It used to be the only monster that uses its scream as part of its attacks. A few more monsters have been added to the "capitalised on roar stun" list since then.

Monoblos has always been Faster Diablos, which isn't quite as ritzy these days. It was definitely great to see it again after so long, though.
Khezu had no fight music because he never sees you (and you never get the fright freeze from being seen). Also you couldn't stealth by crouching in a smokebomb like all the other monsters since he detects you by smell.
I guess I'll find out if I play for myself. "Boring" might be interesting for a newcomer like myself (at least initially).
Also, really enjoying how active this thread / community is. I hope I enjoy the franchise half as much as some of you folks in here.
Khezu is pretty much the only monster I actively dislike. Well, it and Diablos, but I actually don't mind the latter too much in GU and Iceborne.
I'm just crossing my fingers for Nargacuga. I'm sure it has a pretty high chance of getting in, though. I wonder if returning flagships that happened to be in World/Iceborne are going to have the newest versions of their themes in.

If the rigs can be brought over from MHW, Fatalis is at least possible since he's arriving in less than 2 weeks.
Looking at how they ruined Zinogre's theme in Iceborne, I hope not.
I sincerely hope that him returning back "Home" to his rightful owners at the Portable squad means they'll treat him far better in this area than the World/Iceborne team(s) did.
How you gonna take away the big wuff's GUITARS (unless you've mounted him)?!
That's kind of where I'm at with Glavenus' Iceborne theme. (Zinogre's mount theme is pretty great, but still)
Narga's theme is such a vast improvement over its original theme (which was already pretty fantastic), so that's kind of why I'm hoping it'll be back.
Bulldrome will return to make a lot of hunters rage
Zinogre Iceborne theme is ok
Brachy's theme is the real sin
Tho they kinda fixed it with raging brachy
All the more reason I'm hoping at least a good portion Gaijinhunter's "bingo card" keeps getting filled out.
I'm encouraged when I found out that Reo Uratani (credited on Tri, Portable 3rd and Generation's OSTs, among others) retweeted the initial MHRise announcement tweets from Nintendo Japan's and the official MH Rise JP Twitter accounts from a few days ago.
Hopefully, that's a good hint that he's involved with this game, 'cuz it's been a while since last heard anything from him!
As far as returning themes go:
I actually really like Kushala's World theme
Jho's isn't as good as it was before
Teostra's is about the same quality wise
Glavenus' new arrangement sucks
Narga probably has the best of this entire bunch
Zinogre's I don't hate but the original is way better
Brachy's is pretty good
Tigrex's took some time to grow on me but I quite like it
Rajang's is actually really good
Haven't fought Alatreon in any game yet so I don't even know what its theme sounds like

I've wanted a proper Hydra monster for a while, my fingers are crossed
Oh, God! I wonder if they'll tweak him to be a little more annoying just to make fun of everyone. LOL.
Now he appears in every fight and immediately charges into you
He will be able to detect when you're about to do your strongest charged attack, or when you're all setting up for wake up attacks, or when a monster is trapped/paralysed, then he will teleport into your area and charge at you.
But he already does this.
Oh wait, you left out that he'll wait until you're at 20% health, in a safe spot away from the monster you're fighting so you can drink a pot and then...
Well you know.
There are many old monsters we all hope to see again in Rise, but above all else what are the chances we'll see most or all of the flagships that weren't added to Iceborne in Rise?
I think Khezu is a great design visually. It emphasizes the idea of monsters as natural animals rather than mythological creatures when a cave-dwelling monster features many of the same adaptations as real world troglodytes: Pale skin, loss of eyes, etc.
The fight really sucks, but after Yian-Garuga in Iceborne I feel like that's something the devs could fix with some love.
You say this like Generations didn't bring back the Dromes despite adding Great Maccau.
I thought Gigginox took everything cool about Khezu and upgraded it really well, adding some horror aspects. I'm surprised they haven't brought it back.
Nakarkos.
If you mean a monster that actually has multiple heads instead of the appearance of multiple heads, that goes against the entire aesthetic identity of the series. Same reason you won't see a cyborg monster or an undead monster.
You say that but two headed animals are a thing IRL. MonHun aesthetics can conform a two headed snake, bird, turtle or goat.
Well we got a Jet engine monster from space, so I wouldn't count out anything.
Nakarkos is more of a Kraken than Hydra but i'll take it. I actually really love the fight, which is why i'd kill for something more Hyrda-esque.
I'm also hoping we get some hella hype trailers. I remember watching the MH4 Japanese trailers and loving those little teasers at the end. Dalamadur was still a great "wtf is this" moment, and I still remember how hyped I was at the Kushala tease... and that one for 4G that had Seregios looking back at the player damn. I also vaguely remember one with Chameleos that got me excited, don't remember if that was an end of trailer tease.
I know World had Nargacuga teased at the end of the initial Iceborne trailer, so I'm really hoping they continue that trend. Always loooked forward to seeing what monster would be hidden away.
edit: i just went back and looked at them, i forgot chamelos was teased at the end with this amazing jump scare
Thanks to the prior excitement and the actual reveal, I finally managed to beat Shagaru Magala and reach the Village HR in MHGU, and I've gotta say, Aerial Insect Glaive was a revelation: it's so stupidly mobile and reckless, I love it. It's almost TOO good, so I think I'll try getting better at another weapon.
Anyway, I guess the silver lining is that it was the increased mobility that finally made me click with MH(4U), so I'm happy they're exploring new possibilities with Rise and the Wire Bug.

Two-headed animals are a thing as bizarre mutations. Not as actual species. I wouldn't have a problem with a two-headed variant of another monster in the vein of Chaotic Gore Magala.
Indeed. Khezu is a piece of shit next to its third-gen counterpart, just like pretty much all the old monsters are worse than their gen 3 equivalents.
Love the enthasiasm and life a new Monster Hunter on the switch brings these guys, can't wait to see their upcoming content when we near its release.
Open like MHW if you're talking about the basic structure of the game. You have maps that are seamless but the maps are separated from each other.
No idea on how the individual map layout will be.
i've been watching so many videos about rise on youtube, lol
i probably should stop and forget it exists until it comes out. a lot of times when i get obsessed with a game prior to launch it ends up disappointing me :/

Amazon Germany or Media Markt still don't list Rise at all, neither the physical CE ... i see this will be a daily ordeal to check the stores for a looong time.
I think the "Goofy Humor" tile can get checked to. At least the voice acting in the trailer feels very goofy humor. "I just ... *dramatic pause* ... got ... an imporant *dramatic pause* letter". ^^

No. Kut-ku is trash along with Yian Garuga. Both should be extinct.
Seriously, I especially hate Yian Garuga.
They already did that in MHTri. It's called Gigginox. I don't care about Khezu, but they should bring Gigginox back, it could become an even more amazing fight with the increased verticality. Imagine him crawling up and down a huge cavern.
They are fine. But again, Qurupeco improved the Kut Ku formula so much.
Yian Garuga was awesome in Iceborne, though.
