Gyarados are incredibly rare creatures, almost never found anywhere, but when they are found, it's always in the oceans in the deepest trenches. They are very secretive creatures and don't visit the surface very often, but when they do, everyone who's smart knows to run for their lives. Gyarados are incredibly powerful and can lay waste to any town, dock, even an island chain if angered or bothered in any way. Normally, they are bright blue with white underbellies and white spots along their sides and a dark blue crest on their foreheads. Some civilizations view these reclusive and secretive creatures as gods of the oceans and they build statues to the destructive monsters that could wipe them out, statues or no. |
