Lavasioth

Lavasioth is a Piscine Wyvern introduced in Monster Hunter Frontier Season 1.0. It is known to inhabit volcanic environments and can be encountered at HR17 in Monster Hunter Frontier and HR8 in Monster Hunter Freedom Unite.



Physiology
Lavasioth is a bipedal Piscine Wyvern that reside in lava rather than water. Its body is covered with hardened magma, forming a tough outer shell. Its head is fish-like in nature, with rounded features and large, circular eyes. Its mouth is filled with sharp, needle-like fangs. Its legs are large with hard rock scales and end in fins rather than claws. Unlike other Piscine Wyverns, Lavasioth lacks wings. Instead, it has only a pair of medium-length pectoral fins. It has a long, thick tail to assist in when swimming through the thick magma it resides in.

Abilities
Its attacks and movements are vaguely similar to those of a Plesioth and Blos wyverns. It can fire huge balls of magma at hunters; when these hit the ground, they scatter into smaller molten rocks which can still do considerable damage. Lavasioth can also jump up and slam itself down on the ground - this attack is very powerful. Another common attack is the 'Sliding U Turn'. It will slide bodily across the ground towards hunters, but after missing can turn around and slide at hunters again, with pin-point accuracy.

Behavior
Lavasioth is a rarely seen Piscine Wyvern, living and swimming in lava. It is almost using its body all the time, from body slam to hip-check. Its hard rock scales make Lavasioth able to swim inside lava without burned, also making it hard to slashed by swords, it will need pink sharpness to make it finely slashed without bouncing (Although the slash will leave some bouncing sprinkle).

Habitat
Lavasioth lives in the Volcano area.

Hard Core (HC) Lavasioth


In Monster Hunter Frontier Season 8.0, HC Lavasioth is introduced, complete with new attacks. It can rear up and fire a spread of fireballs into the air, which fall and damage hunters around it, and it can fire more projectiles from within the lava. It can also use double body-slams.
