Marsh Leviathans are aquatic creatures that live in marshes and other bodies of water. They're distant cousins of the legendary Swamp Leviathans that lived in the swamps and rivers of Black Marsh. Unlike the Swamp Leviathans, Marsh Leviathans are smaller and live in places more north such as Skyrim, Solstheim, High-Rock, and Morrowind.

Marsh Leviathans prefer eating a diet of fish and shellfish as they're-piscivores/molluscivores, though they will pursue terrestrial animals if the opportunity arises. Some large enough will feast on Horkers and they will eat Netch as they have the resistance to its meat. The only odds of fighting a Netch is their natural weakness to shock damage.

There are many variants of Marsh Leviathans roaming in Skyrim with the most notable being Spinosaurus and Baryonyx. Marsh Leviathans in Solstheim are notably bigger and stronger no matter the species, as they do not suffer as much competition in the mainland and there is abundant marine life that's not too far and beyond from Solstheims shores.

They're a bit sluggish on land, but when in water they're twice as deadly as a Tyrannosaurus Rex as they will drag their foes underwater to drown them, and they will perform a flurry of attacks. Getting behind one can result in getting around by their enormous tails. It's best to fight them out of the water.


- 2 new variants of Marsh Leviathans:
Spinosaurus, Baryonyx

- New Mechanics and abilities:
- Snag: They will grab enemies in the water that are in front of them and dish out damage.
- Tailstrike: Enemies that get too close behind them will get smacked away by their tails underwater and do damage.
- Flurry: Enemies that get close to them from any angle will take damage, it stacks with either Snag or Tailstrike.
- Strikes with their claws cause bleeding damage.
- Extra damage to Horkers and Netch
- They will eat the animal that they kill and what was on them if they aren't too big.
- New loot and sounds

When in water:

- They will regenerate health as trolls do.
- Their overall damage is increased.
- They may slow the enemy if they're bitten.

- In future updates:
More variants of Marsh Leviathans (Spinosaurids)
