Mascot monsters are in a weird spot inMonster Hunter.
In the hierarchy of monsters, youve gotRathalos, who is and will always be the unofficial brand mascot.
Then there are the staples, like Anjanath, Diablos, and Rajang, followed by theelder dragons.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no.
Playing Monster Hunter as a scaredy cat made me so much better at it.
Case in point:Monster Hunter Wildsmascot characterArkveldis a bit of a flop.
I really dont hate the guy.
Arkveld isnt a monster Im going to have fond memories of years from now.
Arkveld is like the 15th coolest monster in his own game.
Whats worse, you only have to go back one generation to find arealmascot monster.
You wanna talk top-tier mascots?
Nergigante is the guy, bro just thinks hes him.
Peak design, incredible fights, heavy-metal lore; Nerg really has it all.
He exudes final boss energy and is truly terrifying to hunt - as he should be.
It feels like Capcom put everything into making Nergigante the star of Monster Hunter World.
So how come Arkveld doesnt?
Its the same MO, but way less cool.
One monster preys on school bullies, the other one eats gods.
Could Nergigante Come Back?
I think there is; its just going to take some build-up.
