It seems to me that they told the Frontier team to make Seregios look more badasser and all they could muster was some kind of weird overdesigned digimon. Spikes everywhere do not make for compelling monster design imo.

I reserve full judgement until I see some more gameplay but to me Raizex is, by far, the blandest and most artificial looking of the new monsters. It just looks so anime. Also another Rathalos bodytype and god knows we don't have enough of those.
