Grimm Title: Cetus

Animal Basis: Plesiosaur, Humpback whale, Komodo Dragon, and Platypus

Threat Level: Extremely Dangerous above high-ranking huntsmen and huntress skill

Appearance: A beast as dark as the ocean itself. The Cetus is a Grimm like no other. It has a gigantic head despite its streamline snake like neck, gigantic well armored body that stretches over a two hundred feet in length and ends with a massive fluke. It has specialized frontal fins that can works as propellers through the water, but in combat they morph into massive webbed hands armed with menacing talons.

Average size seen:

Length (Head to Tail: 200 ft; rare records showing individuals at 300 ft Width (Right fin to Left fin): 100 feet

Attack(s):

Whirlwind: In water or on the surface the Cetus can drag its enemies by engulfing the air with its massive jaws and trapping them inside forever.

Sonic Roar: A devistating attack that can kill hunter or huntress (without proper protection) in one mile radius, cause unconsciousness in a two mile radius, and dizziness in a three mile radius.

Tsunami: Because it live in the water the Cetus uses its enormous body to cause gigantic waves with devastating accuracy upon its opponents

Behaviour: Being nearly indestructible the Cetus has very little to fear, so these Grimm have no restraint in attacking anyone or anything that comes within range of their habitat. Often times they have been seen come to the shore to attack unsuspecting victims.

Interestingly enough they have a particular hatred for the Mistral kingdom as they are seen attacking the city's boarders any chance they get. Testing their defense before disappearing beneath the waves.

Armoring(s): Cetus have an incredible amount of armor covering their body. With most of it covering their head, neck, upper back, and tail, but thick layers of blubber like matter protects their belly and chest with three specific armored spots covering the heart and key vital organs.

Strength(s): Cetus are the strongest Grimm ever recorded in history. Able to actually knock down the walls of kingdoms like they are made of sand, leap out of the water to drag massive airships down, and even been known to drag their massive bodies across land for miles without tiring.

Weakness(es): With so much armor, power, and intellect it is practically suicide to for one huntsman or huntress to attack these Grimm alone. Even the combined might of fifty of the most skilled huntsmen and huntresses would only serve anger a Cetus. However there have been legends and stories of people who have claimed to have found their weakness. Here are the three most notable ones.

1) Neck: It is heavily armored, but depending upon size, power, and deliverance a weapon could break through the armor as it needs to be flexible for the Cetus to move around fluidly.

2) Mouth: Under a strange tale once told that a huntsman flew willingly into a Cetus's mouth during a whirlwind. Inside he was able to shot up through the creature's head and detonate an explosive round killing the Cetus. While the tale has not been proven fact it is possible that the Cetus's greatest weapon might have a weak point to exploit.

3) Belly: Though the Grimm is heavily armored in critical parts on its underside the rest of the body is exposed. In combat airships if they get a lucky opening concentrate their firepower their. Unfortunately, this mainly serves to weaken a Cetus where upon it will retreat and heal to fight another day.

Variants:

The White Cetus: One individual, no record of this Grimm attacking. Described as all white with blue eyes.

Additional Notes: There is no factual record of anyone successful killing of a Cetus. Cetus are typically solitary Grimm, but there are times when these Grimm will come together to form a pod. When this happens the giants will always launch an attack on a settlement near the ocean or sea, and rarely do they fail in destroying their intended target. Another note is that the largest individual “The White Cetus” is estimated to be five hundred feet long.
