User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Royal Ludroth (4th Gen)/@comment-4702773-20160812155814

Royal Ludroth is a staple in the Leviathan family. The first big, bad sea serpant that you fight, and an intro course to Large Monster underwater combat. I adore this guy! The design is pretty simple, yes, but it does the job. The crown is pretty cool, but I don't really notice it until it breaks. He has a few spikes protruding from his arms. Not a lot of spikes like the over-compensating Akantor. But enough to say, "Hey. I have spikes" The mane really tips the scales, pun intended. Gives him the majestic lion look, which is awesome in a sea dwelling lizard. My only problem is the tail. Since its the first monster in Tri with a cuttable tail, they kinda went full-on... tutorial color. It just screams HIT ME HERE WITH A CUTTING WEAPON AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS. The color fade looks good on the smaller females, but on the Royal, it just seems out of place. And if I had a zenny for every time this guy had shot me full in the face with a mucus blob, I could retire from hunting and take up... hunting. He attacks spastically and without much indication. This guy has always been able to catch me off guard, and this is going on the 4rd game he's been in. The armor is.. a coat. The G-Rank armor is a saiyan. But we don't have to worry about G-Rank anymore. What a relief!! *sarcasmsarcasmsarcasmsarcasm*
