1. Which Zinogre is your favorite? Why?

I'd have to say the original. Even though the monster itself isn't my favorite, it's my sister's (which means I see it plenty, and have come to like it), and we got to know it as Jinouga. Originals also often have the most thought go into them since the creators don't know if they'll be a hit or not. 2. Which Zinogre is your least favorite? Why?

I would have said FFBE since it looks kinda eh, but I actually have to say Stygian. I love it's colors and whatnot, don't get me wrong, but fighting the thing is ghastly. It always somehow got the better of me in 4u, and I don't like to think back on those memories. 3. Do you think Zinogre will ever get a Rare Species? What do you think it would be like?

I'd say it's likely. Rare species always seem to be spikier, cooler looking, and/or harder as well as annoying to fight. They might even go so far as to change its element to spice it up a bit, which would be a little weird. 4. How do you feel about Frontier's version of Zinogre and Stygian Zinogre?

I never think too much about frontier monsters because their movesets make my eyes glaze over. I do, however, love the look of them. It's a shame that they're so overpowered, it just looks silly. As I said before, I'm not exactly a fan of Stygian. 5. Do you feel like Zinogre has been getting too many species like the Raths? Why?

Yes and no. The Raths are the flagship monsters, it only makes sense to expand on them. Zinogres are well loved puppos, and it's fun to see new takes on them. However, there is a point where making so many makes everything fitting together messy. Not good for lore. But hey, there are plenty of animals in real life with dozens of sub species! 6. Are you glad to see Capcom adding more Fanged Wyverns in the 5th Generation? How do you feel about the new ones so far? Do you wish they had more mammal-like aspects?

Of course! It's nice to have more balenced out categories so that a specific monster type doesn't feel out of place. The reptilian-like features are certainly different for the new ones, but I can see why they resemble fanged wyverns, so I'm not against it. I do wish there was one more that was more mammal-like, but that's just because i love mammals... 7. Did Inagami and Eruzerion (Maybe Keoaruboru for some) feel like trolls to you?

Ugh, yes. Inagami less so, but the other two seem to fit the description perfectly: especially Eruzerion! They need to stop making frontier monsters that don't make much sense. 8. Are you hoping that Zinogre will return in the 5th Generation? What do you hope Capcom changes about Zinogre if it returns in the 5th Generation?

Hm, it's tough to say for sure. I'd love to see it in good graphic glory, but I think that I break would also be good for it. If he does come back, though, I hope Capcom takes away some of its fancy moves. They're cool, but they seem more fitting for a mega agile creature like Barioth. <p style="font-weight:normal;">9. Do you love/hate the Zinogre species overall? Why do you love/hate the Zinogre species?

<p style="font-weight:normal;">It's more love than hate. I've always loved wolves, and so that naturally translated to me loving this thunder wolf. It isn't one of Capcom's most realistic monsters, but I love its color palette and sounds.
