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.

Yeah, speaking as a MH Tri veteran, Gigginox is way, way cooler than Khezu. Especially when you fight him in that really dark cave just by torchlight.

Apparently Khezu is really popular in Japan which is why he was included in Rise over Gigginox, but the latter is easily the superior monster in my opinion too.
