User blog comment:Lord Loss/Discussion of the Week: Brute Wyverns/@comment-5020152-20130114201534

Barroth: My favorite Brute Wyvern of them all. I don't know why, honestly. I like all of the Brute Wyverns, but Barroth sticks out for some reason. Maybe it's because he's the first Brute Wyvern I encountered, or maybe it's his habit of playing in the mud.

Bottom line is, Barroth's amazing. His roar's epic, too.

Jade Barroth: It's going to be odd fighting a Barroth without the Sandy Plains music playing, but I'm looking forward to fighting him nevertheless. I love his new attacks, and the larger head crown is rather interesting.

Uragaan: Oh, Uragaan. You were such a pain for me in MH3. Back then, I only knew how to use the S+S. Now, I'll be able to take you down with pretty much any weapon I want.

The chin is a great attacking method, and the little rocks he scatters are quite nice, too. I also like how his chin becomes a weak spot when you break it open.

Metallic Uragaan: I've seen videos of this beast, and it seems to have a bit different of an attacking style. The way he pounds his chin right after throwing down his rocks is nice, and the Soiling gas is kind of weird. Maybe he eats sulfur?

Duramboros: My second-favorite of the Brute Wyvern family, for two reasons. One, he's an herbivore, and any monster that enjoys his leafy greens is welcome. Two, he looks like a cross between a goat and an Ankylosaurus. The tail gimmick is great, and he seems to be a lot of fun to fight.

Rust Duramboros: Significantly worse of a design than the common Duramboros. Although I do like the pink, and I can easily see him chowing down on those stunted trees in Area 10 of the Sandy Plains, there's that awful tail literally weighing it down. I mean, that tail is ridiculously large, and quite clunky-looking when he moves it around. I can't see Rust Duramboros moving quite that easily with that giant axe dragging along behind him.

Deviljho: Never fought him. Don't want to. My least favorite Brute Wyvern based on design.

The way the fans talk, it's like this thing is invincible. That's another thing that I hate. I'm sure he's a hard fight, but come on.

Abiorugu: Now, this thing is really cool. He looks so dinosaur-like, much more so than the other Brutes. I love his tail attacks, they're pretty unique-looking. Based on design, my absolute favorite of the Brute Wyverns.
