Ah, Nerscylla... quite of an amazing opponent, I must say! It reminds me of the monsters I created for a book I was writing, the Rippers.

Giant spiders are among the most common "monsters" in fictional works (spideys are so misunderstood IMO...) and it always surprised me that a game like MH never featured one prior to MH4/MH4U. In fact, our dear franchise was always lacking in big creepy crawlies, but the 4th generation seems to be fixing that issue. Hopefully Capcom keeps this up and keeps delivering us big and nasty crawlers!
