"Name: Abyssal Lagiacrus (ラギアクルス希少種) Title: Dark Sea Wyvern (冥海竜) Average Length: 3972.8cm Average Height: 685.7cm Foot Measurements: 293cm Order: Leviathan Suborder: Sea Wyvern Infraorder: Thunder Shell Wyvern Family: Lagiacrus Habitats: Underwater Ruins, Sea" "From the abyss' darkest cave Comes the master of the wave Consumer of the world entire Devil of the sea most dire Fear it as you fear the grave." "Abyssal Lagiacrus is a rare species of Lagiacrus found in the dark depths of the sea. It shares many of the same adaptations as Lagiacrus, but there are a few differences between Abyssal Lagiacrus and Lagiacrus." "Although it's considered a rare species, it is actually an extremely old Lagiacrus/Ivory Lagiacrus. Both species can eventually become an Abyssal Lagiacrus, but only particularly strong individuals can survive in the wild long enough to reach such a stage in growth." "As a Lagiacrus / Ivory Lagiacrus age, it becomes larger in size, and its own weight begins to hinder its movements on land. When it gets too big, the individual will permanently move to the sea and slowly change its lifestyle, eventually becoming the legendary Abyssal Lagiacrus." "An Abyssal Lagiacrus can be about a hundred years old or more. Compared to Lagiacrus and Ivory Lagiacrus, Abyssal Lagiacrus lives in deeper, darker waters where very few creatures go. It is said that one may appear in the Underwater Ruins near Moga Village once every few decades." "Often called the "Dark Sea Wyvern" from it hiding in the darkest depths, Abyssal Lagiacrus's hide has become blackish in color due to the environment it now inhabits." "Some of its scales now shine an eerie blue due to its increased electrical capabilities, and Abyssal Lagiacrus uses their glow to attract deep-sea prey to its location." "Like its brethren, Abyssal Lagiacrus uses the shell shockers on its back to store and release electricity, though its electricity has taken on a darker appearance. Abyssal Lagiacrus is constantly charged up with electricity, causing some of its scales to glow." "While it has shell shockers, it's believed that another organ within Abyssal Lagiacrus, known as the "Dynamo," is the true source of its immense electrical abilities, but not much is known about it." "Like Lagiacrus, Abyssal Lagiacrus is also capable of creating massive whirlpools that it uses to capture prey." "Abyssal Lagiacrus is sometimes called the "Emperor of the Abyss" or the "Lord of the Underworld." Its hide and horns have an unearthly presence about them, and items crafted with that material give that same presence. Top skills are required to craft Abyssal Lagiacrus's scales." " Sources 1.

"Name: Ivory Lagiacrus (ラギアクルス亜種) Title: White Sea Wyvern (白海竜) Average Length: 2648.5cm Average Height: 457.1cm Foot Measurements: 195cm Order: Leviathan Suborder: Sea Wyvern Infraorder: Thunder Shell Wyvern Family: Lagiacrus Habitats: D. Island, F. Forest" "Ivory Lagiacrus is the white-colored subspecies of Lagiacrus. It shares many of the same adaptations as Lagiacrus, but there are a few differences between Ivory Lagiacrus and its blue-colored counterpart." Click on the link to view: ( twitter.com/BannedDino/status/1356954572783312900?s=20 ) "Known as the "White Sea Wyvern" due to its coloration, Ivory Lagiacrus is considerably rarer than a normal Lagiacrus and isn't often seen by people at sea." "Ivory Lagiacrus is a fantastic swimmer like its cousin and hunts in the sea, but it isn't seen in the water very often. While Lagiacrus is considered to be the "Lord of the Sea," Ivory Lagiacrus is considered to be the "Conqueror of the Land and Sea."" Click on the link to view: ( twitter.com/BannedDino/status/1356954593930981377?s=20 ) "Ivory Lagiacrus is a subspecies of Lagiacrus that is more adapted for life on land. While Lagiacrus is rarely ever seen on land, Ivory Lagiacrus can be found living on land quite frequently." "Lagiacrus normally need to be in the water to discharge electricity from their body (4th Gen Lagiacrus being the exception), but this isn't the case for Ivory Lagiacrus due to the quartz found on its shell." "Ivory Lagiacrus's white and blue coloration is caused by quartz that have attached to its shell. The quartz protects it from its own electrical discharges on land and allows it to unleash multiple shocks in short intervals without tiring itself so easily." "The quartz on its head are particularly hard and protect its brain from its own shocks. The ones on its back make its shell shockers blue in color and more conductive, allowing it to hold and release more electricity without needing to cool them down." "Ivory Lagiacrus's electrical abilities and fighting capabilities on land are far beyond a normal Lagiacrus, making this monster more of a threat to hunters, even when out of water. If hunters aren't careful, Ivory Lagiacrus's shocks could seriously injure or kill them."

"Ivory Lagiacrus's horns have a flawless elegance to them that is beloved by the rich. Its scales are described to be like a work of art, especially when light shines on them." " Sources 1.

"Name: Lagiacrus (ラギアクルス) Title: Sea Wyvern (海竜) Average Length: 2648.5cm Average Height: 419.6cm Foot Measurements: 255.5cm (F)/171.8cm (B) Order: Leviathan Suborder: Sea Wyvern Infraorder: Thunder Shell Wyvern Family: Lagiacrus Habitats: D. Island, F. Forest, etc." "Lagiacrus is a powerful sea-dwelling leviathan that is feared by sailors. Often called the "Sea Wyvern" or "Lord of the Sea," Lagiacrus is a monster that demands respect in its domain." Click on the link to view: ( twitter.com/BannedDino/status/1356664138429325313?s=20 ) "As its titles imply, Lagiacrus can often be seen living in or near the sea, though it can also be found in other places with large bodies of water. Despite its many titles relating to the sea, Lagiacrus can tolerate both saltwater and freshwater." "Rumor has it that one has even been seen as far as the New World as well." {Obviously, don't take this part seriously since, as far as we know, no Leviathans have been confirmed in the New World. It's not impossible that they're hiding there but no reports of any so far.} Click on the link to view: ( twitter.com/BannedDino/status/1356664540612747264?s=20 ) "Lagiacrus has been reported roaming the sea since ancient times, and this leviathan's existence has long been passed down by fishermen and traders as a legend due to it often threatening the lives of villagers living near the sea." "Lagiacrus didn't become known to the Hunter's Guild until they finally explored the Island District (Moga Region) and began to study the vast oceans, which had new species they originally weren't aware of." "The first report about Lagiacrus's existence came from an unnamed hunter that was assigned to Moga Village. While the hunter was out gathering monster guts for a celebration in the village, he saw a Great Jaggi chasing a herbivore." "The Great Jaggi and its prey were near the sea, and, while the hunter was standing on a cliff watching the hunt play out, something with a long neck suddenly jumped out of the water and grabbed the Great Jaggi before dragging it back into the sea." "The hunter later reported this back to the Guild in Moga Village. Soon after the report, the monster was given its name by the Royal Paleontology Scriveners and was recognized as a new species that didn't fit into the current Phylogenetic Tree (3rd Gen one)." "Around the same time that Lagiacrus was discovered, numerous earthquakes began to hit the Moga Region and villagers in the area suspected that the leviathan had something to do with it. However, the earthquakes were later found to be caused by another monster (Ceadeus)." "Aquatic in nature, Lagiacrus spends most of its time in and underwater. While built for life in the open sea, Lagiacrus still breaths air, but it can stay underwater, without surfacing, for about half-day, roughly twelve hours, with the help of its powerful lungs." "Much like crocodiles, Lagiacrus has a palatal valve or a similar structure that allows it to open its mouth underwater without letting any water enter its body." "Lagiacrus is a fast swimmer with the help of its scales and the countless fins on its body. Although it isn't shown on this sketch of its skeleton, Lagiacrus's fins (Hood, feet, and tail) are filled with flexible yet hard cartilage. It can also move the hood on its neck freely." Click on the link to view: ( twitter.com/BannedDino/status/1356664614654730244?s=20 ) "Despite its aquatic nature, Lagiacrus's teeth are quite similar to land-based predatory wyverns. The long slender shape of its sharp teeth allows Lagiacrus to bite into the thick skin of its aquatic prey. Around its jaws is fang-like shelling that resembles its teeth." "Lagiacrus has about sixteen protrusions on its mouth (Eight on the bottom, eight on the top) that it uses to help it hold onto prey within its jaws." "On its back are raised dermal spikes that Lagiacrus uses to store and release electricity from its body. Lagiacrus is a thunder elemental that utilizes shocking bolts of electricity to finish off its prey." "By rapidly contracting the white muscles in its body, Lagiacrus is capable of generating an electrical charge via electrocytes. Small holes found inside its dermal spikes (Aka shell shockers) store and maintain electricity in that part before Lagiacrus eventually releases it." "The spikes on its back will glow brighter and brighter, depending on how much electricity is stored up in its shell shockers. The electricity that Lagiacrus accumulates and stores in its body is comparable to lightning, doing serious damage to prey when released all at once." "Some of the electricity will also mix with the mucus within its body, allowing Lagiacrus to breathe electrical projectiles at enemies." "Lagiacrus may be able to effectively produce electricity, but the process weakens it. Contracting its muscles several or more times in short intervals is taxing for Lagiacrus's body, so this monster needs to relax its muscles when it can and will often rest on land." Click on the link to view: ( twitter.com/BannedDino/status/1356664676852129793?s=20 ) "If a Lagiacrus is seen on land, chances are it can't produce electricity, for now, meaning the individual is currently in a vulnerable state." {I'll talk about the 4th Gen Lagiacrus at a later date}. "Carnivorous in nature, Lagiacrus is known to primarily prey on fish and aquatic wyverns like Epioth. It has also been seen preying on airborne species as well as some land-based creatures like Aptonoth." "When hunting aquatic prey, Lagiacrus is known to drive its victims near the water's surface before rapidly swimming around them, creating a whirlpool. Once the whirlpool is made, Lagiacrus will shock the surrounding water with its electricity to kill its prey before feeding." "Lagiacrus's electrical whirlpools are quite powerful and are the thing that many sailors have been encountered occasionally while out at sea since ancient times. These whirlpools, as well as Lagiacrus itself, can easily sink a vessel if a sailor is careless." "Interestingly, Lagiacrus also has many holes within its horns that could be used to store electricity, but it doesn't seem to use them for that purpose at all. Its front claws seem to be evolving into fins, though it uses them for killing Epioth." "Lagiacrus's breeding habits are completely unknown. It's theorized that Lagiacrus lays its eggs on land, and it's even been considered that perhaps all Lagiacrus are female and parthenogenetic." "Besides using electricity to kill prey, it's believed they also use it to communicate with each other and for electroreception. Its soft and workable hide is used to craft valuable leatherware. Its scales and horns are in high demand." "Not only does Lagiacrus's tail serve for weapon craft, but it also winds up on Moga dinner plates." " Sources 1. Monster Hunter Tri 2.
