User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Discussion of the Week: Zinogre Species/@comment-5020152-20171121185318

1) Normal Zinny is my fave. He presents a good, unique challenge without being completely ridiculous. I will admit that Zinogre is a great monster that's unlike anything else in the series, and his theme is pretty rockin'. Even his equipment is good, and good-looking as well.

2) Stygian Zinogre. The combos and Dracophage spam. Dear god, the combos and Dracophage spam.

3) I'd love to see a Fire-element or Blast-element Zinogre Rare Species. Maybe even Ice-element, which would summon ice spikes from the sky like Alatreon and cover itself in ice when fully "charged", like Zamtrios.

4) They made Stygian Zinogre worse, and Zinogre... well, flashier, I guess. I can't really say anything else about them.

5) See, the Raths have the excuse of being the poster boy/girl of the entire franchise. Zinogre is the flagship of one game. Big deal. Just cut it out with the Zinoverload already, Capcom.

6) YES. HOLY SHIT YES. WE DIDN'T THINK IT WAS POSSIBLE, BUT THEY DID IT.

Anyway, Great Jagras, Great Girros, and Tobi-Kadachi are fantastic-looking monsters (the latter especially). I don't mind if they're more reptilian than mammalian - I mean, Zinogre isn't exactly the most mammalian monster in the series either.

7) Inagami definitely should've been a fanged wyvern, since bamboo isn't exactly elder dragon material IMO. I can definitely understand why they made Eruzerion an elder dragon, based on all that fire-and-ice stuff it has going on. And I never thought Keoaruboru looked like a fanged wyvern in the first place, so there you go.

8) NO. FOR ONCE, GIVE US MONSTER HUNTER WITHOUT ZINOGRE.

9) Just because I'm sick of seeing this bastard all over the place doesn't mean I hate him. Zinogre is a legitimately great monster with good equipment, and he provides a really fun hunting experience. He's just getting very old at this point. Give Zinogre a rest and fill up that slot with either a brand-new monster or an old one that hasn't gotten love in a while.

... Like Qurupeco. Just a suggestion.
