As much as I really don't like fighting either of these monsters, you gotta respect the authority they have over the MH universe. With the exception of MH Dynamic Hunting (But lets just pretend that never happened), these two have appeared in every game in the series, and I expect them to stay with us through all of the rest. As far as design goes, both of them are really slick looking, very menacing. Capcom really sold the 'Lion of MH' concept quite well. I also like the whole Peacock/Peahen system you have going on with these two, it makes it more biologically credible and was an overall nice touch in my opinion.
