Squalor Whales

While not the most intimidating in terms of body shapes in terms of sea monsters, these creatures, and their mirrored sub-species, embody a large breed of creature of strength within the oceans. Some hold sharp tusks or fangs at the front for protection or even biting to eat, while others hold sharp spines on their back or rows of teeth themselves. Ranging from Galecutter Whales to Fathomstalkers, this family of creatures prowls the deeps in all range of environments.
