“This is a massive 60m+ leviathan that appears to be the odd convergence of several evolutionary offshoots.”

About the Shadow Leviathan

The Shadow Leviathan is filed under leviathans in the game's databank. 4 are placed by hand.

The files do not say how it behaves or what it can do to the player, so this page carries only the studio's databank text above. Depths are metres below sea level; coordinates are the game's world metres, x east and z north.

Placed pins are read as placed.
