My favorite monster in Monster Hunter is the Nargacuga, and not just for the obvious reason you'd expect(*cough*dat armor*cough*); I absolutely adore its sleek, intimidating design and how, whenever it moves, it just seems so light on its feet with every movement. Aside from the obvious panther influences with its appearance and behavior, its design also brings bats to mind, which are one of my favorite animals.

And yes, I'll be the first to admit that I really really like its armor design too. Sue me. >u>
