Mizutsune is cute! Cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute CUTE!

Mizutsune is my favorite of the E4, alongside Raizek. Y'know, it's hard to find any kind of flaw on Mizutsune. She's a unique Leviathan whose beautiful design shares traits of goldfishes, snakes, foxes, AND FERRETS! I love ferrets. Her scales are the color of cherry blossoms. That japanese-flavored design is nothing but gorgeous, and goes along perfectly with both Yukumo and the Misty Peak's aesthetics. Also like I've already said, she's adorable. Did you see her brushy-brushy tail? Or her paw pads? Name a cuter Gen 4 monster. You can't! Mizu is also definitely a unique Leviathan when it comes to gameplay, being one of the very few monsters of her class that's perfectly adapted to fighting on land. Mizu has an all unique moveset and relies on fast, yet dazzling dance steps to overwhelm its enemies. She's really fun to fight and seeing her slide and dance all around the place. Her bubbles are an interesting gimmick; not too underpowered, not too annoying, and allow for some nice mindgames with the Health and Attack bubbles. Will you run into them for a boost and risk getting bubbled for a guaranteed hit? And I'm surprised no one has mentioned Hyper Mizutsune, specially the Event one. That thing is a monster. Hits like a truck, super fast, and tanks hits like no one's business. Truly one of the hardest fights in the game in my opinion. Her music theme is really nice, even when Misty Peaks theme is one of the best themes in the franchise while also being japanese-sounding, Mizutsune's theme does an amazing job at differentiating itself, being much more melodic and fitting for the monster herself. Equipment is amazing, really good designs while her Light Bowgun and the skill Bubble Dance are godsends by themselves. It's also one of the few equipments that doesn't become obsolete on end-game, you can really use her weapons or armor throughout your whole adventure, so even more bonus points for that.

...I think I've appreciated on everything there is to appreciate, hopefully I'm not missing anything! Mizu is such an amazing monster, I cannot wait to fight her again in XX, be it a G-Rank version or hopefully, a Deviant.
