You can't have all the monsters having cool, attractive designs, it's not natural. It's like going around looking at fish and saying, "Oh the Humphead Wrasse looks cool." No. It doesn't. It's ugly, you know it, but that's how it is. Sometimes it's good to have some odd/'interesting' looking monsters in the mix. Myself, I really like interesting designs; it makes it seem more mysterious in a way for me. You also say there isn't a single original element to it at all. Sure, it may be a leviathan. There are other leviathans, fair enough. Sure there's crystals. Akura Jebia has crystals, fair enough. Sure there are monsters that share traits with that monster. But is there another monster with that exact combination? Nope.

"What a terrible design that is. Not onlt that, but there isn't a single original element to it at all"

"Capcom, your streak of cool Frontier monsters is officially broken."

If you decide to disagree with my opinion above, I guess this monster's original point is its 'ugliness' then.

"...but if they're doing what I think they're doing, then this thing is gonna copy moves and animations right off of the main series Leviathans. "

I wouldn't be surprised if it rips off Lagiacrus' moves and animatinos. Since, oh you know, they're the same monster type (assuming this monster IS a leviathan). Oh my god Pariapuria charges at the monster similar to Tigrex. He must a rip off. Oh my god Espinas tail whips and shoots things at you just like most monsters in the game, he must a rip off. If you're complaining about basic moves and animations being 'ripped off' there's a problem here since it's been happening since the beginning. It's simply a common trait among other monsters in their category. If Lagi's signature moves are directly ripped off, then yes I will be disappointed. But if they do hopefully there will be some kind of variation. At least this thing can't swim.

If you decide to disagree with everything I say here, that's fine. It's a discussion after all and I just thought I'd like to share my two cents here. Anywho I'm looking forward to seeing this new season, no puns intended.
