My absolute most hated ailment in MH is "soiled" (Ironic, as Pariapuria, one of my favorite monsters, inflicts it :/). It's a total pain in the ass. And since the Steel Uragaan has no new attacks, I can just fight the normal one without missing out on anything, all while not being soiled. Also, I don't see much resemblance to a crystal when I look at Steel Uragaan. He looks lustrous and metallic, like steel.
