This creature from the deep, known as the Water Beast, The Beast, or the Sea Serpent, is a boss creature encountered in Turok, after Joseph Turok makes his way through the Soldier Bug cave and reuniting with Slade. Turok kills the beast by using a ESUS Hellfire Flamethrower to ignite the explosive vents whenever the creature lunges at him.

Appearance Edit

This creature is only partially shown. The creature has an eel-like body with octopus-like tentacles and a Dunkleosteus-like head.

The front portion of the creature's body that's usually above the water's surface is well over 60 feet long. It has four tentacles that are even longer than that portion; being able to reach Turok from a very far distance, as well as grab the stalactites on the ceiling of the area. Based on the in-game model, its entire body length is most likely much more than double the length of the portion of its body that's seen above water, making it significantly over 120 feet in total length. On the tentacles, there are suction cups meant for gripping things. Its head looks much like a prehistoric fish and its eyes glow a lime green.

Gameplay Edit

This creature is encountered as a boss battle deep in the caves in "Down and Out." It will attempt to hit the player with a variety of means, including its tentacles, throwing rocks at the player, and even lunging in and biting the player.

The creature deals a large amount of damage that will kill in only a few hits before death occurs. The creature however, is stationary so standing a certain distance away will result in it not being able to reach the player. Its only weakness are the geothermic gas vents spread through the area and when hit, it will recoil and show more blood loss as the fight goes on.

In order for the player to kill this beast, they must shoot the geothermic gas vents as the Water Beast tries to lunge in, and attack the player. The resulting explosion will damage the Beast, and will show the aforementioned blood loss.

During the times in between lunges, the Beast will utilize a few attacks to combat the player. One involves a tentacle swipe across the arena. This attack will be a nuisance to the player, rather than a life or death struggle, as it's highly avoidable.

The second attack is a subtle rock throw. The Beast will tear rocks out of the ground from under itself, and toss them at the player. This is relatively ineffective, as it strikes a certain range alone, and can easily be avoided.

The last is an attack involving the Beast ripping stalactites from the ceiling, and throwing them at the player. This is highly deadly, and will be the cause of the player's death most of the time, especially on Inhuman.

Once it dies, it will collapse on the rock bridge and act as a makeshift bridge for the player and Slade to cross.

Trivia Edit

It is possible that this creature was native to the planet before it was terraformed, thus explaining why it appeared in, and stayed, underground.

This creature is the largest enemy in the game - even larger than Mama Scarface and the Giganotosaurus .

. The model of the beast isn't "complete"; its tentacles aren't connected to its body and the back end of the creature is a separate piece from the frontal part of its body. This is due to how the beast is in the water, so the cut offs are covered up, which means a "complete" model isn't necessary.
