Talk:Sea Emperor Leviathan

Shouldn't the Sea Emperor Leviathan technically be called the Sea Empress Leviathan? I mean, it does speak to you in a female voice and produces eggs.

The “Emperor” in “Sea Emperor Leviathan” refers to the species as a whole, not to the individual who is encountered in the game. At least, that’s how I’ve always interpreted it.

Dialog similarities to music lyrics - perhaps a reference?

The Sea Emperor Leviathan's telepathic communication in the aquarium, specifically her farewell (#4 on the page) appears to be similar to the final verse of the song "Highwayman" by the old country-western band "The Highwaymen".

Example: "Perhaps next we meet I will be an ocean current, carrying seeds to a new land... Or a creature so small it sees the gaps between the grains of sand." ~The Sea Emperor Leviathan

""I fly a starship across the universe divide... And when I reach the other side... I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can." "Perhaps I will become a highwayman again..." "Or I may simply be a single drop of rain..." "But i will still remain."

-Highwayman the song

Here's a link to a lyric video on YouTube (not my creation) which gives the full haunting, eerie, tragic effect. https://youtu.be/qFSA8-pxrqc

I wonder if this was ever confirmed as an intentional reference to the song, or if it was simply a coincidence that they were structured the same. Kerry, son of Spyro (talk) 06:55, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
