Description The wohnsel are massive aquatic beasts that can be found on planets with very large bodies of water. These behemoth-sized beasts are so large they make blue whales look like tiny goldfish next to them. These animals are slow swimmers, gliding through the ocean without a care in the world. The wohnsel can live to be hundreds of years old, some are so old that they have entire coral reefs and ecosystems growing on their backs and bellies. The wohnsels are gentle giants as long as they're not feeding. When feeding they spread apart their lower jaw and inhale anything they can catch. They usually target fish, but sometimes humans get sucked up that are too close or ships sailing by. Sailors avoid feeding wohnsel in fear of them swallowing and eating their ship and crew. They are able to tell when the wonsel is about to feed by keeping an eye out for the wohnsels massive fins. When a wohnsel feeds, mates, or puts on a display for territory they spread out their long fins and tail fins that trail like long sheets behind them. So when they have their fins on display sailors get as far away from them as possible in fear of them getting ready to feed. Not much else is known about these massive creatures.

Here's the silhouettes, color schemes, and size chart I made before creating the final creature design. I figured I'd share how I came up with this creature, enjoy!

The island-monsters have a long tradition, but these are surely among the best concepts

Do natives tame them and use them as ferries?

I didn't really think about that, very excellent idea! I can see people riding them, as long as you're not in their way while feeding they are very docile.

Then I shall get a fleet of them and call them the Fleet of Moving Islands. I will name them all after a popular or important island except for one, which I will call squishy, an it will be mine.
