Description:
	The leviathan is an almost unimaginably immense whale, 500 to 1000 feet
	long. It is the lord of all whales and the intermediary between ceta-
	ceans and the gods. Under normal conditions, only one leviathan dwells
	in each ocean. The leviathan is not always active. It may hibernate for
	years on the ocean floor. During these long sleeps, the leviathan is
	attended and protected by its entourage of other whales. The leviathan
	awakens if summoned by the needs of other whales or in answer to a di-
	vine request.

Combat:
	Leviathans are awesome foes with a variety of attacks. Apart from their
	bite and tail blows a leviathan is capable of swallowing a target up to
	80 feet long. When attacking a mass of surface vessels, the leviathan
	creates a powerful wave by swimming deep, rushing to the surface, and
	leaping halfway out of the water. Tehe resulting wave causes every ship
	within 500 feet to sink.

Habitat/Society:
	Once each century, leviathans gather in arctic waters to confer and
	mate. This gathering lasts six months. Each leviathan is attended by
	several giant whales and masses of whales of other species.

Ecology:
	The stomach of a leviathan contains air pockets that are capable of
	sustaining a victim until he escapes or is digested. The stomach may
	also contain undigested possession of previous meals or even sea
	vessels.
