Blue Plesioth (Piscinovipera thalassodraco) or simply known as Plesioth is the fictional species of wyvern-like neodiapsid introduced in Monster Hunter.


A large aquatic Piscine Wyvern. It is closely related to its subspecies, Green Plesioth, but are more distantly related to other Piscine Wyverm, including Cephadrome, Cephalos and Lavasioth.

Etymology

Plesioth could be named after the Plesiosaurus, an extinct, aquatic, long necked marine reptile of the Mesozoic. From the Ancient Greek: πλησίος (plesios), which means "near", due to closely to fish in appearance.

Physical Appearance

Blue Plesioths are bipedal monsters with a wyvern-esque body structure. They have webbed feet and a paddle-like tail and are covered in shiny, fish-like scales. Their mouth is filled with shark-like teeth, and their eyes glow a bright yellow. Their head and back feature large fins that can fold in and out at will.

Abilities

Blue Plesioth uses fins and upper fangs that cause sleepiness, much like a snake produces neurotoxic narcotic abilities that put the enemy asleep with a single touch or a single bite.


Blue Plesioth can shoot a water beam that is shorter than normal size and even bounce off with its hips. This is very hard to explain to scientists and the royal family as a hip check, a kind of offensive attack for players during ice hockey or basketball that is stronger than what Nicki Minaj called checking. It is considered an infraction or offensive in the National Hockey League, NBA, or PBA.


For its peculiar hitboxes and its hip check, Blue Plesioth is well-known. Even though these have been fixed in later appearances, jokes about them are still frequently made. Its actions are more passive and land-based; for example, it will use sweeping water beams, body slams, sleep-inducing liquid, fake sleep, and charges on foot, where it will attempt to run over hunters with its pointed spiked feet.


Blue Plesioth's roar requires Earplugs passive skill to block.

Weaknesses

It can be fished out with a frog in certain areas. When fished out with one, the Plesioth will not enter rage mode and will move for a few seconds, giving hunters plenty of time to deal great damage. Supplies and upgrades for the ammunition can be obtained during the hunt, and in some parts of the map, it's possible to fix the boat thanks to Felynes. Using a Sonic Bomb is an easy alternative to fishing out a Plesioth. Just be cautious that it will enter rage mode upon recovering. They dislike loud noises very much and will flail when audibly provoked, as their hearing is extremely sensitive.


Plesioth is fought differently in the main series; this, of course, means no carving is possible in open areas like water areas. You control a Fighting Fishing Boat (Hawaiian: 船喧嘩漁獲 / Waapa lawaiʻa kaua; Japanese: 戦闘漁船 / Sentō gyosen; Ilocano: Makilablaban a panagkalap bangka), a naval watercraft that resembles a miniature warship and catamaran designed for the express purpose of carrying one or more guns to bombard coastal targets. As opposed to those military craft designed for naval warfare or for ferrying troops or supplies to fight Plesioth at Great Open Ocean, the boat is equipped with a cannon or gun and different kinds of ammunition to fight the creature.


When near death, Plesioth won't enter rage mode if affected by a Sonic Bomb's sound. The Plesioth can be hit with a fishing harpoon to make it drop a shiny


When near death, Plesioth will put its dorsal fin down.

Ecology

Plesioth is a large ambush hunter. The creature can hunt both fish underwater and prey on the surface if it comes too close to the water's edge. Its defenses are somewhat poor, and it will try to avoid any kind of confrontation, be it on the surface or underwater. Plesioth are somewhat territorial, actively patrolling their turf until they find a suitable meal.


On land, it is most likely high in the food chain; due to its size, many monsters would not attack it. However, due to their limited mobility out of water, they are at risk from attacks from other large, more agile monsters, such as Rathalos/Rathian or Tigrex, so they never venture far from their native rivers or lakes.


Plesioths are more dominant underwater than they are on land, and since there is less competition, challenges would come mainly from the Leviathans, with Lagiacrus being a major threat, seeing as Plesioths are vulnerable to electric attacks, which the Lagiacrus utilize, but it is unknown what reaction they might pull if interacting with the Ceadeus and Nakarkos. Plesioth have also been known to prey on large serpentine crocodiles and other whales and squids that live within the Jumbo-Kamura and in Southeast Asia and Africa, according to Queen Arianna.


Plesioth do not possess gills for breathing underwater, so they have to come up for air every so often to fill their lungs with air. In addition to having lungs, these creatures can also breathe through their skin, like an amphibian or sea snake. Inside their fin's spines, a horrific neurotoxin can be found, much like lionfish's poisonous fins.


This toxin can make a victim fall asleep with a single touch or a single bite. The fins of Plesioth allow it to swim fast enough to pass a galloping horse. Covering a Plesioth's body are these shiny black scales used to hold in moisture. A scale from older Plesioth can fend off claw and fang attacks. Plesioth have powerful jaws that can crush the shells of carapaces and other armored species, making preying on those species easier. One of its most well-known features is its ability to breathe high-pressurized water at its foes. The water that it uses is swallowed while swimming before Plesioth actually uses it as a weapon.


Female members of this species are viviparous, and like some sharks, the first of the offspring to hatch will eat their either unborn or smaller siblings within the womb.

Behavior

Plesioths are ambush predators, adapted to stalking prey from the water and attacking by surprise. They can occasionally be seen on land.

Distribution and Habitat

Plesioth are commonly found in large bodies of water in a wide variety of environments, such as the tropical rainforest and broadleaf, mangrove forest, bamboo forest, coral reefs, and the waters surrounding them all over the world.


Within the Old World, Plesioth have been seen living in jungles, old jungles, deserts, misty peaks, and Great Fortress Lake. The aqautic wyverns also inhabit the deserted island and flooded forest of the Moga Region of the Island District Archipelago.


Tamed

Bullets were used to tranquilize and render Plesioth unconscious. While they were unconscious, they were fed meat, and if they were close to death, they would repeatedly overdose on drugs. When plesioth hatch from a pregnancy, they are quickly domesticated because the survivor is always present in the partner. If Plesioth isn't already tamed, you can do so by giving it fish eggs, meat, or carcasses.

Lore

Plesioth is one of the few animals in the Monster Hunter series for Marvel Studios, Capcom, and 20th Century Studios. Alongside Malzeno, Dah'ren Mohran, Rathian, Rathalos, Nargacuga, Velkhana, Kushala Daora, Gypceros and Purple Gypceros, Xeno'jiiva and Safi'jiiva, Lao Shan Lung, Gogmazios, Valstrax, Alatreon, Wind Serpent Ibushi and Thunder Serpent Narwa, Shen Gaoren, Chameleos, and Espinas, including the endemic life like Monksnail, Brewhare, Spiribird, Regalfin, Stinkmink, and Downy Crake were introduced in the Earth Responsibly universe via Stephen Strange.


Plesioth was introduced in the upcoming stories of Worldcraft: The Center of the Ocean and Weather Dragons of Bagani: Island Hopping. The unknown to us is that another surviving surface Agarthan named Basilio Yerriang swore revenge against merfolk and Captain Hook, insulting his friends who died by natural climate change near Llyr and Wonderland. He died by Plesioth and Green Plesioth out of guilt and greed, ordered by Dormouse-like races called Glisfolk to enter the international market, and immigration for islands by Alejandro Bagras and Pleasance Dupont.


Plesioth was native to the world of Monster Hunter, from tropical to desert, in each large-scale water formation. Even in our world, from Afro-Eurasia like the United Kingdom to South Africa to the Coral Triangle ranging from the Philippines to Papua New Guinea, according to the United Nations.
