The Elder Shark – Leviathan of Quorenderi

The Elder Shark – Leviathan of Quorenderi

Aberration

Surging from the abyssal depths upon a tide of writhing tentacles, this monstrous apex predator combines the jagged maw of a prehistoric leviathan with alien appendages. Its armored dorsal ridge and cavernous, needle-lined jaw project immense terror across the battlefield, commanding immediate respect as an aquatic dreadnought. Whether rising to batter a fragile vessel or defending an underwater sanctuary, it delivers a crushing centerpiece encounter for any maritime journey.

Tabletop Lore

Veiled from the sight of the ocean guardians by sinister dark powers, the Elder Shark patrols the treacherous coastal waters near Westlook. Spawned to serve malevolent deep deities, this colossal aberration possesses the strength to rival ancient sea titans while remaining hidden from protective watch. Kept as an instrument of destruction, the beast drags passing ships beneath the waves or drives battered survivors ashore directly into the grasp of waiting coastal cultists.

Highlight

The defining strength of this Artifact lies in the fluid, multi-layered cluster of grasping tentacles that erupt beneath its scarred, predatory head, creating an imposing profile that anchors high-stakes naval and aquatic showdowns.
