Things you may not know about the Plesioth, Lavasioth, and, Aruganosu and Goruganosu (Info comes from MHFU, MHP2G, MH3U, wikiwiki.jp, atwiki.jp, Pike, mhfo.wikiwiki.jp)

Plesioth

Firstly, Plesioths breath through their skin and have lungs.

Their swimming speed is said to be faster than a galloping horse and they are faster than a Leviathan.

The water that Plesioth fires from its mouth is water that it swallowed while swimming.

Plesioths do eat giant crocodiles found in Jungles and other areas besides afew other monsters and animals.

It turns out Plesioths in certain regions can be vary from each other like Moga's Region and Schrade's Region. Plesioths in Moga's Region seem to lack toxins in their wings and they seem to be better adapted for sea life(We could consider them to be subspecies of each other).

They were just recently discovered to be able to survive in saltwater but before it was thought they were only adapted to freshwater.

Plesioths are a rare sight in some regions like Barubare.

Some places may have outbreaks with Plesioths that are living close to some areas.

The Green Plesioth seems to be its own separte species and it is also said that it is better adapted for land.

Its hunting style is believed to be opposite to the normal Plesioth's hunting style.

Turns out those giant Plesioths seen in MH3U, are rare indiviuals and are usually found in Moga's Region.

A Plesioth's eggs hatch inside its body and, like sharks the first few that hatch eat the eggs and the other young inside the womb. Only afew of them will survive to adulthood and only the strongest survive, when the mother gives birth. This proves that Plesioths are cannbailsaltic, atleast when they are young.

Lavasioth

Firstly, they are extremely aggressive and are rare compared to other Piscine Wyverns.

There is a large amount of coal that covers Lavasioth's body, making that powerful armor. It is said that rare ore can be found in their armor.

It appears that red aura sometimes seen on Lavasioth is from a special organ.

Their scales are a beautiful gold in color, which make many wonder if I has some connection to the Goldenfish we catch.

Lavasioths hunt on the land and will leave the lava to hunt/ambush threats prey. They will prey on anything they can kill in their territory.

They can't chew their food from their poor teeth but they swallow their prey in chunks.

Lavasioth's legs are powerful, allowing them to jump pretty high, even while on land.

Lavasioths have been confirmed to live in more than one region.

They breath through their nose, so they do have lungs and it seems they can't smell anymore. In a long run, Pulmonary Respiration.

Its eyes are bad like other Piscine Wyverns.

Its believed that its auditory organ isn't very strong so it can't really make to many sounds though some of its senses are said to be strong.

The Lavasioth Subspecies is a male Lavasioth during Breeding Season that has covered itself in rare volcanic ore.

Its unknown what the HC Lavasioth is/what causes it. Maybe a Lavasioth that has taken better care of itself, unlike others from its teeth or maybe it has something to do with certain volcanic rocks.

Their teeth are strong enough to break through a Apceros' defense.

The fins are powerful weapons, even just the smaller fins.

Aruganosu and Goruganosu

Firstly, they were both first seen as "Unknown Monsters Rampaging On the Towers" until hunters got the biggest shock of their life.

They are actually said to be fighting each other and that is their way with communicating with each other. Its even said that they will call truces when faced with another threat.

They were first discovered in an unexplored part of the Towers.

Their nature and abilities make them seem like make believe monsters with the powers of Elder Dragons.

They are treated as another species of Lavasioth or just a close relative of them. They are both considered to have the same ancestor but adapted for their own unique living.

Their scales and body are said to have special powers and, to be reflective to light.

Aruganosu's scales are said to be cold as ice and a beautiful silver while Goruganosu's scales are said to harden after a period of time.

Its said that their population is quite small.
