User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Barroth (5th Gen)/@comment-5020152-20180224160353

Even after all the crazy brutes we've gotten in the series since 3rd Gen, Barroth is still my fave. Call me nostalgia-blind all you want. This bulldozer was one of the most fun monsters I've ever fought in Tri and 3U, and was the monster that taught me to use the Hammer, now my favorite weapon. The mud mechanic was creative and awesome, I loved his colors, and I thought he just fit into the Sandy Plains so well. While Barroth no longer has the gorgeous orange-brown color scheme he did in 3U, he still remains the basic brute wyvern in World he always was. The only bad things I have to say about him is that they took out that awesome bellow he always made when he got enraged, and that his signature attack looks a bit slower and clunkier than before. I'd say the addition of the steam-train noise makes up for that, though.

I'd say Barroth looks as much at home in the Wildspire Waste as he did in the Sandy Plains, and it's so cool to see that he now has a rival in Jyuratodus. Barroth will always be a great monster, and I'm glad to see him back.
