   The Atomic Leviathan, also know as "M.O.L.O.C.H." is a leviathan or a hybrid marine reptile affected by atomic energy, serving as the final boss and main antagonist of the Truth Quest DLC.

## Characteristics

Measuring an estimated 30 m (100 ft) long, the Atomic Leviathan is an extraordinary predator. At Level 100, it's the largest and most powerful of all creatures in Port Clovis and 40 times bigger and stronger than the largest Apex in The Gulf, the Apex Sperm Whale, as well the Irradiated Bone Sperm Whale. It has the head of a crocodile, the body of a *Mosasaurus*, and the dorsal spines and atomic energy of Godzilla. Like Godzilla, the Leviathan has the ability to fire an atomic breath, radiating anything its path. The atomic breath has a deadly combination of ebola, anthrax, and Lassa fever. If not contained, the lethal substance would infect the entire world from Port Clovis, though the Leviathan itself does have a vaccine to stop the deadly diseases. The breath can also be used to summon other Irradiated creatures for reinforcements in combat. The Leviathan also has decent armor which can be regenerated if it breaks. This makes the Atomic Leviathan even harder to fight than the Apex Sperm Whale.

Based on its looks, the Atomic Leviathan is based on the Jurassic World *Mosasaurus* with some features similar to Godzilla because of the dorsal spines and atomic breath. This makes the Atomic Leviathan, definitely the coolest creature in the game. The massive animal could probably take over the sea with its massive jaws and radioactive powers it could produce a beam of green atomic power.

## History

### Life in Plover Island and escape to Port Clovis

The Atomic Leviathan, or M.O.L.O.C.H., lived in the waters off Plover Island, which is home to an advanced Military Complex by NWO. The Atomic Leviathan was created in the laboratories of NWO where it's combined with Crocodile (presumably) and other animals DNA making it look like a massive Mosasaurus with Atomic Powers. The atomic powers give the Leviathan the ability to let out an atomic breath similar to Godzilla and radiate anything in its path. The Atomic Breath and roar also makes it a beacon to alert other Irradiated creatures to come and assists the Leviathan when in combat making the odds uneven. The Leviathan is kept in a special tank that is impenetrable and hard to escape. However, after the MEGA Bull Shark destroyed the communications tower powering the force field, the Leviathan escaped its tank and swam to Port Clovis to begin its radiation attack.

Before being freed by the MEGA Bull Shark at Plover Island, Trip Westhaven mention that the Atomic Leviathan was captured by the NWO which is highly possible that the creature must've escape from Site P for the first time before the NWO caught it, after the MEGA Bull Shark follow the radioactive trail and destroyed the NWO Medium Skiff covering the trail. It's also highly possible that the Atomic Leviathan had a mind of its own, so the NWO try to mind control it, but unfortunately, it's possible that this thing was highly aggressive and wanted to break free and started to irradiate the entire world which is what NWO wanted, except the fact that it had gone out of control so the NWO is probably trying to contain the situation and not letting civilians to know this as many saw it, while others listening to Westhaven's broadcast of Truth Quest about what's happening in Port Clovis, which they lead the shark right into its trail. No doubt but it's trying to cause massive damage while running away from either the NWO or the MEGA Bull Shark, spreading radiation. And since it was captured by the NWO and brought back to the Plover Island Complex, its food was mainly sharks which included great whites and hammerheads when the MEGA Bull Shark killed them, meaning the NWO that had to captured the sharks and feed it to the Leviathan.

### Fight against the Atomic MEGA Bull Shark

After completing every objective and investigating the sites left by the Leviathan, the MEGA Shark, full equipped with the Atomic Set, heads out to area in The Gulf, where the Leviathan is when the last objective "Alpha Wave" pops up. It's highly possible that the Atomic Leviathan itself know it's being tailed by the Atomic MEGA Bull Shark, so it would set up its last and final stand against her before irradiating the entire world next. Upon entering the area, a cutscene plays with the Leviathan swimming towards the player poison cloud and reveals its mouth with the atomic energy in a freeze frame as Trip Westhaven says, **"*The Beast of the Bottomless Pit... M.O.L.O.C.H!*"** and Leviathan swims out of view as the cutscene ends.

After the cutscene, the fight between the Atomic MEGA shark and Atomic Leviathan begins. The shark will have to be careful in the fight as the Leviathan's attacks will Irradiate her if she's not moving. This can be avoided by evading until the Leviathan's breath runs out. Any dislodged spins the Leviathan unleashes when trying to whip the shark can be grabbed and sent back flying at it. There are three spines in to total and the shark will have to grab throw back fast before the spines explode. After the shark evades the Leviathan's attacks and grabbing three more spines to send flying back, the armor on the Leviathan breaks and the shark unleashes her own atomic breath on the Mosasaur, draining its health to half empty. The shark must be quick to drain the Mosasaur's health to half empty or else the armor will regenerate, giving the shark extra time to break it again. With it's health half empty, a cutscene plays with the Leviathan uses it's summoning roar to summon reinforcements which include the Irradiated Electric Great White, the Irradiated Shadow Orca, and the Irradiated Bone Sperm Whale as Trip Westhaven says, **"*Everything is energy, even physical matter, so maybe if we all focus our minds on the destruction of this unholy weapon, it will happen.*"** and the cutscene ends. The fight resumes and the odds are now uneven as the shark will have to fight the Leviathan but also avoid the resurrected Irradiated Apex Predators(Unless it could be optional to kill them). The shark doesn't have to kill them again as the main objective is to defeat the Leviathan, they can be poss as threats so it can either that MEGA Shark kill them first while the Leviathan is still on her tail, while others struggling to catch up with her, except the Irradiated Electric Great White who can at least catch up before losing sight of the MEGA Shark. After avoiding/finally killing the irradiated predators, throwing back more dislodged spines, and using her own atomic breath, the MEGA Shark defeats the Leviathan as its body floats in the water, and the shark's apex status is kept intact.

After the fight, a final cutscene plays with Trip Westhaven finishing narrating his Truth Quest story as the body the armor-less Leviathan floats up to the surface as the shark swims away in victory, leaving it as the cure came to Port Clovis. The scene then cuts to the inside of Trip's house as he talks about what happened during his last Truth Quest broadcast including a psychotic break, family intervention, and filing for divorce. After the divorce, Trip had the time to dedicate himself to his true calling, finding out more of Truth Quest as they're still some unanswered information out there. The cutscene ends with the Military Complex exploding and the Maneater Truth Logo appearing one last time. After the cutscene, the shark bites the leviathan's body one last time, turning it into meat chunks and consumes them, restoring the shark's status as the ultimate Apex Predator.
