Leviathan

This page describes the legendary sea serpent. For the Elder Elemental Leviathan, see Leviathan (Elemental).

Description
The Leviathan was an enormous sea serpent, so vast that its coils could extend around the entire world. Its head is the size of a small kingdom and the spines and ridges of its back are hills, mountains, and islands. Having slumbered for untold millennia, the Leviathan's chaotic dreams spawn monstrous creatures, including smaller sea monsters, chaotic aberrations, and the dreaded aspects of the Leviathan, fragments of the Leviathan's power that share their creator's form, albeit far smaller. The Leviathan is no more intelligent than an animal, although, because of its enormous size and power and its chaotic nature, if it ever were to awaken, it would mean the utter destruction of the world and everything in it.

History
The Leviathan was spawned at the dawn of the universe by the raw and undiluted chaos of creation. Having fallen into an eternal slumber, the Leviathan was mostly forgotten, save for its mention in some Draconic creation myths. Over the years, its restless motions provoked earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes and other catastrophes and its momentary stirrings manifest as waves of chaotic energy such as the one that created the Verdan.

Followers
Many deranged humanoids, as well as Ixitxachitl cultists sought to awaken the Leviathan for their own insane purposes. Also many Slaadi were drawn to the Leviathan by its untamed chaotic nature.
