1.) My most favorite Paralysis monster? Well, that would have to be the Gobul. A unique design for a Paralysis monster imo, and he's also the 1st Paralysis monster I fought when I started playing 3rd generation MH games (MH3 to be exact.). Also fighting him is honestly fun, especially underwater.

2.) My least fave is definitely Volvidon. He's as annoying as a Bnahabra or a Vespoid when I'm hunting in the HR Volcano. I mean, in MHP3rd, whenever I doing a simple a simple HR Gathering or Hunting quest in the Volcano, Volvidon just suddenly rolls in outta nowhere and immediately uses his paralyzing attack, which is really annoying, as that always happen in a very crucial moment, like when Uragaan decides to go near me and use his Chin Slam attack, and I'm unable to move away cuz Volvidon has just paralyzed me... So yeah, Volvidon is a real pain in the *** when I hunt/gather in the HR Volcano.

3.) How would I improve Paralysis? To start with, for Paralysis weapons, well............. I don't really like using them in MH, cuz I prefer using elemental or raw damage weapons; so I can't think of any improvement for them. For paralysis in general, maybe when succesfully paralyzing a monster like Alatreon, the effect will last a little longer? Cuz imo, the duration of the effect is short; not really enough time to deal a lot of damage. For the monsters..... maybe some of them, like Baleful Gigginox or Zinogre (only the G-Rank ones), could have an electrical aura that paralyzes you if you get too close? Might sound a little OP, but the fun in hunting them is that you have to use ranged weapons to bring them down.
