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!
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.
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
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.
