User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Ukanlos (4th Gen)/@comment-4702773-20160305164538

Ukanlos, the White Chin. A monster so badass that it swims through mountains instead of going around them. The yang to Akantor's Yin. Ukanlos is a tank. A tank that moves really fast when needed, can swim through the ground, and has a shovel on it's face. Oh, and it shoots beams of concentrated water and ice. I actually like the design. First of all, Uka is a massive monster. And the streamlined look really works. The fight is pretty fun. Despite being a walking mountain, Uka moves very quick-ish while "swimming". I say quick-ish because Uka does this underground Jaggi-paddle that makes him wibble-wobble forward. Its quick, but i've never had a problem avoiding it. You just kind of fake him out and he wibbles past you and wobbles into your hunting buddy. Who falls down. Not like Weebles at all. The hind-leg Ice beam attack looks awesome. Really shows off that Uka is pissed off. Its almost like his moment of berserking. It looks like he loses all reason and just fires blindly around him. There's a lot of ice flying around during an Uka fight. Ice from his lasers, ice from the swimming, ice from the ceiling! Plenty of hazards to keep the hunters moving, which is great in my opinion. For weapons, I only have the Uka glaive, and it's pretty good. The G-Rank armor isn't horrible appearance wise or skills. Most people mix it in with Teostra armor from what i've seen. All-in-all, I really like Ukanlos. Alother good case of a giant monster. But wait.. Just one little thing... Can we just take a little peak at that High Rank armor? For the love of Gog, look at those.. can you call them shoulders? They start in the center of the chest, and then they just go!! I'm sorry, but that is just too ridiculous for me. That goes up there for worst-looking armor design of all time. Right next to the G-rank Jhen. Those tusks.. oh god those tusks.. what were they thinking??
