Lagiacrus, The Lightning of The Seas

The hunt "Fell The Lagiacrus" is the first quest that task you with slaying a Lagiacrus in MH3U. Here I am taking a break after delivering the final blow to Lagiacrus in an underwater struggle on November 17, 2013. Screenshot Taken By Brad Moffett

Welcome back hunters! This week we'll be discussing the leviathan wyvern, Lagiacrus. We will be going over their characteristics, fighting style, and hunting methods.

Lagiacrus are a member of the leviathan family of wyverns. They are blue in color with white underbellies and have long, serpentine bodies. They live in coastal areas and are amphibious, traveling onto land to search for prey though they never stray to far from water. They are capable of generating electricity which they store in hornlike protrusions on they're backs. Lagiacrus use this electricity in combat by either discharging it around their bodies or spewing electric blasts from they're mouths.

Lagiacrus fighting abilities change based on where it is engaged. On land they slide into foes bulldozing them, lash out with their long tails, or throw blasts of electricity. In water, Lagiacrus is in it's element, they will bulldoze foes by swimming into them cloaked with electricity, discharge electricity around their bodies, lash out with fang, claw, tail, and fire blasts of electricity.

Hunting a Lagiacrus is a test of a hunters skill. Lagiacrus are more vulnerable on land so it is best to go on the offensive when they are on land. In the water watch for openings to attack but be wary of the leviathan's body language because it often telegraphs its more devastating attacks.

Hopefully with this knowledge you'll be ready to go bag you're own Lagiacrus. Next week we will go over felling a walking mountain, Duramboros. Till then be safe and hunt on!
