Leading the charge in Title Update 1 is the return of Mizutsune, a fan-favorite dragon-type monster known for its aquatic prowess and bubble-based attacks that can inflict Bubbleblight. With its striking pink scales and purple fur, Mizutsune not only presents a challenging hunt but also yields some of the most aesthetically pleasing gear in the game. While its location within the game remains a mystery, its attack patterns are expected to remain true to form, as seen in the trailer where it ambushes the newcomer Doshaguma.
