Dark Tidewyrm

"With great horror I watched the rage of this creature tear not cities apart but mountains, as if the Tidemistress herself had spawned this creature to show us mortals our place." - Vosh'tani Writings

Of the many creatures deep within the oceans of Te'za, the massive Tidewyrm is of no exception for how large and powerful the creatures of the deep can grow towards. These beasts can encompass huge swaths of the ocean as their hunting ground, leaving not much for other predators, or in turn making them the meal. Many smaller species that feed off the kills follow this creature like parasites.
