User blog comment:Lord Loss/Monster Appreciation Week: Purple Ludroth/@comment-5020152-20130331163211

This guy in my opinion is much cooler than the regular Ludroth. He's mostly purple and grey with a deep magenta mane that makes him look quite vibrant. The poison's nice I guess, but as many people say, he's basically a Royal Ludroth that squirts poison instead of water. Not to mention that I thought "Lavender Ludroth" would be a much better name than simply "Purple Ludroth".

I love how his claws inflict Poison as well. I just thought that it was a nice touch.

His animations are a bit... odd. When he's low on stamina, I've seen him revert to the old MH3 Ludroth animation of standing on his hind legs and attempting to spit poison. He also has a different turning animation IIRC.

Also, I get the feeling that this creature is more primitive than the Royal Ludroth. For example, it has no complex social hierarchy and it dwells entirely on land, while the Royal Ludroth has returned to the sea in a similar manner to Nothosaurs in the Triassic period. Not to mention that it still needs moisture in order to live, like the first amphibians crawling onto land.

All in all, I love the Purple Ludroth, and I can't wait to fight him!
