Talorian Leviathan

Created by Cascade with Ignacio's aid in the year 1701-02. The Talorian Leviathan is both a gift and a reckoning for Cascade's people. One of Hireath's largest wyverns, the leviathan dominates the tropical oceans surrounding Aquore. Due to this wyvern's reclusive, passive nature, they have not been widely studied—and have only just been discovered by the Talorian people.

Life Cycle
Grows to full size rather slowly, since it starts out large already. A Leviathan egg is about the size of a horse, and a hatchling the size and weight of a small elephant. Once reaching adulthood, a Leviathan can only mate once. They are solitary in nature and, even after a coupling, refrain from creating family units of any sort.

A Leviathan will often bury its egg in the sea floor and leave it on its own. And so, the cycle continues.

Biology

 * Diet consists of large sea-life such as sharks and whales. If a Leviathan has been commanded into a river, it may choose to eat land mammals, such as cows, elephants, or otherwise, that stray too close to the water's edge.
 * Sensitive to light—prefers deep water.
 * Passive and apathetic. A Leviathan lives and acts for itself. Even when bonded, it is known to be slow to action.
 * Breath composed of one of either boiling water, standard seawater, or frigid water.
 * Has an interior glow much like magma.
 * "Wings" are semi-translucent and only used for gliding underwater. The Leviathan is flightless.
 * The Leviathan cannot survive outside of the water. It, much like whales, cannot support its weight against gravity. A beached Leviathan is a dead one.
 * Like all wyverns, they create a telepathic link with their bonded equine and are naturally sentient.

Abilities
The Leviathan's wyvern ability lies, of course, in its breaths. Of which, it has three. The Leviathan will be born utilizing either a boiling water breath, a standard seawater breath, or a freezing water breath. Often times, these breaths are based off of the water temperature around where the egg was laid or off of a leviathan's specific personality.

Boiling Breaths

 * Tends to reflect a temperament that is warm, gentle, and passive.
 * Egg likely laid near a volcanic vent.
 * Temperature is enough to cause severe burns. Passivity of the wyvern makes so that it rarely attacks unless commanded.

Seawater Breaths

 * Tends to reflect a temperament that is middle of the road. Apathetic and neutral. Likely to be the most responsive to a bond.
 * Egg likely laid in water that is neither especially deep, nor near a volcanic vent.
 * Temperature is like typical seawater.

Freezing Breaths

 * Tends to reflect a temperament that is cold, apathetic, and stubborn.
 * Egg was likely laid at a deeper depth of water and far from volcanic vents.
 * Temperature is just below actual freezing. Can cause hypothermia if repeatedly exposed.
