anime Mizutsune doesn't do much for me. I'm with Banned on this one - the concept is cool, and the fire bubbles are pretty awesome, but there's something about it that's just a bit... lacking.

8) Give Undertale Meme Mizutsune... I don't know, something. There's something missing that I can't put my finger on. Oh, and Hellblade needs some actual unique moves of its own that aren't just combos (although as I've said, the combos are damn impressive).

9) Not really. Zinogre continues to be the most overrated monster, and Valfalk might be an eagle with a jetpack but Glavenus is a DINOSAUR WITH A SWORD.
