I'm sorry, but I'm going to disagree with Rathalos being a good example. While there is an argument to be made that it is an unique fight, the mechanics are a snoozefest.

In P1 the only "dangerous" thing is the tailswipe at the front/back for melee

On phase change it's the mounting and hide-behind-an-obstacle that's noteworthy. But nothing we haven't seen before as the mounting is an action-event.

P2 is literally "If he looks at you, step aside to dodge". There's nothing else! Yeah, a stack that leaves a puddle and a DoT, but it's not like we haven't seen that before either.

Oh and Healers being 100% useless in P2 ain't good either, but it is again unique in combination with the Potion that they give you as a Duty-Action.
