SHOGUN CEANATAUR:

Concept: Nothing special. Basically a stronger relative of Daimyo hermitaur. The idea of it climbing around on the walls and ceilings does add a new dimension to the fight however. 7/10

Design: This one's on fire. The royal blue coloration with traces of black and purple contrast nicely with the gray shell. His flip-out scythe claws are badass, and his head design is top-notch. Kudos to Capcom's designers. Terra Shogun is even cooler looking, with a red-orange and black carapace with a pitch black shell. 9/10

Gameplay: Despite being tedious and extremely annoying due to the amount of times he digs, trips you, etc, he keeps the player on their toes the whole time. He's quite unpredictable, and a lot of fun to fight when he climbs up onto the ceiling. 7/10

Equipment (This is a new category I'll be using from now on.): Some great looking weapons with solid stats to boot. Armor looks badass, but the defense drop is a bit of a disappointment. That being said, the Shogun set is a great asset for a hunter's first fight with Tigrex, which is valuable in itself.

Overall: A really cool looking monster who hasn't been paid enough attention in my mind. He is fun, if tedious, to fight, and his equipment is of fair quality. 8/10
