Kinda like how Congalala is a large Conga with some new moves and Velocidrome and is a beefed up Velociprey with like two new attacks alongside Cephadrome being an oversized retextured Cephalos that has around 3 new attacks from it's previous descendant.

But King Shakalaka was a breath of fresh air (Name as many humanoid boss monsters in monster hunter as you can) and he wasn't bad of a fight at all!!!

Queen Vespoid was personally more annoying due to the fact she can give you defense down and made the vespoids more aggressive and aloowing them to do more damage, killing all the vespoids before she spawns aswell pissed me off.

Another interesting thing was that King Shakalaka aside from one Fiesta quest wasn't a main target in any Guild/Village Quest.
