The captain shows no fear but is knocked down from a falling mast.

Tentacles violently drag crewmen to their watery grave while also tearing the ship apart. Suddenly, the gigantic creature leaps over them before it attacks the ship. One of the crewmen is concerned about the page that shows a giant creature supposedly guarding the entrance, the Leviathan, but the captain will hear none of it and threatens to kill anyone that tries to halt the expedition any further. Following the directions illustrated in the Shepherd's Journal, a Viking ship sets forth through a thunderstorm to locate what is believed to be a portal that will lead them to Atlantis. It presumably presents the failed expedition Thorfinn Karlsefni participated in to find Atlantis. In the original opening sequence for Atlantis: The Lost Empire. It is then presumably charged with guarding the entrance to Atlantis. In Atlantis: The Lost Empire, the Leviathan and five others of its kind, is seen being swallowed by a gigantic tsunami accidently generated by the King of Atlantis. However, its enormous size became a liability when the Ulysses sub pods descended into the crevice that the Leviathan couldn't fit through. Using its unmatched bulk and power, the Leviathan has claimed hundreds of intruding vessels over the centuries. Despite its size, the Leviathan is quite agile and fast, maneuvering around the underwater pillars to outflank and surprise enemies, and catch up with fast vessels. It has two menacing eyes that can zoom inwards like an aperture to examine smaller objects. The Leviathan is also capable of shooting a powerful energy bolt, generated by wires on its face that work similar to spark plugs. One of these mandibles is large enough to hold the entire Ulysses. However, it has smaller mandibles closer to its face that mostly handle the tiny vessels that it destroys. The Leviathan's primary weapons are its gigantic pincers, which can easily snap ships in half. Its exoskeleton is strong enough to absorb torpedo fire and remain unscathed. It is autonomous and intelligent, able to make surprise attacks on intruders and use the underwater terrain to its advantage. The Leviathan is a gigantic mechanical lobster-shaped automaton, several times larger than the largest man-made vessels ever invented. The monster subsequently attacked and destroyed the Ulysses, killing many of its crew members. The crew of the Ulysses was warned of the machine's presence when they detected the creature's eerie, metallic call. Unbeknownst to him, the Leviathan was, in fact, a machination set to patrol the waters outside the gateway to Atlantis. Milo Thatch thought this was merely a ruse, however, and thought that it was a statue meant to frighten the superstitious. The Shepherd's Journal describes the Leviathan as a sea serpent while the Bible describes it as a beast that breathes fire from its mouth. Since that day, the Leviathan has, by circling the entrance to Atlantis, kept intruders at bay. Description The directors always thought of the Leviathan as the largest of Atlantean warships left over from the holocaust that drove Atlantis to the center of the earth.
