User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Blangonga (4th Gen)/@comment-5020152-20160930151742

It's amazing how a monster can go from one of my favorites in Freedom Unite to one of my least favorites in Generations. He still moves around far too much, especially when enraged, making him basically the fanged beast equivalent of one of the 'dromes. And the improved tracking on his "Clothesline" attack is a good idea on paper but is ridiculously infuriating when you actually go to fight him. I can't even count the number of times I thought I was in the clear before Blangonga sharply turned in MIDAIR to crush my hopes and dreams (and spinal cord). And did anyone really ask for the ability to combo two Clotheslines together in High-Rank?

At least there are still a few good things about Blangonga. His roar is awesome, breaking his fangs is much easier to do now (and still eliminates the roar and Blango-summoning ability), and the animation of his Frost Breath attack is really freaking good.

Most monsters have a Hammer that's their head on a stick, but Blangonga has a giant pimple on a stick. That's just nasty.
