Which Monster is the BANE of your existence?

[Daryl]

We all have 1-3 monsters that we just have a huge disadvantage due to playstyle.
Like a monster you just hate completely because of how they fight/and how the hunt is...

Mine is

1. Khezu, the lack of BGM and its extremely slow fight pace makes it the one monster i often end up falling asleep irl, in hunts whilst hunting it in MH4U, MHGU and MHR:Sunbreak

2. Ukanlos, Im a GS main since gen1, and something about Ukanlos makes it the hardest monster fight for me, the aoe ice surfing and everything is just a me problem... but he has always been my wall in MHP3rd, MH4U, MHGU

3. Black Gravios, as a GS main since gen1, his numerous AOE attacks, like sleep gas fart, burn gas fart and mapwide laser beam that moves randomly. Its a fun fight, but im a bit traumatized in MH4U when i had to kill it over 43x for it to drop 1 "Black Gravios Pallium" a 2% drop rate item.


What is yours?

MHF1 - Khezu - he wont stop flying around the map
MHF1 - Gravios - 100% Gold Crown spawn in Powderstone Festival Quest (20 min).....
MHFU - Black Gravios - learned laser beam swipe....
MH3U - Barioth

[KirasiN]

I have Rajang PTSD from the days I hunted hundreds of those in guild quests, think that was MH4U

Also, Rathalos in the OG game flying 99% of the time.

Spear tuna

[zantomun]

rajang, hate how prevalent he is in late game in every game

[sears.exe]

Kushala, because there's no version of him that isn't a complete ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. "Oooh let me fly out of reach for 90% of the fight and you can't do anything". Even if you do knock him down he puts down so much area denial you either have to wait for it go away anyway, try to drag his ass away some how, or risk him falling into his own tornado and now you wasted your chance to do any damage. Way too much health for a monster that you can't hit a majority of the fight means it drags on forever. He's literally a waste of time personified and that's so much worse than simply being too hard. I'd rather tongue Alatreon's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ than ever fight one ever again. Just an awful, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fight if you're playing 11 out of the 14 weapons available.

[Knavenformed]

Diablos in Rise
It felt like he activated some bs full body hitboxes on the charges, causing really finnicky Helicoptering punishes with IG

Was one of my favorites in World though, but I did play it with the HBG and switched to Glaive later

[archonsod]

Rajang. Mainly because of those grab attacks, because if anything screams 'compelling gameplay' it's spending five minutes watching a King Kong rip off shout at someone.

[Glimmer]

The ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Kraken wannabe.

The tentacles have such deceptively long range, and the jumping bite ERASES your HP bar if it even just clips you.

[Jayjay]

Plesioth

[Warbreaker]

The only monster that is screwing up my existence is attack on Y and circle instead of square + circle.

If you mean Nu Udra I'm with you there, shaping up to be one of my least favourite monsters. 360° attack radius and you can't see ♥♥♥♥ once he is in flames. Really like Xu Wu though.

I don't think I have a bane of existence but personally don't like monsters that are constantly jumping around so you spend have of the fight just running after the monster (looking at you, Furious Rajang). I also don't like the other extreme: monsters that are slow with hard body parts (Basarios, Gravios, ..)

What is yours?

1. Khezu in Gen 4: He's not as bad in Gen 5 with our increased mobility, but I actively hate this monster in Gen 4 games.

2. Seltas Queen: my first real wall was HR Seltas Queen in 4U. I've grown fond of her after overcoming the wall, but she still gives me anxiety.

3. Blagonga. I've only fought LR Blagonga in GU, but I don't even want to imagine fighting him in HR/G-Rank. Hopefully he's in the "not as bad with increased mobility" Camp when I fight him in Wilds but I actively despise this mofo in GU

What game has attacks on Square and Circle/X and B? I've seen Square and Triangle/X and Y, and Triangle and Circle/Y and B, but never Square and Circle/X and B

[CH13F]

here in wilds , its rathalos. always on air, and i dont usually carry flash pods.

flying monsters in general so anti-melee, successfully executing a connecting combo is a challenge on its own.
