Ludroth

Ludroth are Leviathans first introduced in Monster Hunter 3. They are known to inhabit the Deserted Island and Flooded Forest and can be found at any Hunter Rank in all third generation games.



Physiology
Ludroth are mostly yellow-green in coloration, with long sinewy bodies that enable swift and sweeping underwater movements to confuse their prey. Their claws are stubby but effective, and their tails taper into a thin, fan-like shape. Powerful jaws allow for moderately strong biting attacks. The majority of Ludroth are female, and form harems around the male Royal Ludroth.

Abilities
All Ludroth are capable of producing a globule of mucus, that can be fired at the Hunter to impede them. The mucus inflicts Waterblight which slows the speed of stamina recovery.

Behaviour
Ludroth are amphibious, and should not be underestimated on land. They are capable of using their almost serpentine forms to slither and pounce on Hunters. They emit a barking noise when threatened, and although dangerous on land, are doubly so when confronted underwater. Notably more powerful, swifter, and with attacks that may disorient a hunter caught unaware, a Ludroth in her natural habitat can be a challenge; small crowds of Ludroth are also more often found underwater, and can quickly part even an experienced hunter from a good volume of their health.

Habitat
Ludroth are found in the Flooded Forest and Deserted Island because there is an abundance of food and an agreeable mixture of coastline and aquatic environment for them to use as territory.
