If you want some Dragoon vs Dragon writing inspiration. I present this short clip from Monster Hunter World; Iceborne of an awesome player(Not Me) using the Insect Glaive against Fatalis who is a beefy Black Dragon that has some intense fire.
Insect glaive while not a spear par say is very similar to one and they love their Jumping moves ingame, especially for epic cinematic avoidance of attacks.

I may not be entirely in sync with all the daytime people, but I'm also never going to get entirely use to the bustle that these people get up to with so many in one place. So having the slow nights more to myself at times is nice when you just want to think and enjoy the lovely sky as Nhaama rises.

I have a headcanon that Xaela tend to have really nice abs, my initial logic for this was purely....girls with abs look great(So do girls without abs, but still....aaaabs). Then a friend pointed out how Lizards aren't known for their high body fat percentage. Which makes me go, huh that makes sense that Au Ra in general might have a lower body fat percentage compared to humans. Which would have its pros and cons.
Either way, Xaela abs.

Zoissette found herself resting against a tree in front of the Company House. She couldn't say when, but at some point she felt like someone else was around. Looking down and to the right, sure enough Yesuntei had appeared, leaning against the tree arms crossed in the same manner as her.
There was a small smile toying at the corner of the pale xaela's lips even as she tried to keep the straight neutral expression Zoissette had from being mostly deep in her own thoughts previously.
Though, Yesuntei didn't say anything, deciding for the moment to let Zoissette enjoy the calm quiet of the garden. Even as she continued to cheerily mime the Elezen's posture and expression while trying not to smile too much.

They have their differences, but they both still have Xaela Abs.

"Welcome to Gage's Carbaret," Yesuntei remarked cheerfully. "Where fantasy becomes reality," Taliss added with sultry undertones. "Our drinks will tantalize your tongue like the seven heavens!" "And burn your throat like the seven hells!" "Now, what can we get for you tonight?" Both Xaela asked in unison while hooking their arms together.

Did I hear someone coming? Hope its not Erick again, I'll get another dressing down later about how a swimsuit is required in the bathhouse. Though he did dash off rather fast last time, like he'd seen a ghost.

PoV of Yesuntei asking Erick for a favor. "The funny thing is, I know you're playing me. But you're right, I am susceptible to this. Go right ahead." - Erick Gage

GIven when FF14 did the Monster Hunter World Crossover, it occured to me of another Monster that would have been cool to do in it instead of Rathalos. Though Rathalos wasn't a big surprised since he is basically the Flagship monster of the series, appearing in basically every single one and is one of the most recognizable Monsters of the games.
Though another monster that would have been cool, especially since it's first appearance was in world is Odogaron, affectionately known by the Community as Clifford the Big Red Dog. He'd of fit right in with Stormblood given how his facial features are reminiscent of Japanese Oni and Oni Masks.
Even the armor you make in Monster Hunter for him has a very Oni look with the head mask.

However unlike Rathalos, Odo doesn't have any real special abilities like breathing fire or poison. He is most known as being extremely fast and agile, attacking relentlessly. So that'd be interesting to see them try to emulate in the FF14 combat mechanics.
His special enrage further increases his damage and ferocity, leaving him with steam coming out of his nostrils. The special thing in his fight due to his really wicked frontal talons is he has a chance to apply a heavy bleed dot on the hunter if he hits them. Ingame you remove this dot by either squatting down and staying still for a short period or eating some Astera Jerky(That you should definitely have brought with you). The latter being the preferable option given standing still with him jumping around is ill advised.
Odo even has a rather kicking battle theme for when you fight him.

All in all this is just me musing, Rathalos was a fine monster for a crossover. But playing through World again I just can't help but think that Odogaron would have also been a really cool monster to have used instead.

Random musing, if I chose a theme for Yesuntei as her WoL theme for those epic climatic moments. Like her embracing being the WoL for the first time after coming to Eorzea. Or during certain pitch fights when the WoL starts to break the limits as only the WoL can do against insurmountable odds.
Then it'd probably have to be "Proof of a Hero" rendition from Monster Hunter World. It has some really nice triumphant build ups with horns that really give the sense of you conquering all adversaries both internal and external.
Just feels like it would fall into place with someone from a place like the Steppe among other more wild locales.

"The duel was over, the WoL had won, or at least that's what they had thought. Meanwhile Sadu had ideas about a close quarters round two."

Steamy Relaxation
Erick strode into his bedroom after having almost dashed in, while he wasn't technically running from his Personal Aid Yesuntei. He was also trying to avoid her, as she'd had a stacked folder in hand while talking to Dark Autumn. They'd been exchanging pleasantries, but that folder meant the odds that Yesuntei had something for him to deal with was rather high. She was a boon and a bane, the Xaela was an extremely efficient aide which could be rather bad sometimes when it came to business. She still hadn't quite grasped some of the intricacies of business, of not immediately replying to every contract request, how that sometimes running the clock down was needed to acquire a more lucrative deal for the company.
He let out a more relaxed sigh before heading to the attached bathroom in his private quarters. The hyur turned the shower on before undressing and slipping inside closing the glass doors to let the steam fog them up. Private showers were not a common household utility, they were a luxury item due to the plumbing and cost of setting them up, not to mention the cost in ceruleum to run the generator to heat the water. However, luxury was something Erick would always enjoy when given the opportunity.
Erick made sure to take his time and enjoy the hot water, since when he was done, he'd have to try and duck back out of the company house without Yesuntei catching him. Eventually he shut the water off, the valves creaking slightly as they were closed, and the rush of water turned into a dripping dribble. He stepped out of the shower and started to reach for a towel before he felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end.
He closed his eyes and sighed, "No Erick, you're being a fool, she isn't behind you right now because that'd put her in the shower."
"No, I'm not behind you Erick, I'm in front of you." Came a soft-spoken voice.
Erick's eyes opened and he had to resist the urge to jump straight up as Yesuntei was indeed standing in front of him. The shorter woman had her head tilted upwards, her blue eyes with their bright limbal rings gazing up at the soaking wet and very nude Erick. Despite this Erick did manage to only slightly jolt in surprise. "Seven hells! Yesuntei, you can't just walk into my bathroom while I'm showering!"
Yesuntei quirked her head to the side slightly, "Why not? Everyone hangs out in the company hot tub together some nights." Her tone indicated that the xaela woman really did not understand what the issue was at all.
"That's different, people are still somewhat clothed." Erick stated, not quite knowing where to start with this one as sometimes he still didn't quite get if it was just a cultural thing or if Yesuntei was just being extremely coy.
"Yes, I do find it odd that you insist people wear a, -bathing suit- in the tub." She replied while air quoting the last part.
"I'm not the only one that would, I'm just the one that went out to relax in the tub and found you using it."
"You really didn't relax all that much that night, after your eyes got really big you nearly ran right through the door to the company house." Yesuntei remarked wryly a rather small smirk on her lips.
"You were naked!" Erick shouted out a bit too loudly in hindsight. Thank the gods he had invested in some sound proofing for his bedroom to keep out prying ears.
Yesuntei shrugged, "That is how I normally bathe, even if it is for relaxation. Nudity isn't inherently sexual."
The Xaela's words made Erick blink, suddenly realizing that not only was he still naked, but that he'd gone from trying to chastise Yesuntei to debating her on the propriety of nakedness. He paused and drew in a breath, letting it out slowly as he grabbed the towel he had been reaching for earlier, wrapping it around his waist. "Nevermind all that, what do you want?"
She smiled cheerfully back at him and raised up a clipboard in one hand and a pen in the other, "I need you to sign these."
"These are the contract forms for the antique buyer in Ul'dah." Erick stated after glancing over the front form. "We're waiting on that."
"But he's extremely eager to purchase those vases, and you really want to sell them, so it can all be resolved without delay." Her voice was still cheerful but there was a certain amount of confusion in it as well.
Erick pinched the bridge of his nose as he thought for a moment, "Look, Yesuntei, I appreciate your work ethic. But in business, some things you don't want to resolve immediately. If I wait a few days, and make him think someone else is maybe giving a higher offer, he might raise his own."
The pale skinned xaela tapped her chin with the pen briefly, "But resolving a situation to the mutual benefit of both parties allows both to resume their other activities. That is generally how things were on the steppe."
"Yes, but on the Steppe your deals involved food, needed resources, if you didn't resolve them then your tribes would end up fighting, right?"
"That's right, yes." She nodded.
"Right, critical resources, these are Vases. If they get bought, we make Gil, if they don't get bought, we don't make Gil but we don't go to war or anything. I just end up sad from the lost opportunity." He elaborated, hoping his explanation would help.
"I see, but the company not making gil in a sure thing would be bad, and you being unhappy would made Meya unhappy. So it is better to resolve it as soon as possible so everyone can be happy!" She replied holding the clipboard up again.
Erick sighed and scratched the back of his head, "We'll deal with this in a couple of days, Yesuntei, not right now in the middle of the bathroom with me almost naked. What would Meya think if she walked in and saw this scene right now?"
Yesuntei just smiled brightly, "That you're finally getting down to business?"
Erick just stared blankly at the young xaela woman. One could almost hear his brain crashing from that sudden line that had been spoken so innocently yet could have several different meanings, meanings that he was positive the Kagon was aware of. He blinked after a moment, "You did that on purpose."
"I don't know what you mean Erick," Her tone was very much one of sunshine mischief now.
"Anyway... as I said, we'll deal with the contract later. Now please, I'm not going to get dressed in front of my aide."
"Of course!"
Erick closed his eyes and sighed, half debating getting back in the shower so he could relax again. When he opened them Yesuntei was gone, having left without a sound. "How in the blazes does she do that?"
@erickgage , as well as @autumnslance ,@healerstail for the mentions.
