Well my absolute favorite of the flagship monsters is the explosive slime weilding theropod dinosaur known as Bracchidios. While lagiacrus and zinogre are close favorites bracchidios just has that unique,exotic,and lethal feel surrounding the species that I just love. The overall design of this creature just screams danger and the monster has the attacks and fighting style to back up its intimidating appearance. Bracchidios's weapons are among one of my favorites with their explosive properties that are quite useful against armored monsters like uragaan and agnaktor. Another characteristic about this theropod that I love is its position in the food chain as bracchidios are most likely apex predators. When playing tri g and watching the creature's ecology video I was shocked to see a bracchi fight on par with and kill an agnaktor a creature with the exception of alatreon,akantor,and guran mirasou an apex predator with little to challenge it. After watching that video I fell in love with bracchidios even more and it was amusing to see people cry about their precious agnaktor getting it's head crushed by a pissed of bracchidios. I truly hope that bracchidios will return in future monster hunter games because he truly is an awsome flagship monster.
