Complications:
Disabled (Animal)- Leviathans cannot use their limbs to easily manipulate objects.
Responsibility (Arrogant)- Leviathans are extremely arrogant, and constantly desire to be "in charge". They are typically convinced to do things by appealling to their sense of superiority.
Rivalry (Dragons)- Leviathans have a fragile ego and are somewhat threatened by Dragons- they will nearly always attack and kill Hatchlings they find.

-Inexplicably thrown into the "Dragons" section of the book is the Leviathan... which is basically Chuck Walton drawing a Liopleurodon and adding a clawed hand in one drawing, so it's a new thing. Like, everything is consistent. In any case, these are ancient creatures who've lived on Earth for centuries, and may be highly-evolved "dinosaurs" (they mean aquatic reptiles *puts on nerd glasses*) or the reptilian equivalent to whales and dolphins). Intelligent and able to speak, they are arrogant, extremely powerful, and nigh-invincible compared to regular Rifts stuff. There's some fun stuff about how the Lemurians have come to an "understanding" with some of the hundred or so Leviathans that exist- by appealing to the creatures' egos and great might, the Lemurians humbly asked for help against their mutual enemies, including the Milu, Naut'Yll and the Lord of the Deep. Smugly, the Leviathans agreed, and when impressed by the courage of Lemurians, will agree to allow Serpent Hunters to enter their mouths and thus gain the Leviathan Bio-Armor.
-A Leviathan has some pretty basic and simple stats- a Breath Weapon, a high amount of damage-dealing (but not moreso than many War Steeds, who are 1/8th the size, which is extremely weird and just SO Palladium), rudimentary Skills, and more... but is differerentiated by his IMMENSE durability- 1D6x1000 M.D.C.! That's enough to hit +19 Toughness pretty easily, and would make them nigh-unkillable to even the Serpent Hunters at full power (a Leviathan would qualify as a "Serpent") simply by being so tough. Their accuracy and durability isn't that bad, either, with +4 to parry, +6 to hit, and more. Overall, they're PL 12 offensively and PL 13.5 defensively.
