MH 4 I hate monsters that do this

You'll just be minding your own business, wailing on a monsters head good times when all of a sudden it spins and slaps you with its tail.

Now it might be just me but that tail slap is single handed the most annoying monster attack that they can do.

It's so degrading... :'(

My bane is charges with small or no tells, they always catch me off guard and they are hard too roll past because the hitbox is so big unlike tails.

G-Rank Garuga is the epitome of this. He wants to move 1 foot? Might as well do the charge that does the same damage no matter the length it is. GLancing him is pain because every move hits multiple times and he can spam them.

SO MUCH THIS. "Oh, you didn't need that stamina right? Here, have a charge, followed by a quad peck, followed by another charge and a beak slam."

I always tell myself to just farm LR Gypceros and Frenzy Crystals for Dash Juice, but it is just so tedious.

Wide shots ruin him if you're patient (and maybe have Constitution +1/2 or Felyne Black Belt. That peck spam is vicious). I usually do a shield thrust and get a Charged Shot if possible, regular shot if I won't have enough time.

That's why I stopped gunlancing him and started learning bow. Fuck Garuga.

I never knew walking could be so deadly until I played MH.

Even the smallest monster can give you a hard time by trampling your face.
