The Lophiil is a fish-like monster that can light up the dark underwater caves that it resides in. It is capable of using the dragon element, and can even swallow hunters whole. They have been becoming a recent problem for boats in the region, as it seems they are populating more frequently. The Lophiil makes its first appearance in Monster Hunter: Wyvern Instincts.
Physiology[]
The Lophiil has a long, dark red, eel-like body. It has four dark pink fins on its sides, two on each. It also has a long, flat back fin of the same color. It has buggy, bright blue eyes that glow in the dark. It has an angler-like light as well. Lophiil has large, sharp, uneven yellow teeth that stick out of its large mouth. It also has faint, purple tiger-like stripes across its body that glow bright when it is charged with dragon energy.
Behavior[]
Not much is known about the Lophiil. It is known to be nocturnal and usually lives in deep, dark caves underwater. It seems to eat a lot, and lately has been venturing out further from the deep than usual, even going so far as to attack boats at the surface. What is causing this is unknown.
Abilities[]
The Lophiil uses a lot of biting moves. It can charge itself with dragon energy and use that through its bites, causing even more damage. The light on its head doesn't cause blinding flashes like Gobul. Instead, Lophiil swings it around, charging it with dragon energy as well. It can even surge dragon through its body. It is also able to expel this mysterious black gas that can cause Night Sickness.
