Leviathan

Adversaries Designed by Chapo the Dog

Adversary overview

Nearly 100ft long and large enough to swallow a man whole, this creature looks like a combination of an eel, barracuda, and crocodile. It has two sets of eyes atop its head, all glowing a bloody red.

As it opens its maw, its lower jaw splits down the middle and it emits a horrifying roar.

Designed for my campaign to be paired with the Underwater Maze environment.
