Description
An astral leviathan is an immense creature found exclusively in the abysal sea and astral spaceways that acts as a force of nature, devouring ships and materials floating loose in the voids of space. When called forth, a leviathan appears from blackness of the abyss or astral space resembling an octopus, a swirling gargantuan mass of tentacles with a gaping maw at the centre that resembles a black hole surrounded by small glowing teeth. Its natural ability to survive in the nothingness of space and the abyssal sea extends to its attacks which draw the very lifeforce from those it contacts
When at rest the leviathan is indistinguishable from the void around it but once it becomes active it outline is clearly visable until it remains motionless in its new location.
An ambush hunter at best these creatures are ofter content to float the laneways of space and prey on those that come to close or attempt to investigate the strange astral phenomena that its maw appears to be when viewed at a distance
