First sub set of Leviathans!!
Depths, 100% the horrors of the deep
(Pardon the sketchy sketch.)
Horrifically huge. Darker blues, blacks, purples, even reds. Nearly no yellow. Teal or deep green accents are common. Longest and heaviest. Often has blubber. Rarely needs to eat. Most bioluminescent scales.
Naming patterns: Deep sea creatures/places, features of the ocean floor. Jellyfish, fish, squid/octopi, ect
Sea dragon fantribe((??) Honestly its gone wildly off the rails an i adore it)
Leviathans
Have a 'Cape' of thick scale/flipper like arm flap, off of a 3rd arm type appendage. Sometimes they have spines/sails/ armored plates. The cape helps them stay cool on land and be hidden from above. Scales are more skin like, a tight knit of small circular scales on blubber.
Largest lineage (wof tribe equivalent). Has several queens, some classify them as entirely separate lines.
Communication is through whale like song and flashing scales, not unlike sign language. Whale song is difficult to use on land and WILDLY loud. Also only really meant for long distances.
When 'talking' in lumen (flashing light sign language) its polite to swim at face to face height. Otherwise ur being rude no matter your size. On land this can translate to flying to be face to face height or laying down for the same effect.
me.
people can hate doom scrolling and yes yes sense. go wiggle your toes. clouds and sunshine are nice. rolling in grass and hoarding pebbles seems is joyful and these papers need to be folded or scribbled over. numbers and words are very productive i see.
but ,honestly the internet is so beautiful. its good to delve deep. find those oyesters.
goto go make origami for my rocks to look at.
From the depths of silence
Emerges the truth
An open heart
With an open mind
Cataracts tell stories
Beyond words
Profound and real
In a state of flux
