Unique creature.\

The Shadow Leviathan is a single creature, older than ELDRA itself, that has absorbed so much necrotic energy over its existence that it has become part void. It surfaces only when it hungers, which is rarely, but the event reshapes coastlines. It has been mistaken for an island. Ships have been built on it.
