Leviathans are made from the join efforts of engineer, orgneers, psiolic, and shapeshifters colluding to, over the course of months or years, transform the shapeshifter into a gargantuan creature which can hold inside of itself an entire crew of up up to hundreds or thousands. The are frequently used in the field of battle, and are on of the Haimarchy's hardest-hitting units.
Most are constructed to be omniphibious—able to swim, dig, run, fly, and transverse into space.
The sky crackled with energy as the massive feathered serpent descended, dreamlike, through the atmosphere. Even though it was still so far from us that the haze made it look unreal, its very presence charged the air with static and kicked up a wind. Metal and gemstone scales arced with electricity, drawing storm clouds around its slithering form.
I looked back at the platoon behind me, decided there wasn't a chance in hell, and took advantage of the confusion to edge away from the rest before making a break for the treeline.
As I ran, the ground began to tremble, and I knew the levithan's arrival marked the end of days for this little moon.
Storm
Eternally in flight, carried atop the world-shaping stormsthey create with their passing. Not to be confused with Atmospherancy Towers, though they fulfill the same purpose.
Druidic
Druidic Leviathans are meant to settle into an area and cultivate it, and are the most likely to be found fully rooted into their environs, tending to the bounds and heart of a watershed.
Pelagic
Akin to a Druidic, these Leviathans are used by Pelagic states as a means to make oceanic life viable. Inhabitants live within the hives formed by their bones, drinking the waters.
Cosmic
Made to carry a large crew and colonists, these Leviathans tend to be the largest, and require incredible amounts of energy and effort to move. They typically remain in space. It's a lonely life.
Shamei
Used outside of the Haimarchy. More machine than entity, more golem than leviathan, but still with a Soluma synced with its pilot and with a mixture of technologies comprising it.
