Devs should add a massive underwater monster. Thoughts?

[Astralmetic]

I have self-diagnosed Thalassophobia and slight Megalophobia and I would love to bring out each in me and fight a huge sea creature. Closest thing we get is the Jyuratodus and he isn't that big or goes that deep underwater. Just my thoughts since they seem to be adding free monsters such as Deviljo and Behemoth.

Lagiacrus was a great monster in MH3, but as far as I know, Capcom said underwater combat would be exclusive to MH3 only (probably MH3U too for obvious reasons but I didnt play the Ultimate version). Atleast that's what I remember, and it makes getting a monster like Lagiacrus again really sad if it can't go underwater.

Damn never knew that. Man, can u imagine underwater in THIS game?! It would so freaking nuts.

The problem with large uderwater monsters is that the first one that will come to mind for most people is Ceadeus, in particular the awful corridor DPS check that just serves to be really slow and waste your time (think Zorah Magdaros without the magma cores, ore veins and nerg) and the second half of the fight wasn't much better, still a big slow lump, just it might actually direct attacks at you sometimes.
I'm one of the few people that enjoyed the 3U underwater combat, but it really did not work for Ceadeus, and having that track record suggests that any future large water monster will completly suck.

Those small ''shortcuts'' where you take a dive underwater like in the ancient forest and the wastes is about as much as we get to underwater mechanics. It was cool in MH3, and it would work really well in MHW, but yeah I don't think it'll come anytime soon. Maybe next generation, like someone else said.

that really sucks, there are a bunch of cool monsters that really need underwater combat to work properly (looking at you Plesioth) and without it, they would have to suffer through basically being half of a monster

To be fair Plesioth was always partly a ground fight, it just had the ability to get in the water in MHFU and basically just stall the fight if you didnt spam sonic bombs. It still was better to fight in MH3, though.

And devs already thought of that before even releasing the open beta by making Lagiacrus in World, then they decided not to implement it because they felt it didn't fit into the game. So there won't be any underwater fights in World ever most likely.

It didn't fit due to a problem in its skeleton

They did add one in a early mhw proto type build but removed Lagiacrus because of model issues and time https://youtu.be/Q2qbFgRGDDA?t=4m2s he is near the end of this video also jyuratodus took some of his move set also

Devs are now the modders since they didn't care much about PC players.

I doubt you'd want water monsters in world. It's already a pain to wade through waist deep water. If you already hate kushala, it won't get any better in the water.
