User blog comment:Lord Loss/Monster Appreciation Week: Nibelsnarf/@comment-5043481-20130420220139

Nibelsnarf is a good monster, with a great concept. Even though the idea of sand swimming was dug up from waaaaay back in the very first MH from cephalos, nibel certainly comes out on top.

As far as the design goes, capcom have obviosly put a lot of effort in to make him look natural. For example, they gave him little lumps in front of his eyes to protect them from the sand. Unfortunately they diddn't realise this would make him unable to see anything other than the sky. Still, to see incoming wyverns, they might work.

Moveset wise nibel is varied and fun, with lots of things to do. For example, the bomb eating. Stangely, this doesn't seem to work all the time. Apparently you can sonic him too, but I have yet to do this.

The equipment is... Average. Not good, not paticularly bad, but lacking in power for thier rank. Apart from the names, they are not worthy of comment.
