tyrantisterrorart:LEVIATHANSAnd tonight’s second preview of the bestiary I’m kinda sorta working on - enjoy this rough draft of the Leviathans found on the coasts of Midgaheim and Mediterra. Most if not all of these can be found in the other (currently unnamed) continents of this setting, of course, and there are other leviathan species that don’t frequent those waters (Lotan, Tanin, and Rahab are notable exclusions), but I have to focus on some small slice or I’ll be completely lost in this already far too large of a project.Like Behemoths, the exact taxonomic location of Leviathans is supposed to be kind of vague. If I had to pin them down somewhere, I’d say they’re kinda sort of close to ceolacanths, but honestly any bony fish could work. They’re far from the only sea monsters in the setting, too - they have to compete with Guivres (sea dragons) Krakens, and a few more oddballs I haven’t covered yet.We can split these guys up into three groups: True Leviathans, the snakey eely fellas at the top; Armored Leviathans, the two ones with thick dorsal plates; and Sear Boars, i.e. the ones most inspired by (woefully inaccurate) Medieval woodcuts of whales.Some notes on the individual species after the cut!
