I know "mandibles" mean jaws of any kind, but the word always reminds me of bugs. That, coupled with the "buzz" makes the name give off a insectoid flare that I'm sure they didn't intend. Because it's a buzzard. Not a bug. You can tell by the beak.
I'm not the biggest fan of the design, though. I prefer to think of my vulture as stooped and gangly, not all crumped up together. Perhaps they do this in real life, but when I want to see a picture of a vulture, I want to see them leering their head down, all sinister-like.
The bone in the hair is a neat touch, though. Also nice to see that Mandibuzz learns Bone Rush, which shows someone was actually thinking. I wish some Ghost types learned that move, actually.
aside from that, I guess Mandibuzz is just sorta boring to me. After the glory and grandeur that was Braviary, I was expecting its counterpart to be more evil and threatening.
Overall: 5/10
Its bone apron is a mandible
ReplyDeleteAlso, it woulda been awesome to have this be some kinda soviet vulture, too, but that never woulda made it past the radar.
