From a visual standpoint:

Best: It's really hard to say. I always loved the armor plating design on Gravios, and the Kushala Daora takes a unique spin on the archetypal dragon design. Even Rathalos is very well designed.

Worst: Bracchidios is definitely up there, with the awkwardly placed horn, goofy-looking punching animations, and what's up with that green slime all over his hands all the time? Not to mention the fact that he's almost entirely the same color throughout.

From a gameplay perspective:

Best: Jinouga. Easily. He's beautifully animated, totally balanced, has an interesting rage mechanic, and sports one of the coolest themes in all of MH.

Worst: A tie between Fatalis (Take your pick) and Kirin. Fatalis is stupidly OP, and Kirin just spams 2 attacks the whole fight.
