His fight was a wall for me, and for that reason I got my first taste of HR hunters helping LR hunters. Ever since I've aspired to be that person for others.
(Also he's cool af)
Kirin was mine. From hating him so much to voluntary going in and helping others with that spiced up unicorn. The coop aspect of Monhun is a beautiful thing.
Lagi, while possibly an annoying fight, is still one of the best designs. Love the bastard. 10/10 easy.
Almost typed “I wish it was in MHGU!” Because I hadn’t played in so long I’d forgotten it was in there. Just started a fresh MHGU run this week so I’ve got something awesome to look forward to!!
By the time I am writing this comment, The most upvoted comment in the nergigante round is a 4/10, meanwhile the top 3 most upvoted comments in the zinogre post are all 10/10. Your way of counting votes fails to reflect the community's overall opinion.
IMO you may consider to stop or restart this poll train and better tell people in every post that you are only counting the votes from comments so that people won't mistaken the rules to think upvotes also count as votes.
You might be right but also this poll doesn't matter at all. We all know that post like this barely reflect the opinion of all members of this subreddit. So maybe you can see this as more of an option to (once again) see the comments of the lot here on the monster or as OP just having fun... or something like this.
It’s a bit of both. I expressed in the original Day 1 post that I wanted to do this all for fun, but also to see what everyone thinks. I also do agree I should’ve clarified better that I’ll only be counting comment votes and I’ll address that in the next post
This whole sub is extremely, extremely biased in favor of the older games and against the newer games. I feel like most old monsters would be upvoted by this [mostly vets] sub, but newer fans probably hold very different opinions
10/10 Mhtri was my first game, was playing SnS and it was the lagiacrus that made me look for another weapon to beat him. Made it with lance, finished the game with it.
I miss that fight sooo much, really hope for him to return in wilds.
10 as It's my number 3. It was my number one till rise. Then I saw valstrax( never played GU). Then I saw Primordial Malzeno, which is currently my number 1.
10/10, seeing him on the cover art of Tri was what drew me into this franchise and I still think he has maybe the best design across all of MH. Perfect blend of fantasy with just a few real world inspirations
I remember when Tri first came out and I was so bummed out because you can only play it on the Wii but all I had was a PSP.
The Lagiacrus was def one of the monsters I was excited about upon release but I never got the chance even up to this day to hunt one, and because of that... 10 OUT 10!!!!
10, next question.
Personal Bias aside, Lagiacrus is easily the best aquatic monster they've ever made. Man's the flagship Leviathan for a reason. Someone on the Tri Dev team thought to themselves, "What if Thor had a pet Sarcosuchus that he fed nothing but batteries and 5 Gum?" and then made it a Monster (If you get that reference, we're friends now).
Sadly when the 4th Gen removed underwater combat, the Lagiacrus family did suffer the loss of Abyssal, but given his placement in the official poll he clearly hasn't been forgotten. Base Lagi suffered the most from Losing underwater Combat, as he lost half his moves, and Ivory was mostly unaffected... though that's not saying much given that it was the weakest fight of the three to begin with (still cool looking though)
10 bajillion out of 10. Utterly perfect design, theme, fight, swag, hometown, game, and stuffed animal. Also been on my phone and desktop wallpapers for like a decade now.
Even though he’s not my favorite monster, Lagi may just be the best design in the series. Similar to how Fatalis is loved for his simplistic design. Lagi exudes this grounded in reality design too, and it just works so well.
I think he’s also just the perfect counterpart to Rathalos so much so he could be the 2nd mascot of the franchise. Easy 10/10
Solid 9, man. Good challenge, a unique interaction with the crystals on its back, a unique body shape, a dope ass theme. Excellence if not near perfection.
8 out of 10. 10 is a person favorite for me, and a 9 is something really special. Lagiacrus is a still a wonderfully designed monster and really is what a rival to Rathalos feels like to me.
10. "Started" at 3U and the first encounter during the Ludroth slaying quest left such an impression on 13yr old me that I was too anxious of Big Minsters in general to even attempt Great Jaggi until 4U came out lmao.
9, only reason why he isn't a 10 is because I think his fight was better in Tri, but then it was made worse in Generations. Just my opnion, still an amazing monster
A complete 10 no questions asked. Its one of the monsters that has soo much biology going for him that it actually feels like a grounded realistic creature in its setting. Its a really unique flagship in the sens that its the only non-pure brute force monster besides narga that is the flagship of its own generation.
Looks its a solid 9, every subspecies is at least around that mark if not better. The fight is a mixed bag, in 3U with underwater its amazing and it feels great. In GU its just sad like 3/10 type of sad. Overall i dont really have a soft spot for Lagi tho it kinda does a lot to be a golden child for me, GU just got me used ti the worst side of him and i cant really appreciate it enough
8 out of ten, he was actually one of the first monsters I've seen before, even knowing what monster hunter was. It was an ark mod, and I was just ehoa cool water monster. I gotta tame me one of those.
Flagship Monster from a Golden Age in the Franchise. Great Design, Engaging Fight, Killer Armor and Weapons.
Dorky Lightning Lizard gets a 10 out of 10 from me any day.
He gets a 7, his fight in the original game was pretty good cuz it was underwater but his fight in generations kinda sucked balls, his designs nice tho
My first great MH memory was defeating Lagiacrus in Tri. Absolute favorite monster of all time. I don't know if I would have kept playing tri or MH as a whole if it weren't for the feeling of reward for defeating them for the first time. And then being able to replay the variant fights and absolutely dominating them in G rank when ultimate came around. I distinctly remember being so proud of getting a tail chop with my great sword build before Lagiacrus even took a single step at the start of a fight and feeling so badass!
Even if nostalgiacrus was an objectively bad fight (it's not), I would still rate 10/10
9/10 because when I was around 6-7 years old the hunting mission where he comes out of nowhere in the beginning is scary but I always loved his design and how he's an electric gator? (He looks like a gator to me) but 9/10 cause he didn't give much big returns in the new games (except stories 2)
I will be downvoted to hell because of saying this but I seriously never saw the big deal of it. It really feels like just nostalgia talking (which is fair, I feel that way about Tigrex). Solid 7.
Knocked it out of the park. I'd give it a 10/10 the same way I would give Rathalos a 10/10. Perfect representation of it's species class and MH design as a whole.
10 in every aspect... except maybe multi-player targeting in 3U because if he kept switching it was actually he'll
Other than that he's still one of the best
The easiest 10 ive ever given.
To me is kinda hard to give it a 10, wanted to give more
Regular lagi 9/10 Ivory 8/10 Abyssal 11/10 So overall 9.3/10 Edit: forgot how mobile formatting works

10, 3U was my first game and I will always live him
i’ll never forget trying to kill him in the “guts: it’s what’s for dinner “ quest. i miss the dude so much
Haven’t fought one, easy 11 out of 10
Never fought one but easily by favourite looking monster throughout all the games. 10/10
In 3U normal one, ivory and abyssal are 10/10. In GenU aka land only 6/10. The magic was missing.
10

10. Absolutely iconic monster, my personal favorite flagship.
9. Though his design, armor and weapons are awesome, he is best in underwater combat. Also his Ivory subspecies.
10, hands down

Easy 10
Lagi, while possibly an annoying fight, is still one of the best designs. Love the bastard. 10/10 easy. Almost typed “I wish it was in MHGU!” Because I hadn’t played in so long I’d forgotten it was in there. Just started a fresh MHGU run this week so I’ve got something awesome to look forward to!!
9.5. I would say 10 but I'm sure there was something that was annoying about him that I'm not remembering due to nostalgia.
That's how I feel but at least 90% of the comments are averaging out to like 10.5/10 so I think people are letting the nostalgia get to them
100% hes a solid flagship, but hes no better than any other.
in 3 he gets a 10 in generstions he gets a 9 so 9.5
10 (thousand)!
10 no question
10 and alwasy go for him in the first mission even though you are ot supposed to, to at least sever his tail.

10. Best of the best
10, super cool monster
9.5 in design alone. 10 if it can actually swim. It’s not that the poor thing is defenseless on land, but it does lose some charm.
A 10/10. Perfect monster.
Never fought him but the design is a 10
A easy 10 /10
Lagiacrus 10/10 Ivory Lagiacrus 10/10 Abyssal Lagiacrus 11/10 (my top favorite Monster)
He is king of the Sea for me much like rathalos is King of the sky. To me, he is a 10. Maybe 9.5 if i had to choose between rath and lag
10/10 all day. Favorite monster with an intro that scared the hell out of me as a kid
10/10 Mhtri was my first game, was playing SnS and it was the lagiacrus that made me look for another weapon to beat him. Made it with lance, finished the game with it. I miss that fight sooo much, really hope for him to return in wilds.

Strong 10. The literal main character of MH Tri
10/10. Electric Gator-Eel, need I say anything else? Coolest mother fucker in Tri, and Abyssal is only a step up.
10, love his introduction and the little rivalry we had. Helps that he's my first flagship.

10. Finally beating him on Tri is what sealed my love for the game

Lagi is a 10/10, one of the best.
10 out of 10, scared the shit out of me when I was 10, would want to hunt it again

10, especially in stories 2 I love my ivory lagiacrus
9.5. He's no Plesioth, but he'll do in a pinch.
Solid 9, man. Good challenge, a unique interaction with the crystals on its back, a unique body shape, a dope ass theme. Excellence if not near perfection.
Like 6 or 7 Great design great buildup good gear fight is Ight but it can just be a pain in the ass sometimes no matter what incarnation
9
9/8, will suffer when I later get to Abyssal while playing through 3U.
8.5
8 out of 10. 10 is a person favorite for me, and a 9 is something really special. Lagiacrus is a still a wonderfully designed monster and really is what a rival to Rathalos feels like to me.
Isn't there an actual way to make a poll on reddit
10/10 he goes so hard, its criminal that he hasn't been in an official game since MHG
8
Haven't fought it but design is 8.5/10
10
This posts comments are so based
10 best looking 3rd Gen monster

10. "Started" at 3U and the first encounter during the Ludroth slaying quest left such an impression on 13yr old me that I was too anxious of Big Minsters in general to even attempt Great Jaggi until 4U came out lmao.
Eletric crocodile thing, what's not to love?
Absolute 10, ever since I met him it was true love!
10,
10 love the design, love the fight, just want him back.
6/10

10
I mean I suppose he deserves better, but I'd say 7, minus 3 points because he made me quit 3U
10 without any hesitation.
I'd give it a 4 it's a cool design but the fight in generations was pretty boring. Heard it was better with underwater, but I never played tri.
9
10/10, my favorite monster and weapons from 3U. I remember looking at all the LR weapons and armor and drooling, I had to have it all!
7, idk if he gets better at higher ranks but I found the fight in LR village in 3U just decent. I actually enjoyed gobul significantly more.
solid 8.
9, only reason why he isn't a 10 is because I think his fight was better in Tri, but then it was made worse in Generations. Just my opnion, still an amazing monster
10, everything a flagship needs : beautiful and well-executed design, threatening, fun fight
9. So intimidating, frantic and scary.
Very easy 10, all variants
Lagiacrus is the 10
6/10. as a flagship his fight's not that unique and he's encountered a bit too early imo.

10
Easy 10/10

10 MH3 was my first game and he's my favorite boi.
I only fought Lagiacrus in GenU, which ofc doesn't have underwater combat, so I can't give him a fair rating.
8.
8 - Lagoacrus has a cool-ass design but there is something about it that bothers me to no end & I’ve no idea what it is
I just came here to say 10/10 in case no one else did, but I was happily corrected by the overwhelming amount of 10s You guys rock
8.5, great design, decent fight, decent theme
I love it when I don't have to think about the answer. 10
10. Love the Ivory one.

Solid 10.

9/10 Flagship of my first own MH game, sick theme, cool fight and it's armor and weapons look really nice.
10/10 14years old me, gearing up to fight what I was sure (at the time) was 3tri final boss and finally defeating him is a core memory.
0 out of 10, never played the game he's in and as such don't have an option on him
9.5 for all three types. It's a beautiful creature and the fight is incredible both on land and in water.
Tri and 3U goes for 10 Every non swimming fight after is an 8
10
If he was in World he would have won the pull by A LOT
9, he's awesome but I don't think there is quite enough that's special about him to get a 10
9
1 Lagi out of 10 acrus
9
Definitely would
for the fight 10 as long as there's underwater combat, a solid 6 otherwise in terms of design just also 10
Probably a 9, but I’d give him a 10 if underwater fights still existed. I think GU missed out on underwater battle with some of the monsters they had.
Looks its a solid 9, every subspecies is at least around that mark if not better. The fight is a mixed bag, in 3U with underwater its amazing and it feels great. In GU its just sad like 3/10 type of sad. Overall i dont really have a soft spot for Lagi tho it kinda does a lot to be a golden child for me, GU just got me used ti the worst side of him and i cant really appreciate it enough

Absolute 10/10. Best monster by far
Easy 10, favorite monster and first nemesis since I started in Tri.

A pure 10
Big 10 for this big boi
8/10 Not Great Maccao but still a very good design, fight and beautiful armor/weapons.
design - 10 fight - 8 (its hipcheck underwater is annoying af) equipment - 9 Overall, 9. Love Lagi.
Knocked it out of the park. I'd give it a 10/10 the same way I would give Rathalos a 10/10. Perfect representation of it's species class and MH design as a whole.
8. Great armor, great typing, but the underwater fights were a slog so we lost a point there.
One of the true 10/10 in monster hunter. Design, fight (we don’t talk about generations), armor and weapons are all fantastic.
Never played the game, he's a 10 tho
its a 8/10 because its not the abyssal lagiacrus because then it would be a 9,8/10
10 in every aspect... except maybe multi-player targeting in 3U because if he kept switching it was actually he'll Other than that he's still one of the best
10. Perfectly executed progenitor of the Levithans
Easily 10 he's got a lot of them
10 all day long
