Gobul

Gobul is a large angler fish-like monster found in the new Flooded Forest area. It sports a bio-luminescent lure which is likely to use as "bait" in getting its prey's attention, particularly a curious hunter.

Gobul is often relatively passive, until it gets attacked. It spends most of its time laying under the river bed, exposing only its whiskers, to disguise itself as a common plant. During this hidden state, hunters can "carve" it, but be careful as it is often a trap to lure its prey. This can also give you many open spots for you to attack it, before it catches on to you. Sonic bombs can be used, in the same fashion as Diablos, to bring it out of hiding. While it tends to stay in the water it does sometimes climb up on land, even if not chasing after prey.

Its attacks include: "inflating" itself, exposing sharp spikes covering its back, and rolling over hunters, swinging its large, needle-covered tail, inflicting paralysis, and an underwater "vacuum breath," with which it draws hunters in close to its mouth and bites down. Its bioluminescent lure can also inflict Faint status to the hunter, but can be broken just like the Gypceros's crest.

When enraged Gobul stays inflated, with spikes remaining visible. Its lure can be broken and tail cut off. It is also possible to "fish" him using a Frog, like a Plesioth. Fishing out Gobul is often a subquest and will lead to a bigger reward. When not inflated it is broad and flat, resembling a cross between a frogfish and anglerfish. when inflated, it is also like a blowfish.

Even though it's very fish-like, comparable to a Piscine Wyvern, Gobul is actually a Leviathian.
