User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Deviljho (4th Gen)/@comment-4702773-20160118231606

This son of a jaggi is my JAM! I absolutely love the Deviljho. Always have. Always will. He has a relatively simple design from afar. A green dino with a massive hump and a large (leech-like? I still don't really see how that became a thing) tai. Its only when you approach a Jho, abiet at your own risk, that you see the true majesty of the beast. First up is the chin. Large, spiked protrusions that may or may net be, you guessed it, more teeth for that drooling, rage filled MAW. Pun intended. Next, and even more noticable: the scars. Scars everywhere. Much like the indent in a comfy chair or the corrosion on a musical instrument, these scars tell a story. A very short story. Once upon a time, there was a monster that ate everything. I really cannot express how much I freaking love Deviljho. From my first solo Jho kill back in Tri with a Jhen SnS, to the tail/face clipping of the World Eater quest, the unholy battle that was Rage Match and Naked and Afraid. Savage Jho is an insanely fun fight that puts your evasion to the test. Apex Jho is just wow. That sucker never stops. I can't get enough. Now if only I could find a competent hunting party. Just a friendly piece of advice, you don't have to take that Jho-style shotgun blast of Dragon to the face. Just saying.. Just like how fighting a Jho is a gamble, the armor set is very much the same. Especially the Savage armor. Great defense, awesome skills, and oh.. Most of your elemental defenses are in the negative. Worth it? You decide. The weapons are generally good. The majority require awaken to unlock their very low dragon element. But the shapness is usually a decent amount of purple when fully upgraded (with sharpness+1?) and the attack is almost always above average. Add in that Attack XL and you're a powerhouse. The look of the weapons is very fitting. Deviljho's are powerful beasts, and not mkuch can be done to improve them. So, for the weapons, you just rip off a chunk of Jho flesh and put it on a stick of Jho bone. Add some teeth/spikes that may already be there and boom. You get what has been stated to be a powerful and still living weapon. As I stated before, the only bad part, in my opinion, of fighting Jho is the incompetence of hunting buddies. But its really just a matter of finding some decent hunters. THose getting killed by jho frequently just have to remember three things. 1. It's safest under his belly, by his feet. This is especially true for Savage, with that massive cone of dragon. 2. Evasion. Evasionevasionevasion. Learn to evade. Or get a lance. 3. Enjoy this fight. If you can evade even semi-well, then you can step out from Jho's stomach and enjoy the fight of your life. He's fast, he's strong, he chucks pieces of the map at you '''with his face!!!! '''If you can stare Jho down with a smile on your face, then you can consider yourself a true hunter. I guess what I'm saying is that I freakin' love Deviljho!!
