User blog comment:Lord Loss/Discussion of the Week: More Elder Dragons/@comment-26066195-20140629214706

Jhen Mohran: Definitely one of my favorite elder dragons. I love the concept of fighting it on a boat and being able to walk around on its back. Breaking his spine is pretty fun, too. Most of its weapons are pretty cool looking, with my favorite being the longsword. The subspecies is pretty cool looking, but I do wish it had more unique attacks.

Ceadeus: Another favorite elder dragon of mine, I'm one of the few that doesn't find his fight to be that bad. His weapons overall are pretty good, I really like some of their designs. Goldbeard Ceadeus isn't a terrible subspecies, but I do find some of his water beam attacks to be a bit annoying.

Alatreon: Not a huge fan of his design, but the fight more than makes up for it. Awesome music and a a very challenging battle, one of my personal hardest bosses in the MH series. His weapons are pretty cool too, despite how hard some of them are to get.

Dire Miralis: This guy is stands as being one of my favorite monsters in the series. Amazing battle theme and a pretty fun fight overall, much better than the Fatalis fights in previous generations. While he isn't too hard once you learn how to dodge some of his attacks, he's still pretty fun to battle and I love his weapons. Great design and very good stats.

Daren Mohran: While I haven't battled this guy yet since he's exclusive to 4th gen, he doesn't really appeal to me much. Other than being a slightly better Jhen Mohran, he does seem a little on the copy/paste side, especially since he doesn't have his own battle theme. I do like how you can climb on his back during the last phase of the battle, and his weapons look kind of cool to me, but other then that I don't really have anything else to say about Daren.

Dara Amadyura: One of my favorite elder dragons and 4th gen monsters. It's a giant snake the size of a mountain, what's cooler then that? I've heard a couple of MH4 players say that his fight isn't that good, but it looks pretty fun to me. Absolutely love the design and his weapons look pretty cool, pretty awesome battle theme too.

Shagaru Magara: Shagaru looks really fun to fight and I like his battle theme. From what I've heard his weapons are pretty good.

Kirin Subspecies: Not a huge fan of Kirin overall, but I will say that the subspecies looks MUCH better than the normal Kirin. Kirin was always a pain for me to fight, but the sub actually looks kind of fun.

Rukodiora: One of my favorite monsters from Frontier, his fight looks really unique, especially with some of his attacks using magnetism. His battle theme is awesome and his equipment looks pretty cool.

Rebidiora: While his design looks cool, I don't really have any comments for this guy.

Shanthien: One of my favorite monsters and elder dragons overall, Shanthien looks amazing to battle. Nearly everything about it just seems perfect, awesome battle theme, great design, unique attacks, etc. His equipment doesn't look too bad either.

Dhisufiroa: I absolutely love this guy's design and I'm a huge fan of his battle theme. As an actual fight though, it does seem a bit over the top. His death animation is pretty awesome, and his weapons look pretty cool.
