Top of the most annoying bosses

[al.gif.moon]

I want you guys to help me make a TOP (big number) of the most annoying monsters (not going to make a video, everything will be here)
i will start
Kushala Daora, that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ dragon has way too much hp, and you cant even get close to him because of the wind, also that dragon just stun locks you 85% of the time

[Agoraphobic Meep]

session disconnect box

get off my ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ screen you clingy ex-wife, I'm trying to hunt

Real answer: master rank azure rath. All the annoyances of a normal azure rath, mixed with flash resistance. Seriously, what is the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ point of the azure rath variant. Pink rathian at least gets a cool tailflip, azure rath's entire existence is just boiled down to "regular rath, but he flies MORE". It's literally a time waster wyvern. Why.

And the first 2 monsters are those most buffed by the mr flash nerf lol, 1000% agree on kushala though.

weapon match is a thing so as long you bring a right weapon no monster is push over and some of them is just walk in a park. dodogama its just too cute to kill.

Depends what you're doing a top 5 of. Is it of all time, or just for World/Iceborne?

If it's only World/Iceborne...I don't really have a particular order.
1. Kushala Daora. It only stalls, it's barely even a threat. Not even a hint of iceblight from previous gens. I swear it got massively downgraded so Velkhana can hobble in.
2. Lunastra. Nobody playtested this thing, is the tip of the iceberg of World's "unavoidable wall of destruction" gimmick that plagues Iceborne.
3. Rathalos. Flies across half the map every minute making it almost impossible to track, then always summons Rathain to the hunt if available, because Rathalos is too chicken to fight me 1v1.
4. Velkhana. Idk, the fight doesn't really seem that fun to me. Maybe it's the music? It sounds like nonsense to me.
5. Nergigante. Annoying gimmick, never left beta testing - what sorry excuse of a hitbox is the dive? It's not even as broken on Ruiner, like what happened?

For the entire franchise, again there's no particular order.
1. Plesioth. Shouldn't have to elaborate.
2. Basarios (pre-5th). Almost exclusively have to use Hammer unless you want to bounce, or have Mind's Eye.
3. Konchu. It's a monster. Not a large monster, but it still classifies. You don't know "annoying small monster" until this thing suddenly rolls in and knocks you down. Unlike some monsters that send you flying or slowly prepare the paralysis sting, Konchu will materialise out of nowhere and stop you.
4. Bulldrome. Pinacle "small monster scaled up to large monster". It's exactly like hunting a Bullfango, except it's bigger, and takes even longer to slay.
5. Gypceros. It's Pukei-Pukei but worse, and flashes like Tzitzi-Ya-Ku, except it's not directional flash. You get used to the death fakeout.

bonus:
1. collab monsters. Get out of my monster hunter game if you want to have mechanics like your original game.
2. siege quest monsters. Just bring back the old "slay or repel" 35 minute quests, don't force a quest abandon because of some arbitrary invisible time limit.
3. menu navigation. Woah steady on, you're zooming in too quickly on the book! I need another like, 5 seconds of waiting for the damn menu!
4. multiplayer. I don't want you.
5. farcaster (World). What do you mean you only work sometimes? What, too easy to just escape the big attack?

For lance? Most of the monsters are pretty fun. The FF14 Kulu is annoying because of its frontal block and unmountable. Alatreon is ass because it punishes blocking, slow movement and slow sheathing all in one. It's a triple teabag for lance. The rest are just a good time. Joust monsters for mounts, clutch counter to fly, block when the camera spazzes out. Only thing to worry about is the timer, lol.

I've gotten adept at enough weapons that at this point, I can counter-pick most monsters. Kushala is actually kinda fun when using the Bow, for example, as opposed to melee.

The two exceptions to that are Lunastra and Nightshade Paolumu.

Lunastra is simply a bad fight. Constant chip damage is annoying enough, but her flame patches also block ranged ammo like Teostra/Kushala's auras do. Her tail swipe hard counters basically everything; it comes out so fast and has such a massive hitbox you are likely unable to dodge it, and also makes more fire aoes with wind pressure for good measure. Since it hits twice, it also nullifies one-time negations like Greatsword Tackle. The wind pressure is an absolute nuisance for any build. Finally, the only 100% effective way to survive her nova is just to give up and Farcast out of the fight, or else it will just wind pressure stagger and chip you to death. Terrible mechanics.

Nightshade Paolumu is the same way. While building for full Sleep Resistance helps it from being truly insufferable, Nightshade also spends far too much time up in the air and constantly moving around. Unlike most monsters, breaking its wings does absolutely nothing to stop it from flying again, and like all MR monsters, they only fall out of the sky from a flashbang ONCE. If you can get it to come down, it still has the annoying Paolumu moveset of running in one direction and falling over, or swinging their tail around.

I also think Alatreon is a bad fight but saying that is like kicking a beehive so I won't bother.

[Poyzo]

Behemoth, no doubt. Tornadoes are annoying.

[Manticore]

Kushala daora, viper tobi kadachi, and ancient leshen..

In my 2k hours playing this game, I can safely say those chumps ain't exactly my type, they aren't hard but hot damn they annoy me more than anything..

[Jereweeb]

Uragaan. I've speedran monsters into an average of 3min per kill, and Uragaan's "idgaf about your flinches, i have ass hitzones just because i could, imma drop random unpredictable huge landmines everywhere, and imma roll away 20 yards from you" is (1) annoying, (2) unpredictable, (3) time consuming, and (4) fricking annoying. 5 mins average per kill, which is intolerable for me.

[ᔑᓭ∴ᔑリ⊣]

titzi-ya-ku, you would not believe how much i ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hate this bastard

[E_Lasha]

Behemoth is my 1st hate monster, 2nd is Banbaro this mf dont know when it should jump in the middle of the fight with it big ball rock and I just hate it face

[Lystent]

I have to go with kushala as well, especially in the forest. SO much filibuster, so little opportunities for land-lubbing melee folk like me.

[Kapakc]

Alatreon, forcing elemental playstyles while proccing dragonblight on you
Black diablos, you just watch him dig around for 10 minutes
Kushala, tornado spam, not that bad tbh
Fatalis, fat hitboxes that make no sense
Dodogama, kill it
