Omegai

Omegai are Leviathans.

Physiology
Omegai are huge serpentine Leviathans with a different build from Lagiacrus and Agnaktor. Their front legs are long, muscular, and tipped with prehensile hands. Their heads are topped with a visor-like projection of shell. They have a huge black parrot-like beak. Their eyes are squid-like and very large. Their midsection is encased in a nautilus's spiral shell. Their backs are covered in numerous gigantic black spikes and beige armor plating. Their hind legs are small and unremarkable. Their tail resembles a whale's.

Ecology
Omegai exist at the top of the temperate aquatic food chain, only rivaled by Lagiacrus and Ceadeus. In polar waters, they are the true rulers of the sea. Omegai distinguish themselves from their competitors by using tools to hunt prey. Most tools are just big rocks they use to crack the shells of giant Carpaceons, but sometimes they use tapered rocks to pry open giant clams or force prey out of the sand.

On land, they are a little more awkward due to their armored bellies, but are still highly capable. They are known to grab anything in reach to use as a projectile or a bludgeon, be it a fallen tree trunk, a big rock, a monster's corpse, or even a Hunter. Their huge beaks can snap bones with ease and their massively strong arms can break someone's spine. Their main weakness is their lack of specialization compared to other predators.

Omegai undergo elaborate and violent mating rituals that frequently involve beating each other up with rocks or tree trunks. The purpose of this brutal trial is to prove they are strong enough to pass on their genes. Young are incubated internally in the female and are born live in large numbers. Their fecundity makes them a long-standing fertility symbol, and parts from Omegai are said to bring fortune and health to expectant mothers. (Popular perception has turned against this in recent years due to overhunting of Omegai for said parts.)

Behavior
Omegai are some of the most intelligent Leviathans despite their somewhat goofy appearance. Their usage of tools is an obvious sign of their intelligence. They are crafty and are known to toy with fishermen. In battle, they continually monitor the threat and adjust to their fighting style.

Abilities
As mentioned earlier, Omegai use various improvised objects to fight. These range from large rocks to long blunt objects to thin tree trunks. They also use basic water attacks, ranging from simple water bombs to a large beam. Their back spikes emit a strong poison.

Habitat
Omegai inhabit coastal areas and open oceans, and occasionally have been sighted in polar seas.
