Royal Ludrothロアルドロス
Leviathan ・ 水獣
Also called the "water beast." It soaks the sponge-like scales around its neck with water to keep its skin from drying out, which helps it on land. When the sponge starts to shrink it loses that ability, so it bathes to recover. It also spits a special slime that knocks prey off its feet.
A leviathan with a sponge-like mane. It bathes to keep the mane full of water.

How the guidebook says to hunt it
Tricky attacks, but plenty of openings if you watch closely
Royal Ludroth has many kinds of attack, but its big movements make them easy to dodge. Its easy-to-damage parts can be hit with any weapon, which makes it a good monster for getting used to a weapon. When hunting Royal Ludroth, do not forget to keep Nulberries on hand for the attacks that cause minor waterblight.
