User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Azure Rathalos (5th Gen)/@comment-3298463-20180707153303

I think this might be the worst monster in the game because it takes the most annoying aspects of regular Rathalos (who I think is greatly improved in World compared to its earlier incarnations) and multiplies them by a million. Endless combos, instantaneous attacks and never ever touching the ground after it takes off make for a fairly enraging battle. Thank god throwing flash pods is much less cumbersome now, but after the nerf I'm not touching Tempered Azure Los with a ten foot pole.

I do think it looks very nice though.
