Brachydios... I have mixed feelings about this Monster...

I Like it in terms of design, a Bipedal Dinosaur with an Obsidian Skin and Extremely Developed Arms... I Also Like the Shape of its horn and the mace-like tail... And this Brute have a strange mysterious slime on its body that can... BOOM! Explode!... Pretty Original... The only thing that I dislike of this Monster in terms of design... The Tail is too Short imo... I Like its theme music (not my favorite bgm, but I appreciate that) its Roar and it's entire ecology...

It's a Fun Fight, I should admit... A Monster that Punches Everything with a good mobility and the slime turns yellow when it goes in rage and is able to perform some dangerous explosive attacks... The only thing that I dislike to hunt this Monster... Is the damage... Boy... It hurts! Lucky Most of its attacks can be predictable... But sometimes is really difficult to evade it's attacks especially when you are in a corner... I Also hate the Jumping attack, itself is not difficult to evade (roll towards it when it jumps)... But I hate the half second delayed explosion... And sometimes Is really annoying if you're in a corner, as I said before... I've still need to learn how to hunt Brachydios, I'm not really bad, but a can do better of that...

I've hunt only a few Brachydios in 3U, but it seems that 4U's Brachydios is a bit easier imo... Frenzied Brachydios? I will never try to solo it! XD

It's equipment... Well, the Weapons have a good design (most of them) and the have... Blast Ailment! We all now how is Destructive the Blast Ailment! (speaking about Slime/Blast Ailment, it was nerfed in 4U?)... Never used it's armor, but it seems good... Especially the Raging Brachydios one... Very Popular among G Rank Players...

Overall: A Good Monster... Is Not One Of My Favorites only because I've need to learn how to hunt it exactly (with LS, I know is not the best weapon against it)... Is an Interesting Flagship Monster with Good Design and Theme and Equipment... However, even if I'm admitting that I'm not really good Hunting this Brute... It's a Fun Fight... But it Hurts...
