Pretty cool monster, and quite fun to fight. My main issue is how insanely easy Astalos is compared to the other Fated Four. I don't think I ever got hit on my first hunt, and the attacks do very little damage when they do hit, even at high-rank. I know MHGen is easier than most other games in general, but Astalos really stood out as being too weak for the time you fight it.

That being said, I did find Astalos to be the most irritating of the four in the two village quests where you hunt all four. Not sure why. Anyway, I look forward to seeing what new surprises G-Rank Astalos has in MHXX.
