The point is, they all feel uninspired to me. Theres something about their design that I don't personally like. Main series MH games really haven't done that for me. But again, its my opinion. And yes I still feel that way aobut Lavasioth and Hypnocatrice.

Yea, some of them have interesting status effects as you say, but that make the presentation of the monster, to me, more interesting if their design is pretty bland or too over the top.
