With the word that Fauna is on the development block I wanted to chime in my opinion of "Star Leviathans" also known as "Space Whales".
* Star Leviathans, known for their great size, and for being perfectly suited for zero-g environments are most commonly reported to be found in rich asteroid belts. These creatures rely on the Ores and Crystals found in Asteroids to sustain themselves nutritionally. As a result Asteroid Miners have given reports that their mining craft have been attacked by Leviathans (One unlucky soul's last transmission was that the leviathan was DEVOURING his ship with him inside it. Responders who made it to the ships finally location found only a lone core floating through the void. Nothing was left of the ship, its systems, or its doomed pilot).
* Star Leviathans are known to be fiercely territorial and independent. Once birthed, the infant is summarily abandoned by it's mother, as it begins life with the means and instincts to survive as these creatures do. They are drawn to metals, and will devour entire asteroids to feed themselves. They will attack other spacewhales, in addition to ships if they feel their food source is threatened.
* Space Whale is somewhat of a misnomer. The Leviathan's size and general shape can be compared to a Terran sea whale, but that (hopefully) is where the comparison ends.
These are just some general ideas that I have had, and I wanted to share them in case anyone thought that they were any good. Thanks for your time!
