User blog comment:Dracosaurian/Monster Appreciation Week: Lagiacrus (4th Gen)/@comment-26034899-20161029235714

Lagiacrus was already one of my favourite monsters to begin with (and was the very reason I got into Tri and Monster Hunter as a whole), and its Generations incarnation got a pretty sweet revamp in my opinion. Once at a disadvantage whenever it went to shore, it can now fight on par with the other land-based monsters, what with its newfound mobility on land and all those AoE Thunder attacks. It's one of the most difficult Thunder monsters in the game IMO, what with its massive range and power; kind of hard for me to believe that I get paid more to hunt this beast than the comparitively easier Astalos and Zinogre. Too bad underwater combat didn't return; it would have been great to fight the electric croc at its full strength, especially if underwater combat was reworked into something less sloppy. Ah well, I guess that's what happens when players refuse to git gud.

The only question I have is: now that Laggy's gotten so good on land, what's Capcom going to do with Ivory if it ever returns, since its whole concept a land-based Laggy is now obsolete IMO?
