Lagiacrus are Leviathans introduced in Monster Hunter 3.
Appearance[]
Lagiacrus is a monster with serpentine body, roughly resembling a crocodile with a long neck. Its body is covered in blue shells along its head, back, and the base of the tail, while the underside is light brown in color. Adorning its head is a pair of brown color horns, with three pairs of dermal spikes of the same color on its back. Its tail flare out horizontally at the base, before turning laterally flat with a fin at the end. Its mouth, in addition to a jaw full of small teeth, it also has a roll of shell spikes on both upper and lower jaw, arranged like a second row of jaw.
When a Lagiacrus is fully sunbathed, it turns a dry grayish-blue color and its dermal spikes turn brown. When it returns to the water, Lagiacrus regains a striking deep blue color and its spikes return to their original color of a very light beige.
Abilities[]
The dermal spikes on its back glow white when it is using strong thunder attacks, and its mouth gurgles with Thunder when it is enraged. It is also capable of the Water element, but only when underwater.
Habitat[]
Lagiacrus is found only at the Deserted Island, Flooded Forest and Misty Peaks. It's most at home underwater, but is more than capable of fighting on land.

- The outcome of its Turf War with Rathalos is dependent on whether Lagiacrus is charged up or not; Rathalos wins if it is not, and Lagiacrus wins if it is.
- When staggered the hunter can use the Clutch Claw to latch onto Lagiacrus and attack a part alike mounting.
- This is currently the only time the Clutch Claw utility is seen or used in Wilds.
- When enough damage is done, a cinematic will play where the hunter fire's a Slinger Pod into the Lagiacrus's head point-blank and forces it back to land.
- If the damage threshold is failed or the section is ignored completely Lagiacrus will perform its ultimate attack that has it engulf the entire area in an electrified tsunami.
- If the damage threshold is met while Lagiacrus is close to the wall of sharp coral, it will take additional damage and fall over once it surfaces.
Monster Hunter Stories 2
- Opposing Lagiacrus’ turn to Speed attacks, Electro Breath, and Bolt Pressure when enraged, and Technical attacks and Wretched Water when its charged with Electrify.
