Editing LeviathanTempest:ArchivedAbilitiesandPowers (section)

=== Partial Transformation; Deep True Form ===
Under this model all transformation of the body, with one exception, occurs on the level of Echoes. Each Echo has a Transformative option or options that can be activated with Ichor; these change the shape of the Leviathan, building off of his basic human body. More powerful Echoes mean more extensive transformation. A secondary set of abilities, called Expressions, Birthrights, or Mutations, would add features to the base powers. For example, the "form claws" power would have an Expression to make those claws poisonous. 

In addition to these, a Leviathan travelling into the primordial ocean would shift into their True Form during the transition; this would let them physically exist as giant monsters without much of the logistical woes that would represent. A truly monstrous Leviathan might lose the ability to change back and forth, and be stuck in a gigantic form - these would be monster sightings and antagonists.
