"...I'm sorry, I just retched thinking about that monster's face. Seriously, you'll be doing it a favor..." - Third Fleet Master

"This is sort of an odd request but there is a birthday party coming up this weekend and we're in desperate need of balloons." - Chief Ecologist

Paolumu gets ZERO respect in-game, apparently.

I've gotta agree with the Third Fleet Master, though. Paolumu is probably my least favorite monster in World. The gameplay looks interesting, but only when he's fully puffed up - otherwise he's just a Yian Kut-Ku or other simple wyvern. I hate his roar, it makes him sound like he's choking horribly on something. Above all, I hate his design, which is highly reminiscent of the Khezu (except with a squirrel face, which is arguably worse). The only time we get a reprieve is when he puffs up, in which case he goes from Penis Wyvern to Ballsack Wyvern. No matter what, this poor thing is an eyesore, so please kill it quickly to end its existential suffering. Fortunately, our girl Legiana can usually be found hanging around the Coral Highlands and is more than happy to give this thing a proper thrashing.

... The armor looks nice, at least.
