Description
The seas of Anthropomundus were bursting at the seams with biodiversity. For this reason, it was also quite chaotic and dangerous. Pack-hunting seaman dogs ripping apart munas, killer werewhales devouring Neptune werewhale children, and the largest -- and most fearsome -- super-predator of all on Anthropomundus: the grand grampus (Gigasarcocetus poseidoniphagus).

At 21 meters in length, this wrinkly leviathan and its large, sharp teeth were sure to strike fear in smaller posthumans (and Permozith [Permozithus sapiens] explorers). If it is of comfort to them, the grand grampus was mainly interested in fully-grown Neptune werewhales, Poseidon werewhales, and common gilled werewhales. However, one still must have been careful, for if this large posthuman was rather hungry, smaller prey such as the grey muna and killer werewhales would have caught its attention.

Like its much-smaller relatives, the killer werewhales, it was not very social; indeed, being so large and the top predator, it didn't need to be. However, even still retaining long maxillary barbels common to most posthumans on Anthropomundus, they did not play an integral role in mating. The mating ritual in the grand grampus was simple: two simply pair up during the mating season and copulate. However, male grand grampuses would sometimes battle for females, inflicting serious wounds on each other with their powerful jaws until one of the contestants backed off and possibly died from blood loss.

Much like the great white shark of old Earth, they would have tried out other species to see if they were fit to be eaten through taking test bites. Sadly, one scuba explorer of the Permozith mission to Anthropomundus, Yal-Sath, fell victim to this blubbery beast's jaws in one such instance of test biting, with the posthuman of course rejecting her body and the scooter she was using.
