Notes & Trivia

• These monsters are from the Piscine Wyvern species
• Jyuratodus is known as the "Mud Fish Wyvern." or "Mud Piscine"
• From Monster Hunter World: The Official Complete Works(lore/art book):
• Jyuratodus's daily life is literally a muddy situation. Its scales are extremely sensitive to arid conditions, where they become brittle and the monster's cutaneous respiration also plummets in efficacy. Jyuratodus regularly stays well moisturized by covering itself in a thick layer of mud. In fact, being predisposed to wetland conditions, the Jyuratodus usually spends most of its days submerged in the waters of its marshy den. This is why the Jyuratodus is a strongly territorial monster that will not hesitate to attack any intruder who disturbs its otherwise peaceful existence. The Jyuratodus attempts to reduce such intrusions by marking the outskirts of its territory with mud.
• Mud doesn't just protect the Jyuratodus, It's also useful in battle. Jyuratodus regularly stores mud and dirt within its body and mixes it with a special water inside its water sac to make a very thick mud concoction. The Jyuratodus will expel this highly viscous mixture at an enemy in hopes of hitting it and significantly impeding its movement. Jyuratodus is also instinctively aware that many other creatures suffer limited movement in marshlands and will skillfully utilize a variety of offensive maneuvers that take advantage of this disparity, such as attacking from the depths of the swamp.
• Jyuratodus are capable of walking on two legs when they cross over obstacles or hunt Apceros. These hind legs were originally extremely powerful fins and are dexterous tucked in close to the Jyuratodus's body while it swims. Even excluding these hind legs, you may be wondering why a Jyuratodus has more fins than a standard fish. The surprising benefit of these numerous fins is that they serve dual purpose of improving balance by distributing its body wight while the massive Jyuratodus is on land, and aiding propulsion and balance when the monster is swimming. In order to deal with gravity on land and buoyancy in water, the Jyuratodus slightly adjusts its many fins when moving about. Recent findings of ancient Piscine Wyvern fossils with numerous fins suggest that Jyuratodus has maintained this body structure for a very long time.
• A Jyuratodus only feeds about once per day by preying on Aptonoths or other water-seeking herbivorous wyverns. The inside of its mouth is lined with rows of sharp meat-tearing fangs arranged on a dental plate, and its powerful jaw can crack open its prey's bones. An analysis of Jyuratodus's feeding remains suggests that they prefer to eat organs, a trait probably related to their juvenile feeding habits.
• While traveling through marshes, the Jyuratodus leaves behind muddy piles that serve as natural boundary markers for its territory.  However, the competing Barroths often destroys these markers while roaming through marshes, leading to territorial conflict between the two monsters should they cross paths. As their natural abilities and strength are comparable, many consider them to be fierce rivals.
• Jyuratodus predominantly spawn during the rainy season. Large numbers of Jyuratodus gather in the marshlands where the females directly release their unfertilized eggs. Male Jyuratodus will respond in turn by depositing their gametes in the same vicinity with hopes of fertilizing the eggs. This reproductive ritual creates a rather novel scenes as the surface of the marsh will suddenly and violently appear to undulate. Altough many eggs are successfully fertilized and even hatch, only a small handful of the hatchlings survive to maturity due to predation by other fish and cannibalism among juvenile Jyuratodus. Since this ritual only occurs during particularly turbulent rainy seasons, it's a rare event that hasn't been recorded in recent years.
• Jyuratodus are carnivorous from a young age and display a unique feeding behavior. They enter the body of their prey through its mouth, nostrils, or even an open wound. They will then proceed to devour the prey from the inside out. Note the barbed spines seen on the gills of adult Jyuratodus. These are believed to be remnants from its juvenile form, where the spikes would prevent the Jyuratodus from being expelled from their prey's body.
