Everblues


Common Name: Everblue

Scientific Name: Leviathan novae

First Discovered: Off the coast of Hawaii
The Everblue are believed to be found through the Pacific Ocean. They are a hearty species that form large pods and can live in both the open waters and in coastal reef areas.

Size: An adult Everblue is roughly the size of a bottle-nose dolphin.

Food: Everblue consume fish, with favorites being tuna. They have also been known to eat shrimp, squid, and crab. They're not particularly picky.

Predators: Some few sharks, such as the Great Whites. Most sharks will not bother a healthy adult Everblue. Everblue have, in fact, been known to gang up as a pod and kill sharks themselves. The greatest threat to Everblue are more mundane, such as being cut up by boat motors or caught in drift nets.

Specific Notes: Everblue seem to have both gills and lungs. They can store oxygen in a air sac in their bodies, which the lungs can then breathe on land. However, once the air runs out, the lungs are not powerful enough to take in more. Everblues can survive roughly 24 hours on land before they risk running out of air and suffocating. Although Everblue do enjoy sunning on beaches they rarely go far on land, partially because of their limited air supply and partially because their land movements are basically the same as a fish flopping about.

Coraleaters


Common Name: Coraleater

Scientific Name: Leviathan locusta

First Discovered: Off the coast of Australia
Coraleaters can be found in any large coral reef system in tropical waters.
They live in small pods and are very dispersed.

Size: An adult coraleater measures about three feet from nose to tail fin.

Food: Despite the misleading name, Coreleaters do not actually consume coral itself. They do however feed on plants and animals living on the coral, such as anenomes, sea urchans, baranacles, crabs and small fish. This "grazing" appearence is what got Coraleaters their name.

Predators: The main predator of Coraleaters is not large animals, but small quick ones like baracuda or cookie-cutter sharks that take chuncks of flesh and running, leaving the Coraleater to bleed and attract larger predators.
Large sharks will scavenge greatly-wounded Coraleaters.

Specific Notes: Coraleaters secrete a powerful toxic from their chest fins. This deters almost all predators. It is impossible for Coraleaters to poison one another, although the poison will slow another Coraleater's wounds from healing.

This child depects adult Sea Serpent sizes, as compared to a human. A child Everblue an Coraleater are both half the size of their resepective adults. A child Deepsea Diver is as large as an adult Everblue.
