WOW

So the one day I have zero internet access is the day Capcom decides to drop the Rare species bomb on us, and it looks like they saved the best names for last. Lemme just leave some comments on each one, as per usual:

Ivory Lagiacrus: Yeah, we all saw this coming, sure, but it's still a great name. Highlights the rarity and splendor of the monster itself.

Abyssal Lagiacrus: They actually used a fan name as the official translation TWICE in one game (The other being Steel uragaan), and for that I am very grateful. it really is a badass name, couldn't have done a better job if I tried.

Lucent Nargacuga: This one is both unexpected and pretty much spot-on perfect. Lucent is defined as either being translucent, which sums up its invisibility gimmick, and giving off light, which it most certainly does with its moonlight-reflecting lustrous fur and hide. A wonderful job here.

Hallowed Jhen Mohran: I was so certain that they'd use Crystal Jhen Mohran, so this one kind of slapped me in the face. Certainly makes it sound a lot more legendary and ancient this way. Much like Lucent Nargacuga, it's totally unexpected and totally awesome.

Goldbeard Ceadeus: Thank you Capcom for not just calling it Golden Ceadeus. Though I still would have preferred Emperor Ceadeus, this one does a good job of making it sound both regal and old, which is great.

With amazing names like these, why oh why did they come up with Green Nargacuga and Purple Ludroth?
