User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Daimyo Hermitaur(4th Gen)/@comment-4702773-20151017160650

Daimyo has always been a favorite of mine. Mostly because the thought of giant hermit crabs attacking villages is just hilarious. And then, Capcom made it a reality. The design is pretty cool. You can't do much with the design of a crab monster, so the focus went to the shell. The Monoblos/Diablos shell is very cool. I'd just hate to meet the living Blos wyverns that those massive shells come from. Even Apex Diablos don't get that big. Attacks are quick and often. When he faces you, you dodge like crazy to avoid the swiping claws and jets of water. When he turns away or burrows, you run like hell and dodge, because you're about to get the business end of a fossilized Grand-Daddy Blos horn! The wimping is just the most gut-wrenching thing I've ever seen. Poor guy can't even hold up his shell. Gotta put him out of his misery now. The armor always bugged me design-wise. Of all of the strange armor designs, the Hermitaur armor just doesn't fit. Football? He's called the Daimyo Hermitaur? Nothing else came to mind for the design? Don't think I've used a Hermitaur weapon since Freedom. That GS was pretty useful for a time. I really wish Shogun had made an appearance along with Hermi. But that would mean little Cenetaurs in the volcano.. I guess that's a small price to pay to keep our volcanos crab free.
