Epioth Ecology

The Espioth is described as a marine version of the land dwelling Aptonoth and it is but there are still several important differences between the 2 herbivores. Unlike the Aptonoth, Espioth live in small groups rather than large herds being that the water, whether in the sea or jungle river, have abundant hiding places. This is the only leviathan that doesn't leave the water, this could hint that it's actually a link between the Leviathans and their ancestor similarly to Gobul, then again it doesn't look THAT fish like. They feed mainly on weeds, water grasses, and algae but can be fooled easily by Gobul's plant disguise being that they spend most of their time grazing, leading it to be gobbled up in a flash and being the Gobul's main prey. Gobul isn't the only main predator to Espioth, Lagiacrus, Roarudorosu, and Ludroth all live in both the ocean and jungle just like Espioth so, as with every herbivore monster, it's quite low in th food chain, even Qurupeco may fish for it at times. Their fast swimming and numbers are their best defense against any hungry mouth.
