User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Diablos (5th Gen)/@comment-5020152-20180522002538

Out of the monsters from the original roster to make it into future games, Diablos is probably my favorite (although if we're talking 3U, then that honor goes to Plesioth). He's a Triceratops-headed wyvern that forgoes breath attacks in favor of pure brute force, and that's fantastic. I've always loved fighting him and his angry waifu ever since I got MH3. The digging is fun because of his weakness to Sonic Bombs, I've always loved his dissonant high-pitched shriek, and he's overall just a simplistic and incredibly deadly monster.

(Can't wait to finally fight the hellspawn that is Bloodbath Diablos in GU, too.)

The only complaints about Diablos in World that I can think of is his new digging animation (really slow and tedious). Also love how he's treated as the apex monster despite not being a predator.

Oh, and speaking of complaints I think Diablos is the best MAW in which to bring up my single biggest grievance about World - the lazy-ass weapon designs. As one of the few returning monsters to the game, Diablos had many good weapons in past games that you'd think were perfectly replicable for World. But instead, he gets new weapons that share the same design as the basic "Bone" weapons, except with random Diablos parts lazily tacked on.
