there'd have to be other elders first, but i think it'd be interesting to do. considering arkveld is the wyvern that conquered extinction and nergigante is the extinction dragon it'd be criminal for them to not interact at all.

Or give us something new, I can reinstall World if I want to fight the monsters in it.

as much as i like nergi this game isn't about elder dragons so his existance doesn't really fit, sadly

No. Literally ANY OTHER MONSTER. Not Nergigante. Nergi is trash.

Allegedly eats elders. He has never actually been seen eating one. Ruiner nibbled on one that was already mostly dead, but other than that.... it seems like the narrative was completely off the mark. Nergi just lives in his little crystal home, never leaves unless the metal Raths steal his bedroom, and routinely gets beaten up by hunters because he is a weakling.
He is THE worst monster in the entire franchise.
I'd rather have a multihunt with 10 Bulldrome than ever see Nergigante again.

Nergi has to be in a game with multiple Elders. His purpose in World was to balance the cycle by killing and eating Elders, so until we see several Elders pop up, Nergi has no purpose here.

He's my favourite

I'm guessing you really love spikes. Not sure how it could be anything else since he doesn't have anything else. Well, I guess the never-leaving-his-room thing might be relatable to unemployed 20-somethings living in their parents' attic.
I still remember the first time I decided to try and follow him... except he didn't go anywhere. He just paced back and forth for a solid 30 minutes... and I got bored and killed him (I had my infinite barrel bombs mod on, so I just placed concentrated bombs all along his pacing path, completely surrounding it... then detonated them and killed him in one shot). Can I remember anything else? Well, the Archtempered version kept dive-bombing... but that didn't really bother me because I'm a gunner.

The ONLY good thing I'll say is that if Nergigante had just been Ruiner Nergi from the start, he would have been tolerable. The ability to actually SHOOT the spikes out makes a huge difference. I don't mind Ruiner so much. It is just base Nergi that basically just fails at everything.

There would be little point in adding Nergi when he eats Elder Dragons. Well, dying ones, but the point is that his prey is missing. You could argue that he could try to prey on Gore since he's pretty much a juvenile Elder Dragon, but there would still be little point. There needs to be a healthy population of Elder Dragons for Nergi to hunt.

The only way I could see Nergi work is if they make him a guardian. However, then there's the question of what purpose he would serve. What would ancient Wyveria use him for?

I'm still convinced that him "eating elder dragons" is a complete fabrication... but even if we assume it isn't, I don't reckon he could take Gore Magala. I suppose it would be easier than taking on a Valstrax though.

Again, if we accept the highly dubious claim that Nergi eats Elder Dragons, then a Guardian Nergi could be explained as having already cleared the region of Elder Dragons... Elder Dragons are ecosystem-destroyers, and for an ancient race that want to completely control their environment, they wouldn't want something like that coming along and messing everything up, so they'd probably have some sort of anti-dragon weapon on hand.... which would then have been decommissioned / put away when the dragons were no longer around.

... BUT I really don't want to give Crapcom an actual valid excuse to bring back the worst monster in the franchise.

I don't exactly buy Nergi eating Elder Dragons either. I see him more of a scavenger that preys upon dying ones, or juveniles. Also, on the point of wiping out the Elder Dragons, definitely plausible to use Nergi for it, but they could also have used Savage Deviljho or Furious Rajang for that same purpose since they are at Elder Dragon level.

nergigante canonically preys on the sick, weak, or elderly. it is literally the whole reason it's even in the new world, it followed the dying zorah magdoras to feast on it's energy after it died. the whole "badass eater of elders" thing is largely fabrication and mostly a fan misinterpretation of the monster.

I want to see golden pickle or ssj3 rajang. Always fun to watch unprepared new gen hunters cart from them.
