Flem designing the horrors part 1: LEVIATHAN YOOOOO

So. Hello there. Flem here.
I am designing a leviathan ™ for an arctic region in my discord servers world- an arctic region that has plates of VERY thick ice and near boiling water beneath due to underwater geysirs.

Then, there is the elephant- or better said, leviathan in the room: While i have a base idea of his mechanics and stuff, i have not yet decided on the specifics, so i am here now.

The critter will produce a deep layer of frost around it after diving up- likely has a very streamlined body with attachments to make crawling up and down ice mountains possible- with a semi smooth underside for smooth gliding and heatvents to give off excess cold or heat depending on which mode it is in.

(During swimming: Heat is given off, the body gets cooled. During the times its atop the ice: Heat is kept in, cold air is blasted out for a protective layer.)

It will likely have “caverns” of sorts along its body to cool down its own blood and add things into the air flowing around it- it holds several organs that manipulate the airpressure around it.

WHAT SHOULD IT BE!??
  • Gill haver (fish), has to dive down to get air periodically
  • Lung haver (mammal/reptile/whatever), has to dive up to get air periodically
  • FROG. (can breath both tm)

Creature features!
  • Iceicles hang from its body after it stays on land for longer times
  • Several pairs of eyes (suggest)
  • Disguises itself as ice spot!
  • big claw to drag forwards?
  • Head fins that shoot up when it gets ready to use breath attacks!

Size.
  • One extra large please?
  • Large.
  • Schoolbus sized. Kinda.
  • Relatively small (two cars) but still impressive!
  • Size is not everything!!! Smol.

COLOURS!
  • Inspired by northern lights
  • Inspired by Glaciers
  • Pranges and reds beneath a blueish layer
  • Transparent motherfucker. Rainbow go brr.
  • Geysir coloured (greyish. With corals)

That is all. Suggest more if you wish.

Oh also, this is the EASTERN leviathan! It blends in with its surroundings (high spires) while also being the size of a small fucking island.

A mechanical mess, really- and of course it holds creatures that then swarm unsuspecting settlements.

4 pairs of eyes might look cool, with an arrangement of smth like this:


Also for the color scheme, since it’s icy and northern how about a darker (no coral) cold color scheme along with the northern-lights inspiration?

…No one’s said it yet?

Raw. Not as in “I’m gonna f-” no, I mean I am going to eat it. I’m finding this weirdo, tying it down, taking a leg, and making it watch as I EAT ITS FLESH.

If I can’t eat humans, this is the next best thing.

Loki.

Loki this things leg is higher than most houses.

Where are you gonna get those ropes.

I want to see more of these horrors when you do complete them

flame. I will find a way.

I yearn to taste the creature’s flesh. I need to sink my teeth into something that can comprehend me consuming its flesh before its eyes.

If I can’t eat people, I will consume your budget kaiju. (No, I will not elaborate where I got that from.)

The only thing stopping you is the law, become ungovernable

don’t use ropes, use chains

just go down and get the chains used on titans or smth, set them free and then put the chains on the kaiju instead

I’m taking notes, I gotchu

no but genuinely the art is very pretty and I can’t wait to see what this creature looks like

Considering the jokes I make about kobe and the queen ballin in hell, I think I already am

^^ All that i ask is that i dine on the beasts flesh alongside you

and sameee, the other one they got down looks amazing, and shows lots of promise towards the new leviathan of cold

…well cannibalismn is indeed allowed and encouraged in that setting/server

nom noms, lovely job SkÖll (being in this post has given me the energy to resume the chapter i was working on, it also happened that the most recent paragraph involved a character eating someone as they screamed from being “essentially” cut on half)

Make the tax collectors fear you Hati

I’d love to know all the specifics of thy goddess’s glorious mischief

As sidenote! Dinosaurs exist in depths!

And they bred with dragons.

Oh god they bred with dragons-

She is very young still! (only around 20 ish)

A demigod born to a human man (berserker) and a goddess (snake lady! :3)
Was basically the kid conceived in the dnd campaign said goddess happened to be in (the human was her warlock)- and now shes just pretty much vibing, doin stuff, etc.

Heard good gods have harems (ZEUS GODDAMMIT) and now has a GOAL- pansexual mess of a gremlin- and fluently shifts between several form, but that shark dog one and her pure humanoid form are the main ones.

She used to bully pirates a lot by letting the wind fuck their sails up.
They now want all of her followers DEAD.

So lovely, very new god

Gremlins are my favorite kind of character (most of the time)
has she wacked people with a frying pan before?/lh

Wonder what she gonna do to get that goal-

Doubt those Pirates are gonna succeed, their sails gonna get messed up again when they start their hunt

aye flem i just realised a better eye sequence for a pair of 4 eyes let me drop it
also interesting all these names are derived from norse mythology

not sure how this would look in practice though
