Behavior
It is generally agreed that there are essentially three levels of intelligence that can apply to a leviathan, though there may be instances where this metric varies. These levels are linked to the leviathan's intended function and are as follows: Maintainers were developed as a new form of workforce. They are generally considered to be as intelligent as they need to be to perform their assigned tasks and are known to be capable in everything from gardening to accounting. While capable of learning and reacting to new stimuli, they do not display much curiosity beyond their area of expertise and do not go out of their way to communicate with humanoids.
 * Maintainer
 * Communicator
 * Predicter

Some maintainers have become adept at working symbiotically with humanoids; the Seed Striders will work with humans to till the land and distribute seeds. Others will simply view humanoids as an obstacle and will react to their presence by sidestepping or ignoring them. Maintainers are by default supposed to view humanoids, animals, and manufactured structures as fragile and will most often gingerly avoid them.

As the maintainers have the simplest modus operandi of the different leviathans, they were the most likely to be repurposed for war in ancient times.

Communicators were a deliberate creation of Predicter leviathans at the beginning of the Age of Intelligence. When Predicters first began to gain sentience, their minds worked at such a different level from their humanoid creators that they needed to develop a halfway point

Predicters were the first leviathans to gain sentience.

Relationship with People
Stemming mainly from a lack of understanding and faulty methods of communication, many leviathans have been elevated to a mythic, often godlike status among the humanoid populations native to their territory. The extent and method of worship varies greatly based on the nature of the leviathan; the Klakes for example view their Leviathan, Oorgarda, as an extension of their community and elevate them to the status of an elder.
