Finally beat IB, so I'm ready to start participating in these.

Banbaro is a pretty nice fight, and a nice tutorial to the CC. However, it is annoying how he's just always hovering you whenever you're hunting something else, although all of Iceborne's invaders are like that, I guess.

As for Banbaro being present in the New World as well as the Hinterlands, I actually kind of like it, and think that its fine in every case except the Recess (a non-native herbivore choosing to live in a volcano is quite literally "stupid Frontier" levels of ecology effort).

Overall, I think Banbaro is a nice addition to the series, and I wouldn't mind if he returned in future games (just not in a volcano please).
