Yup. I hadn’t fought him in a while and coming on him in Wilds was a “hah, this fucking chicken, c’mon buddy let’s put you down” kinda deal.

Until I actually fought him and he proceeded to beat my ass.

Kutku is deceptively tough for a lower tier monster, he’s super quick, his tells are minimal and he can launch attacks in 0.gofuckyourself.

It was quite refreshing actually

I’ve always loved kut ku since the OG because he literally is the “sit down and be humble” Wyvern.

Your gear is always at a level that you can’t just eat the spam and you have to actually learn it and wait for actual windows instead of “eh I can hit it while it does the tell for the next attack”

The new head slam into charge move hits like a truck and comes out of a move that reflexively for Kut Ku hunts used to be an opening, and is instead a homing missile now.

It made me drink way more potions than I was expecting, and was indeed refreshing.

As a Lance main who is new to the franchise.. reading all these posts is wild. Only thing he hit me with is that surprise head-burrowing charge and his tail whip. The fireballs never even came close.

That's exactly the thing. He had moves which used to have wide openings for attack on other games. So if you're used to old Kut Ku and pressed the attacks when you were used to doing so you got smacked around a bit more.

His fireballs do come out a lot faster than they used to too, but they weren't particularly bad either IMO.
