[[Category: Fauna]]

'''Teuthemi Leviathans''' are a species of space mega-fauna commonly found in Sector West and system [[0609 Teuthem|0609 Teuthem]] known as "Great Tahora" by the [[Tahora Whai]].

One noted [[Dynaean|Dynae|Dynaean]] researcher, ''Hakina Paraone'', and their team discovered a means to replicate the song of the majestic Teuthemi Leviathans. The resulting technology was named the Vāk, or Voice, and allows for light-speed communication of thoughts and emotion between individuals. Transcending the restrictions of traditional conversation, a greater sense of empathy and community was quickly apparent with its users. In a matter of months, the researchers brought the technology to a community scale and it was widely adopted. However, the explosion in use of the Vāk also came with its detractors

Nearing the end of their lives, Teuthemi Leviathans retire in the upper atmosphere of Gas Giants. The most famous gas planet that attracts these whales is [[Paikea|Teuthem#Paikea|Paikea]]. The planet's atmosphere is rich in edible gasses and suspended tahora food. The density of the clouds makes hunting the tahora in this environment incredibly dangerous and helps preserve the mega fauna until their death. At the end of their life cycle, Tahora often expire in a Tahora Graveyard that forms rings around the giant planets.

Teuthemi Leviathans are a principleprincipal food source of the planet [[Dynae]] and are symbiotically linked with the [[Tahora Whai]]. Whai have a form of reverence for the Great Tahora and similar mega-fauna as they are seen as foundational to their existence.
