User blog comment:Lord Loss/Monster Appreciation Week: Ivory Lagiacrus/@comment-5020152-20130512180457

I admit - I'm very intimidated by this beast. It seems that a lot of people use Hammers and Lances against it, and I'm not the best at using either when it comes to fighting Lagiacrus.

But that aside, it's a really cool-looking creature. The name suits it perfectly, and sounds quite beautiful as well. I also like how all of its equipment looks slightly different from the ordinary Lagiacrus stuff, unless I'm mistaken and the Lagiacrus Lance has that dragon-headed shield, too. In which case, never mind the previous sentence.

Anyway, Ivory Lagiacrus looks like quite a different fight than the ordinary Lagaicrus. I'm going to have to learn to be wary of those charging attacks, for starters, and the exploding thunder projectile attack looks ferocious as well. Something that really pleases me is how its Hip Check has two different endings - either turning 90 degrees like the regular one does, or not turning at all. I also really like how, although you fight it in the same regions as its blue counterpart, it appears in completely different areas that give the fight itself a completely different atmosphere.

I've heard that it's a tough fight as well - I think the Moga village Chief says that "Heck, it's in a dimension of its own! That Ceadeus you brought down? The Ivory Lagiacrus could eat it for breakfast!"

Or something of that sort. Bottom line is, it's definitely going to be a challenge for me to take down. But it looks cool, with the creamy whites punctuated by the deep blues. Thumbs up to this monster.
