Leading the charge in Title Update 1 is the return of Mizutsune, a fan-favorite dragon-type monster known for its aquatic habitat and bubble-based attacks that can inflict Bubbleblight. With its striking pink scales and purple fur, Mizutsune not only poses a thrilling challenge but also offers some of the most visually appealing gear in the game. While its location in *Monster Hunter Wilds* remains a mystery, the trailer showed Mizutsune ambushing the newcomer Doshaguma, suggesting its combat mechanics will remain largely unchanged.
