Behemoths
A Behemoth does not notice you. To something that large and that old, your whole squad is weather.
Colossal, ancient creatures that wander the wastes — relics of a different scale of life.
Overview
Behemoths are enormous, slow, ancient creatures roaming parts of the wasteland — among the largest living things in Kenshi.
Behaviour
Behemoths are generally peaceful and pay travellers little mind, plodding across the landscape on their own ancient routes.
Place In The World
They function as living scenery and atmosphere — a reminder that the wasteland holds older, stranger life than the factions warring over it.
Why It Matters
Behemoths reinforce Kenshi's sense of deep time and scale — the world is far larger and older than any one squad's story.
