User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Shogun Ceanataur (4th Gen)/@comment-26421638-20160923071243

I'm kinda disappointed by 4th Gen Shogun Ceanataur... In 2nd Gen MH Games Was more than fine, however, in this Game returns completely untouched (Except for Bleeding status and a couple of minor tweaks) looking it very old and outdated compared with other Monsters...

The Design is fine, a Blue Crustacean with pincers that can be extended turning into real sickles when is in rage, and another notable feature of this Monster are the various skulls (or shell) that carries on the back (With Gravios' skull looks better BTW).

I don't really like hunting this Monster, as I said before, in 2nd Gen was fine, but has been badly Revamped making it irritating to face with it, some hitboxes are weird and that instant-walking-weird-nonsense-forward charge makes it on of the worst Monsters to face in 4th Gen... And the addition of Bleeding ruins everything, forcing you to attack the Carapaceon on its back. It is not very difficult, but is irritating almost like Malfestio IMO.

At least the Equipment, much like in 2nd Gen, has always been good. Both the Weapons and Armor have a good design, the Weapons have good stats and the Armor offers a couple of interesting Skills and some pieces can be useful to make some Mixed Sets.

Overall: When I've discovered that Shogun returns in MHGen, I was really happy in a first instance, but after I've faced it once, I was really disappointed... Without any doubts, one of the Worst 4th Gen Revamps, This Monster really needed a good revamp and what we have today? A second Gen Monster that inflicts Bleeding! Nothing else! At least the Equipment remains good... Let's be honest: In 2nd Gen Shogun was only better than Daimyo, in 4th Gen is exactly the opposite!
