Briefly looking at the Scuffed sizes of MH's Monsters- (UPDATED)

By the way, that Plesioth bit is only there because people thought I made the fish oversized... Spoiler- I didn’t, that’s literally what’s listed as the average😐 & I still think it’s stupid- 😂

Things to do for the sequel(Personal notes pls ignore): 1. Re-add the missing Arctodus that somehow got yetted into the backrooms at some point during exporting. (WTF How the f**k did that even happen? The bear is literally there in the editing software!?!?) 2. 10.2 meters is 1 of many estimated averages for Megalodon, but not the max, it can extend up to 20m.

[@nolangerrans6083]

I think the logic is literally: “Let’s make a fish monster that’s too tall to hit the body of with most attacks so you have to work around that” and then just scaled up the piscine wyvern rig so it was big enough that the player couldn’t reach the body without thinking about how huge that made it

​@@silverseth7more or less. On the one hand, since the monster is so big, the hit boxes scale in size accordingly, and since many of them are disjointed so that there's an area of effect, now that area is multiplied and thus is much bigger. Also, I believe Plesioth's hip check hit boxes were made bigger and also covering all of the body so that it would actually hit and not miss like many of Gravios' attacks, that miss when you're between the legs or asleep on the ground.

[@somebodyanonymous4608]

Looking back at Plesioth's original In-game profile descriptions, they always start off with: "Enormous, flightless, aquatic wyvern" "Giant piscine wyverns" "Huge beasts" I think having a large size was always a key part of the monster.

[@ES-dp6tw]

Plesioth of all monsters being shockingly huge is hilarious. Also interesting dynamic that Rajang used to be much larger, though I do think the change to being overall smaller suits its theme very well.

[@NoahLoydOG]

So, if I remember correctly, I feel like I had read that one of the fish inspirations behind Plesioth was carp, a family of fish which includes goldfish. These fish have a habit of growing relative to the size of their environment; if they spend their life in a fish tank, they usually don't get that big, but one in a pond or lake can grow to a pretty massive size by comparison (a 2-4 inch tank specimen weighing a few ounces versus a 1-2 foot long one weighing many times more.) Supposedly, the Plesioth species shares this trait, and being able to survive in both salt and fresh water (like a Bull Shark) allows them to move out to sea instead of living in lakes and river estuaries, which therefore allows them to scale up even more. The idea is that, if a carp could survive in a salt water environment, it might grow to be the size of sharks or even whales, despite still being, well, just a carp. Plesioth is massive, yes, but it's not typically considered anywhere near the threat level of monsters with a similar length, like Lagiacrus, Ukanlos, or Fatalis; it really is just an overgrown fish wyvern. Memes aside, they are on the lower spectrum of power in the MH universe, and as far as blights go, they shoot a stream of water (like an Archerfish), jab you with paralytic spine venom (an analog to lionfish), and can put you to sleep (perhaps a reference to the Sleeper Shark, a rather large kind of shark that isn't considered anywhere near as dangerous as other sharks of a similar size.)
