Grimclaw (Aka Furor Tigrex) Is an Excellent Example of how a Deviant should be. This is another case were a Deviant of a Monster is way more interesting than its Subspecies. But I'm not sure if is better than the Rare Species.

Design-wise is one of the best looking Deviants: a bigger Tigrex, more developed,b lue claws and permanent red eyes; but its most notable trait are the blue colored head, wings, legs and tail tip filled with clearly visible blue veins. And of course much like any other Tigrex species, its veins turns red and man, this guy can compete with its cousin Molten Tigrex for the award "Best red veins all around the body!" (Even if in a few months, a new challenger named "Massacre Demon Diablos" will complete with them XD).

Fighting this Deviant is an experience that everyone should try it at least for once IMO. It is not "A Subspecies with two more attacks", this is nearly a new Monster! This Tigrex is focused on throwing boulders to you with many different ways: standard boulders, bigger boulders or even during a charge were it turns and throws a boulder to you losing its balance!

It burrows Brute Tigrex's trampling charge, but unlike the Subspecies it doesn't end the attack with a roar, it can do various attacks like (again) boulders toss, spinning attacks or even its stronger move. And we shouldn't forget the Super Roar too, with a wider gap between the two roars. Unfortunately the most annoying thing of this Monster are the Tremors that causes with some attacks they are really irritating. Its strongest move is potentially Deadly! Slams the claws on the ground and causes various yellow exllosive pillars, the patterns and the amount of pillars is various depending if is enraged or not or by the level quest: nice touch. I wish to see this Monster more often when not enraged. It changes a lot when is not enraged but unfortunately only a few Attacks are necessary for triggering this Monster, making it nearly Permaraged. Its Weapons rocks! They have a really good raw damage, good sharpness and even some Affinity! Well, this Monster offers, generally, one of the best weapons for each category! I've also noticed that they're barely different than HB Glavy Weapons: Obviously they don't have Blastblight Ailment, but GC Tiggy weapons have a bit more of Sharpness and Affinity! Oh Yeah, all of them looks amazing! While the Armor is probably one of the Best looking Armors of MH with customizable veins (also pure Fan-service in case of Female Characters) the Skills aren't bad themselves but isn't exactly a good way to combine them.

Overall: One of the most well done Deviant and without any doubts one of the most difficult Deviants to Hunt! Undoubtedly better than Brute Tigrex but I cannot Say if is Better than Molten Tigrex. Objectively I find Grimclaw and Molten Equal in a lot of aspects, but I prefer Molten even if Grimclaw is probably more original. Good Design, as difficult as original, excellent weapons! Me likes Grimclaw Tiggy!

Bring... Back... Molten Tigrex... in MHXX...         And... Lucent Narga too...
