OK, a quick summary of my feelings of monsters (didn't got to the elder dragons in the update yet):

my most liked monster: Arzuros (as always, I love that guy)
most elegant monster: Mizutsune
ugly, ugly: Khezu
most frustrating monster: Basarios
most terrifying monster: Zinogre
most epic monster: Magnamalo (that music alone)
most difficult monster: Zinogre
most respectable beard: Almudron

What are your feelings?

EDIT:

most terrifying sound: Rathalos drawing a deep breath

I actually really like Khezu a lot, mainly because it's the only Lovecraftian monster I've encountered in the game. 

Design wise I otherwise like Nargacuga the most.

And if you look a couple of posts back in this thread, you can probably guess that Zinogre is for me so far the most difficult monster (but as I said I've not fought Tigrex in high level yet and on low level I found that to be the most challenging monster).  

Well, I don't think Khezu is really scary or anything, which just leaves it as ugly. I cannot avoid the comparisons to Tri, as this was my first MonHun game, and it contains a monster which is on the surface pretty similar to Khezu and that is Gigginox. But Despite the superficial similarities Gigginox was a lot scarier. Maybe the music, the fact that you encountered it only in caves which were a bit creepy to begin with, and the fact that it changed color and it's moveset played a role here. But Gigginox wasn't just ugly, it was creepy and fun to fight. Khezu just looks ugly. Well, my feelings about that at least.
