User blog comment:Aandrew07/Discussion of the Week: Flagship Monsters/@comment-5043481-20120722175003

I think Narga is the best flagship monster as he is hard for first time, and so lives up to the status of flagship.

I hate the way that lagiacrus was nerfed in the first quest (the repel one). Also great jaggi features on the boxart of tri, but still, not really a flagship.

As For MHF1 I think garuga would have been a better flagship with his (almost) impossible urgent quest.
