A Mizutsune that had to adapt after losing its eyes in a territorial deposit with another monster, Heavenly Eye Mizutsune is a Deviant of Mizutsune.

Habitat Range
Heavenly Eye Mizutsune have been identified living in the Misty Peaks and Primal Forest.

Ecological Niche
Mizutsune are carnivorous in nature, feeding mainly on fish and other small prey. However, Mizutsune are known to feed on larger prey occasionally like Kelbi. Though Mizutsune are capable predators, they must compete with other large predatory monsters like Zinogre, Lagiacrus, Nargacuga, and Plesioth.

Biological Adaptions
Heavenly Eye Mizutsune have many of the same adaptions as Mizutsune, however, there is a few differences between them. Due to fighting another monster for territory, Heavenly Eye Mizutsune has sustained some battle wounds around his face, including his eyes. Heavenly Eye Mizutsune can't see anymore, meaning he is completely. Though blind, Heavenly Eye Mizutsune has adapted in order to make his blindness an overall strength. Heavenly Eye Mizutsune's fur, fins, claws, and secretions have developed differently in order to help him live better in his environment without the need for eyes, though these traits aren't the main reason why he has been surviving for so long. The main reason is this individual's bubbles. Heavenly Eye Mizutsune "sees" is able to "see" his environment by using his bubbles. He uses the bubbles to see around his surrounding environment with the help of his uniquely developed parts, acting as sensors to pick up vibrations around him. These bubbles also allow him to see foes. If a foe is touched by the bubbles, Heavenly Eye Mizutsune is able to sense that foes location before attacking. Heavenly Eye Mizutsune also has an unexpected adaption that catches most foes off guard. When greatly angered, water vapor will begin to leak out of Heavenly Eye Mizutsune's eyes and he'll be able to breath blue bubbles at foes. These bubbles are blue due to them containing a flammable material that is able to scorch foes on impact. It is unknown how he is able to produce this fluid, but this is being researched by the Hunter's Guild. His secondary name, Heavenly Eye, comes from this water vapor coming out of his eyes when enraged.

Behavior
Like Mizutsune, Heavenly Eye Mizutsune are rather calm in nature until provoked. Usually, Heavenly Eye Mizutsune spend most of their time sleep.
