User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Barroth (5th Gen)/@comment-7584137-20180225191643

Oh, Barroth, how I´ve missed you!

Seeing this lovely beast once again brings back some fond memories. As a monster from the generation that really got me into the series, I will admit that a good part of my appreciation for it comes down to personal nostalgia. But, even when I put that nostalgia aside, this is still one good monster!

As the first Brute Wyvern you face, it´s neither the strongest nor the most impressive. It doesn´t have any outstanding abilities or attacks, as the fight with it is a generic "bullfight" battle. But it still proves to be one deadly opponent if you don´t focus! This monster doesn´t just sound like a train, it hits like one too, especially when you first face it.

Overall, I´m happy to see our mud charger back, even if there are no major changes in it´s attack pattern. It was good back in the 3rd generation, and it´s good now.
