He's... okay. I do kinda like the crocodile-wolf aspect of his design, and he's one of the faster monsters from what I've seen. And the equipment looks fantastic.

Other than that, he doesn't have anything special going for him. Bleeding isn't new - although I should at least mention the fact that not very many other monsters use Bleed - his gimmick of using raw meat to go Super Saiyan makes no sense (unless there's some kind of natural chemical in the meat that boosts adrenalin or something), and the other aspect of his design is disgusting. I'm normally a big fan of creepy monsters - Gigginox, Vaal Hazak, and Baruragaru are all winners for me - but Odogaron makes my skin crawl. I get that they wanted a skinless zombie dog for the Rotten Vale, and yes he does absolutely fit in, but the lack of skin and the repulsive "extra-feet-underneath-his-feet" thing really puts me off.

I do enjoy how aggressive he is to other monsters, though. Especially when he gets too big for his britches and tries to challenge Vaal or Deviljho, only to get swiftly put in his place like the mutt he is.
