Leading the charge in Title Update 1 is the beloved monster Mizutsune. Known for its dragon-type classification and its habitat in aquatic environments, Mizutsune uses bubble-laden attacks that can inflict conditions like Bubbleblight on hunters. Its distinctive pink scales and purple fur not only make it a formidable foe but also a source of some of the most aesthetically pleasing gear in the game.

Footage from the trailer shows Mizutsune ambushing the newcomer Doshaguma, suggesting that its ability set will remain largely unchanged. However, the specific locations where players can encounter Mizutsune are yet to be revealed.
