I cannot make sense of most monsters ranged attacks.

Firstly, few (except thrown boulders) arc with gravity. Plesioths water cannon goes like a laser, and rath fireballs fly straight. If the fireball was made of a gloopy mass, as I thought, it would fall, and if it was a gas as would be neccecery for it to fly straight, it would disintergrate immediatly.

And Khezu's lightning balls that hug the floor? Just what?

Plesioths water cannon should both arc and disintergrate in flight. Imagine a water gun - the surface tension pulls drops together turning it into a shower rather than jet at range. It doesn't even disintergrate underwater.
