I don't have the game yet, but I can comment based on the Demo.

I really love how it has such an extensive move set compared to the raptors and dog wyverns. There are a lot of tells for his attacks as well, though I'm a bit reckless and don't bother dodging those small kicks, even if I should, as the damage stacks up quick. It does seem that the handicap it suffers once it's tail is broken should be a bit different. Falling while trying to balance and jump around on an injured tail makes more sense than falling after propelling itself forward. It's physical design is lovely, I really like the Green and Yellow feathers mixed with the Red face and belly.

As far as the armor design goes, it's alright, but it feels a little lackluster compare to the Great Maccao itself. Though it's not like any of the raptors/dog wyverns had particularly nice looking sets either, compared to the respective monster. The skill is nice, but I's not really worth it early on, compared to AUL on a certain mixed set.

I'll wait till I get the game and see the weapons to comment on them.
