Ah yeah, the Black Zin from the Tundra, ideal MAW for Christmas, lel. :p

I'll get to the point: this monster is a mixed bag for me.

Capcom couldn't make a monster more dark-looking than this thing with black and red color scheme. See, it's "2 d4rk 4 me". I like the idea behind the Dragon Bugs having a similar symbiotic relationship to that of regular Zin, but the whole red lightning litterally breaks the thing IMO. Oddly enough, the grey and black tones fit more together than regular's turquoise and golden, but it does not fit the japanese Ogre theme. That's something i don't really like; that across the games, the wolf part have been more stressed than the ogre part.

That and the gameplay is frustrating. Seriously, that G-rank Stynogre is nothing but a troll. Being constantly Dragonblighted is no fun, if you know what i mean.

However, a good point for him to me is his equipment, i pretty much like his weapons. I find the pink lights a bit odd, given the live monster has red lights, but whatevs, their zapping sfx are nice. And female G-rank armor got back the whole Ogre theme. Just that the helm is ugly. haha.
