Lagiacrus Rare Species would definitely be my favorite, followed closely by Agnaktor Subspecies. Lagia Rare is pretty much everything Lagiacrus is, only with 100x more awesomeness in every category. I'm seriously stoked to face the electrical monstrosity. I just recently fought Agnaktor Subspecies in MHP3rd HD, and I was very impressed how they made him work in the Tundra in comparison to the "normal" species at the Volcano.

The dark electric attacks from Lagiacrus Rare Species are without a doubt the coolest attacks from any leviathan thus far.

I love questions like these... if I could design a leviathan. It would be a swamp based Leviathan, with the idea of it using various gases in an offensive, or defensive manner. Swamp gases are usually rather volatile, lot of methane and what not... so it could expel such gases, TO CAUSE EXPLOSIONS! ...somehow... or possibly an array of status effects. That said, this leviathan would probably have a somewhat amphibian look to it.

My favorite leviathan-based equipment will no doubt come from Lagiacrus Rare Species... yeah, you probably saw that coming by now...

Overall, I feel Leviathans have contributed greatly to the series. With underwater battles, they added a whole spin on combat. Agnaktor (and its sub) offers intense battles on land utilizing his own unique gimmick, and Nibelsnarf is just all sorts of silly fun... I mean, really, you can trick him into bigass bombs... and you can "fish" him out of the sand. That's gold.
