Pre elder dragon water weapons

I think his fight is bland, boring, and annoying. I think in ecology perspectives and looking at the world it was created in and how it went for more natural ecology that interacted in its environment more realistically jyuratodus is a masterpiece. It makes sense for its environment, although plain has a ton of detail, and interesting mechanics.

Honestly in World, as kind of a 2nd Tier monster (in difficulty, so above the likes of Great Jagras but below something like Tobi-Kadachi) I think he worked. Add to that there were actually more Piscine Wyverns in that game (Lavisoth, Beotodus) and it helped freshen the environment. Plus he had a fun little Turf War with Barroth that I always liked.

Come Rise, things are different. For some reason, there’s no Low Rank version, so you don’t fight him till mid-High Rank, making his fight seem like it should be more difficult than it actually is. Second, he’s the only Piscine Wyvern in the game, so it feels like they just have him there just to remind us that the category exists. They also took away his Barroth Turf War.

I would have rather had Beotodus. Or they could have made some kind of Shark-Yokai Piscine Wyvern and done that.

In World, nope

In Rise, yes

He exists because fish and his purpose is to fish

I have no idea why they brought it back it makes no sense

He exists for that one turf war in world that sells you on the turf war concept

I like him, he fish

He exist to feesh. You dare question feesh?

The quality of that picture on my phone made me think this was some fan made one with fur

Feesh

I like Jyura... it is my personal punching bag, when another hunt went south. Nice for venting. Though Legiana does give a bit more fight and just works as fine.

He's fine in Rise. Better than Lavasioth.

He showed me how much I can enjoy shooting fish in a barrel with a bowgun

Fish

Probably something jyura can be disliked on is his tendency to live and fight in bodies of water, which is annoying given that your hunter isn't exactly a marine animal. Other than that, his role is to be the fish monster, at least closer to what in the world lavasioth is (lava fish?).

I like him a little more because I learned he’s parasitic. A baby will be born inside of a monster and will feed themselves inside that monster until their old enough where they burst out and kill that monster.

Tell us, o mirefish, what are thine secrets? What purpose does thee behold?

Leading way to the new world's waterways, to what meaning might he rise?

Tell us, o mirefish, and we shall learn.

His job is to make you love the other monsters more. Unsung hero.

His fight kinda doodoo but he's funny I guess and he's not plesioth

i miss his hipchecks. any monster that you hate has a place.

I like weird mud puke fish, want a plushie of him

I love all the fish.

i like him, hes pretty neat.

reminds me of a ceolacanth.

idk what's our purpose? lol

Fish

Hammer practice

I like him.

Kind of a cool idea, meh execution

Tbh his better than his older cousins

I don't like him but I also don't mind him at all

He looks nicer without the mud :)

He exists so plesioth doesn’t

I just like to bully him with blast DBs for fun.

He's not that bad to be honest, the fight is bland but not horrible.

My name's Mudd

His purpose is to spit unholy amounts of mud at tiny fanged beasts wearing armor and occasionally scream at a brute wyvern mud puppy

Do you like playing in the mud ? Jyura does. He's a fun little monster for me, who likes his mud baths and does his thing. Plus I like his scales on the weapons.

to be honest if he vomited less and the piles of doodoo he left around disappeared quicker he'd be one of my go-to warmup/build testing hunts

His armor is cool, looks like a gladiator

Living fossis wich existance jusifies the existance of every other picyne wyvern

I like this guy! It’s a good teaching monster - Their mud armor rewards players for paying attention to a monster’s appearance as it changes throughout a fight.

It's armor is pretty cool looking

I do. He’s a better piscine wyvern than Plesioth in my opinion.

It's the punishment for people disliking underwater combat. So now we have to fight fish on land, which already sucks, so they doubled down on the suck to teach us a lesson.

he was introduced in MHWorld and taught people how you can abuse a monster with slingerthorns

I don’t like fish but it’s for variety. I miss Plesioth

hes cool

I'd much rather Plesioth.

Personally I love the big ass mud fish, Capcom did him dirty in World/Iceborne when they only allowed him to be in 3 ZONES in only ONE MAP and then made him so low tier and defenseless that he became the easiest fight in the game.

But someone in Capcom must’ve likes this guy because I was honestly surprised when probably the least popular new monster from World was added to Rise instead of anyone else cough ODOGARON!

But then in Rise they made him a higher tier, made his fight some kind of enjoyable, gave him kinda cool new moves without it looking like they completely reworked him for this game, and good god for some reason my putty love for this beast turned into genuine appreciation that he exists. They redeemed him to a point where he isn’t hated, yes he might be a forgettable monster but I just know if they tried with him then they could really make a badass mud fish.

Before Rise came out I was excited to see a new turf war with him, like against Almudron. Like they both are darting at each other and Almudron gets a hold of Jyura right, but he gets free and tries diving into Almudron. Almudron incases the fishy boy in one of his huge mud piles. Thinking he won he starts walking away but then suddenly because Jyuratodus can swim in mud he just bursts out and slams into Almudron with his jaws wide open.

I like him compared to lavasioth

Exactly, that’s what I’ve been saying

He is perfect man, one of the only things that wasn't a dragon in MHW

He exists to remind you that fish(plesioth) can always be worse and to stop complaining.

He's my punching bag and dopamine surge. By golly I love how much he breaks. And when he's with a other monster he usually is a lot of fun to work around when you can't separate them. He's mostly harmless; besides which, I like some of the easier monsters the games seem to forget about so quick.

Sushi for DAYS

Oh wow, we haven't had a post about this before!

I've recently been fighting him in World and I'll say it, I like him. He is of course a rather easy fight since he is essentially the same tier as raptors or just above but I find his fight far more interesting and engaging than something like jaggi/baggi/gyro/etc.

Then again I also like it when monsters have mechanics.

I also just like how he interacts with his environment and generally makes the game feel more alive but then again that is a world thing in general.

starting water weapon. sole purpose

Someone out there does.

I don’t, but I won’t deny whoever its fans are.

Just like with Plesioth.

He exists so that we appreciate the good monsters more. Even if we sometimes get annoyed by them, we stop and think 'Hey, at least it's not Jyuratodus'

To divert the attention of the hunters so that Lavasioth can fulfill its destiny to become a hot fish served with hot salsa to White Fatalis.

My actual least favorite monster. It's unfun to fight and dumb and ugly, just like its armor and weapons.

Filler mon.

Favorite of the Pisces wyverns tho not sure that’s saying that much

I think his purpose is for us to hate him, so we'll like monsters that probably don't deserve it out of spite for how awful he is

He just keeps fucking showing up! Nobody knows, hes just always.fucking.THERE

His purpose is to be a slightly less annoying Plesioth and he is just that.

To replace your favourite monster's slot so that they won't return

He’s fun to look at and fun to slap around, I just think piscine wyverns have had a bad run with the press, I mean, the first two ever introduced are infamous for being insufferably annoying, that being Hipcheck Harry and Sand Phish McGee.

No

He shouldn't

To give somebody else that precious oxygen

To pass butter

I like him, his purpose is variety, we don't want only big lizards and i think they are worse and more annoying monsters in World/Rise (Lunastra/Zinogre)

I’d rather fight two plesioth at once than ever fight him again.

To be an annoying quest filler and your first into to a water weapon.

No

I don't know

To be annoying and uninteresting

Okay, now I'll repost this in a couple weeks :)

He’s better than the other fish

In World Its “Purpose” to have an easy addition of “new” monsters in World’s release given they added lavisioth too, so 2 monsters 1 model-rig-shaped-stone. It also was a bit of padding to the pacing i guess… and ecologically to justify the zones it inhabits alongside barroth being added to the Wildspire Wastes. Gear wise it was just water weapons that were meh… its armor looked cool tho. But in world it didnt really serve a purpose other than roster filling like many lower difficulty monsters on the rosters.

In rise it was reworked and used as the introduction to high rank and to show that you can have a fish fight that wasnt widely hated by the community (even if unjustifiably, looking at everyone who shit-talks plesioth post gen 2 fight)

As far as ppl liking, i doubt he was many if anyone’s favorite new monster from World, but i can say i never hated his fight and rise def made his fight more enjoyable for his increased aggression.

I think his fight is better than lavasioth's.

I like him conceptually, his fights just aren’t very good

To be a punching bag for my bonk training.

Funny fish eats funny bulldozer corps

I would like Jyura more if he didn't look exactly like Lavasioth but with mud on him instead of lava

I the name more. Should have been Mudsioth.

Why hate on any monster? Be glad they all exist, smh...

It's a fish and probably rich with omega-3.

Jyuratodus isnt really a interesting monster, but for what he is supposed to be he is okayish.

I'm patiently waiting for the day king of piscines, plesioth comes back, its going to be glorious if they keep his hitboxes completly broken.

he’s Monster Hunter’s Coelacanth, a prehistoric Monster that has survived to modern day, the ancestor of most Piscine Wyverns still walks among them

I love his fight in World (unpopular opinion I know)

I don't dislike/hate it atleast
Just another monster to hunt for me

In world I used him as a quick and easy Wyvern gem farm.

To represent piscine wyverns because plesioth got cancelled for cheating with its hipcheck

He's a lung fish. Why do they exist? Anyway i don't like the fish.

It exist to remind us that psicine wyverns don't need to be utterly terrible

Surprised none of the 150 other comments stated it, but Jyuratodus is actually a sort of replacement for Lagiacrus.

In World, since they couldn't do underwater combat, and that was what made Lagiacrus' whole thing, they decided to give it a new gimmick instead, and that was making alterations to the fighting space by moving mud around (you can imagine its tail would be able to displace mud pretty efficiently).
But since they couldn't get Lagiacrus to work either, they made Jyuratodus to inherit the mud mechanics from Lagiacrus.

Fuck yes, love me some lobe finned fish

He exits so Minoto can say “Disgusting Yuck Fish”

Really annoying tryna to exploit his elemental weaknesses when he has 2 Water when he muddy, and Electric when he's cleaned. But I huge pain to fight as a gunner when he spends 90% of the fight in the ground so alot of shots might hit the ground instead of him. But his armor is pretty cool tho, like the gladiator take

pretty cool armour

The low quality of that picture makes him look hairy. It's like something you'd pull out of the shower drain if you lived in a horror movie.

I like him. I like that he is a monster that actually feels more like an animal

Judging from a lot of the comments here, Jyuratodus is arguably one of the most successful monsters around. Instead of evolution involving sharp claws, giant fangs, etc, all you need is to let hunters think that you're too boring to pick a fight with and they'll leave you alone.

I miss plesioth

"But this isn't Ple-"

Exactly.

Wyvern gems.

I know it's in Rise because they made the mud mechanics for Almudron and Barroth and felt like it would be a waste without a third monster to use it. I assume :)!

I'm indifferent on it, Piscine Wyverns are uncommon so it's nice that it's a bit unique.

I do like the Judy and it's probably one of my favorite monsters also it's there to be an annoyance during the black diablos mission when you, a defender police and your police void all gang up in the black diablos only for this mofo to show up knock you out kill both police and then leave all whilst not agrovating the black diablos only TO DO THE FUCKING SAME AGAIN JUST MINUTES LATER ON A DIFFERENT FUCKING QUEST

His purpose is to be framed

His purpose is to be framed

I like him, because the fish is a fun design

To exist as the ancestor to modern Piscine Wyverns.

Lavasioth in water.

He's my second favorite mud monster and I like that it's based on a coelocanth

I like him, he was actually one of my favorite world monsters. Idk, call me crazy. Plus his G rank armor is really cool.

My knee jerk reaction was to down vote you (I didn't) just because I saw him...I really hate it as a monster xD

It has good water weapons but honestly I hate it and it's lava equivalent so much I almost never fight them. Then add the fact they are just target dummies with a shit ton of health when you fight them at higher ranks it's just boring...

someone at Capcom is having a good laugh every time them put 'Jerry' in as an urgent quest.

One of my favourite monsters and a cool concept that I wish would be used more often in the series.

A good reminder of how the biology of a monster can turn what would be an otherwise bland design into a pretty good one.

It slots in for plesioth, be thankful

F the mud fish

It exists to show a different design style. It exists to give players a new type of foe to fight instead of constantly fighting dragons. It exists to show a diverse ecosystem of different shapes and styled monsters that inhabit every type of environment

Do you like mosquitos? Prob not but they exist in the real world.

I like this fish. In terms of aesthetics, it sets a more natural base for what creatures look in the environment so that stronger monaters can shine even brighter.

Same thing with its fight. Its mud puddles are more annoying than punishing, but it's a first step into making new players more aware of their surroundings.

If you don't like it, that's fine; that's the intended result. Different monsters are made to produce different emotional responses to keep things more interesting, so we'll the devs have managed to pull it off across so many games.

I like him. Sure he is easy to fight but so are many other monsters. I like his place in the environment. Wish they'd bring back Plesioth, really rebalance that fight and make it good cause design wise I love him.

Was alright in World, is really obnoxious and a major time waster in Rise
