## Description

A small, long, somewhat pudgy wolf with a long, narrow face, thick limbs and a fish tail. His eyes are positioned on the side of his face and are cartoonishly large. He possesses messy orange-whitish fur, and glowing gills on the side of his neck. There are 2 largish humps over his shoulder, where they go into a second fin over his tail. His large, medium-length tail has glowing scales,  similarly to the glowing tendrils on his wrists and shin. His paws are wide, flat and soft, with prominent webbing. Over his muzzle are 2 feelers, and Leviathan has long, thin teeth. His forearms and back legs are scaly and hardened.

## Personality

A mostly gentle, goofy wolf with the mind and mental capacity of an 11-year old and the survivalist mentality of a professional. Finds it hard to make big decisions on his own, and has a very limited view on the world. Can easily become distracted, will eagerly show off what he is proud of, and perform his job with passion. The lad has rarely seen a bad day, however he evidently possesses a lack of self-awareness and identity. His limited intelligence makes him readily manipulable, and he can get mentally overwhelmed quite easily. He is aware of some of his origins, and thus operates with a slight feeling that he will eventually be “found out” and kicked out, or eaten like sushi, and thus he fights to keep himself on good terms with those around him. He often goes to talk with those in the lakes, although often to no response, either because they are not smart enough to talk, or because they don’t recognize him as a fish. He is very work and self-oriented, and thus finds it hard to make meaningful relationships with others if it interrupts his duty.

## Primary Elemental Abilities

* "End of evolution" (passive)
	+ A more defensive ability, Leviathan can take wounds sustained on the battlefield and use them to his advantage. If he was to sustain, say, a slash or a heavy burn wound, water will erupt from his body and cover the entirety of said wound, before freezing over. With whatever water he has left, he can turn said covering into multiple hardened spikes, or whatever else fits the battle at hand. In the meantime, the wound underneath will heal with incredible speed as blood flushes through to heat up the body part, and the spikes jutting from them will only melt under extreme heat, or once he stops pushing water to those extremities, since his body will not heat up those parts. If he chooses, he can push a bit more water through the wound that will send these frozen projectiles flying.
	+ In a drawback, due to Leviathan’s poor ability to sustain large amounts of temperature drops or rises,  he will not be able to sustain this ability for long before becoming lethargic and weakened. Additionally, this ability requires water, which can only be replenished during combat if it is currently raining.
* Water-lover
	+ At any point, Leviathan can cause water to secrete heavily from his paws and tail, creating a small, shallow puddle that he can use to move with striking speed, agility and maneuverability around the battlefield, wherever he goes (the thing Mizutsune does during his fight). This move similarly requires water, however Leviathan can soak the water back up if he moves over it. If enemies are standing in said body of water, Leviathan can release a small puff of chill to freeze over the body of water, causing the ice to stick to and weigh down his enemies, or in some situations, completely freeze their paws in place. The chill’s effect decreases in range, and will eventually melt, making them effective for temporary bondage during close-range situations.

## Non-Elemental Abilities

* When Leviathan was still crawling about, his body adapted the ability to release a noxious, rancid gas from his body that would make him smell like a long dead, rotting fish to passing predators and wolves. *He can still do that now,* and may release it instinctively if startled or otherwise scared.
* Has an accelerated rate of recovery from most injuries (as long as they are not immediately fatal).
* Under certain circumstances, can evolve body parts, regrow limbs, and adapt current extremities over time to fit his needs. (Won’t happen during a fight unless its a very minor change).
	+ Ex: If one of his eyes is torn out, he can temporarily evolve a primitive eye elsewhere until the removed one is replaced.
	+ If he needs to climb often, he can evolve stronger paws in about a week.
	+ On that note, if these adaptations are directly detrimental to another, pre-established function of his body, they will eventually fade if not in use.

## Strengths/Weaknesses

* Leviathan is an extremely good swimmer, arguably among the best in the kingdom for obvious reasons. He has a brilliant sense of smell and surrounding awareness, and can recover from illness, injury, and other afflictions with startling ease.
* Not being a full bred wolf, Leviathan is lacking in many areas. While he is ruthlessly fast in the water, he is somewhat clumsy on land, and thus, while capable of running on land, he is not particularly fast. As well, since he was originally cold-blooded, Leviathan has to consume lots of food to maintain his temperature, and is still vulnerable to changes to the weather. His eyes are still to the side of his head rather than binocular, so he has poor depth perception. He is not particularly powerful body-wise as well, and not very tanky. Leviathan’s intelligence abilities to plan leave much to be desired too.

## Trivia

* If you were to bite into him he would still taste like fish, although somewhat tough.
* Although his eyes are clearly sideways, Leviathan believes that his eyes look like everyone else's.
* He loves to collect sparkly objects during his scouting expeditions and store them in the spot that he lived in after emerging from the lake.
* Leviathan is based off of the Brown Bullhead catfish.
* He hates worms and other insects, since they remind him of his hardships evolving into a wolf, although he will eat them if necessary.
* He finds raw meat disgusting, but puts up with it to not stand out.
* Although he can't remember why, he is fearful of large, tall blue wolves.
* He has eyelids, but they are just extremely hard to see when his eyes are open, and he rarely uses them. He is only capable of blinking.
* If they are bitten, most of the glowing spots on his body (namely his tail and wrists) are somewhat poisonous.
