User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Great Jagras/@comment-26034899-20180203222428

I have not played World yet, since I don't have any PlayStation or Xbox systems and am still waiting for the PC release, so all my statements about Great Jagras and others will revolve around what I've seen rather than what I've experienced, but let's cut to the chase. Design-wise, Great Jagras isn't really anything special, essentially being a giant iguana with dreadlocks, but it isn't bad, either, and the simple design is fitting for the first boss of the game. Gameplay-wise, it offers a fair bit of variety in terms of its moveset despite being the first boss, and it's dynamic in that it shifts between its standard from and its fat form, but other than that, it seems pretty weak, even by introductory MH boss standards; it's fragile, weak, and slow, and its attacks are predictable. So, kind of like Arzuros, except with less speed and durability coupled with more range and attacks. Equipment-wise, the weapons and armour look decent, and the skills offered are handy early-on, but like with any early boss, you're going to want to replace it as soon as you can. Overall, Great Jagras isn't really good or bad, but is just plain average as far as I'm concerned.
