Most Hated Monsters and Why?

[Chaoz]

Mainly asking due to recent, tedious experience with the muddy menace piece of crap known as Almudron (Switch Axe main, had to farm for 2 of its plates. Can't wait to farm for its gems in HR...), and I wanna know what monster makes you feel incredible rage, or is just a tedious slog.

Other hated monsters of mine so far
- Basarios, thank the lord SA has near no use for this thing's gear. It is not enjoyable for the monster to be nearly invincible until only parts of it become vulnerable temporarily. Fought it only once, hopefully never again.
- Jyratodus. Boring. Why did he come back. At least his chest piece is very good.
- Volvidon, stop freaking rolling away PLEASE.

Khezu and Teostra are my most hated of all time.

Khezu because the constant spamming of roars and thunder blasts and ♥♥♥♥ that makes it a pain to even hit him.
Teostra because in MHR especially he literally does not stop attacking for even a second. I honestly do not see how you can fight MR Teostra without some kind of counter/parry move in MHRS.

It's really easy. It's about positioning. Teo doesnt really spam attacks tho.

You'd be surprised, but with my Dual Blades setup, I have no issue with anything- mostly, except Almudron, for some weird reason I always have issues with Almudron, whether it's just me or weapon specifics I dunno, but it's funny how I barely manage to keep alive fighting an Almudron!
Quite amusing to be honest

Other then that ? I hate anything that is a monkey! except for a weird reason I am okay with Garangolm, the only monkey in the whole game series I am okay with

I think a lot of folks struggle with Almudron because he's REALLY long, and quickly shifts between long and curled up, so it's hard to read what he'll do.

BASARIOS IS THE MOST BORING AND ANNOYING FIGHT

I have to admit, I haven't fought Basarios in any older titles yet... But Rise Basarios is honestly a bit of a guilty pleasure for me lol. I feel like I really shouldn't enjoy it but I kinda do, though it isn't a favourite of mine either

Almudron would be a lot more bearable if it was Mizu-sized imo. Sure, it wouldn't be as intimidating but it'd be more fun. Almudron's size is the only issue I really have with it since it makes the already questionable hitboxes even worse

I like it's giant size, and I have to say, Almudron is my personal guilty pleasure fight. It feels like they made an underwater leviathan fight, and put it on land, and made it work well. Ludroth, Somnacanth and Mizu, yes theyre leviathans, but they feel like they couldve been put into another type, and it wouldnt feel too different. Almudron actually feels like a leviathan, and it swims through the land, it uses it's big body effectively, it uses and can land ranged attacks, while still being within melee range. Plus, it being to change the terrain at will is just icing on the cake for me. I know folks say Magma Almudron stole the "role" of a fire leviathan from Agnaktor, but honestly, even tho Agnaktor swims through the ground, it doesnt really fight like how a swimming leviathan would. Almudron feels like it was inspired by underwater combat, with magma being like a pipe shotgun equivalent.

♥♥♥♥ Rajang and Furious Rajang.

I can hunt all others without problems but these 2 can ♥♥♥♥ off.

[SubAtomic]

magma almudron for the obvious reasons of aoe moves and rise's (at times) bad hitboxes.

only monster in history of all 4 mh games (that i've played) i have ever disliked going against, and that's a list including both kirin types, mhw daora and tidal najarala.

[BeastKingSmash]

i think Almudron is universally hated , nobody likes fighting that annoying garbage

[Simbah]

Nargacuga with its sudden forward lunge after the side step. Reminds me A LOT of a certain Arch-Tempered's Pepega Slam

The first time I fought Magmadron it was absolutely tiny compared to regular Almudron, only Mizu-sized and I loved it. Had little issues with hitboxes at all and it's where I got my opinion that Almudron would be better if it was smaller

[LeKinkKonk]

Since i mostly have no problem fighting any monster. I guess i just name the most unfun/boring monsters to hunt personally:
-Almudron (What a piece of ♥♥♥♥)
Magma Almudron is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ great tho :D
-Basarios (Snoozefest imo)
-Azuros (bro mostly just runs for attacks)
noticed how unfun he is due the the afflicted form
-Jyuratodus (needs no explanation i think)
-Khezu (not bad per se - just boring imo)
-Base Rathian (Gold Rathian Rules instead)

I have a vivid distaste for Arzuros. Not because it's hard, it is not. Not because of the design, it's pretty good tbh. But because of the moveset, I just find it really annoying. Runs around and wastes your time, tremors, 360 hurtboxes, consecutive attacks. It's like all my least favourite types of attacks all packed into a single package. And since it's a low tier monster you don't even get anything useful for fighting it.

To me Arzuros is like doing chores. Most of them are really easy and you can do them fast, like laundry, making your bed, vacuuming, doing the dishes... they are easy but you still hate doing them and they are annoying. Well, it's an easy fight at least, it'd be THE worst monster in the entire game for me if the fight was actually difficult.

My current least favourite fight in Rise is Almudron. He has the "big hitbox that moves too much" syndrome. You try to hit a part of him aaaaaand it's suddenly way over there because Almudron slightly shifted his body. Also, I can never get a proper feel for his attacks and their hitboxes either, probably because if you're too close to him you cannot see half of his model and see what he's even doing, but if you are too far away you'll never get to attack him with melee weapons... Yeah yeah, I bet if I just practiced I could figure everything out and the fight would be a joke, but I cannot be bothered since I don't particularly like the monster either. Sweet armor and weapons though.

I'm still super early (long-ish campaign) but so far my most hated is the stupid tremor jumping bear in the HR4 rampage that prevented me from sharpening like 10 times with his constant tracking jumps.

I should have retreated but I was desperate to save the gate, going into orange sharpness.

A fellow Arzuros hater I see. The apex one this time, they both suck.

Actually funilly enough I like the apex arzuros more. It's technically even more annoying but, you know, it's supposed to be a very powerful version of him so I kinda expected some BS and can tolerate it. But I cannot accept that an early rank trash pushover like Arzuros is allowed to be this annoying to fight.
