Behavior
Plesioth are ambush predators, adapted to stalking prey from the water and attacking by surprise. They can occasionally be seen on land.

Habitat
Plesioth are commonly found in large bodies of water in a wide variety of environments, such as the Jungle, Flooded Forest, Great Fortress Lake and the coastal ocean waters surrounding Cheeko Sands.

Hard Core (HC) Plesioth


HC Plesioth has much more muscle mass and more tinted color with spotted wings. Its moves are more land based and aggressive, as it will perform sweeping water beams, body slams, sleep causing liquid, fake sleep, charges on foot with which it will try to run hunters over with its sharp spiked feet and jumps that it can even U-turn mid air to body slam then slither.
