Top Ten Best Monster Hunter Flagship Monsters

A list on the best flagship monsters in all of the Monster Hunter games. A flagship monster is a monster that is the mascot of that game, main goal a Hunter works towards and an overall big part in the story and game objective. Which one is your favourite.
The Top Ten
1 Gore Magala/MH4U

Gore is easily the best representative of a monster hunter game. Being that the game he stared in was my first monster hunter game, he easily became my favorite due to his awesome fighting style, unique way to weaken you and looks. He is the main focus of 4U's story, so he has to be created for the challenge, and capcom succeeded. If you need to know why he's #1, look him up on images. There's your answer

Intimidating, powerful, an interesting fight with unique mechanics and very well done build-up and story integration, Gore Magala does everything right. Much better than any of the previous flagships, in my opinion.

2 Tigrex/MHF2/MHFU

No word can describe the feeling of landing the final blow on the Tigrex. It almost kills you in the intro to the game, threatens you in a few quests then when the time for the battle with your rival finally comes... you will probably be destroyed. Again and again. It feels impossible at first but you start to learn using the environment to your advantage, memorising it's attack patterns and finding a way to dodge it's merciless charging. This monster is merciless, he doesn't give you a second to rest and a built up rivalry all make you feel like a God when you finish it and make it into a helmet.

3 Nargacuga/MHFU

Badass design, extremely difficult and a good expanse of what a monster with Tigrex's body shape could do.

Best monster in terms of fun, disign, dynamics and rewards. It sure ain't an elder dragon but it's the most fun foe to battle.

4 Zinogre/MH3U/MHP3

Zinogre and its subspecies are the only species of Fanged Wyvern, so they are very unique both in move sets and designs.

Electric doggo of sick flips is my main man. I would put gore magala as a close second because he is my spirit animal.

5 Brachydios/MH3U/MHP3
6 Kushala Daora/MHFU/MHF2

Although barely known as a Flagship Monster it is a metallic dragon. Yes, A METALLIC DRAGON. So badass going near it makes you fall over from the strength of the wind produced by it's wings. This monster proved that size wasn't everything to some of the previous hulking Elder Dragons.

What's cooler than a Metal Plated Dragon that controls storms?

That's right, I didn't think so.

By far the best elder dragon, best flagship and my second favorite monster so yeah

7 Lagiacrus/MH3 Tri

I think that all the flagship monsters are amazing, they're all very awesome and creative in their own right and all very formidable monsters. But I think that the Lagiacrus did the best job of representing its respective game, with Tri introducing underwater combat. Not only did it look cool and feel fun to fight, but it did a better job than any other of being intimidating and challenging. He truly felt like a Lord of the Seas when fighting him underwater, and his speed, grace and aggression let you know that you were playing by HIS rules. I don't care what new moves they try to give him, he'lol never again reach his former glory without underwater combat.

8 Rathalos/Rathian/MHF

THE flagship monster for the Monster Hunter series. The Raths tie the games together in a way that no other monster can hope to do. But I will say that as a veteran monster hunter, I am biased in favor of the Fire Wyverns. I just wish Capcom would put more effort into integrating them a storyline for once. The wyvern is fantastic, but the producers are jerks.

Basically the one that ties all the games together. Monster Hunter just isn't Monster Hunter without the Rathalos.

Brilliant Monsters however although they laid the foundation they didn't expand upon it.

9 Seregios/MH4U

I like the Seregios because it has an wild and cool look, fast, and somewhat hard to beat. it goes in the the top for me because it is one of the only invasion monsters in the flagships besides Rathalos.

10 Nergigante/MHW

The build up for nerg and his fight is a long one to come in World's story, but it is a fun first time fight when you have to learn his fight pattern and his ability. Though before some updates, he was the second wall for people (first being the first anja for most) and gratefully so in my opinion. Though he changed with the updates and now is honestly easy if you know what you're doing. His concept being the eater of elder dragons is neat but what am I to fear when I could just bash his face in with a hammer. Cool battle theme though.

The Contenders
11 Deviljho

I love Deviljho because of how it like it was made by a child (in a good way)
seriously, mix a T-rex w/ a pickle and give it laser breath and a serious underbite, BAM, Deviljho
It is also a reflection of our voracious appetite, it eats its own tail for crying out loud!
what's not to love?

12 Glavenus

A dinosaur with a 15 foot ignitable tail. Tell me what is better besides the Tigrex.

13 Valstrax
14 Azure Rathalos/MH3U

It's been here since the first game, it's a subspecies and there is pretty much NO build up. Japan got the MUCH cooler Brachydios.

15 Hellblade Glavenus
16 Velkhana

One of the main antagonists of Monster Hunter: Iceborne.
From the beginning we know of its existence and show us with various cinematics and combats its power.
It is so powerful that we have two "practice" fights to train before the real challenge.
Dodge the ice laser, the stalactites, the ice floor and finally reach our rival.
And then it kills us with the tail.

17 Gigginox

I enjoy the gigginox b/c it actually taught me to observe my surroundings and be very careful with my antidotes. Also, I actually like Gig's design, plus the bio-luminescent highlights on the head and tail are pretty cool. Also, his armor, in terms of design, reminds me a lot of Assassin's Creed. Anybody else get that vibe?

18 Tamamitsune
19 Gammoth
20 Almudron
21 Magnamalo
22 Astalos
23 Raizex

Cool fight, but where do I get the feeling this monster ripped off seregios?

24 Rajang
25 Great Jagras
