Make the Collector Leviathan Look More Aged and Deep-Sea Adapted

I really like the Collector Leviathan’s design and the sense of fear it creates. However, I feel its appearance is still a little too clean for a creature that has lived in the deep ocean for a very long time.

My suggestion is to give the Collector subtle visual signs of age and environmental wear, such as rougher or weathered skin, old scars and scratches, small marine organisms or parasites attached to less-active areas, subtle mineral buildup or discoloration, and worn or damaged tips on its tentacles from constantly interacting with the seafloor.

I don’t think it needs to become extremely grotesque or horror-focused. The goal would be to make it feel like a real deep-sea predator that has survived in this ecosystem for a very long time.

From a distance, it would still be terrifying because of its size and behavior. But when the player gets close, they could notice the scars, worn skin, and organisms living on its body.
