Other Abilities / Powers / Notes:

  1. Salt Water Breathing.
  2. Often floats sleeping on the surface like an island for so long that vegetation grows on its back.  Each time damage is done to the Body gives it a 1% * (total damage done so far) chance of waking up.
  3. When it dives, it causes a whirlpool so large it can suck ships underwater.
  4. Inside the Body its internal organs form great caverns with pools, islands and shipwrecks populated by those it has swallowed.
