Epioth are herbivores introduced in Monster Hunter 3.

Behavior

Being very timid creatures, they will generally flee when attacked. However, they will occasionally fight back with slams and tail slaps. These however are not strong and they are easily brought down.

They will swim around underwater and occasionally come to the surface. They only occasionally stop, allowing hunters to attack.

Habitat

They swim in small groups in both the ocean off the Deserted Island (Areas 10 and 11) and the underwater areas of the Flooded Forest.

General Notes

• Epioth, if unthreatened, will occasionally come to the surface for air.
• When a large monster is in the same zone, they will swim corkscrews rapidly, sometimes causing an obstruction.
• Epioth closely resemble the real world plesiosaurs; they sport long necks and tails, small heads, and four fingered flippers.

• Strangely, in the demo, this creature can be carved to obtain Ludroth items.
