These are the most Annoying Monsters in ALL of Monster Hunter 

...sorry, can't hea-- Can't hea-- CAN'T H-- CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER THE SOUND OF *KHEZU SCREAMING*

You can heat up Lavasioth's armor by shooting a torch pod at its bodyparts, and your weapon won't bounce off of it anymore until it cools off again.

Unpopular opinion, I actually like almudron, he has a cool design, gimmick and I personally don’t find his fight that bad with rises mechanics. However he will need to change for a non-rise game in the future that lacks wire bugs. Like seriously imagine fighting him in world or generations.

I’d nominate Iceborne Kirin and Kushala for this list.

I absolutely despise monsters that constantly charge at you, such as Diablos and Tigrex. If you get hit once, by the time you are getting up you get git again by their massive hitboxes, get stunned and, surprise, dies.

Never knew this day would come but I'm gonna defend Lavasioth. In gen 5, it was supposed to be Agnaktor and Lagiacrus. However, since the Leviathan's skeleton had some issues so they were replaced by Lavasioth and Jyuratodus. With a completely different skeleton, everything they had planned for the Leviathan was quickly abandoned and replaced by halfhearted effort for the Piscine instead. For example, they literally slapped the Agnaktor's gimmick on Lavasioth and called it a day. Personally, it would be so much better for Lavasioth if it were planned to be added right from the start, not as a cheap alternative. Edit: *God to the people who replied to me, please learn how to read* I always know Lavasioth appeared first but it had never got the hardened lava armor until 5th gen arrived. The gimmick has always been exclusive to Agnaktor. My point is that slapping another monster's main charm onto another one solves nothing and in case of gen 5 Lavasioth it backfired.

Bullfango

I love raging brachi, but yeah, it can be a pain of a fight if you´re on a pretty small area. What I´m kinda surprised is that you didn´t add Plesioth since in the earlier games it was a pain when it decided to jump into the water every few minutes (but it makes sense since it would be the third fish in the video).

Any flying monster (Rathian, Rathalos, etc). 90% of my attacks can't hit them at all while they're airborne, and they have the annoying tendency to fly to the other end of the map when fleeing.

Kushala daora. Especially in world. The second i get that large gold crown im never fighting that thing again! Dioblos. It keeps going underground, but not long enough to scroll to or even properly aim sonic bombs. Plus whenever its not constantly digging, its usually screaming nonstop. Similar issues with gobul, minus the screaming

As an evade window 5 enjoyer. Raging brachy was definitely a reality check since I couldn’t just dark souls my way through it 😂

Cephadrome is a pos in 1/2 gen. In 4th gen he's actually alright. Alumodron is my least fav monster in Rise for sure. But I hates him more for his weightless animation. Some of the moves just looks straight up anti gravitational.

I swear rathalos in mhr makes me so angry, this man will NOT sit still for a minute and then it keeps roaring and charging at me after i used like 7 potions

About Lavasioth and the hardening thing, I didn't have any problems with my weapon bouncing off because... well... I'm a hammer main hahaha

My personal Top 5 most annoying monsters list: 1. World's Kushala Daora. In previous generations, flash bombs were Kushala's biggest weakness, but now that you could infinitely restock items in World, flash bombs were nerfed significantly, removing the only good counter against Kushala's constant flying. Also, the tornadoes it makes are super annoying. 2. Generations Ultimate's Alatreon GU's Alatreon didn't have an elemental DPS check, but it flies all the time, even more than Kushala, which is very annoying for a blademaster. And as a gunner, you'd be lucky if you don't get oneshot, because Alatreon hits like a truck. And when it does the ice rain attack, there's nothing you can do but wait for it to come back down, as even gunners can't hit Alatreon when it's that high up. Also, Alatreon has very high health and there are no different phases in the boss fight like Iceborne, so it becomes boring to fight it. 3. Generations Ultimate's Crystalbeard Uragaan Crystalbeard has no hitzone that activates Weakness Exploit unless you break it's chin, which only blunt weapons can do, and even then, it's only for cutting damage. That makes the fight take very long to finish, as you are doing little to no damage to Crystalbeard. Crystalbeard's attacks also generate lots of tremors, forcing you to sheathe your weapon every time you get affected by those tremors. The most annoying part are the explosive rocks it throws everywhere as it rolls and swings it's tail. They have a massive area of effect and detonate when Crystalbeard smashes it's chin on the ground, and the shiny rocks also explode into a cloud of sleep gas. A large part of the annoyance can be mitigated with Negate Tremors and Repeat Offender instead of Weakness Exploit, so it isn't first on the list. 4. World's Lunastra Lunastra generates heat waves that do tick damage to you while you are flinching from the wind pressure. The patches of blue fire on the ground damage you without knocking you back, and they knock you back whenever Lunastra's attacks connect with them, making it seem like you've been hit out of nowhere, as you rarely take notice of the blue fire. It's supernova can kill you even if you superman dive, as you will keep flinching from the wind pressure whilst taking massive tick damage. Windproof helps with this fight significantly. 5. Generations Ultimate's Dreadking Rathalos Dreadking is immune to flash bombs unless you break one of it's wings, and it barely ever comes to the ground. It's delayed explosive fire-rock things limit your freedom of movement around the area aswell. It's imperative that you bring pitfall traps and shock traps so that whenever Dreadking lands, you trap it and focus on breaking it's wings. It becomes much easier to fight once you break one of it's wings.

I Nominate Odogaron for this list. Maybe its just me but its movement is so Erratic that it feels like I never have enough time to deal any substantial DPS on it before it jumps out of the way and hits me with a Cheap ass Bleed attack. Of course I'm primarily a Charge Blade user but I often find myself swapping to Duel Blades when I go up against him just so I can better tango with him.

World Kushala and Rise Teostra are my least favorites I'd add to this list. Kushala spends most of its time in the air and spams eternal tornadoes like crazy. I once got locked between a wall and a tornado that bounced me around until I died. And Rise Teotsra is just as bad. Constantly covered in fire is one thing but it spams its explosions like they're going out if style. Coupled with the fact that it's entire body is a hitbox and just turning around and running can send you flying makes fighting it up close and personal such a drag. Absolutely hate fighting those two iterations

I still stand by the point that Lavasioth was a fun fight UNTIL world decided to give it the mechanics as a poor man’s Agnaktor, despite not digging nearly as much and has armour that hardens even quicker If they didn’t pull a world and slap on a unneeded mechanic it would be fine

How are you gonna put Almudron and Raging Brachy in this video but not Khezu or Plesioth?

Almudron? ALMUDRON?!? I can't wrap my mind around that one.

most annoying thing is when you get hit by the tiny monster multiple time when you Polishing weapon or something else

I havent fish this video but I assume Apceros didnt get mentioned. I lost counts on how many times I got carted thanks to them. It ruined my hunts by blocking your 3rd person vision, slowly pushing you, blocking your gun aim, headbutting ypu when carving and dealing the finishing blow when you are doing heroics run.

I love regular brachydios, but fuck the raging version. Easily one of the most infuriating and annoying fights I ever went through. Once I soloed it the first time, I never wasted my time fighting it again because I hated the fight that much.

For me it is Banbaro, esp. when you don't know how his hitboxes are. You see something get flung next to you and the moment after you are at 1/4 health ( very annoying when sharpening, esp. for DB mains)

Spot on with the piscines. I really never liked any of the piscine, though I have fond memories of me and my cousin taking turns with a PSP to chase around a swimming cephadrome because we didn't bring enough sonic bonbs

All the problems you mention with the cephadrome I feel with Black Diablos. They’re so much time where they can’t be hit and even when it’s in recovery it’s usually after a charge or jump that put them on the other side of the arena so you can’t punish it.

monster hunters when monsters are hard/have mechanics u need to adapt to

It's kinda funny in MHG Cephadrome is one of the fastest and best early G rank HRP grinds in MHG.

I'll be honest, I never found Almudron annoying.

Khezu suggesters have never suffered the pain of a chameleos somehow stealing all of your healing items Or a molten tigrex never giving a moment of peace

Cephadrome is also annoying because he has a jumping attack that paralyzes you. It can be very unpredictable and it you are hit he will combo into his emerge which deals lots of damage and he can even continue comboing you with paralysis after you get up. Lavasioth in gen5 is annoying but I heard he was much better in gen 4 where he wasn't just Jyuratodes with lava. Almudron can be annoying especially large ones but it's really nice having a monster that fights so differently and you can easily jump over his obstacles with wirebugs. Raging Brachy is not annoying at all. After many failures I learned his moveset and I was able to punish almost all of his attacks with AEDs which are pretty slow attacks. He is big but slower than a normal brachy and as long as you know your boundaries you can easily get him to final phase (no tips for this one)

Nibsnarf is the bane in my thorn, mega bombs are a must.

Yo can soften lavasitoths armor by slinging torch pods at it

I think the most annoying thing about Lavasioth is the HP pool. He just eats damage 😂

Maybe it's me, but I simply never had issues with Raging. Maybe it's my playstyle, idk.

Oh it is definitely Diablos. In MHW, it would kill me over and over because of its stupid digging attack and other strong attacks. It is most likely a skill issue though.

Shakalaka and their King 💀💀

Bullfango takes the cake for this one

I actually didn't have that much trouble with Almudron, mostly because I used hammer and the wirebug move that lets me do the jump spin attack is kinda broken for getting out of situations like that + hitting its tail while raised

Lets see... Silver Rathalos - i just hate him Savage Jho - He has two ways of pinning you and god forbid if you dodged the first one as he'd just follow up another. *And dont get me started on that stanky ass gait that he has before doing that breath attack*

(Notes Khenzu, Diablos, Mizutsune, Zinogre, chameloes, Garuga etc before pressing play)

Both the Diablos and Rathalos are annoying to fight in World, and the biggest problem is their pacing; Diablos and Rathalos are introduced as hunting targets a bit too soon for most new players.

5. Plesioth (hitbox) 4. Khezu (roars 99.9% of the f***ing time) 3. Cephadrome (as stated...sand) 2. Nibelsnarf (same as 3 but more annoying moveset) 1. Kushala Daora before Rise and Sunbreak (don't have a problem with wind aura, just it's airtime)

I started with MHFU and i must say being a novice going against a Plesioth was a nightmare. At least i wasn't the only one suffering , you just had to say "Plesioth hipcheck" online and everyone would come out of the woodworks to share their frustration. It still lives in MHS as an attack that hits the whole party called "Hyperspace Tackle".

Well Gunlance gang just have to say sorry for your lost when dealing with monsters with armor. We'll just keep shelling them. Which especially helps with Lavasioth because your shelling softens the armor again. At least in Gen 5. I don't know about earlier gens. I'm not paying enough attention for that.

I would want to see what they plan to do with Almudron if they get rid of the wire bug in future games, but I don't really think he belongs on this list. His fight being different doesn't mean that it's bad.

It's Plesioth... at least for me... the hit box... it goes to water, we can not hit it...

Cant wait for Information about wilds

Raging Brachy is so cool, and I have to admit, when I saw him pop up I was scratching my head. That is, until I saw that you were fighting him with a hammer. In World, I too was a hammer main. Fights like raging brachy and tigrex made me pick up the lance for its counter and guard capabilities. Also, the high pokes reach his otherwise way-too-high head. With hammer, you have to go to the ledges in every area and spam jumping attack.

Greatest tip when fighting an almudron is to learn how to play rage slash greatsword against him. The super armor and counter damage really helps breaking the rock on his tail

ive found Almudron to be more fun on longer ranged weapons conpared to short stuff like SnS (which just so happens to be my main.) his body is so large, yet so awkward it requires really uncomfortable angles for you to be able to land good hits on him with grounded attacks. might just be me though.

Almudron: The Dual Blades shred him into minced meat effortlessly.

I personally think that raging brachy is one of the best fights in monster hunter, but I honestly get it tbh.

Nibblesnarf with ig... it's not possible to get red buff without barrel bombing him

Some personal "favorites" of mine Shogun Ceanataur - That extended claw always manages to reach me no matter where I am or how I dodge Tigrex (old gen) - Basically a neverending lawnmower and without the better movement in gen5, especially in Rise, it's a pain to get close to it when it stops for once Basarios (old gen) - Bouncing off bouncing off bouncing off All of the giant ass monsters like Lao Shan, Shen Gaoren, Jhen Mohran, Zorah Magdaros because they are so so boring

1. Khezu 2. Khezu 3. Khezu 4. Khezu The fact that he roars so much can be forgiven, but the bloody thing doesnt even have a soundtrack to listen to while you wait for your ears to stop bleeding

Usually I'd try to defend the Piscine Wyverns, but I have lyrics to a Piscine Wyvern diss track so I had to name-drop some of their abilities. Anyway I nominate Lunagaron. If unoriginality had a fan club, Luna would be in it, and if that fan club disbanded, he'd start it right back up. I'm not sure I'm right here, but he stole Zamtrios's ice armor and then has the gall to act like some kind of poor man's Odogaron without being fun to fight or having an actually fun gimmick to call it's own. And even though Goss Harag does almost the exact same thing, at least its gimmick is fun to play around with and the fight ain't horrible 99.01% of times.

I hate Almudron, it's moveset was/is annoying and it didn't help that it took me 57 (yes, I actually started counting) hunts to get my first Gold Orb back in base Rise.

crazy that you added almudron but not khezu

For me its Khezu in MHGU (Specifically bc of the double khezu village quest), its tanky and very annoying to deal with. It screams wayyyy to much. it likes clinging to rooftops so if you're not using a ranged weapon tough luck... Now this wouldn't be such a problem if it wasn't required to fight TWO of them for the village quests. 😭

Gold Rathian has to take the cake never lands, flash bombs don't work in Ice-borne, tailspin even when blocked moves you around in ways where it is easy to get hit on the back and lastly the most infuriating move to GL main the charged fireball even with max evade extender you can't back hop fast or far enough to avoid the explosion forcing you to block it the tempered one that most often appears in grinding lands takes half your hp with this move even when you have 15-20 fire resistance and level 5 block with all the pressure it's really hard to put away your weapon and potion. Basically forcing you to engaging waiting for health augment to kick in but if you get hit it's night night oh and did I mention she does not like to land so even hitting her out of air can be a pain.

I always call Almudron "Crocodile Weasel"

Honestly would have swapped out Almudron for something like Gypceros, Plesioth, or even Yian Garuga (IMO, probably someone’s fave lol) if we want to really get into annoying territory. I personally have a distaste for monsters who spend so much time flailing around, and then you factor poison and stuns into it (both in the case of Gypceros) and you just get a monster who isn’t worth the trouble. And while its fake death gimmick is funny the first time… it’s also just kinda like “ok just get up so we can keep going with the fight” every other time. I play IG so that may factor in why I find the flailers more annoying. Getting hit in the air halts any momentum and sends you crashing down, where you’ll likely get hit again. Contrasting that with Almudron, who always felt fair to me and interesting with it’s otter like vibes and unique mud structures. Rise gives a ton of options for IG aerial mobility, making it a breeze to deal with it.

I love hunting raging brachy and almudron, but I actually dislike fighting normal brachy compared to raging because normal brachy's slime pools stick around so much longer, while raging's explode almost immediately

I feel like I'm in the minority because Lavasioth was actually really easy to predict and stagger even without a cooling drink, he kinda just staggered and fell down Might be because I'm used to fighting Jyuratadus he just came off as a fire version of him

Last year I did a full series replay of Monster Hunter. I genuinely would not suggest anyone go out of their way to play MH1 because of how absurdly annoying several monsters are in that game, straight up mind numbing

I’m just about to try raging brachy tonight 😳. Guess I’m gonna get clapped lol.

cant believe plesioth wasnt mentioned

Almudron's ai is pretty brilliant though. Makes the fight challenging.

I hate Barioth, fighting him is a real chore when he leaps from one end of any given area to the other repeatedly. Having to do a 100 meter sprint to get a single hit in every 15-20 seconds is a pain in the rear

The effing pikachu of the franchise (los/thian). It' 20 years capcom splash them in every title, and not once were fun to kill....

Plesioth in Monster Hunter. You have to fish it with frog plus insane hit box.

was expecting hip check king plesioth, not my Mayweather with exploding gloves/body

almudron and tigrex are the only two species i have ever wished were deleted

I don’t find cephadrome annoying in the slightest. The older games put more emphasis on gathering. They don’t want you to run after the monster like you’re chasing a chicken all the time.

- lavasioth can be kept soft with torch pods and fire weapons - the only pic i dont agree with is raging brachy in iceborne, this one can cover the map yes but you have the tools to stop it Like.. Compared to super brachy in 3u (super fast explosion spammer enraged 90% of the hunt... my god the nightmare) and raging brachy in 4u where your attacks make the arm explode on yourself,, iceborne raging is enough of a upgrade to make it fun but very difficult - oh oh you have so many monsters to add later in the list, the ever running tigrex, any kushala pre rise, the time staller plesioth, possibly even diablos when it digs so often (i miss monoblos that stays for longer on the ground) Some people might say uragaan or gobul but i really like them compared to how people find them annoying

The most annoying part about Cephadrome is him not having his own unique armour set for some reason

the mobility loss from mud is a lot less in Rise than in World so i never cared about it. not only that, the damage from standing in mud is only when he's enraged. also, unlike in World, the mud in Rise lets you roll normally when you are slowed. in World, if you try to roll it forces a superman dive that frees you from the slow movement debuff but that's at the cost of draining all of your stamina at once. this is far worse if you have water blight, which makes stamina regenerate half as fast as normal. i also found that the move where he makes the mountains of mud to then motor launch mud at you is used fairly rarely in the fight. the other 2 monsters, i agree. there may be some that are more annoying than lavasioth but i understand... cephedrome, yeah that's one of the worst in the series. especially in MH1 but rathalos pulls similar nonsense with flying in that game too so he's not alone. thankfully that game and its G rank are alone with both of that issue and the atrocious controls. hey. at least it's not old school raging brachy, where the explosions feel random when in melee range. they added the dynamic of if time passes parts gain more dangerious variations of attacks but if you whack them you turn them back to normal. just be careful when the active slime fall off because it blows up soon after. this made the fight a lot better. i like the fight. i started on that update going back and fourth with either cheesing him with IG so explosions weren't an issue, as i glued to him like an horse fly, or being terrified of him as i tried to HBG him in kirin armor to increase my chances at a rare drop. that's not the only story i have for why i take a monster less seriously now, do to a self imposed challenge i regretted but laugh at now. that would be me hunting master rank Crimson Glow Valstrax, while drunk because i was asked if i was free for that hunt after a party, with a HH that i failed to notice had no healing songs. a hunt where i carted twice and my champion of a student didn't die once when this was our first MR go at him so we won.

...We went a whole "most annoying monster" video without Plesioth somehow. Torch pods and fire weapons on a hunting buddy do make Lavasioth less annoying. It's kind of just forgettable to me. Raging Brachydios I actually enjoyed despite its insane difficulty, though.

I nominated other hunters, the one with cluster,wyvern fire,upper cut spammers.

Wait until bro finds out about Pariapuria from Frontier 💀

The only fish that gets a pass is Beotodus

can i put kushala on this list lol i hate that thing

Lunestra and thats the end of the video

Tbf. I actualy love Almudron(might be my fav monster from Rise). He is probably the most well made mud monster in the series so far. It realy depends on what playstile you have. I play SA with moves that let me cover big distances so i never realy had trouble evading his moves, it's actualy realy fun to do so. But if there is a fight i hate it's Nibelsnarf and Kushala in world.

"No two monsters (wyverns) are the same." he says Four dromes (esp gia & velo) Izuchi Baggi Jaggi Radobaan Uragaan Lunastra Teostra Narwa x3 etc

Peoples complaigning about Lavasioth Me: leveling my Volcanic Area to lv7 hunting Dodogama and Lavasioth: 🐱

Imagine not having black veil hazak as number 5 lol

So i've got 2 1. Lavasioth is much MUCH worse in Frontier. It does tons of damage for the point you fight it at, its so tall that only the longest weapons can hit its body without a knockdown and its legs are super well armored. Also it frequently jumps into the lava in the background and then its just a waiting game. 2. Khezu. Fuck this thing. It's slow as hell but still ridiculous. Its moves are almost impossible to dodge sometimes, it roars ALL THE TIME, it's stupid paralysis ball spread shot is so annoying, its tail is super armored and it loves to jump back any time you get round to its side.

I'll defend almudron as CB user. Turning his Giga Tail Slam into Guard Point SAED is satisfying. Also I particularly didn't like a monster that hard to telegraph, for example: Khezu and Bulldrome

My most hated fight is crystalbeard uragaan. Why? Look at the hitzones, look at the health, tell me does that look fun to fight? He even has ai issues if you are in multiplayer so that hes only rolling amd spamming the roll bombs.

Fought Almudron once and never did it again. I just hate its wonky hitboxes

Firt gen Rathalos, old rathalos legit just flying around wasting your time! at least Caphedrome can be stunned by sonic bomb.

It's the vespoids, they should've made them more aggressive in world

I like how many of this annoying fights are basically, an old monster with janky hitboxes or a new monster with janky hitboxes. Lavasioth in generations was for me a fun fight, but world had to make things "unique" by making the monsters annoying, in many cases, with unfair mechanics or prolonged hitboxes, which is my main issue with ragging brachy in world for example... If i did a list it would be rajang first, kushala daora world version, and many more from iceborne, i dont know how they did it, but adding hunter potato movement on a expansion with ffast as hell monsters was dumb. At least in rise you can be as fast as then, it feels ffun not frustratingg.

Bullfangos and Vespoids are the final boss of annoying monsters

Fighting Plesioth is so annoying, plus with the broken hit box I will never want to fight this thing again

Also I think it's insanely reductive to call all souls enemied samey meanwhile MH monsters can have incredibly linear attack patterns

Bullfango solos 🗿

for me it's khezu for one reason IT WONT STOP SCREAMING same with volvidon freaking chimeric bear dillo anteater whatever it is
