The Dragon of the Abyss.

The Leviathan - also known as the Dragon of the Abyss - is a legendary sea creature that lives within the Zomorah Abyssal of the Eastern (Patronic) Ocean.

When the Abyssal was first sounded by a high elven ship whose name the great depths now carry, ships would sail over the region with little cause for concern. Almost twenty years after, however, in the year 490 ofthe great beast was sighted for the first time when it attacked a pair of ships that were scouting the region. It is said to have the features and physical appearance of an immense sea serpent but with the head of a dragon. Its head and body have several long, shimmering fins of a translucent reddish-blue coloration.

No one is certain of the origins of the creature, but a widely held theory is that it is likely a Precursor creation, crafted for a specific - though unknown - purpose. Some say it was created by the Precursors to safeguard the great city Ionorath, which is rumored to sit at the bottom of the Abyssal after being left there by its builders when they left Arginium. To date, it is also believed that this is the only extant creature of this type, as no other sightings have ever been made beyond the Abyssal.
