A specially evolved Leviathan with a sleek, lithe body. Mizutsune can secrete a peculiar fluid that covers its foes in immobilizing bubbles. Once its foe's movement is impaired, it closes in with spry, dance-like movements.


Mizutsune is a male Leviathan first introduced in Monster Hunter Generations.

Physiology

All Mizutsune are male as the females are not seen. Like most other Leviathans, Mizutsune has a long, slender body. However, he is one of the few Leviathans to actually have fur on his body. This dark purple fur covers his chest, underbelly, legs and tail. His scales are light colored and resemble those of a fish. His head has a long snout and is beautifully adorned by many fin-like appendages. These fins are pink with yellow markings, and they can also be seen on his back and tail. His feet are said to be quite different from other Leviathans and allow Mizutsune to move swiftly on land. The females are said to be dull in color with shorter fins and dark black fur.

Abilities

Mizutsune secretes a soapy fluid that coats its entire body, which combined with its unique fur allows it to freely slide across terrain with graceful agility. This fluid can also be used offensively to breathe bubbles at enemies, hindering their movement and making them unable to maintain their footing. It can also fire pressurized jets of water from its mouth, much like Plesioth.

Behavior

Mizutsune isn't very aggressive towards hunters and likes to spend its time resting, only reacting violently if provoked first. However, males have been known to go berserk during the mating season, attacking anyone who comes across them. This rage is the reason hunters are requested to hunt them.

Habitat

Mizutsune has been seen inhabiting the Misty Peaks and Primal Forest.

Notes

General Notes

  • Mizutsune's Japanese name, Tamamitsune (タマミツネ), is a mix between Tamamo-no-Mae (a legendary fox spirit from Japanese mythology) and kitsune (kanji: 狐 / kana: キツネ) meaning "fox" in Japanese.
    • Its English name combines the Japanese words mizu (kanji: 水 / kana: ミズ), meaning "water", and kitsune.[1]
  • Mizutsune is confirmed to be Ryozo Tsujimoto's favorite of the Fated Four[2]
  • The concept for Mizutsune's armor was a Fox Marriage (キツネの嫁入り). The male armor gives the appearance of a groom (新郎) while the female armor gives the appearance of a bride (新婦).[3]
    • Mizutsune's equipment design came from the kimono.
  • When low on stamina, Mizutsune's yellow fins change to a blue color.
  • When in Rage Mode, Mizutsune's fins turn red.
    • While in Rage Mode, some of Mizutsune's bubbles stay on the ground. Its bubbles can also turn green or red, healing or granting an attack boost when they hit the hunter.
  • Mizutsune's claws and back can be wounded, its head can be wounded twice and its tail can be wounded and severed.
  • Mizutsune will eat fish from a fishing spot to recover Stamina.
  • Mizutsune's roar requires Earplugs to block.
  • In-game, the Mizutsune encountered are always male.[4]
    • Female Mizutsune have duller colors and smaller fins.
  • If Mizutsune is staggered during certain attacks, such as the water beam and slide, it will fall over and drop a shiny.
  • Mizutsune was voted 14th place in the Hunters' Choice for Top Monster during Monster Hunter's 20th Anniversary.[5]

Monster Hunter Generations


  • Mizutsune is eligible for the Hyper State.
    • Hyper Claw+ and Hyper Fluid can be obtained from Hyper Mizutsune missions.
  • There is an Event Quest where players can fight a very small Mizutsune.

Monster Hunter Rise


  • When enraged, the Mizutsune can enter the mode where it is surrounded by bubbles. It'll slide around in circles while expelling bubbles around, before eventually leaping expelling more bubbles.
    • In this mode, most of its attacks and maneuvers expel the bubbles.
    • It can also slide itself around with the bubbles when it fires the water beam, either horizontally or spinning at 360° several times.
    • A hunter can knock the Mizutsune out of this mode by dealing enough damage, causing it to trip and drop a shiny. After this, at any time when still enraged, it may re-enter this mode.
  • Mizutsune gains several new attacks.
    • It can shoot out a short burst of water from its mouth that inflicts Waterblight
    • It can use the formerly G-Rank exclusive claw slam in any rank. However, it is only performed once instead of twice.
    • It can shoot its water beam upwards, followed by it sweeping it from left to right or right to left.
  • It can be observed preying on fish or grooming its claws when not provoked.
  • Mizutsune can appear in the Rampage. It is considered a Stalker type.
  • Mizutsune has Turf Wars with Zinogre and Astalos.
  • In Master Rank, Mizutsune sends out more bubbles while sliding around.
  • Mizutsune gains a new attack where it does a tail spin before performing a tail slam directly after.

Monster Hunter Explore

  • Mizutsune can create blue bubbles which grant Arts Points upon contact.
  • It surrounds itself with 8 bubbles after it does the spin attack of the 3 step combo.
