1) My favorite overall would have to be the amazing Great Wroggi! I absolutely love the color scheme, array of croaks and growls, and overall uniqueness. I find it amazing that Capcom could make a monster so similar to one of its older ones (Iodrome) and at the same time completely different.

A close runner-up would have to be Velocidrome. I've always loved his beautiful blue color scheme, but never thought much of the monster itself. However, MH4 seems to have made Velocidrome a much better fight than in the old days, so I can't wait for a refreshing yet familiar fight.

2) I generally prefer the 3rd Gen raptors. They're a lot like Brute Wyverns, which I love, and they're much more unique overall. They're also much more elegant in the way they move and act, and I also have a 3rd Gen bias. That's a contributing factor.

3) I would have loved to see them ALL brought back in MH4. Leaving out Giadrome was weird, and only bringing back Great Jaggi out of the three 3rd Gen raptors was a strange decision as well.

However, I would have gone for all-new Bird Wyverns as well.
