Tigerstripe Zamtrios and Tidal Najarala could also be good choices for a Water monster. In my mind, the former's Kinship attack would involve it getting even fatter than usual, leaping really high into the air, and flattening the target like a pancake when it lands, which causes large, pointy rocks to spring up from the ground around it that hit all adjacent monsters for lesser, but still considerable damage, and the latter's would involve it flinging a massive amount of plates around the target, then spitting multiple water balls that bounce around the plates, repeatedly knocking the target around as they go, then finishing up the attack with rattling that causes both the plates and the water balls to explode. I'd also mention Ceadeus, but seeing how the thing can't thrive outside water, it's very unlikely to appear in the game unless the developers put underwater combat in it.
