Here we have another monster done right. Bazelgeuse's first appearances in beginning High Rank is like how many players first experienced Deviljho in 3rd Gen. It shows itself as a Gravios sized monster that can expertly fly and does massive damage when you're not prepared yet. Even more scary is the fact that unlike Jho in this game, it actively invades into your monster fights and may attempt to do its signature bombing glide when you don't even know its there, reactions be abound.

I don't need to explain its concept as people have already explained it below for me. A Flying Wyvern that has its own unique moveset to set itself apart from the Raths and any other that came before in prior games.

Defeating it, though it wasn't as a challenge and triumph like my first Jho hunt in 3U, was still satisfying regardless.

There are a few flaws I find with it like any monster, like how its moveset, though unique is small. Most of the hunt is it just using that same head charge attack over and over again and on occasion using some others. The only thing I really dislike about it is when it gets heated scales. They drop off at random and can feel cheap at times. Also with a Great Sword, if you get the opportunity Bazel goes down easily by just concentrating attacks on the head or tail. I still however like it even though it can be easy once you're in endgame, a certain update monster really made me appreciate how balanced the base game monsters are.
