Basic Information

Anatomy

Biowhales grow to sizes of up to 20 meters. Their main body is a torpedo shaped mass, with a number of extended feeding tentacles on each end that allow it to quickly change direction when moving, with a feeding beak in the center of each tentacle cluster. They feed upon small introduced plankton and fish species also created for the deep, crushing pressure of Libertas's waters.
