User blog comment:Lord Loss/Monster Appreciation Week: Stygian Zinogre/@comment-17363190-20130902135655

While the coloration is a little extreme at first glance (essentially the two staple colors of a stereotypical "hardcore gamer's" tastes, black and red), that problem goes away pretty fast, especially since I had said the same thing about the original Zinogre (and Brachydios)' coloration for being a little too vibrant. In finally fighting both the original and this one, I admit he's a little easier than I'd've hoped (the original anyway) but regardless, Zinogre's coolnes factor is beyond undeniable, and it really does go doubly so for the subspecies considering how much more 'thematic' they managed to make him. I would hope they don't rely too much on subspecies for the Fanged Wyverns, because I think they owe it to themselves to introduce at least one or two new ones. I think I fire-elemental lion would instantly become my favorite monster in the entire series (no, I don't consider Teostra enough of one).
