Shah Dalamadur... A Monster that could have a lot of potential... But entirely wasted... Although its Size, is one of the Most Useless Subspecies of MH. A former final boss deserves a better Subspecies than this...

At Least The Design is the Best part of this Monster and is really well done! Instead of the Black and Blue-gray Coloration, it shows a Golden skin and Fiery Red Spikes around its body. And that's absolutely magnificent! But all the positive stuff of this Monster are nearly ended...

The Fight is pretty much forgettable. Just take the Regular Dalamadur, add the lava pools, add more Tough parts (Another Apex Monster Wannabe) and a slightly different AI and we have its adult counterpart... A huge potential wasted, because this is not how to make Dalamadur's fight more funnier, this is how to make it more annoying.

I'm not a great fan of its equipment... While the Weapons have an Amazing Design, they need Awaken to get all of their potential, otherwise aren't that great... Except the IG which is a really great one... The Armor is horrible... Weird Design and not that great in terms of Skills... Only the Helm may turn useful for Mixed Sets... That's all!

At least you can use Shah Dalamadur parts to get Alatreon Stuff which you can use them to Craft Escadora EX Armor and that is a good Armor!

Overall: It's weird to see a former online final boss to get a Subspecies like this... Such a huge potential wasted so bad, I don't know if anyone agrees with me, but this Monster is One of the Worst Subspecies of MH. I'm fine with Regular Dalamadur, but this Monster is only worse in all aspects except for the Design, if you don't like Dalamadur, you with hate the Adult form. If Capcom wants to make in a near future a Subspecies or a Variant for a online final boss, they should do something of Better than this!
