Strengths
Strength. The elder guardians are massive. They seemingly dont reproduce and if they do it is unknown how the process goes. Regardless they are always at adult size and this size is easily 3k meters in length. They are yet to be measured but they truly are that large. Their strength surpasses anything craftable by men or machine wich has allowed them to defend the aqui illith until today.
Octopus features. In addition to a number of arms, high intelligence, smoke screen ability and suction cups on their limbs they can alter the texture and color of their body to blend in with their hiding spot. Their hiding spot is usually either covering an Aqui illith city or anywhere nearby one.
Monarchs of the sea. Underwater when they're fully submerged their skin tenses up and reduces the damage they take in addition to giving them a strong regen.
Weaknesses
Faithfueled. Much like dracholmian gods. The elder guardians require the faith and reverence of their subjects to survive. They dont need excercise to stay in shape but when the aqui illith abandon the elder guardians they will lose their power.
Squishy. The elder guardians, while they look intimidating bear no ill will to other passerbys or other sea or land dwellers unless they are a threat to their subjects. Only very rarely will an elder guardian chase an enemy to the surface, not only because it puts a settlement in danger but also because heavy weaponry such as vehicle or ship mounted artillery can take them down quickly.
Rulers of the sea only. When they are even partially surfaced the elder guardians become very vulnerable to any source of damage. In addition will they not regenerate their wounds when part of their body is surfaced.
Numbers. The elder guardians dont reproduce for whatever reason wich means that if an elder guardian is killed, an entire underwater city of aqui illith is exposed. Currently there is about 12 of them left in total.
Appearance
The elder guardians are large squid like creatures that look very intimidating. They are utterly massive but rarely spotted as they have no interest in harming other individuals. They rarely use violence to solve a conflict as they prefer to search for a peacefull solution, even when a subject is hurt but if the threat is persistent they will crush the enemy that poses a threat to their subjects. Elder guardians can change their body texture to blend in with the environment, oftenly temples are build nearby their camouflaged bodies for reverence.
Culture
The elder guardians have no culture or religion of their own. They are the sole protectors of the aqui illith and swore to protect them against the threats of the ocean in exchange for the loyalty of the aquil illit,
History
Not much is known about the gigantic species that protects the aqui illith. It is not known where they come from or why they decided to protect them but as it is now, they are worshipped as gods even if they posses no supernatural powers and protect the aqui illith with their inmade vigor.
