User blog comment:Lord Loss/Monster Appreciation Day: Basarios/@comment-1758220-20111016025537

Basarios. Let's see. I'm going to try to put together an IGN-style breakdown here:

Concept: The idea of fighting a juvenile form of another monster is rather cool, it lets us delve further into the life cycle of Gravios, shedding more light on its ecology. 8/10

Design: Though the color scheme is rather monotonous, I like the head sculpt, as well as its feet and rocky back formations. 7.5/10

Gameplay: Recycles much of Gravios's moveset, very little original content here. I like how he disguises himself as a part of the scenery though, and I genuinely couldn't find him the first time I fought him. 5/10

Overall: A pretty unremarkable monster with barely any of its own moves and a bland color scheme. Parts of the design are interesting and there are some unique concepts applied here. Nevertheless, a mediocre score for a mediocre monster. 6/10 (Not an average)
