Do you remember what a big deal SE made of the first three Naakual models when they announced Seekers of Adoulin? Those pictures with the big *** bee, with a hume(?) for scale next to it? They were so proud of these new monster models, and rightfully so. They're not been reused much outside of Delve/WKR either - just Yggdreant (Yakshi) and Waktza (Palila) reappearing as Geas Fete mobs, and Arciela II summons in SR. So I kinda missed them and I welcome them back!
The armors always looked nice to me too, especially with the visual cues from the actual monsters they drop from. Weapons looking like they're carved from the big beasts (a la Monster Hunter), the Bztavian leg armor having a honeycomb design or the polearm looking like it's the bee's stinger, Waktza feathers on the hat, etc. Love it all, great mob & armor designs and great choice for reskins!
I actually always kinda wanted them to do a Sinister Reign v2 with the Naakuals just because I like seeing them (and maybe stick like... Hades, Siren, and Iroha in wave 3).
