Plesioth are large Piscine Wyverns commonly found in jungles and desert water caves. Plesioth have shiny blue scales and heads shaped like that of sharks. They are commonly seen in the water, but have adapted legs for hunting. When weakened, the Plesioth's top fin flattens against their back.
Due to its aquatic nature, the Plesioth spends a lot of its time in the water, making Blademasters hailing from Moga dive into the water to attack, and others having to lure it out with other methods. There are a few ways to lure the monster out of its domain. The most common way is throwing a Sonic Bomb; this will make the Plesioth jump with surprise and it will usually leap out of the water afterwards. However, Sonic Bombs don't work 100% of the time, and automatically send the Plesioth into Rage Mode. Gunners can shoot Crag S to trigger the same effect. Another method would be to fish it out, using Frogs as bait. This method can only be done if the Plesioth is calm and not engaged in a battle with a hunter.
In-Game Description

Notes
- The Plesioth can be fished out with a Frog in certain areas, dealing damage.
- Using a sonic bomb is an easy alternative to fishing out a Pleslioth. Just be cautious that it will enter rage mode upon recovering.
- The dorsal fin can be broken by hitting the Plesioth in the belly.
- When near death, Plesioth won't enter rage mode if affected by a Sonic Bomb's sound.
- When near death, Plesioth will put its dorsal fin down.
- If killed in water, the Plesioth will sink and then come back up and float on the surface; of course, doing this means no carves are possible.
- Beware of the Plesioth's shoulder/hip attack, as it can hit and damage you even when you are on the other side of the direction of the attack.
- HC Plesioth has much more muscle mass and more tinted color with spotted wings. Its moves are more land based and aggressive, as it will perform sweeping water beams,Body slams,Sleep causing liquid,Fake sleep,Charges on foot were it will try to run hunters over with its shap spiked feet and jumps that it can even U-turn mid air to body slam then slither.
- Plesioth returns in Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, where the hunter is able to fight it underwater as well as on land.
- In Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, the Plesioth will lower its fins when hungry. After it regains stamina or becomes enraged, it will raise its fins again. When close to death it will actually limp instead of lowering its fins.
- In Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, Plesioth will sleep in area 11 of the Deserted Island in order to recover health, unlike Leviathans, which flee to area 12.
- Additionally, with the introduction of underwater combat, Plesioth can now be killed underwater and still be carvable.
- In Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, the fin on Plesioth's head (as well as the head itself being scratched), and on its wings can now be broken in addition to its main dorsal fin.
- As of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, Flash Bombs will work against Plesioth.
- Plesioth can recover it's stamina by eating Epioth in Area 10
- He can also eat from the Epioth corpse in Area 11, although this is more uncommon.
- In MH3U, Plesioth's Hip Check no longer does as wide a range of attacking as before. It is easier to avoid for the most part, and in most cases, can be avoided by moving to the head area as he turns about. His tail spin however, remains the same.
