There's only one thing worse than a bad hitbox of an attack a monster spams a lot.

A bad hitbox of an attack a monster spawms a lot that deals a truckload of damage to your health and is fought much earlier than it should be.

Actually Plesioth is 3 star for the village questline alongside Iodrome, Gypceros, Daiymo Hermitaur and the beginning subspecies (Blue Kut Ku, Purple Gypceros and even Green Plesioth).... I have no idea what Capcom were thinking when they made Plesioth 3 star in MHFU but he luckily wasn't a key quest.
