Name of Species: Sand Leviathan
Homelands: Dry Ocean
Prefered Weapon: Teeth, tail
Unique Power: Can cause minor earthquakes
Likes: Sand, sand, sand, sand, sand, and more sand! Oh, yes, and water.
Description: The Sand Leviathan is a beastly and monstrous cousin of the regular sea Leviathan. This creature tends to dwell under mountains and mountains of sand undersea or out of sea, almost like a walking catfish. The Sand Leviathan does not move as regularly as every other animal might, however. It is usually motionless and lazy, living under the sand as if it were an all-around bed.
When the Sand Leviathan is hungry, which is roughly every three months, it surfaces and devours oncoming ships, fish, and other animals for approximately five days. When the 'food-bingeing' frenzy stops, the predator buries back down into the sand, making a completely new mound.
Tips: The best time to launch a strike on teh Sand Leviathan is when it is burying itself into the sand AFTER a frenzy. If you're a smart harpooner, you might just net yourself a couple of its bronze scales while recovering the body. Since the body is bigger than twenty full-sized galleons, a haul rope is recommended to bring it to a wharf or beach. However, be sure you aren't in a scavenger-infested body of water. The body might just get eaten away!
