User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Molten Tigrex/@comment-16331478-20160124173330

This guy is super fun, I must admit. While blast is a weird choice for a Tigrex rare species, it works surprisingly well. This guy takes everything good about Brute Tigrex and makes the fight a lot more intense. Don't be fooled when you first fight it and it looks slow as hell. After that second rage, Molten Tigrex will go absolutely nuts, which  is part of why I love fighting it. The equipment is also really good, sporting one of the few Wide Lv5 Gunlances in the game (which is my favorite shelling type). It's a bummer that you need awaken for the blast, but the weapons are great even without it. The armor is also pretty good, pretty much being a better version of Tigrex Z, although I'm not a huge fan of the design.

Overall, this guy is one of if not the best rare species, and I would totally dig a Lucent Nargacuga+Molten Tigrex quest in future installments.
