User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Discussion of the Week: Elder Dragon-Level Monsters/@comment-4702773-20160326214342

1. Deviljho. The nomadic destroyer is my all-time favorite monster. That much raw muscle and uncontrollable dragon element fueled by a bottomless hunger, no man, monster, or even elder dragon is completely safe.

2. Unknown (Black Flying Wyvern) Its a spooky, scary Rathian. Just call it a damn Rathian. I'm so sick of this thing..

3. Of course! Elder dragons are only called such because they don't fit into any other classification and they are a lot more scarce. That doesn't mean that other, more common monsters can't be just as dangerous, or even more dangerous.

4.Gore Magala, and basically for the same reason as "Unknown". We know that it is a young Shagaru, so why is it "???" classified? Just doesn't make sense now that the Guild knows for certain that Gore is a baby Shagaru.

5. Laviente isn't an elder dragon? Why?

6. Shen Gaoren probably, just because its so damn tall, and the idea of being eaten by a giant hermit crab freaks me out.

7.Umm no?

8. Akantor and Ukanlos kind of remind me of the final threshold before Elder status. They basically set the bar of the absolute maximum that a monster can be before it is kicked out of its classification and becomes an Elder.

9. Deviljho versus Any Elder Dragon. And not because I think that it would win all of them. I mean, it could win some, but definitely not all. Pit it against Fatalis and watch them bite and blast each other with fire and dragon until either the Fatalis ends up in the jaws of the Jho, or the Jho finally succumbs to the fire and dies, then continues to fight for another minute or so. Or watch a herd of Kirin try to beat back a Jho. Jho tries to fight a Dalamadur, gets swallowed whole, and rips the Dala apart from the inside. Silly Dala doesn't chew his food cuz he a snakey. I just think that any elder dragon would have a tough time against this guy.
