Basilosaurus
Basilosaurus
(Creature)
Basilosauruses are a species of primeval whale.1
Appearance
A basilosaurus resembles a greatly elongated whale measuring 60 feet, but with long, toothed alligator-like jaws. Inexperienced observers often confuse a basilosaurus with a sea serpent or water orm.1
Ecology
Basilosauruses locate prey with echolocation and vision, but sometimes mistake smaller ships for food. Basilosauruses are apex predators: a fully-grown one is only threatened by supernatural monsters like krakens, thalassic behemoths, and the largest sea serpents.1
On Golarion
Basilosauruses are one of many large predators that live in the Antarkos Ocean's depths.2 Whalers of the Embaral Ocean report sightings of basilosauruses, though only rarely.3
