User blog comment:Lord Loss/Monster Appreciation Day: Basarios/@comment-1758220-20111016025537/@comment-1011548-20111016103847

Thanks for posting on what I was expecting to be a very quiet blog, it's much appreciated. It would be a shame if MAD were to stop now due to lack of interest, the monsters are going to get bigger, better and more exciting from here-on in (and I know this 'cause I wrote up the list of the order in which we're going through them, lol).

Anyway, regarding Basarios I agree with absolutely everything that you said; essentially he's an interesting idea that doesn't quite live up to his potential. Most importantly, the design just lacks that certain... something. On the other hand he's probably just about the most improved monster by the transition from normal to HC, I'd say. His moves suddenly seem to get a lot more interesting.
