Didn't you see the poll for the monsters that should be in MHP3rd? Kut-Ku totally owned every monster there. Kut-Ku is a very popular and beloved monster so it actually is partly responsible for the success of MHFU.

Also Tigrex, Rathalos and Rathian were in MHFU and they brought them back. As you said all monsters in MHFU are "crap" (even if you didn't mean it you said it) those are surely monsters that made MHFU a success.

And Gypceros is surely a good monster, too although no one likes it (that's mostly because it steals...). I mean the fake dead is really cool and a great idea. It's a challenge even if it is quite annoying to fight.

In the end the entirety of the monsters, every single of them, made the success for MHFU not only some of them. Of course in MHFU there were still very similar but I'm sure in MH4 this will change. (Especially I hope that for the subspecies that come sooner or later.)
