Rathalos is a boss, he's the king of the skies! I remember fighting him on MH1 and I was blown away, I was thinking this is the begining of a EPIC franchise.

Kushala Daora, although I never got to play MH Dos, Kushala is a great concept for a dragon with metallic-like scales and having to have to shed them, I always thought that look really pretty on MHF2 introduction video - my first encounter with Kushala like with my people.

Ahhh, the Tigrex... Soloing MHF2 was made diffcult due to a certain monster... not the elder dragons, but this demon. I've got to say though I love fighting him now, I've got to a point where sometimes I challenge him on the iPhone! He is a great monster despite the mile long hitrange on MHF2/MHFU.

Nargacuga, I love it! The ninja like armour hahah, his theme. And it's rage mode! It's black body, its furry! Lol and provides me of memory of fainting due to a tail slam and not expecting it.

Lagiacrus, muwhahaha the introduction of MH to Nintendo consoles! I gotta say I love underwater battles and this is the only monster that can provide somewhat of a challenge in that enviroment.

Jinouga, man this guy is cool, the theme, the design, the fight, HIS ARROGANT TAUNT! I only imported MHP3rd just to fight him and that was money worth spent he's a great addition to the MH franchise.

Bracchidios, although I haven't fought this guy yet, I soon will. He's pretty epic, going against all the other brute wyverns as he ain't got not stubby arms lol. And he has a strange design which makes him appeal to me as he also has a unique fight!

To be honest, I think all of the best monsters are made flagship monsters and must have something unique what makes them a flagship monster, I love them all. They bring back many hunting memories for me.
