Diablos is a staple of the Monster Hunter series. Except for MH4, there hasn't been a game without Diablos in it. In my opinion, he's just as popular as Rathian and Rathalos, and a game without Diablos seems... lonely, I guess.

I don't particularly like the guy either. But I think I'd rather have a game with Diablos than a game without Diablos.
