What the Iram Maris would look like.
"Whoa! That's one big Grimm!" -Aqua after watching the Iram Maris emerge
Appearance[]
The Iram Maris is an S-Class Aquatic Grimm that resembles the appearance of a Leviathan a type of sea serpent that's a sort of sea dragon. It posseses four tentacle like limbs from it's body which can be used to help it swim through Remnant's oceans as well as hold down prey, it's skin is white at the top which heavily armored along with a majority of it's head, and black at the bottom which has no armor, the tips of it's four tentacles are also armored but the rest of the tentacle as well as it's entire tail are not armored. If the creature were to be measured from it's nose to it's tail it measure around 90 meters long, and weigh over 500 tons!
Abilities[]
Travel[]
The Iram Maris although aquatic in nature can also travel on land using it's powerful tentacles to walk or it's belly to slither along the surface like a snake. However the Iram Maris becomes rather sluggish on land in contrast to being in the water due to it's size as well as being an aquatic creature. However seldom will it ever travel on land, as it would be too vulnerable on land, instead it usually travels and hunts by sea using it's tentacle to help propel itself through the water.
Attacks[]
The Iram Maris's form of attacks is it's powerful tentacles, it's fire breath, and it's deadly bite. The Iram Maris can use it's powerful tentacles to not only hold down it's prey to but to strike it with great and terrifying force as well as crush it's prey within it's mighty grip. The Iram Maris can also breath out fire which is only effective when it is at the surface, while under water this attack is useless. The Iram Maris can also concentrate it's fire breat to create flame shot, a molten ball of fire which can melt through metal like lava. The bite force of the Iram Maris is also something to watch out for as it is strong enough to tear through metal and cause catastrophic damage to the ship's haul, even sink the ship if the Iram Maris is not dealt with.
Defenses[]
The Iram Maris has only two defenses to protect it from attack, not including it's armor. These defenses are, the ability to spit out Boarbatusks onto a ship to combat any Huntsmen or Huntresses on board, and selfregenerative abilities which only work when the Iram Maris is completely submerged. Unlike it's more known cousin Grimm Dragon (Tiffany) the Iram Maris can only spawn Boarbatusks, and only spawn Boarbatusks, but can be enough to defend the Iram Maris if they're not dealt with quickly. The Iram Maris's regenative ability also only works while it is completely under water however the regenerative process will only regrow it's tentacles if they're severed off, it will not work on the rest of it's body nor help keep it alive, the Iram Maris can and will die if it takes enough incoming damage.
Vulnerabilites[]
The Iram Maris's armor it too thick to be penetrated by most weapons, but the Iram Maris is vulneralbe in the areas where it's armor is not present and especially in it's mouth when it roars or attempts to use it's fire attacks. It's tentacles can also be severed to prevent it from crushing the ship in it's powerful grip and cause it to bleed out a bit. The Iram Maris is also vulnerable to Thunder and Ice attacks but neither will penetrate it's armor.
Biology[]
The Iram Maris, although Aquatic, can travel on land, but tends to stay on the shore line and does not venture far inland. Usually when a Iram Maris comes to land it's to give birth to an offspring, where the mother nurses the youngling until it is ready for it's first swim which when it does, will never return to the shore unless it is about to give birth; an Iram Marius will bear only one offspring max per season. The young usually measure around 20 meters and weigh about 110 tons.
Although relatively much smaller then their parents, the young Iram Maris should not be underestimated as they can still posses a serious threat. While they can not yet breath fire like the parent, a young Iram Maris can still use it's tentacles to climb aboard a vessel and jeapordize it and the crew. A young Iram Maris also can not yet spit out Boarbatusks but it's powerful jaws and tentacles are still something to watch for, as it can easily snatch up a crewman and devour them and chew through the haul, compromising the vessel.
The Iram Maris also has two hearts to help it pump blood through out it's massive body, and massive gills within it's mouth to protect it from any hazards outside it's body that might be harmful to them. These gills however become vulnerable to attackers when it's roaring or preparing to breat fire, if these gills recieve enough damage, the Iram Marius can and will die from Hypoxia.
The Iram Maris's diet consists of smaller aquatic Grimm in Remnant's oceans, as well the occasional sea vessel unfortunate enough to encounter this monster. One of the Iram Maris's predators is the Gigas Prime which prey on Iram Maris younglings, but can prey on the adults too. It's also worth noting that the Gigas Prime's sonic attack is among the very few of attacks that can damage Iram Maris's armor, but only at a certain range.
Trivia[]
The Iram Maris was inspired by the Bio-Lizard from SEGA's "Sonic Adventure 2" and the Kraken from Infinity Ward's "Call of Duty Ghosts".
Iram Maris translates into "Anger Sea" from Latin.
