Mizutsune (Bullavulpes elegansos; Japanese: 水ツネ / タマミツネ) is the fictional species of saurischian wyvern called Leviathans, introduced in Monster Hunter Generations.

Etymology

Physical Appearance

Like most other Leviathans, Mizutsune has a long, slender body. However, it is one of the few Leviathans to actually have fur on its body. This dark purple fur covers its chest, underbelly, legs and tail. Its scales are light colored and resemble those of a fish. Its head has a long snout and is beautifully adorned by many fin-like appendages. These fins are pink with yellow markings, and they can also be seen on its back and tail. Its feet are said to be quite different from other Leviathans and allow Mizutsune to move swiftly on land. However, Female Mizutsune have duller colors and smaller fins.

Abilities

Mizutsune is able to breathe bubbles at its enemies and is able to produce these bubbles in its fur. These bubbles inflict bubble blight, which hinders movement. It can also fire pressurized jets of water from its mouth, much like Plesioth. It can be observed preying on fish or grooming its claws when not provoked.

Weaknesses

When low on stamina, Mizutsune's yellow fins change to a blue color, but Mizutsune will eat fish from a fishing spot to recover Stamina.

Weather Phenomenon

Ecology

Diet

Mizutsune are carnivorous in nature, feeding mainly on fish and other small prey. However, Mizutsune are known to feed on larger prey occasionally like Kelbi and other mammals, birds, small reptiles, frogs and salamanders, and even insects. Though Mizutsune are capable predators, they must compete with other large predatory monsters like Zinogre, Astalos, Lagiacrus, Nargacuga, and Plesioth. Mizutsune is a recently discovered species of Leviathan Wyvern by Agents of Shield and University of Tokyo that resembles a sacred beast found in Yukumo or Nara Village's legends during Sengoku period causing eating humans. 


Ecological Niche and Biological Adaptions

Mizutsune's most unique adaptation is its ability to produce bubbles. It is able to produce the bubbles by using special fluid secretions, produced from its own body along with water, and rubbing its hairs in the secretions. These stiff yet soft purple hairs are found on its chest, tail, legs, and sides. The hairs are used for sliding on the fluids it produces, spreading the fluids, and even using the fluids to produce more bubbles. Mizutsune can also breathe these bubbly fluids from its mouth. It is known to use the bubbles it produces both offensively and defensively in battle.


It uses the bubbles to help it move faster and to make it more flexible in battle, while simultaneously impeding the movement of any foes. In order to stop itself quickly while moving, Mizutsune has special hook-like claws that allow it to stop sliding quickly to face threats and not leave itself open. Despite Mizutsune's strange appearance, the fins actually act as receptors for detecting the presence of predators and prey coming through vibrations in the secretions. Like a snake, Mizutsune's teeth are recurved to prevent prey from escaping easily. Its jaws are even designed like a snake to an extent, even being able to open its mouth wide and swallow some large prey.

Behavior

Mizutsune isn't very aggressive towards humans. However, males have been known to go berserk during the mating season, attacking anyone who comes across them.

Distribution and Habitat

Mizutsune has been seen inhabiting the Misty Peaks and Primal Forest. Mizutsune is the one of the species of saurischian wyverns are marked by Agents of Shield as Most Elegant of All Leviathans according to the ancient texts in Ancient Japan to Edo period and endemic to Japan, but invasive species to Korea, China, India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei Darussalam, Philippines, Austria, Russia, Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Morocco, Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, Andorra, Monaco, to Cornwall made by humans and wyverians. This animal was mentioned by Roberto and Juliet about this animal found in air breathing coral reefs biomes, but it avoided the Rotten Vale sections in Lighruperisal archipelago and peninsula.


Tamed

Mizutsune utilized narcotics to continuously overdose while being tranquilized by bullets and rendered comatose. Because the survivor is constantly within 17 radii of the hatching egg, Mizutsune are quickly tamed after they emerge from an egg. If the Mizutsune is untrained, you can tame Mizutsune with a fish flakes, fish flesh, any meat, fish eggs, or fish meat wrapped in seaweed.
