It has been done. The votes are cast and after long and dreary fights the one and only monster of Monster Hunter, at least for 2009, has been found.

Meet Kushala Daora, Master of the Wind, He who-flies-a-lot, Snowballer personae. You all have crowned him the winner.

I very much thank all you visitors and voters and especially:

Inkoseh and LynxKano for letting me use their fanarts!

And so it is decided. The black bane against the storm. Naruga vs. Kusha. Who will be the monster of the year 2009?

You decide until 01/03/2009.

Four monsters have made it wading through gore and blood into the semifinals of RotR first character battle.

The semifinalists are:

Naruga Kuruga
The night cougar, fast and deadly. Introduced in MHP2G he only kills hunter on the PSP. Of all the monsters in the finals he is the newcomer. But don’t expect him to be a cakewalk.

Kushala Daora
The Elder Dragon of the Wind, first seen in MH2 on the PS2. A very intimidating presence, blowing beast and human away.

Rajang
If a monster goes Super Saiyan in MH, it’s Rajang. And he has a even more angry successor in MHP2G, let’s call it Super Saiyan 2. Noted first in MH2 on the PS2.

Lao Shan Lung
Old Mountain Dragon. A fitting name for the great slug. While huge and loud and all that the only danger he poses on hunters is the death by falling asleep. He’s in from MH for the PS2.

So make your first choice on the semifinals #1, where Naruga enters the Arena against Rajang.

Rajang makes it into the semis with a photo-finish just before Crimson Fatty.

To the last round:

Kushala Daora rides the storm into the semifinals.

Next up some rather random assortment of big, angry and sneaky.

Naruga, as expected, takes the ticket for the semifinals.

Next quarterfinal:

And as the last contender Felyne (~nya) edges out Melynx for the quarterfinals.

Which will start today. Four quarterfinal rounds with three monster each. After that the semi- and then the finals where two monster are facing each other in EPIC BATTLE AND MASSIVE DAMAGE!!!1!!1!!IOMG!!11Eleven.

Here we go.

Naruga, despite being the newcomer, enters the finals. Well met, dark thing.

This is the last round before the finals, and this time its all ~nya ~nya ~nya. I know I’m missing out on some monsters, but hey, not everybody is fit for the competition! They will show up on next years battle, for sure.

So vote now in the last round.
