Tigrex: Meh. A cool monster to be sure, but he'll never be one of my favorites.

Black Tigrex: If this is a MHP3-only monster, will we ever know it's English name? If not, I think it'll be the first monster to be forever known as "XXX Subspecies".

Nargacuga: I've said this before, but I'm pretty much in love with Nargacuga. She's elegant, quick, beautiful, and just plain epic. If I didn't like Plesioth so much, she'd be my absolute favorite monster.

Emerald Nargacuga: I understand why nobody seems to like this one, but I think he's kind of neat. Then again, I adore any green monster.

Rare Nargacuga: Now this is a great monster. Capcom just took my second-favorite monster, colored her silver and gold, and gave her toxic tail spikes that go flying with every twitch of her tail. Awesome.

Barioth: Ahh, the Nargacuga of MH3. Wonderful design - he really sums up the sheer diversity of Monster Hunter. I mean, where else would you find a saber-toothed cat/wyvern hybrid? Where, indeed?!

Wind Barioth: I see what you did there, Capcom! It seems like every cold-loving monster has a desert counterpart, and vice versa. Copper Blangonga, Ice Barroth... see what I'm getting at? Now all we need is a Snow Hapurubokka.

As for the monster itself - the tornados are cool, but the monster is just as bad as Tigrex.

Gigginox: Another good one. A lot better than Khezu, to be sure - it uses the ceiling much more often, and has some pretty gross attacks to go with its creepy style. Eating you alive, for one. Spawning in the middle of battle, for another. I also love how agile it is, jumping around all the time.

Electric Gigginox: A nice Khezu reference.

Pariapuria: Awwww! Isn't she cute?! I would really like to see her in the main series - I'd personally give her a Rage mode (basically another Deviljho with combined with the meat-eating thing) and allow players to fight her underwater. Now THAT would be fun.

Supreme Paria: So bad-***, yet just as cute as the normal one. (Is it just me, or does the color scheme, her tail particularly, remind you of Odeibatorasu's color scheme??)

Dyuragaua: Yeesh. A cool monster (pun intended) - the design and battle mechanics look AWESOME, and I love how his wings are practically invisible for most of the fight, but... yuck. He needs to see a dentist.

Akantor: I am terrified of this monster. He's epic, and I really liked him when I first read about him on this Wiki. But my first Akantor fight is coming up on MHFU, and since I can't even take down a High-Rank Rathalos with at least one defeat, I'm totally screwed.

Ukanlos: Knowing that this guy's even tougher than Akantor doesn't make him look any nicer.

Odeibatorasu: Amazing. I love the whole sand mechanic, and his design is strangely nostalgic for me, as if he reminds me of something. I can't put my finger on it, though.

So we have Akantor for Fire, Ukanlos for Water, and this one for Earth. If Capcom makes an Air equivalent, that would be awesome.
