Great Leviathan

Great leviathans are creatures found in the Coral Forest, a location within the Sunken Temple. Although a great leviathan appears to be a species of baleen whales, the great leviathan does not match any extant or extinct species of whale.

Anatomy
The great leviathans are the largest creatures in the Deep Sector of the Sunken Temple. The smallest specimen is 126 feet long and probably weighs close to 200 tons, though many of the great leviathans are between 145-160 feet long with a weight between 220-250 tons. The great leviathans has countershading across their bodies, with the top of the leviathan being a dark grey color and the bottom of the body an off-white coloring.

The head of the great leviathans has a number of characteristics that makes it unique among whale species. The front of the head is bullet-shaped, with the nose being the point and sloping slightly backwards towards the mouth at the bottom of the head. Two pairs of tusks emerge from the back of the mouth, and these tusks can measure up to 10 feet long.

Great leviathans use their tail flukes to propel themselves forward while using their flippers for steering. The great leviathan possesses two front flippers near the head that measure up to 20 feet long, and two back flippers emerge from the hip area, the remnants of vestigial back limbs. The great leviathan possesses three small dorsal fins, the largest of which sits just above the vestigial back limbs and the other two just behind it.

Behavior
The great leviathans are usually seen alone or in pairs, floating high above the surface of the Coral Forest. The great leviathans seem to migrate to various areas of the Forest, and the pairs form at the beginning of the migration period.

It is unknown what the great leviathans eat. The skies above the Coral Forest are seemingly devoid of life.

Relationship with Humans
Great leviathans do not interact with humans. Preferring to float several dozen feet above the surface of the Coral Forest, there is little opportunity for a great leviathan to interfere with human activities.
