Welp. Late replies ftw.

Of course spiders aren't insects. Assuming Neru is an arachnid anyways. Because like all of you know, even if he looks like one, he has some obvious differences from spiders. That doesn't matter, though - Many Neopterons have differences from insects as well.

The reason why I think Neru should be a Neopteron is much "simpler", let's say, and it is because of gameplay. Gameplay-wise, he's kinda similar to big Neopterons - Specially Aruserutasu (When he's not flying of course). They share the same model, some attacks, same death animation, etc. Of course battle-wise they are very different from each other. To me it is kinda similar to Lagiacrus/Ludroth - Gobul, if you get what I mean. They are very differents in some aspects, very similar in others; yet they both have their very own fighting styles (much like any other MH monster). Same with Aru and Neru. The former prefers the air, the latter prefers slaughtering you in 3465 different ways.

So yeah I understand your point but IMO it would be better if Chelicerata was a sub-class (like pseudowyverns or raptors) instead of being a completely separated one. Because we don't need more mono-monster classes.

Hope you understand now. If you do, great; you get a cookie. If you don't, it's ok as well (matter of opinion), but I won't continue this argument just because I'm not in the mood for it. So that's it.
