Jyuratodus is a Piscine Wyvern first introduced in Monster Hunter: World.

Appearance

Jyuratodus is related to Lavasioth, and as such resembles a bipedal coelacanth fish, albeit with a dark-brown coloration instead of navy-blue. It has two dorsal fins, two pectoral fins, two pelvic fins, and a long, thick tail. Instead of covering itself in hardened lava like Lavasioth, Jyuratodus covers itself in mud and sludge. Jyuratodus's head, body, legs and tail can be wounded.

Behavior and Abilities

Jyuratodus is able to cover its body in mud for protection, and spits a watery sludge that can temporarily trap hunters to defend itself. Jyuratodus leaves behind solid mud piles when it swims, which hunters can use as platforms to avoid being slowed down by the swamp water. Much like Barroth, Jyuratodus will roll in mud to cover its body in it. The mud will protect Jyuratodus's body from damage as well as defend against the Thunder Element, its primary elemental weakness.

Jyuratodus is known to clash with Barroth, as the two share the same muddy habitats. During a Turf War, Jyuratodus will ambush Barroth from below and attempt to constrict and bite the brute wyvern, only to be thrown violently to the ground afterward, damaging both monsters. When left undisturbed, Jyuratodus won't bother anything within their territory, such as the Gajau it shares the area with. Once disturbed, however, Jyuratodus will turn aggressive and try to injure threats.

Habitat

Jyuratodus primarily lives in watery locales like the Flooded Forest, and the portions of Wildspire Waste where water and mud flows. Though bipedal and able to run/walk to its destination, it much prefers to swim, even proving to struggle and slither forward on dry landscape to traverse its habitat.

Hunting Tips

“	It's nearly impossible to fight a Jyuratodus in its swampy home. Coerce it to land, and then use water element weapons or your slinger to slowly chip away at its hardened mud armor.	„
- MHW's Hunter's Notes

“	A Jyuratodus's mud-caked carapace is tough, so use water-elemental weapons to dissolve the mud and get to its squishy core. Stepping in its mud slows you down, so pay attention to your footing.	„
- MHRise's Hunter's Note

In-game Description

Monster Hunter World A large piscine wyvern that inhabits the swamps of the Wildspire Waste. It uses mud to capture prey, and it's known to battle other monsters over territory. Monster Hunter Rise A piscine wyvern that inhabits swamps, utilizing the mud there to hunt and survive. It wallows in the mire to maximize cutaneous respiration and preserve the toughness of its scales. The sludge it spits is highly viscous, so watch where you step, lest you get stuck in it. Threat Level (危険度): ★★★★ Monster Hunter Now A piscine wyvern that makes its habitat in muddy swamps. It has a tendency to use mud as a means by which to both camouflage itself and hunt with. It is believed that they coat themselves with mud in order to restore moisture to their scales, which grow brittle and inhibit cutaneous respiration when dehydrated. Exercise caution should you come across the mud which Jyuratodus spits out, as its high viscosity can easily restrict body movement.

General Notes

• Jyuratodus was voted 195th place in the Hunters' Choice for Top Monster during Monster Hunter's 20th Anniversary.
  • It shares this placement with Desert Seltas Queen.

Monster Hunter: World

Jyuratodus, Beotodus, Furious Rajang, and Frostfang Barioth are the only normal monsters that don't appear in the Guiding Lands. Lavasioth is the only Piscine Wyvern that appears in the Guiding Lands.

Monster Hunter Rise

Jyuratodus cannot appear in The Rampage.

Jyuratodus is the only Piscine Wyvern to get a title to itself, that being “Sinister Swamp Shadow”.

• The title itself may be a reference to the name of its assigned quest in Monster Hunter World, “Sinister Shadows in the Swamp”.

Jyuratodus is the only Large Monster in the game to be a Piscine Wyvern (Gajau and Delex exist as Small Monsters).
