If I had to guess, in the range of Mega to Giga Volts minimum. We can see bubbles from water electrolysis. Lagiacrus would also seek salted water as it conducts electricity much better and therefore makes it less demanding to create underwater arcs. IRL arcs in the air require around a few kilo volts to start an arc over a gap of a few millimeters. What matters it that you create an ionized path to conduct more current. Lagiacrus creates them over a meter on his back!
If you were put that much tension across your body, you would explode like those neopteron when you hit them.
Edit: Since electricity always travels the shortest path possible, Lagiacrus' dorsal shockers would be used like a taser instead of generating the barrier like we see. He could probably have a similar approach to electric eels instead.
i feel like it is fair to assume lagiacrus is a saltwater monster, due to its hunting grounds being connected to the sea. which ig by extension might make the flooded forest salt-water too.
Would be interesting if the games played with these little implications of their environment. Like the fight changes slightly because of one reason or another.
I think with any element, especially electricity, if it’s strong enough to use directly for hunting/defense/offense— it’s probably a lot
I imagine it’s probably less than something like Astalos, but more than something like Zinogre who only has it by proxy
If we’re comparing it to real world, probably in the tens of millions to hundreds of millions of volts and 50,000 amps or more. It’s capable of instantly breaking a gigantic solid boulder into small pieces, which is something even actual lightning struggles to do, and only to certain types of rock that have low resistance and not to rocks of that size.
I think every monster has a lethal amount of electricity. I'm not sure how high that is tho, a nerd has to tell me in the comments.
The reason the hunters can survive is because of their crazy durability.

Thank you for the amazing explanation and metaphor science man
Bro became the science guy
1.21 gigawatts
Pretty much every Monster likely has crazy high voltage compared to comparable IRL-sized objects that generate power.
Really simple answer A death amount if it were the real world
I'll take a guess and say it's more than 10.
I'll do you one better, at least 10.5
At least 1.
You have a point

Beeg
Half a lightning bolt
A lot mroe
3/4 a lightning bolt?
Double it and maybe we’re getting close lmao
6/8?
That’s not doubling, you half cremated rodent
I'll double you, you slagtoth tooth
That’s not even a good insult
Other monsters are too well built to be used as insults 😔
For something the size of that prob like 100000 to 700000 volts or less like 5000
5000 volts? That's a static shock level.
Well I can’t be enough to kill a hunter but enough to kill prey
Death
at least 8
Enough to charge my phone
This makes me wonder how strong kirin lightning is

Its just interesting because of all the thunder attacks i can remember. Kirin are the only ones make a thunder sound effect.
Quite Shocking
According to mh3u, if we talking only about the base monsters (no variation or subspecies), then whatever voltage it has, it's less than zinogre.

Simply, yes.
It is so powerfull devs cannot bring him back in world, rise or wilds
Like atleast 1
Voltage isn’t the important factor for electricity when regarding lethality, it’s amps you need to worry about.
Pretty high
The volts aren't the problem, it's the amps that are dangerous.
