User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Lavasioth (4th Gen)/@comment-26421638-20161217105615

Best Piscine Wyvern. I always liked Lavasioth since Freedom Unite, it was fine back in Freedom Unite and in MHGen it has been Revamped greatly, best MHGen revamp IMO.

This Monster isn't certainly the most handsome Monster, but it still has a good design, A yellow fish (for some reasons, it reminds me a piranha) with two legs and a body covered with solid black lava. Sure, I Prefer Plesioth in terms of Design, but Lavasioth is better on everything else.

Is also the Best piscine to hunt, unlike Cephadrome and Plesioth it has a wide movepool, and is also the least annoying Piscine to hunt since doesn't spend too much time in lava or underground. In MHGen gained a lot of new attacks, from a fiery Diablos like Tail Swipe (in FU didn't hurl lava chunks with this move), a "Backflip" jump chained with hipcheck/lava spit and, most importantly, a unique behaviour when it goes underground; spectacular when it jumps and hurls 3 lava chunks at you! The Sliding move is annoying, the only bad Attack of this Monster.

While the Weapons and Armor looks amazing, the Weapons are quite mediocre, the Armor Skills are completely bad.

Honorable Mentions: I Would like to see "Crimson" Lavasioth in the Main series and Aruga/Goruganosu seems really interesting with an original mix with Thunder/Ice Attacks.

Overall: Clearly the best Piscine Wyvern and also a great Monster that returned with great style! One of my favorite Monsters, and I'm really glad that has returned! I wish that Monsters Like Blangonga, Narga or Shogun got a revamp like this... But they didn't had the same luck.
