==== Ideas from the Thread ====
"Typhons: zero firmament Leviathan = no human form no more, plus turning into a degeneration magnet lump of cancerous sludge"

"The Degenerated: The unloved cast-off breeds created by the (much argued over it's nature and even it's existence) Prime Matrix during the ancient Tempest War (this is what I envision for Sisters of Many and the like as they literally sound like a lot of the random monster races created by Tiamat in the legend), along with those Leviathan that become so degenerated they reach the Maelstrom and become irrevocably corrupted by the Tempest, cut off forever from their Primeval ideal. "

==== Summary (With some added ideas)  ==== 
When a Leviathan loses the battle with his nature, or quits the field, degeneration eventually strips him of both his human and divine natures, leaving only the beast behind. These unfortunates all called Typhons by the Tribe. Their degeneration leaves them locked in their transformed shapes, unable to interact with the human world, while their sundered minds are overcome with atavistic urges - territoriality, the urge to mate, and the desire to dominate others. Typhons show little restraint beyond what is necessary to survive, and pose a colossal threat to communities near their lairs, devouring sailors or destroying boats. Worse, most Typhons have retained their Cults, fanatically devoted to the will of their mad deity, tasked to fill the ever-unsatisfied maw of their lord with sacrifice after sacrifice. 

Typhons see other Leviathans as challengers to their territory, and assault them ruthlessly. The Tribe itself considers it a sacred duty to purge the insane Typhons, both for the sake of security and as an act of mercy. This is not an easy task - most Typhons, unfettered by the worries of the world, have grown huge and powerful in their madness.
