Leviathans

**Leviathans** were the first creatures God created to populate the Earth -- an ancient species predating most other beings, including the vast majority of angels. Leviathans were too destructive, too hungry, and thus life could not thrive where they existed. As such, God cast them into Purgatory -- giving them an afterlife full of the souls of monsters to devour instead.

Leviathan blossoms will bloom from the remains of Leviathans -- this was one of the primary ingredients required for the spell to bind the Darkness.

## Powers & Abilities

* Enhanced Senses - leviathans have extremely precise senses of smell and touch, able to perfectly measure the temperature of the air around them.
* Flight - in their true form -- essentially balls of black goo -- leviathans are capable of limited flight.
* Invulnerability - leviathans are almost impervious to damage.
* Longevity - it is unclear how long leviathans will live for, they are possibly immortal.
* Leviathan Possession - leviathans are capable of taking over another biological organism as their host. The process is permanent. Multiple leviathans are capable of sharing a single host. If the host is already possessed by another entity, such as a demon, the leviathans will kill the demon without exorcising it and gain control of the vessel.
* Power Negation - the mere presence of a leviathan will negate the powers of angels.
* Regeneration - leviathans can heal rapidly from any sort of wound, including decapitation.
* Shapeshifting - after coming into contact with even a small sample of genetic material, a leviathan in a host vessel can shapeshift into the form of whatever organism the DNA sample came from.
	+ Voice Mimicry - a shapeshifted leviathan can perfectly mimic the voice of the entity they were imitating.
* Superhuman Strength - leviathans are significantly physically stronger than humans, even in peak physical condition.
* Teeth & Jaws - leviathans have gaping maws with a vice-like grip that can rip apart even powerful angels and other leviathans. Their teeth are able to cut through almost anything.
* Superhuman Intelligence - leviathans are incredibly smart and adaptable.
* Superhuman Stamina - leviathans do not require sleep or rest, and though they do hunger they cannot starve to death.
* Superhuman Speed - leviathans move rapidly enough to outpace humans in peak physical condition.
* Superhuman Agility - leviathans are able to leap incredibly high and have remarkably quick reflexes.
* Supernatural Concealment - leviathans can hide their presence from angels.
* Venomous Blood - the blood leviathans is incredibly deadly, and leviathans are able to inject it into other beings.

## Weaknesses

* Magic - some spells, particularly in witchcraft, can effect a leviathan.
* Rigid Hierarchy - leviathans are bound by a very strict hierarchy, and killing their leadership will leave them disorganized.
* Borax - the chemical borax burns leviathans.
* Ghosts - particularly strong ghosts can overpower leviathans. Leviathans are not able to see ghosts.
* Former Hosts - although this is only possible should a former host of a leviathan be resurrected, they will be able to see and recognize leviathans even in host vessels.
* Decapitation - although decapitation could not kill a leviathan, separating the head from the body would incapacitate a leviathan for as long as they were kept apart.
* Purgatory - leviathans can be permanently killed in Purgatory.
* Cannibalism - leviathans can kill each other by devouring one another.
* Bone of the Righteous Washed in the Three Bloods of the Fallen - this arcane weapon could be created and used to permanently kill a leviathan.
* God - God could kill a leviathan and was capable of imprisoning the entire species in Purgatory.
* Death & Death's Scythe - Death could kill any living being.
