I liked Azure Rathalos soundset back in MHF1, now it's kinda meh but I still like the colour scheme.

Brute Tigrex looks really dope but that Fus Roh Dah attack pisses me off often.

Green Nargacuga needs more attacks!

Ivory Lagiacrus is the definition of a good subspecies

Stygia Zinogre is the definition of a great subspecies

I absolutely love how Orange Espinas shifts the fight a little bit, the slow paced but dreading fear of trying to get up when it's charging either a nuclear blast or upthrust charge is a really good change from the fast paced fight against the regular Espinas.

Akura Jebia has a tougher hide (bounce off claws and head even with white sharpness), has an attack where it can fling blood crystals from it's cut off tail and a full 360 tail spin, I do wish it had more unique attacks but it's easily the most badass looking subspecies in my opinion (that knife crystal on it's head just looks so menacing) and considering how I love the Swamp makes me like this subspecies even more.

Doragyurosu had the changing AI removed? Guess that explains why I found him easier to fight than the regular species, I still like it for it's design, the dragon element and flinging boulders is a nice touch to it also, it also seems more widespread in location variety than the regular one which I guess emphasises something.
