Leviathan hatchlings usually remain underwater, exploring the depths and bothering the krakens. Every so often, though, young leviathans become adventurous and come to the surface. If they're feeling particularly rambunctious, they may even approach ships, though they flee if anyone sees them. Though leviathans vary widely in color, their colors do allow them to easily blend in with their surroundings, making them difficult to find. They are also extremely fast, and racing with great speed is one of their favored games.
These creatures are usually only found far from shore, in oceans or seas. It's quite the sight to see a leviathan rise from the water, greater in size than any boat. It's still a common myth that sailors who never returned have been dragged to their deaths by leviathans. Should anyone harm the sea in any way, leviathans will take their revenge. For them, capsizing a boat is as simple as breaking a twig. For this reason, people embarking on long journeys across the sea often carry tokens of good luck, and a spell of protection if they can manage it. This is largely unnecessary, for leviathans prefer their own company, and rarely rise to the surface. It is not easy to anger them, though the easiest way is disturbing the areas where their young are. It's more common to see young leviathans, as they are curious about land, and more likely to surface. At the slightest sign of life, though, they dive back beneath the waves. Leviathans can move with great speed, as they have webbed appendages and long serpentine tails. They are most likely to appear to those who have great love for the sea, or magi intent on protecting the ocean.
