Who would win in a fight? Four G-rank professional monster slayers... or one angry horned boi?

First of all, Bloodbath's in-game description is easily one of my favorites, right up there with Dreadqueen's, Stonefist's, and Nightcloak's. The Deviant system might be pretty questionable for the most part, but holy Fatalis on toast, their flavor text is so over the top it's amazing.

Bloodbath's equipment also looks fantastic. I'm definitely going to have to make me some of that - even though Bloodbath is probably the only monster that scares me more than Alatreon!

Gameplay-wise, Bloodbath is probably the best Deviant out there. He's got so many new moves, combos, and behaviors that make him completely different from regular 'blos. My absolute favorite part of the fight is when Bloodbath GOES BEYOND - his whole appearance changes, the veins start to pop out and glow as his blood literally boils, the music speeds up to give an intensity that instantly makes you sweat with anxiety, and good god, the sound design is absolutely incredible. Bloodbath's normal roar is already a scarier version of what normal 'blos has - just like all Deviants - but Plus Ultra Bloodbath's roar sounds more like a friggin' explosion going off. Not to mention his signature move, the Steam Crash, which has probably the most terrifying sound effect I've ever heard for an incoming attack. It's all like CHWAAAAAYOOOOOOAAAAARRRRR *CRASH*. Absolute nightmare fuel.

Yep, Bloodbath's all about blood-pumping, adrenalin-fueled fear. Together with Valfalk, this bad boi is a fantastic flagship that I'm greatly looking forward to challenging myself.
