Leviathans High
A Leviathan will not chase you. It does not have to. Anything that gets close enough to matter is already too close.
Colossal creatures of the Leviathan Coast — slow, peaceful, and catastrophic if you pick a fight.
Danger Level
Leviathans are not aggressive, but they are enormous and hit with devastating force. A squad that provokes one and lingers in melee will be flattened.
Behaviour & Speed
Leviathans are slow and largely passive, roaming the forested Leviathan Coast. They become dangerous only when attacked or crowded.
Loot
Leviathans drop Leviathan Pearls — among the single most valuable items in the game — making a successful hunt extremely profitable.
Weaknesses & Counters
Their slowness is the key. Hunt them with ranged fire and hit-and-retreat tactics, never standing in melee. Whittle them down from range with an escape route open.
