[@thorshammer7883]

Very cool formatting the narration on that manner. I can see by observing the descriptions and other lore bits some of these Leviathan creature in universe range differently in size. Some are the size of mountain ranges, some continents, some the size of planets, and some are like star devourer a bit larger then even that. It seems like the Dimensional Horror and the Worm are one of the largest ones coming out of black holes and a giant interdimensional portals. I think with these internal details in mind that might mean the Prethoryn Scourge's Queen might be larger to. So far Stellaris is glad they don't have any crestures as dangerous like Photino Birds who are nearly indestructible physically. They are worse then C'Tans and breed very fast. There are even alot spacial anomalies and creatures SCPs that may fit perfectly with the Stellaris universe like SCP-169, SCP-3485, SCP-4774, Pattern Screamers, Voruteut, and there is even some spacial reality warping phenomenons like a ever expanding interdimensional black hole that exists in every single universe at the same time and keeps on expanding and nobody has ever been able to stop it.
