Violet Mizutsune is a male Leviathan and Rare Species of Mizutsune first introduced in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak.
Appearance
All Violet Mizutsune are male, as just like their regular counterpart, the females are not seen. Violet Mizutsune has whitish-lilac scales with light streaks of indigo running down his body, as well as indigo fins and black fur. During his empowered state, his fur glows a faintblue. Like many Rare Species, Violet Mizutsune is slightly larger than a regular Mizutsune.
Habitats
Violet Mizutsune have rarely been spotted at all, with very few being found at the Infernal Springs and Forlorn Arena.
Abilities
On top of the graceful agility of Mizutsune, Violet Mizutsune's body produces a type of oil-like secretion instead of Bubblefoam, which it can ignite using friction from its body to bathe its surroundings in a beautiful but deadly inferno. It can use this to launch flaming bubbles that home in on hunters after a delay, streams of fluid that ignite on impact, and fiery puddles that explode once ignited. By increasing the secretion rate of this fluid, it can wreath itself in white-hot flames, giving its physical attacks fiery impact and improving all of its existing ones. Dealing enough damage to these flaming parts will knock it out of this state.
Behavior
Like its counterpart, Violet Mizutsune likes to sleep when not fighting and will react with violence should an intruder appear. It can easily defeat monsters like the Tigrex with ease. However it must contend with dangerous monsters such as Apex Monsters, equally powerful Rare Species, and Elder Dragons for territory.

Notes
General Notes
- Violet Mizutsune was added to Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak (and introduced in the series as a whole) in the second Title Update along with Flaming Espinas and Risen Chameleos on September 29, 2022.
- Violet Mizutsune is the second Rare Species in the series as a whole to be introduced prior to a Subspecies of its standard form, following Silver Hypnocatrice, and the only instance of this in the main series.
- Violet Mizutsune was voted 63rd place in the Hunters' Choice for Top Monster during Monster Hunter's 20th Anniversary.[1]
Monster Hunter Rise
- Violet Mizutsune is unlocked at MR 10, alongside Amatsu, Chaotic Gore Magala, Flaming Espinas, Gold Rathian, Primordial Malzeno, Seething Bazelgeuse, Silver Rathalos, Velkhana, and Anomaly Quests.
- Some of these additions specifically require other quest completions to unlock, Primordial Malzeno requiring Amatsu to be defeated, both Rath Rare Species requiring Seething Bazelgeuse's defeat, and Violet Mizutsune requring Flaming Espinas' defeat. The player must speak to Doctor Tadori to accept the quest.
- For the beginning segment of the fight, the standard theme of the map will play, followed by "A Bewitching Dance - Mizutsune" once Violet Mizutsune activates its flame aura for the first time.
- In its Hazard Quest, its theme will play for the entire battle.
- Violet Mizutsune's ultimate attack summons a massive flaming bubble that hovers in the air for a period of time, after which it will create a vortex that sucks Hunters in before crashing the bubble onto them in a massive explosion. If enough damage is delt to Violet Mizutsune to knock it over during this period, the bubble will instead turn orange and land on Violet Mizutsune itself, dealing massive damage to it.
- Quest Damsel Chichae mistakenly calls it a Subspecies instead of Rare Species.
- The Violet Mizutsune in the 6★ Event Quest "Hazard: Dance of Disaster" has increased stats and an altered moveset:
- It will immediately enter its flaming aura state instead of enraging normally first.
- Its charged blast creates a sequential line of explosions instead of one.
- Several of its attacks can now immediately combo into each other and hit multiple times in succession.
- Can leave behind trails of homing bubbles while sliding.
- Immediately spins towards the hunter after launching a cluster bubble.
- When summoning its giant bubble, it will immediately also shoot out a large amount of homing bubbles before spinning its water beam in a circle around itself.
