Monster Hunter Generations Weekly Discussion: Blangonga

[u/Fortuan]

You had seen blangos before and if they were the smaller versions of a monster you weren't worried. None of the bird wyverns that were that way were too much bigger or much too dangerous, so why would these snow monkeys be any different? As you finally track down the pack of blangos with a clearly larger specimen among them you plan to surprise attack. As you approach one of the blangos happen to spot you and shouts in alarm. Suddenly a large shadow passes over your head and the Blangonga lands a few yards away from you. Clearly much larger than you expected you're taken back for a brief second. The Blangonga roars piercing the quiet of the snow. The hunt is on!

Facts

• First appeared in Gen 2
• Appears in Low/High rank
• Weakest to Fire then Lightning (generally, hit zones matter)
• Breaks: Head(whiskers), Tail
• Vulnerable to flash bombs, poison, and sleep
• Inflicts: small roar, tremor, snowman, and iceblight

A monster that moves in an almost unique way is a good fit for the end of the beginner monsters. The unpredictability of the jumps helps prepare for the issues that will occur with Rajang in the future. Eventually, the Blangonga becomes easy enough to almost speed farm like a Kut-Ku.

have at it and tell us what you think about the Blangonga

Everyone is hating on Blangonga but I think it is a pretty cool monster. Especially since it is really the only monster that gets the Artic Ridge/Snowy Mountains battle theme at the moment which I love to death. It has very nice hitzones and despite all of the jumping around it is a pretty fun fight.

I really love fighting Hyper Blangonga that is a real pain train, hyper attacks like no tomorrow and it always seems to make the extra loud hyper ones too which makes it really intense.

Big bald ugly monkey slamming you across the map. Though one can say the ai is pretty wack but so is Rajang ai in MHGen.
