4. Lagiacrus
Top 5 Monster Hunter Beasts of All Time
Underwater battles were a major component in Monster Hunter 3, and Lagiacrus was the perfect poster boy to usher us into the thrills and spills of aquatic combat. From the get-go, you’re made aware that this enormous beast is lurking in the ocean, causing devastation on the harbor and being a general nuisance. You’ll have to deal with it eventually, and you can only hope that you’ll be strong enough to take it down when that day comes.
When you set off for the Monster Guts quest early in the game, your task is to head out into the sea to slaughter the small, herbivorous creatures swimming about. Once you have cleared out a few, you’ll head into a deeper body of water, and then… it happens. Lagiacrus makes his grand arrival, and decides that you look downright delicious. Whether or not you agree with this sentiment (after all, you may indeed be quite delicious!) you’d best haul tail and get as far away from there as possible, because you are not going to survive a tussle with this leviathan. It’s horrifying and hilarious all at once, and it still resonates with veteran players to this day.
