HYPNOCATRICE (SQUEEE!!!!):

Concept: I love it. An eccentric, exotic, sleep-inducing bird wyvern adds a breath of fresh air to an otherwise boring class of monsters. 9.5/10

Design: He's like a walking fiesta. All three variants are bright and eye catching, with great color schemes on the feathers and beaks. The tail design is interesting, and the head design, with the unique, three-pronged lower beak and curving upper jaw is very nice as well. The simplistic wing structure is unique from many wyverns three-fingered wing membranes, and Hypnoc's almost look like bat wings, which looks interesting when attached to the body of a colorful bird of paradise. 10/10

Gameplay: He's a little on the easy side, and he only has a few exclusive attacks. In MHFU, that is. In Frontier, Hypnock packs a slew of all-new moves, and the HC Bright and Azure versions expand this move pool even more. 8.5/10

Equipment: Hypnock's weapons are attributed with the rare and valuable sleep ailment, although they aren't amazing damage-wise. The armor is reasonably strong, but becomes outdated pretty quickly. 6.5/10

Overall: An exciting, exotic monster. He's a blast to fight (In MHFO), has a great concept behind him, and is executed marvelously. 9.5/10
