Yeah, I don't like Najarala... I'm a Lance main so I don't mind the curl attack, but it has one big flaw and that's the weak point... It's so goddamn small. And when you're playing online you get 4 people hitting a tiny foot no larger than a small Altaroth... All at the same time. It turns into a tripfest REAL fast. Also the stun is not fun either. In lower ranks it is pretty much acceptable, but in G-Rank this thing just ridiculously flings those plates like, everytime it decides to move. So a fight against Naja just goes like:

"What did I eat...?"

"oooo spinning stars"

"WHERE AM I!?"

"Pecos everywhere!"

"Hohoho it's magic!"

"MEDIC!"

"Shall I die?"

"I am seeing double!"

...Or any kind of When Stunned shoutout you can think of. Yeah. It's retarded.

It's not that I think its design is good either. It's as dumb as the (G Rank) fight. Okay, snakes are cool, I agree. However, snakes do not have beaks. Why does it have a beak? Like you can stick a beak into a monster like Nargacuga and it will work, because it's a crow-panther thing, but a snake? Also it has those two completely random dumb-looking tusks that seem to come out of nowhere. And I am not a fan of those unnecessarily oversized neck plates it has. Najarala is just a plain ugly monster to my eyes.

And just to end the rant, what's with Lances and Paralysis? How come there's not a single decent Paralysis Lance in the game? Unless you find a good Relic Lance you're forced to use either Asclepius, which has very mediocre attribute and negative affinity, or (yet again) the crap-ass Gobulaluku Aquir, which has laughable raw and nonexistent sharpness. Capcom! Why do you hate Paralysis? Why did you have to troll the whole community by making the Crystalis awaken only? Come on! I know this is not really Najarala's fault, but it still pisses me off.
