Things You May Not Know About Tamamitsune(Info Comes From MHX Site, Famitsu, and this)


 * Tamamitsune is the colorful and elegant Leviathan that reigns over the waterside of the Misty Peaks.
 * Tamamitsune's design motif comes from the goldfish, fox, and snake.
 * Its movements are said to be instant and fast with great flexibility to go with them. The Tamamitsune has unique claws and scales, which it uses to move around in quick and tricky ways, in order to dominate hunters and even Zinogre.
 * Tamamitsune is known to produce a special fluid from its body. This fluid is known to be rubbed on its body hairs, which allows it to create bubbles. These bubbles are used to make it harder for prey to run and evade it, causing them to slip around like a crazy dance.
 * Interestingly, the state is called the Foamy State/something similar(泡まみれ状態) though we're calling it Bubbleblight.
 * It also can spit this special fluid from its mouth.
 * It is considered to be quite different from all other known Leviathans.
 * Despite being able to breath and produce bubbles, Tamamitsune have been seen to be able to breath water in other ways.
 * With many of its just near movements, it seems to be able to produce smaller bubbles that can entangle hunters.
