The majestic sky whales, kings of the clouds and lords of the sky they rule their domain as the largest organism to have ever graced the sky. The sky whales are thought to be the descendents of ghast. They traverses the clouds aimlessly in search of its next meal, namely flocks of birds and anything else that gets engulfed inside its large mouth. Sky whales vary in size by age, older whales can reach colossal lengths almost tripling the size of the largest whales found in the ocean. These creatures are a rare sight as they are few in numbers, but they can be observed reliably by tracking their migration. The pigment of the Sky whales skin changes in different habitats, in the desert it takes a sandier complexion while above the ocean it might take a hue of deep blue.

Creation/Origin

Sky whales were discovered sailing the skies of valor soon after we transitioned into our new land . They enjoy a temperate climate seeking prairies and grasslands as ideal habitats however some have chosen to live in more extreme locations. These gentle giants are generally found in the lower troposphere roughly a mile above the ground. Due to the lack of Sky whales that have donated their bodies to science much of their physiology is not yet understood.

Behavior

Sky whales are docile and shy animals they tend to stay with themselves and normally do not go near the ground. Highly intelligent animals that have the inate ability of keeping memories over very long times spanning hundreds of years. From years of experience they have grown wary of the descendants and tend to distance themselves from their harpoons. The taming of sky whales is thought to be impossible due to their aloof natures however those who watch them carefully might gain insight in how to coerce this gentle giant.

Sky whales diet consist of mainly birds as not much else will enter into its mouth. They feed by opening their very large mouth and anything unlucky enough will get swallowed will be consumed in a similar fashion as a whale shark.

Abilities

The sky whale has its mouth open to consume food, the air swallowed into its lungs is funneled into its lungs where it then separates the lighter than air elements tunneling them to a very large bladder that acts as a ballast to keep the giant afloat.
