Sea Wyrms

Also known as Sea Serpents, Sea Wyrms are a species of massive serpentine creatures found within the deepest reaches of Taevas oceans. Believed to be related to Dragons, these creatures are believed to be some of the oldest living things in the oceans, and rule their depths as apex predators. While the Sea Wyrms prefer to remain deep below the ocean surface, those few who rarely venture closer to the surface pose extreme danger to any vessels that cross their path, and are one of the biggest reasons sailors fear travelling across the deeper, more open oceans of the world.
