Alright karibou boi.

Fight's fun. Not too interesting, not much to talk about, but not terrible. Pretty fun to use a Hunting Horn on.

I like the "Repto-mammal" type designs, neat to see blends between things. Like convergence. And I like the (presumed) animal choice, quite fitting for a fridgid area.

And speaking of that...

Yeah, don't like how it can go wherever. Like, we've had plenty of monsters that can go to a wide variety of places, but for the most part, they seem to be more "standard", not looking like they'd be truly meant for one place, even if some look odd in certain places too.

But Banbaro is pretty jarring, like seeing a regular ol'Barioth hanging out in a volcano kind of jarring. I guess it kind of works in the AF, sort of. But anywhere else besides the Reach (and GL regions ofc)? No.

How does that even work anyway if it can't eat most vegetation very well without a hotspring? Same kind of goes for the for some reason retractable nasal horn, that thing is way too tiny to help much, let alone in a good position.

Oh well. Not everything in this series makes any sense, even in a skewed sense.

Oh boy Viper is next... That'll be a fun one.
