User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Yian Garuga(4th Gen)/@comment-7250937-20150810054126

Yian Garuga is my 3rd favorite monster in the whole series right behind Gobul and Najarala. I've always loved his design (totally not because it reminds me of Ridley) and his fight. He fights like a Rathian but much faster and more deadly, and in 4U Capcom made him even more feral than he used to be. Ever since MHFU he's been my go to monster for when I'm bored and I still get a kick out of hunting him, especially in level 140 guild quests (dem one shot pecks yo). His armor set is one of my absolute favorites in the series both skill and design wise, and his pieces are great in mixed sets as well. His weapons are pretty good too, huge fan of the Dual Blades, Light Bowgun, and Bow. I really enjoy his battle theme too, it stands out for being both unique and terrifying. Overall a fantastic monster and one that I'm very glad returned for the 4th generation.
