Lagiacrus are Leviathans introduced in Monster Hunter 3.
Physiology[]
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.
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.

Notes[]
General Notes
- Lagiacrus shares many conditions with Rathalos:
- Both held the title of a flagship monster.
- Even though they are flagship monsters, they don't have their own theme music.
- Both are weak to each other's elemental powers.
- Both appear in Tri's opening movie.
- Both have their subspecies appear in MH3U's opening.
- Both have a subspecies that inhabits the same habitat as them and a rare species that shares habitats with Elder Dragons.
- Both are the only old flagship monsters that can be fought in 3U's low ranked quests.
- Breaking its dermal spikes reduces its ability to use electrical attacks.
- When low on stamina, it will fail to use its electrical charge attacks.
- Hitting Lagiacrus with any kind of bomb (including Sonic Bombs and Crag/Cluster shots) underwater may cause it to drop an item.
- A Lagiacrus either will eat an Epioth, or come up on land for air to recover Stamina - however, both often give no indication of Stamina recovery.
- The Lagiacrus is the biggest Leviathan that dwells in the water, since the Ceadeus is considered an Elder Dragon.
- When Lagiacrus hits an underwater pillar or a rock and destroys it, it may drop an item (Offline mode only).
- Lagiacrus' roar requires Earplugs to block.
- Lagiacrus does not return in Monster Hunter Portable 3rd. However, it does appear in MH Diary: Poka Poka Airu Village, and returns in Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate and MH Diary: Poka Poka Airu Village G.
- Lagiacrus shares some of its physical attacks with Royal Ludroth and Agnaktor.
- Lagiacrus was voted 3rd place in the Hunters' Choice for Top Monster during Monster Hunter's 20th Anniversary.[1]
