Things you may not know about Lagiacrus(Info comes from MH3, MH3U, MH4 wikiwiki.jp, atwiki.jp, Pike)

Firstly, Lagiacrus are the top predators of the sea and they will attack any other large monsters on sight, including other Lagiacrus.

Its title, Lord of the Sea, comes from the fact that Lagiacrus are able to sink whole ships. Its also called the Sea Wyvern by fisherman and sailors. Despite its title, Lagiacrus isn't limited to the sea but can also be found living freshwater areas if the water is deep enough to support it. From this, Lagiacrus becomes a most wanted monster in some areas.

Lagiacrus can stay submerged underwater for about half a day(In a sense 12 hours). Its able to stay under for so long because, similar to crocodilians, it has a bony flap that it uses to block of water while underwater.

It limbs are very fin-like and its hood is as well along with its tail. These are used to help it swim at extreme speeds.

Lagiacrus is able to release lightning by contracted its cells at high speeds inside its muscles. When it does this some of the electricity actually combines with some of the mucus in its mouth, allowing it to spit out those lightning projectiles.

Lagiacrus hunt fish and Epioth. To hunt, they will make a whirlpool and suck prey into it while shocking prey with their powerful lightning shocks, killing them(Why don't they do this in-game). They also do this to ship and boats.

A SS(Shell Shocker)releases electricity, SS+ permits greater electric output, and a DS(Deathly Shocker)releases huge bolts of lightning.

Its skin is quite soft and Lagiacrus Tails end up on Moga dinner plates(Hope I don't know anyone from Moga).

Ivory Lagiacrus is much rarer than Lagiacrus and even just considered to be a near legend to seamen. Despite being rarer, it actually is a lot more dangerous than Lagiacrus.

Ivory Lagiacrus spends a lot more time on land than in the water but will hunt in the water when food is scarce on land and to travel to other areas. Its swimming abilities are pretty much beyond Lagiacrus.

Its lightning is much more destructive, can even harm Ivory Lagiacrus itself, its lightning has no cool time, and it can perform electrical attacks more often. To protect itself from its own shocks, it will feed on quartz, which mix with its shell and armor, making its body tougher and turning it into its white color(Yep, it is the same species as Lagiacrus). Its lightning can be used on land as well, unlike Lagiacrus.

The Chief of Moga went against an Ivory Lagiacrus many times for the past years until he finally retired from hunting. He retired because the Ivory Lagiacrus almost killed him with its powerful lightning.

Their scales gleam in light.

An Ivory Lagiacrus D-Shovker can produce rain thunderbolts.

Abyssal Lagiacrus was an unknown extremely rare species of Lagiacrus that was thought to never exist until recently. It was only known in a ancient scroll: From the abyss' darkest cave Comes the master of the wave Consumer of the world entire Devil of the sea most dire Fear it as you fear the grave

The Abyssal Lagiacrus' true identity is a Lagiacrus/Ivory Lagiacrus(This goes for both of them)that have gone through many years of living. This is their final stage of life.
