Basilosaurus
Basilosauruses are a species of primeval whale.1[citation needed]
Appearance
A basilosaurus resembles a greatly elongated whale measuring 60 feet, but with long, toothed alligator-like jaws. Inexperienced observers often confuse a basilosaurus with a sea serpent or water orm.1[citation needed]
Ecology
Basilosauruses locate prey with echolocation and vision, but sometimes mistake smaller ships for food. Basilosauruses are apex predators: a fully-grown one is only threatened by supernatural monsters like krakens, thalassic behemoths, and the largest sea serpents.1[citation needed]
On Golarion
Basilosauruses are one of many large predators that live in the Antarkos Ocean's depths.2 Whalers of the Embaral Ocean report sightings of basilosauruses, though only rarely.3
