Let me just start out my thoughts by saying what I know EVERYONE is thinking...

APCEROS IS BACK?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Ahem... anyway, I have a ton of stuff to say about this trailer. The first thing is that I'm feeling very overwhelmed by everything they've revealed. After months of silence, we get hit with a ton of new/returning monsters and new game mechanics all at once.

As far as the old monsters are concerned - I'm very glad to see that Diablos is back. He's kind of a staple to the series considering that he's appeared in every game except MH4. Diablos also seems to be able to avoid being stuck in a wall by going immediately into a digging attack. Cephadrome actually looks really menacing now, thanks to that little cutscene, and I have to wonder if it'll be able to control or summon Cephalos. Daimyo Hermitaur I think was a given, thanks to all the fans clamoring for the giant seafood dish's return. I think that new Pin attack looks really awesome too!

Now, the new subspecies.

Kechawacha Sub - A new pattern on its ears, along with a kind of armor lining them. The ability to spit fireballs. Both really cool. (Fire-breathing clown, anyone? XD)

Nerusukyura Sub - It can inflict Paralysis and do a double web vault attack. It has white skin (possibly Lagombi fur?). And is that a new area I see the spider being fought in?

Tetsukabura Sub - Explosive rocks? I smell Uragaan all over this one. It also seems to have a glowing, magma-like face pattern.

Zaboazagiru Sub - I think everyone called this one out beforehand! Looks like Cephadrome now has competition for King of the Desert Sharks. It also has the ability to spit a large blast of water and immediately deflate itself... water? Thank goodness it isn't something clichéd like more sand!

Generu Serutasu Sub - It has an interesting olive-green color, and very earwig-esque tail pincers that it can use to Pin (?) a hunter. And it can unearth an Aruserutasu from the snow?! What madness is this?

Garara Ajara Sub - Awesome on so many levels! Fought in the Frozen Sea, the most beautiful blue-purple-yellow color combination imaginable, and the ability to shoot water that... bounces?

And finally, the new Flying Wyvern. It seems to be like a combination of Rathalos and Tigrex, two of the most famous monsters of all time. The result is a very prehistoric-looking vibe. It looks like it actually preys on the Raths - so I guess the almighty reign of the King of the Skies and Queen of the Land is finally coming to an end.

Maybe this new Flying Wyvern is the flagship monster of MH4U?
