MH Frontier Showcase: Baruragaru

Welcome to the Monster Hunter Frontier Showcase. Here, I try to show off most of Frontier's exclusive content before it gets shut down in December.
In this episode, I cover Baruragaru, A Leviathan with the ability to suck blood from its enemy and use it against them. He's arguably one of Frontier's most famous monsters.

People are constantly arguing between Khezu and Gigginox for the best leech monster, but this... This guy right here earns that award with actually implementing blood sucking into his gimmicks.

[@athos9293]

The best leech monster is Primordial Malzeno, he can fire a leech laser

[@songbird6414]

I mean we need more leviathans so I’m all for this guy coming along. Would be a much better frontier choice than Lavasioth.

[@goldenhydreigon4727]

ACTUALLY Lavasioth is a PISCENE WYVERN

[@songbird6414]

@@goldenhydreigon4727 I... yeah, that’s pretty obvious. I didn’t say he was a leviathan. I’m saying that we need more leviathans and I would much rather have had this guy take fish boy’s place in world than having fish boy.

I love baruraguru by far my favorite frontier monster

[@draw2death421]

I dunno. I kinda like Lavasioth

[@Mr._Sherwood]

Unironically, this this is a really terrifying monster. He's violent as hell and the blood draining thing is surprisingly graphic for monster hunter, what with all the blood on-screen. I hope he comes to the main series one day, it's one of Frontier's best designs, and considering that Sunbreak's new elder might also have vampiric undertones given what we've seen, might be time to bring the oversized leech out of retirement.

[@protocetid]

I like how it gibs other creatures, surprised it can do that since you don't see that level of violence anywhere else in Monster Hunter

[@Skulll9000]

You can cut -prey in half yourself if you kill them while they're airborne with a strong enough weapon back in MHFU.

[@jatinmarcob2128]

@@Skulll9000 I remember when I did that with a GS and was wondering where the velociprey went because if disappeared

[@arcticdino1650]

If there was one monster to come to the main games from frontier (Not counting Lavasioth and the bird) I would want this vampire loch ness monster

[@Godzillakuj94]

Wouldn't mind the main team giving this dude a slight redesign and popping him I with the rest of the Leviathans.

[@slenderhatesmillennials195]

I don't see any issues with his design though?.... like at all...

[@Godzillakuj94]

@@slenderhatesmillennials195 not a whole lot. I could just see them doing small touches to it like with Lavasioth.

[@slenderhatesmillennials195]

@@Godzillakuj94 Fair, probs decrease the AOE of its slicing whip-lash and probs have it target other bird wyverns if the dromes don't come along with it - like Pukei.

[@yurei4414]

Fun fact this guy was originally a scrapped concept of Tri, so it genuinely is one of the frontier monsters with the higest chance to return

[@slenderhatesmillennials195]

@@yurei4414 You're thinking of Kuarusepusu, not Baruragaru.

[@fawzanfawzi9993]

Why does frontier always have the most interesting monsters?

[@worldhello1234]

Frontier hasn't most interesting monsters because it is abandoned since December 2019.

[@Dennohhh]

@@worldhello1234 You clearly haven't played the main serie.

[@Shay3w]

That's because they tested a lot of things with Frontier, new skills, new monster (and new mechanic), new weapons and on and on. Since it isn't a "main monster hunter game" they had a lot more freedom on what to do.

[@mhfuwindowbird]

@@Dennohhh He said it doesnt have the interesting monsters anymore cause its been shit down bro

[@romelee2242]

Eh some of the monster in frontier are way over the top as in unrealistic

[@NARGATIGREX]

I absolutely loved this "MH Showcase" videos from frontier since I have never played this game. Your editing is amazing and all the explanation and info u gave to us is really good, keep doing this it's pretty unique

[@deltazone8195]

Never played Frontier so I might never experience these fights in person but your videos help give an insight of what makes them great. Thank you so much for that, however, you could improve the videos by keeping the same text style from the hunts in some way during the equipment overview as white over white is not fun to read.

[@kevinchavez4116]

Malzeno it’s shock in the background

[@archest_archie6085]

Late to the party on this but congrats on the localized name Barlagual, hope to see you in MH6

[@rodrigocastillo3425]

Imagine Capcom didn't show the sliced Great Girros in Acidic Glavenus first encounter in IB, but shows the murder of many Iopreys here.

[@chesterfieldthe3rd929]

This is a very well done video 👍. You should do all Monster Hunter Games.

[@smuglytherat]

The ones I wanna see most are Akura Vashimu, Gasurabazura, mi ru, and pariapuria, ,

[@Rubygillman593]

I love the high rank swamp theme

[@pack-gc9gt]

This monster is definitely, uh.. a bit of a tonal shift. It'd be pretty interesting to see him in a new MH as the first "wall" for players, considering that.

[@loafofgodlybread9225]

Here after it’s official localisation of Barlagual, highly hoping it’s in Wilds!

[@hansalanson3497]

This is the kind of monster I definitely don't want to meet as a random encounter in the open-map format of the 5th gen main series. You can just heal from carpet bombing, but sabotaging your weaponry with unblockable attacks is such a crippling power to face against.

[@nyarlathoteptheweebkiller7286]

this guy make the other invasive species look cute..

[@larriestern6728]

I like these. Very informative, keep it up.

[@tylermacgregor1320]

In general, I’m not a big fan of Frontier’s monster design philosophy. I think many of the designs feel very artificial fantasy, and lack both the creativity and biological depth of the main series’ monsters. That said, this is by far my favourite Frontier monster and I wouldn’t be the slightest bit disappointed if it came to the main series as is with little or no changes. I also like Espinas and the Kamu/Nono Orugarons.

[@pauliedee1951]

How are they very artificial fantasy? I mean i can see the monsters from monster hunter frontier z and monster hunter frontier z zenith. Monsters like Disufiroa many look overdesign but do have a reason for why look like that.

[@athos9293]

Frontier Monsters are creative. They all come with either very unique ideas or good executions for ideas that aren't unique. You've got both a rock-tunneling leviathan covered in weather-reactive organic crystals that interact with the enviroment and react differentely wether it's sunny or rainy, and just a pretty well rounded status monster that detonates explosive gas.

[@just_a_guy9688]

Could you do gogomoa. I would love to see it

[@cast3r_mh]

Just one question : is it classified as a high tier monster (like Espinas, Seregios or even Bazelgeuse) ? Because I'd really like to see it in sunbreak as a "special guest" like Bazel in the first title update of rise

[@Weedbongz]

He first appeared in a G-rank update, but was pretty early in G-rank. They made a Style Rank version and made it a key quest, so he's considerably harder here.

[@Amatsu_storm_approach]

@@Weedbongz Welp, I'm late, but in hunter notes has the same threat level as elder dragons like frontier kushala or frontier teostra and even pariapuria

[@genericgorilla]

"he doesn't have to be changed that much" I disagree, baru has so much blood going on, it would singlehandedly raise the ESRB rating to M, making it a no-go unless that stuff is tamed.

[@m64s32a1]

And that's why it's good, you are legit hunting big monsters yet there is no violence and blood going on, hope mh6 is different and is based on horror quests where you are hunted.

[@dragumkirisute1998]

Monster Hunter was never meant to be a children's game dude.... lmao

[@thomasc3815]

Wish World got more unique monsters like this in its roster. Most of the new monsters in that game didn’t have a cool gimmick or design. Just angry dog thing or T. rex with fire.

[@adamiadamiadami]

That doesn't apply to the majority of them lol.

[@adamiadamiadami]

And Frontier has the most generic, over the top, braindead repetitive designs you could point to. Most of the monsters that were released during the last 3 years especially were pretty much a lot of spikes + neon colours.

[@thomasc3815]

@@adamiadamiadami yeah, I guess you’re right. I just didn’t feel that there were a whole lot of brand new monsters that had this kind of thought process.

[@adamiadamiadami]

@@thomasc3815 I think there were, however Baru is definitely one of Frontiers' best monsters, i wouldn't mind a redesign for him to appear in the main series.

[@SilverWarrior95]

yeah, i feel you...World had an overall "disappointing" roster...with only 3 monsters taking my interest: Tobi, Nergi and Bazel, which was the best in my opinion.

[@krislee3155]

Can I ask what the music was during the showcase, it sounds familiar to me but can't put my finger on it.

[@Weedbongz]

It's Moga Village at night, exclusively in Tri. It's not in MH3U because there's no active day/night cycle, it's determined by the quest instead.
