Royal Ludroth was in Portable 3rd where there was no underwater combat and it didn't hide in the water where you couldn't reach it, plus it is an amphibious creature. I'm pretty certain a fight with an amphibian monster will be the same so I say there is no problem with adding semi-aquatic creatures.
