Plesioth will swim on the tears of all the salty hunters xD

Seriously, old Plesioth is cool, back in the days when hunters could not swim, we just brought lots of sonic bombs and bows or bowguns for ranged safety and lances and gunlances for close quarters defence (hipcheck and tail swing are defendable, altough hard to ready sometimes)

It is far much better than jumping on the water to catch it xD
