Akantor, Shen Gaoren, and Jhen Mohran are my favorites. Akantor is one of my favorite monsters, and I think it's theme is awesome. Shen Gaoren is frustrating, but I enjoy fighting it, and for some reason I find it really adorable, don't ask. Jhen Mohran is one of my favorites due to the fact that the fight is really engaging and I love the idea of fighting it on a boat.

I really like Yama's design, but the fight could have been a lot better. It gets boring fast, and Yama doesn't do much besides sit in one place and try to smack you around. At least Yama's battle theme is kinda cool. I dislike Lao Shan greatly, mostly due to the fact that it takes forever to kill and has one of the most boring fights in the series, plus I can never get Lao Shan rubies, I swear they're the one item that the desire sensor will not let me have. If Lao returns in MH4U, I seriously hope he gets a huge revamp. Ukanlos is kind of cool, but I personally like Akantor's design more. I've never battled Odibatorasu so I can't judge it much, but it's fight looks kind of fun. I do think it looks kind of goofy, but it's battle theme is amazing.
