Great Jaggi finally has competition for the title of Best Raptor. This guy is definitely one of my favorite monsters in World.

Tzitzi Ya-Ku (or as I call him, Paparazzi Ya-Ku) has such an awesome design, dark purple-blue with the Dilophosaurus/Cryolophosaurus-like head and the big frills, which look like really big eyebrows when they're not in use. He looks totally suited to a life stalking among the dark underbrush of the Coral Highlands, sneaking around and picking fights with gangs of Shamos. I find it amusing to envision a rivalry between the two, with the solitary bird wyvern sometimes winning confrontations and the little packs of fish-looking things winning at other times.

Unlike Gypceros and Gobul (and any other "flash" monsters I might be forgetting), the Paparazzi Raptor has his flash as his main gimmick and uses it often, and each flash, amusingly, makes a sound EXACTLY like an old-fashioned camera going off. Of course, everything else in the Coral Highlands except Odogaron is a flying wyvern, so seeing the Paparazzi Raptor strut up to flash them out of the sky is a godsend. Say cheese, Legiana and Basil Goose! *PAF*

Also, the event quest that awards a pair of sunglasses? Comedy genius.
