Seltas would be good if it had a lot more health. It has less health than a Great Jaggi. As such, you can punch your way through fairly easely. Even if you keep getting hit, you can just keep attacking it and it will be dead in no time.

His attacks aren't hard to dodge either. The only interesting part is the def down status it can inflict.

I'm not saying I don't like this monster. To me it's basically what the Vespoid Queen should have been. It's a very well done and interesting monster. It's just miles away from being hard or interesting to fight. And I don't think it prepares beginners as well. Nerscylla seems more fitting of that role to me.
