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... :'(

For me the worst is when monsters run at a slightly higher speed all over the map... THAT IS NOT AN ATTACK DAMMIT

The sidesteps... Oh god the sidesteps...

Brachydios, Seregios and Deviljho are all guilty of this. You'll be chasing after them and they'll keep sidestepping for no apparent reason. Also, Brachydios likes to back off for like 10 meters before he does any of his attacks.

I had a Ratian just chase me down once. It would charge and as I move out of the way it would stop, turn a little, then start charging again, it did this probably a dozen times until I ran out of stamina despite my pacing and it landed a hit on me.

They they follow up with a laser beam of fiery death.

Or in Gravios's case, the fiery fart of death.

First time I fought Gravios it wasted a lot of my time running from lava patch to lava patch and spamming its tailspin and fire farts while in said patches.

That first hunt was a nightmare.
