I don't think there's anything glaringly wrong with Tobi-Kadachi. It looks good, with a seamless and natural design that brings some much-needed variety to the Fanged Wyvern class (although this would be true if it was a Snake Wyvern as well). It combines traits of reptiles and mammals in a really nice way. The patagium is a cool and unexpected touch. I also really like the smoothness of Tobi's animations, the way it moves and fights. I haven't fought it, but seeing it jumping around and climbing trees all while sparks are flying everywhere is delightful. I just wish its color scheme wasn't so similar to Dalamadur. From the oddly-specific color of its scales to the red eyes, Tobi looks incredibly similar to Dala and I feel like that undermines the appeal of its design. Another way its design is undermined is with the fact that Zinogre exists. Perhaps introducing another Thunder-element Fanged Wyvern when the class is so underutilized and the fanbase is yearning for new Fangeds was a bit unfortunate. But I don't mind that as much actually. Tobi is completely different from Zinogre. And we will surely get more FWs, so when that happens and more members, with different elements and designs, are introduced to the class I think people will forget how "similar" Tobi is to Zin.

Sure it has some minor flaws here and there but in reality Tobi-Kadachi is yet another neat little addition to MH and its ever-expanding collection of great designs.
