Time for the most mysterious final boss monster! At least he was until this crazy Mecha-Monster showed up, but i digress. Nakarkos, or Osutogaroa, whici I kinda liked better, is one heck of a monster. The two stage fight keeps things fresh, though I can't say either stage is very difficult. When its Hunter vs Tentacles, the fight is pretty simple. Lot of mucus flying, occasional charge attack, and some underground lunges. Its only when Nak reveals his true face that things get a bit more difficult, albiet not too much. With his head revealed, Karky gets a tad more aggressive. There are more charges, a LOT more attacks from the tentacles, and he sometimes does this thing where he goes out into open water and fires mucus cannonballs at you like you're suddenly fighting a squishy, bone covered galleon. When he's pissed, oh boy is he pissed. Suddenly, those innocent mucus streams he shoots out his arms become Dragon Lasers. Yeah, he fires his lasers, and he does it often and with a strange, circularly patterned accuracy. When you REALLY piss him off, those two lasers get traded in for one massive laser fired from his beak. Its basically the bijuu bomb of Monster Hunter, and it hurts like hell. His death animation is terrifying and sad and awesome at the same time. The reason being is because upon death Nakarkos, literally past the point of no return (The final threshold!!!) still musters enough Dragon element, which is actually directly harmful to him, and fires one last mega laser in an attempt to splatter the hunters across his domain. Now that is commitment. Well Done Osuto, well done.

Technically gets two armor sets, both of which are okay. I find it ironic that armor made from a creature that was a pro at keeping bones from breaking gets a negative skill that breaks tools more easily. Tools that are usually made from bones...

I really like this guy though. The games need more weird monsters. BTW the one concept art page, the one labeled 4, that shows Nak just using a Lagia and Uragaan as flesh puppets is really messed up. I'm glad they went with "Bone Puppets" over "Tentacle up monster bum" Good call, in my opinion.
