User blog comment:Mckrongs/Monster Hunter 4 for the Nintendo 3DS/@comment-6050823-20130304232038

It's been two weeks since the Nintendo Direct Trailer,and I wanted to give my thoughts on 3 monsters.Those 3 monsters are Khezu,the snake-like monster,and the Manda-like monster(http://godzilla.wikia.com/wiki/Manda).

Khezu:So far it seems like it'll be doing things that Gigginox did in the 3rd Gen and,may share some attacks with it(Telling from it being on the wall).I know Khezu Whelps are injected into prey but,it would be cool to finally see one in a quest.I'm also wondering if Gigginox will appear with Khezu,and will possibly be fought with Khezu.

The Snake-like Monster:I was kinda expecting some type of monster based off Rattlesnakes from the Old West Theme and,wouldn't you know it they actually did it.I have to say it actually looks pretty interesting so far.Instead of just rattling with it's tail,it seems to use the scales on it's back and,some parts of it's body to rattle.I also find it interesting that the scales have a sonic bomb or roar affect(I'll make sure to make the Rathian set before I try to fight it),and respond by exploding when the creature roars(I think it may sometimes feed on Yian Kut-Ku when given a chance).One thing I should note is it's weapons seem to be able to paralysis monsters,so it maybe able to paralysis hunters with it's bite.

Manda-like Monster:The reason why I say it looks similar to Manda from the Godzilla series is because,in ways the scales on this monster and,Manda look similar to each other.Also the spikes on this creature's back look similar to Manda.They even share a similar color scheme to each other(That atleast goes for the Millennium Manda before it shines).Anyway looking at the area,the monster was at,this is most likely a Special Area from the arena like feel,the dramatic music,and the dramatic look in the background.
