1) Taikun Zamuza is undoubtedly my favorite of the crustaceous lot. His first form is probably the best, because he simply looks so mysterious. In fact, like Shen Gaoren, he's got an ancient vibe about him - he's the kind of creature that awakens once every decade or so to grab a bite before going back to sleep. Rocks, moss, and fungi are growing over him, further strengthening the impression that he hasn't moved in a very long time.

Then there's the lobster-like second form and the electrifying third form. All in all, Taikun is probably the most dynamic monster in the series, just because of how differently he is fought each time. Not to mention all six of his soundtracks, which just help to radiate that feeling of suspense and mystery.

Close in second behind The King Crab is Shogun Ceanataur. The Shogun is absolutely brutal and has a vicious-looking design to match. When he gets enraged, the terrifying sound of his scythes unsheathing almost gives me heart failure every time, just because I know that the hunt can only go downhill from there. Such a difficult and challenging monster deserves to be brought back in MH4U.

2) My least favorite is probably the Daimyos, but not because I don't like them - just because they're simply less cool than the rest XD

3) I've always wanted to fight the Daimyos or Shoguns underwater. What a thrill that would be! But seriously, I really want an undersea Carapaceon, preferably something unique like a trilobite, sea scorpion, or pistol shrimp (not another lobster/crab).

4) I honestly really hope so. As I mentioned, the Shogun is terrifying and wickedly strong, making for a difficult fight that really keeps you on your toes. If you relax for just one second, you're finished! So yes, a MH4U fight against Shogun would be sensational, especially if he starts clambering around the walls and ceiling.
