Description
The Aspidoceleon is a sea monster unlike most other sea creatures. It resembles a whale, but with a snake-like head and armor as tough as a turtle's shell. They act much like whales, but their head's strike like serpents at fish. Oddly, though they may strike like snakes, they feed like other whales and pelicans using a large collecting mandible to trap plankton or fish. They are normally docile creatures, with very little threats to their existence. However they reproduce slowly and so if they are over hunted they will have trouble returning to their original numbers.
