Definatly the worst new monster. Najarala is more annoying than most other monsters even as far back as 1st gen. Exceptions are Emereld Congalala and Bullfango. Reason for this is he is designed to use the most annoying things monsters can do. Paralasis, loud noises, trapping you in his coils. The paralasis is evil, right before his most powerful attack, really? The trapping woudn't be so bad if he didn't spam it so much.

The worst thing about this fight is how it can be conteracted easily using cheap tactics and skills. Grab a greatsword and go drawstrike on his foot. It is so weak he will fall over in a few tries. Maybe even one. Earplugs would make this much easier too. And paralasis negate. And (oddly) constitution as it now increases dive distance. I have taken to carrying bombs to set when he coils me then kicking them to blow myself up, hopefully landing lying down and invincible.

The shame is that people have wanted a snake like monster for ages, and we end up with the most annoying thing in the whole game. Najarala looks cool I guess, and has good equipment but I still don't like it at all.
