User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Uragaan (4th Gen)/@comment-26421638-20161021134502

My Most-hated Brute Wyvern (Along with Jade Barroth, but at least I really like Normal Barroth) and I've a plenty of reasons to hate Uragaan... However this doesn't mean that is a bad Monster, it has a couple of interesting things and I'm fine with its existence im MHGen... Is simply... A Monster that I cannot like, that's it.

The Design would be fine, if wasn't that looks fat, for that ridiculous smily face and the Peter Griffin chin that uses as a weapon, I've preferred to see it with an Akantor/Tetsucabra-Like Chin with a couple (or more) developed fangs. At least the brass-like skin and the "blunt spikes" that covers the top of all his body are a good idea.

I don't really enjoy fighting this Monster for one simple reason: all chin releated attacks: they are fast and I don't understand how the chin smashes hits you even if you're under its belly, that's weird. And of course the tough chin (much like every Monster with a tough head) can be annoying sometimes, at least if you break the chin it turns soft and becomes one of the main weakspots of Uragaan. On other hand, I like when it rolls, sure, it may be not the easiest attack to evade (unless if you use Adept) but is always great to see a big Monster moving fast like this!

In 4th Gen, due to different environments, it lost the possibility to roll around all the area (area 6 of 3rd Gen Volcano), but, as BannedLagiacrus already said, is capable to fling a single rock if you're on a wall or an higher place... That's OK, but it needed more environmental based attacks, I wish that have the possibility to climb up on walls or to fall down from a cliff when Uragaan Rolls.

Never liked it's equipment, even if technically is ok... The Weapons can have a great potential if combined with good Skill and if you focus on Raw Damage, in terms of Design I always liked the Bow and, especially the GS (one of the best looking GS IMO). The Armor looks weird, but in HR, it offers acceptable Skills, making it an good equipment for 5~6 stars Hunter Hub quests.

Oh... Yeah... I don't like Uragaan, I don't care about Pumpkin and "Watermelon" Uragaan from MH Explore, I Don't like Steel Uragaan and of course I don't like Crystalbeard Uragaan (but let's wait for the dedicated MAW for the Deviant), however, I was quite impressed about Frontier Uragaan with a couple of great new moves!

Overall: I cannot accept the idea that this Monster is supposed to be the 3rd Gen Gravios, I don't like too much the Design, the Equipment and, most important, I find it quite annoying to fight. At least isn't completely a bad Monster, it has a couple of good things making quite interesting even if I'm not a great fan of this Brute Wyvern. This is one of the Few Monsters that goes in my list of "Monsters that I don't like, but I still want to see in a Next MH Game for some reason".

Gravios >>>>> Uragaan   I know, Gravios is not a Brute Wyvern and is even not that original, but Is better than Ura IMO
