Behemoth

Behemoths resemble large Sperm Whales with the addition of a huge horn jutting from its blunt snout and sharp sword-like teeth.^[1][3b]

They use their horn to impale prey which they then drag off to their lair to devour it.^[1] Often the only warning a ship will get is a flicker of movement in the water before the great horn bursts through the hull of the ship and the beast begins to feast. ^[3b]

Quotes

We have sailed these seas since before Man looked upon the waves, but before even we took to the waters, there was Behemoth and its kin. The sea monsters were the lords of all the world in those days, when land was but a dream of [[Asuryan's. They fought titanic battles on a scale we will never see again, churning entire oceans to foam as they tussled. Now, short-lived fools take pot shots at the Behemoth with harpoons for sport. Once, he was lord of all, and now he is your target practice? What will you do should you ever succeed in hunting his great beast? Eat him? There is a legend that if the flesh of the Behemoth is ever tasted by mortals, the world will end. I pray it does not come to pass. ~ Nenyll, Elf Sea Captain. [3a]
