Concerning the Gobul vs Plesioth fight, I'd favor the leviathan. Plesioth is whithout a doubt the better/faster swimmer and would have the advantage in open water. However, gobul being the ambush predators they are love staying close to the river/ocean bottom and most likely wouldn't stray far from it, thus causing the plesioth to swim down to the leviathan's turf. You could argue that the piscine wyvern can snipe the gobul with its water beam from above, but with the gobul's great camoflauge and lantern flashes that would prove difficult.

If the two were on land I'd favor a gobul even more. A plesioth's height would be a major disadvantage as the gobul is low to the ground and more stable on land. If the plesioth wants to bite the gobul it would have to reach down, thus getting near the leviathan's mouth and risking its head or getting a mouthful of spikes should the gobul decide to puff up. The gobul being much lower to the ground can launch attacks on the plesioth's unprotected stomach and legs, whether by biting or slashing with its tail spikes that contain neurotoxins.

Also this is just my opinion so you can disregard if you choose. The plesioth species don't seem to have the weaponry that would allow them to come out on top in most possible confrontations, especially if on land.
