Lavasioth

Lavasioth is a Piscine Wyvern with rock hard scales. Glowing magma aurates from veins in its body. It lives in volcano zones where it can freely swim in the lava. Its attacks and movements are vaguely similar to those of a Plesioth and Blos-type wyverns. It can fire huge balls of magma at hunters; when these hit the ground, they scatter into smaller molten rocks which can still do considerable damage. Lavasioth can also jump up and slam itself down on the ground - this attack is very powerful. Another attack is the 'Sliding U Turn'. It will slide bodily across the floor towards hunters, but after missing can turn around and slide at hunters again, with pin-point accuracy.



Lavasioths are featured in Monster Hunter Frontier. It was first released in the game to be hunted on August 8, 2007. They also make an appearance in Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G and Monster Hunter Freedom Unite.

In Monster Hunter Frontier 8.0, it gains a new attack in which it stands up tall and spits several fireballs into the air, which fall down onto hunters.
