1. Normal Zinogre. It presents a fun challenge without being too annoying or diifcult, and it had a pretty unique concept at the time of its creation.

2. Stygian Zinogre in terms of gameplay, and Howling Zinogre in terms of concept. Stygian's cool and all, but the combos and Dracophage Bug spam can be a real pain in the ass to deal with, and Howling has no real explanation as to how it came to be and is a bit too flashy for my tastes.

3. It's both a flagship monster and immesely popular in Japan, so definitely yes. I'd like one that controls Water, if only to fit the theme the wyverns have going for them; vanilla Zinogre is mostly modeled after Raiju, but has a few elements of Zeus in it (not to mention that its original English name was Zeograth, which is a combination of Zeus and wrath), and Stygian Zinogre is modeled after hellhounds and is named after an area in Tartarus, Hades' domain, so why leave Poseidon out of the picture?

4. As if regular Stygian wasn't bad enough, they had to make it worse with Severe Dragonblight, more devastating combos, and more Dracophage Bug spam. I don't really mind their version of the vanilla Zinogre, however, since it's nothing out of the ordinary by that game's standards.

5. Yes, mainly because it was the only Fanged Wyvern species prior to World and had over four variants.

6. OH MY GOD, YES. It's abou time we had a new Fanged Wyvern that wasn't a Zinogre variant.

7. Keoaruboru didn't really strike me as a Fanged Wyvern, so I didn't mind its Elder Dragon classification too much, but Inagami and Eruzerion not being Fanged Wyverns made me salty due to them being a near-perfect fit for that class.

8. Not really. I love Zinogre, but it needs a break because its frequent appearances are getting old.

9. See above.
