^ You are rigth. Gobul is very forgiven...

The idea of poison element (or para+poison) can fit perfectly, but give him a thunder element attack can go very well with gobul, but sleep element can be interesting because the only monster in MH3G with sleeping attacks is Baggi (and Qurupeco, too)

I think that a gobul subespecies fought as a non-elder final boss (rare lagia, silver thalos or rare narga) can be interesting in the Ceadeus area, making gobul look even more similar to an abyssal fish. Just give it a deep purple skin with shiny purple spots (the ones on his back) and spikes, weird enormous, sharp theets (like if they where getting out of his mouth because they don't fit in), and a special aura arround his spikes when he is in rage mode (when he isn't enraged, he is "spiked", too).

Also, add purple colored thunder attacks (some of them long ranged, gobul needs a long range attack), paralizer effect when the tail AND back's spikes hit you, and any underwater-pollution gas attack. This one stays around the area and if you hit that pollution gas, you get poisoned/sleeping effects.

(I know, thunder+para+poison/sleep maybe is a few excesive)
