Plesioth are Piscine Wyverns introduced in Monster Hunter.
Physiology
Plesioth are bipedal monsters with a wyvern-esque body structure. They have webbed feet and a paddle-like tail, and are covered in shiny, fish-like scales. Their mouth is filled with shark-like teeth, and their eyes glow a bright yellow. Their head and back feature large fins which can fold in and out at will.
Abilities
Plesioth can fire highly pressurized jets of water at foes, and can use their massive size and weight to crush and batter attackers. They are highly adept at swimming and are both agile and deadly in the water.
Behavior
Plesioth are ambush predators, adapted to stalking prey from the water and attacking by surprise. They can occasionally be seen on land.
Habitat
Plesioth are commonly found in large bodies of water in a wide variety of environments, such as the Jungle, Flooded Forest, Great Fortress Lake and the waters surrounding Cheeko Sands.
Other Non-Subspecies Forms
Hard Core (HC) Plesioth
HC Plesioth has much more muscle mass and more tinted color with spotted wings. Its moves are more land based and aggressive, as it will perform sweeping water beams, body slams, sleep causing liquid, fake sleep, charges on foot with which it will try to run hunters over with its sharp spiked feet and jumps that it can even U-turn mid air to body slam then slither.

In-Game Description
Notes
General Notes
- Plesioth could be named after the Plesiosaurus, an extinct, aquatic, long necked marine reptile of the Mesozoic.
- It can be fished out with a frog in certain areas. When fished out with one, the Plesioth will not enter rage mode and will move for a few seconds, giving hunters plenty of time to deal great damage.
- Using a Sonic Bomb is an easy alternative to fishing out a Plesioth. Just be cautious that it will enter rage mode upon recovering.
- The dorsal fin can be broken by hitting the Plesioth in the belly.
- When near death, Plesioth won't enter rage mode if affected by a Sonic Bomb's sound.
- When near death, Plesioth will put its dorsal fin down.
- If Plesioth is killed in water, it will sink and then come back up and float on the surface. This, of course, means no carves are possible. This is not an issue in Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate.
- Plesioth's design is based off of an unknown species of shark.
- Plesioth is infamous for its odd hitboxes and its hip check. While these have been fixed in its later appearences, it is still usually joked on.
Monster Hunter Freedom 2
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate
- Plesioth will sleep in area 11 of the Deserted Island in order to recover health, unlike Leviathans, which flee to area 12.
- It can also eat from the Epioth corpse in Area 11, although this is less common.
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate
- There is a minigame where the Palicoes can fish out the young Plesioth and earn Plesioth materials, but Plesioth will only appear occasionally.
Monster Hunter Generations
Monster Hunter Online
- Supplies and upgrades for the ammunitions can be obteined during the hunt, also in some parts of the map it's possible to fix the boat thanks to Felynes.
