User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/ Monster Appreciation Week: Diablos (4th Gen)/@comment-26421638-20160507085806

One of the Most iconic Monsters of the MH Series, our "loved or hated" Horned Demon from the Desert... Yes... Time to talk about Diablos!

This if one of the Few Monsters who my Opinion changed with the Ages, before 3rd Gen I really hated this Monster, but with 3rd Gen it got an interesting Revamp making it way better... And then Returns (sadly only) in MH4U... Although I Prefer Monoblos for Diablos, I still like Diablos a lot... If I like Monoblos why I shouldn't like Diablos?

I always liked the Design, The Horns are impressive and the Hammer like Tail is a nice touch, and with the 3rd Gen Revamp the Diablos became more darker looking more aggressive... I Prefer Monoblos' Design because is Reddish and Bigger, but I've nothing against Diablos Design...

The Only Negative side of the 4th Gen Diablos is the Fight... I mean, it's not that bad, but 3rd Gen Diablos is a more Enjoyable Fight and was more various with the Attacks... Unfortunately 4th Gen Diablos is simply Charge, Charge, Charge, Dig, Random Attack, Charge, Charge, Charge and Repeat... This could bore some people, but not me... Personally, I find the Charge Attack a great chance to attack it's Head... Diablos Growls, Quick Attack in the Head, and Roll Under Diablos during the Charge... That's my Strategy against it... The New attack "Surface&Charge" Attack doesn't bother me too much, the first times I had some issues with that attack, but today is not a problem anymore for me... Another small issue about 4th Gen Diablos is to break/cut everything to this Monster, usually I can Break Both Horns, Back (easy to break) and Sever it's Tail, but if something goes wrong, It dies before you can break both horns or sever Tail... But that's not really important...

I wish that 4th Gen Diablos had 1 more Attack... The "Catapult Attack" or the "Sweeping Horn Uppercut" would be fine for me... But seems that Capcom have decided to keep those Attacks to Black Diablos, with I'm not sure if is a good or bad idea...

I'm not a great fan of its equipment, excluding for the Design of the CB, SA, Lance and Bow I don't care about its Weapons (Great Raw, but the Sharpness is really bad...), same for the Armor...

Ok... Let's focus on the three Honorable Mentions
 * One Horned Diablos: One of my Worst Nightmares back in Freedom Unite... It was more Difficult than most of the G Rank MH4U's Monsters, a Monster who could easily destroy you simply with its steps... Honestly I don't remember if was available in G-rank...
 * Apex Diablos: The Idea to combine all the "Blos" Attacks Sounds good, but Is still an Apex Monster, so I hate it...
 * Varusaburosu: seems a Crossover Between MH's Diablos and Diablo from the Popular series from Blizzard... I love it's design and seems a great Monster too fight... The Music and the Area unfortunately aren't the best ones...

Overall: Whether we like it or not, we should pay respect for one of the Most Iconic Monsters of MH... Although I Prefer Monoblos, I like Diablos too... I still consider 3rd Gen Diablos better than 4th Gen Diablos, but is still OK... And then I also love it's Ecology, and honestly, it's a shame that this Monster doesn't Return in MHGen... (Bring Back Diablos!)
