User blog comment:Lord Loss/Discussion of the Week: Rare Species/@comment-26066195-20131130230354

My favorite rare species are Gold Rathian, Silver Rathalos, and Abyssal Lagiacrus. Back when I was a beginner to the MH series, I had watched my friend attempt Silver Rathalos and he ended up failing the quest, saying that it was near impossible. Once I got the game I killed Silver Rathalos with a hunting horn on my first try. I've only tried the DLC Abyssal Lagiacrus, but it seems like a pretty fun yet annoying fight.

The rare species are a pretty good idea, but Capcom seems to be kind of lazy with them sticking all of them in the tower rather than putting the monsters in a new environment, I'd love to see Lucent Narga in a forest or Rare Tiggy in a volcanic area.

I think a Yamatsukami rare species would be pretty cool to see, maybe an ice one that would be the complete opposite of the normal one, or a Brachydios rare species that used slime combined with an element.
