User blog comment:Lord Loss/Discussion of the Week: Dragon Element/@comment-5020152-20140309203640

1) Dragon is probably my second-favorite element. It's right behind Ice, in fact. It's a very unique and cool-looking element (red/black lightning? Come on, tell me that isn't cool), and rare as well. When I look at a monster using the Dragon element, that feature alone makes said monster look SO much more powerful.

2) See above.

3) Dragonblight is a bit weird, but since every other element got a Blight in 3rd Gen, it's only fair to give the Dragon element its own Blight as well.

4) My favorite Dragon-element-utilizing monster? I have no idea if Shagara Magala or Dara Amadyura use the Dragon element, so I'm going with White Fatalis just in case. There aren't a lot of Dragon-element monsters to choose from, and I'm a fan of pretty much none of them.

My favorite weapon is the Alatreon Longsword from MH3 - the Dark Claw, I believe it was called. I also really like the Ashen Lao-Shan Lung Longsword from MHFU - I'm pretty sure it's called the Smolder Dragonsword.

And I agree that Akantor's weapons should have the Fire element - Akantor just looks like a Fire-element monster, much more so than a Dragon-element one.

5) Can't really think of anything, soooooo... yeah. Keep utilizing it in future games, I guess.
