This may be one of the most 'normal' leviathans out in the oceans, but with a distinct caveat: those elongated mandibular projections channel acidic fluid that will easily eat away the hull of a sailing ship or a sailor's paw. The 'Gunks' are still considered good for consumption, and are a pricier catch than a Dart or a Gnasher, partly due to their long, plate-less bodies filled with easily carved and delicate flesh. Be wary of the acid glands, and you will be guaranteed a meal and a ship to sail back with.

Definitely inspired by Arowanas, Archerfish, Blenny-like fish (Ocean Pout, Wolffish), and a bit of Oarfish.

Poly count of about 840, so this guy is a bit blockier than the others.
