Emperor of the Ocean

## **The Emperor of The Ocean**

Creature known as The Emperor of The Ocean is a giant crustitian measuring over 200 meters in width. It's actual size is still debated on among Greavesoyl zoologists, with some of them not believing that the emperor actually exists due to only 3 documented sightings of the creature, all of which being reported by kraken hunters. The beast's shell is composed of multiple shipwrecks, out of some were identified as kraken hunting ships which went missing between 100 to 300 years ago.

The Emperor is carnivorous apex predator of the abyssal depths of the ocean. Due to it's size it can effortlessly hunt anything what lives in the sea, including giant whales and even krakens.

## **Story**

According to history books recovered from abandoned cities, before the fall of Nekaru the leader of human empire used the title of The Emperor. While nowadays, the leader from Seru is known as The King, word "emperor" still found it's use. By a group least connected to the rulers of Greavesoyl - sailors.

There are many sea shanties, with some of them even pre-dating founding of Seru. Songs about long dead capitans, adventures, myths and beasts of the ocean. Few of the oldest songs mention a creature so large that it devours krakens, so giant that when it moves the seafloor shakes, and the worst part being that, according to those who claimed to see it, is not just an old legend. To date only 3 crews encountered the creature and lived to tell the tale. The first one mistook it's shell as an island and tried to land on it, waking it up. Second crew almost lost their ship as the beast attacked it, and had to throw it a kraken then killed so it would leave them. Third encounter happened when a crew of kraken hunters wanted to wait out the night on a small island. As they explored it, they found a wreck of a ship that famously went missing few years before. They went aboard in hopes to find any clues about what happened to the ship, oblivious to what was hiding just below them. Those who stayed on land were the first people in history to withness the true size of this legendary sea monster then only knew from songs and tales, as it rose up from shallow waters and slowly crawled into the depths.

According to old sailor legends, there is one beast who dominates the abyss. While the legends often contradict each other and the known history, most sailors believe that the giant kraken-eating crab is the ruler of the depths and that's how it got named The Emperor of The Ocean.

Little did they know that even The Emperor bows to something... wrong. Alien. *Eldritch*.

## **In-game**

The Emperor is a powerful, skirmish-oriented juggernaut armed with powerful AOE knockup which can devastate groups of enemies trapped in chokepoints. Unlike other tanks, Emperor performs decently in duels too, thanks to his boosted initial durability and sustain in form of crashing pincers. Not purely offensive nor purely defensive, Emperor of the Ocean offers a bit of both, and fits nicely in almost any team composition.
