User blog comment:Lord Loss/Monster Appreciation Week: Baleful Gigginox/@comment-5043481-20130526204451

Baleful Gigginox is a subspecies done very well in my opinion. Element change, plausible explanation and good gameplay make Baleful Gigginox a great sub.

A small problem with Baleful gigginox is he clearly takes a lot of inspiration from red khezu. For a start, he is red. Well, half the time. He also has thunder abilities, and is weak to water when the origional species was weak to fire. Baleful Gigginox is so much better that red khezu that I do not mind that there is some shared insparation.

The gameplay is exellent. His moveset is different enough from the ordinary species to make it unique. A different pin attack, and the fact that the exploding blobs it lays on its back in G-rank  make getting close very dangerous are just some examples. Oddly, I find this subspecies easier than the origional, who was updated for tri ultimate to ingect some diffculty.

The equipment has some nice thunder ablities, making them exelent choices for anything weak to thunder. I used the high rank duals today to kill a G-rank Narga. It is annoying that they look very similar to ordianary gigginox weapons though.
