Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure Dala is the largest monster in the MH universe? Or is Raviaete? I'm sure its really close. Either way, I adore Dalamadur. One of those monsters that gives off the "this-dragon-can-destroy-the-world" vibe that the franchise likes to 3x hammer charge you over the head with. This giant snakey sonofajag is a personal favorite. A lot of people complain about the HP. But when you're fighting a MOUNTAIN, a long fight is expected. Especially since there's no cannon or dragonator to help you. I really like the design, and the sounds he makes. The "roar" he makes isn't low or imposing or high like a Fatalis, but more like a hiss. A giant, mountain sized hiss that's echoing across the land. The fact that the fight takes place in several places on the map is awesome. The head looms, the chest vents extreme heat, forearms sweeping and tail bashing, all while blue, mystic meteors fall from the sky. Love it, every minute. Even having the basically stop the fight to get to that damn Shattered Omen before it breaks. The G-rank armor is... confusing? Its made for swapped sets, right? I dunno. I used the shah armor with Schwarzschild as my go-to just because it looks awesome. And wellness, cuz wellness. And the maxed weapons each bearing a piece of almost like a tome, telling of the Shah's creation of the world. Its the little details like that. All in all, This monster snake is a win in my book, just because it gives you a serious case of "The guild sent me and three buddies to fight THAT?" which are some of my favorite parts of the MH series. Sometimes you just need to bring down a giant snake diety to brighten up your day.
