Description[]
 This coelacanth is unbelievably large. Who knows how many years it took to reach this impressive size? Looking at it makes you feel the weight of the ages and even a sense of timelessness. The feeling of solemnity leaves you in no doubt that this is the emperor of those living fossils, the mighty coelacanths. Ce cœlacanthe a des dimensions hors du commun. Qui sait combien d'années il lui a fallu pour atteindre cette taille impressionnante? En le voyant, on croirait faire un voyage vers des temps antédiluviens. Pas de doute, ce poisson est l'empereur des fossiles vivants que sont les cœlacanthes. Dieser Quastenflosser ist unglaublich groß. Wer weiß, wie viele Jahre es gedauert haben mag, um diese gewaltigen Ausmaße zu erreichen? Wer ihn anschaut, den scheint die Last der Zeitalter zu überwältigen und er verliert jedes Gespür für Zeit... Dieses feierliche Gefühl lässt keinen Zweifel zu: Dies ist der Herrscher unter den lebenden Fossilien, den mächtigen Quastenflossern. Le dimensioni di questo celacanto sono impressionanti. Chissà quanto tempo è stato necessario perché crescesse così? Osservare questo fossile vivente porta a riflettere sul concetto di tempo e la solennità di questo esemplare ci porta a riconoscerlo come il re di tutti i celacanti. 信じられないほど巨大なサイズのシーラカンス。ここまでの大きさに育つまで、いったいどれぐらいの年月を生きてきたのだろうか。じっと見つめていると、なんだか超古代の存在から心に物語られているような錯覚を覚えてしまう。その姿には荘厳さすら漂い、まさしく生きる化石シーラカンスの皇帝であると言えよう。  This coelacanth is unbelievably large. How many years could it have taken to reach this impressive size? Looking at it makes you feel as if you're being told a story by an ancient deity. The figure of this creature is so majestic, that surely this must be the emperor of these living fossils known as coelacanths. ? Este celacanto tiene un tamaño impresionante. ¿Cuántos años habrá tardado en alcanzarlo? Contemplándolo, se siente el peso del tiempo; la sensación de atemporalidad que transmite pone de manifiesto sin ningún género de dudas que este pez es el campeón de esos fósiles vivientes a los que llamamos celacantos. |

Creature Log[]
Endless Ocean Luminous[]
Description[]
"This coelacanth is unbelievably large. Who knows how many years it took to reach this impressive size? Looking at it makes you feel the weight of the ages and even a sense of timelessness. The feeling of solemnity leaves you in no doubt that this is the emperor of those living fossils, the mighty coelacanths."
Location[]
Endless Ocean 2[]
This creature can be found in the Cavern of the Gods, at coordinates B-2 (southwest) in the Pillars of Shadow, though only after the Cavern has been re-opened. It typically hovers around the middle levels of the room, slightly south of the trapdoor into the Celestial Mausoleum. Jean-Eric implies the Living Fossil was discovered fifty years prior to the events of the game.
Endless Ocean Luminous[]
The Emperor can be found in deep sea and historic ruin sections of the Veiled Sea.
Dialogue[]
Endless Ocean 2[]
Favorite Creature[]
Jean-Eric: "Look at the size of that coelacanth! It must be the Living Fossil! It was briefly seen over 50 years ago, and the story spread all over the world. I never dreamed I would see it beyond old, blurred photographs. How old must it actually be to have grown so immense?"
Behavior[]
It swims and hovers around slowly and gracefully, alongside the other coelacanths in the Pillars of Shadow. Much like its base species, its trivia can be unlocked by taking a picture of it.
Gallery[]
A large gathering of Emperors, seen during Endless Ocean Luminous's "Scintillating Dive II" event dive.
Notes[]
- This is one of Jean-Eric's favorite creatures.
