Hmm... I agree hes a really bland monster, but I don't think hes the most unoriginal monster ever made (people forget about Giadrome).

His design with the mud armor made him look much more different than Lavisioth, but once you take it off, dissapointment ensues.

Surprisingly, hes much more harder in the real game than in the beta. His charge can take 1/2 of your hp when you first fight him and he fully utilizes the mud mechanic to the best of his abilities to screw you over. It's not like they took Lavisioth, made him brown and gave him the same moveset. Jyura remains most of his fight submerged, giving the feeling that your fighting an actual fish, something surely lacking within the past few games. Most of his moveset is somewhat original and actually bothered to give him unique animations, so I don't see how he's the most laziest monster ever made. I haven't fought Lavisioth yet, but by looking at some videos, the fight looks pretty different. So don't pretend the fight is 100% identical, cause you're lying to yourself.

And lastly, if he's the only water monster, why make all his weapons have pathetic sharpness? It's fustrating having to sharpen constantly knowing that a good chunk of monsters in the game are weak to water.

So once again, ok monster, doesn't offend me, has some things going for it.
