Yes, please. :MHRISE_OK:
i dunno his fight is pretty much designed around wirebugs existing so they'd have to modify him significantly, it probably wouldn't play the same at all. not to mention his status effect would have to be reworked since wirebugs don't exist to cleanse it anymore.
Imma be real, as much as like it as a fight, I really, REALLY don't like the ecology and design of him. I'd want him to be pretty significantly reworked in those respects before he's added in a more ecology focused game

To be fair, Lagiacrus was originally underwater, was redesigned to be exclusively on ground AND is coming back. They'd have to do something about Hellfire blight for sure, but they'd probably just do something like roll x3, like fire/blast blights.

true, it's just hard to imagine what magnamalo would look like with it's insane rocket-jump combos and giant AoEs i guess, although it could still have them just a bit toned down i suppose.

yeah this is something to think about too, magnamalo's lore is a bit... silly, when considering the more grounded approach wilds is taking in comparison to rise. that said, i don't think magnamalo's lore is too bad considering the guardians and zoh shia are pretty out there themselves. if it helps, a lot of magnamalo's lore about "using souls as fuel" and being a "vengeful demon" is more or less superstition from kamura and not really fact. i do kind of appreciate the use of in-universe myth to give magnamalo more presence though.

I think a large part of it for me is that the guardians have a lot of effort put into them to showcase how they work, the function of the enviroment, and the utilization of pre-established lore to make them feel.. natural? That word doesn't quite work but eh, I'll take it. Were as magnamalo is much more focused on making him the cool anime boss monster (which he is really good at being!) more than a natural part of the setting, there isn't really a reason why something as nimble as narg needs to be that big and they never really justify it (I have similar problems with zinogre).

Meh, it's really not that big of a deal, I'm just one of the mh fans whose really really drawn to the ecology of the series lol
