Category	Insectoid

Level range	41 - 50

Levitaths are flying enemies in Xenoblade Chronicles X. Despite their fishlike appearance, levitaths are actually Insectoids. They float through the sky and fight using their powerful ether energy and wings.

Description

Levitaths' huge mouths are giant vacuums used to imbibe ethereal energy, while their hollow upper torsos house low-density gas, making the creatures highly efficient fliers. Though generally docile, they will unleash powerful ether-based attacks in self-defense.

Because levitaths stay airborne without expending energy, they actually never need to land. As such, they spend all phases of their life —including reproduction and child rearing— in the air. Chicks are born in the torso cavity, remaining there for roughly six months until flightworthy. Just before leaving, the younglings receive a portion of their mother's flight-assisting gas.

Additional Notes

The Squad Mission Odd Symbiosis shows that murras work together to protect levitaths, and will even self-destruct when ether density is high.

Additionally, the petramand's description shows that they will attach themselves to levitaths in order to move to new homes.

In combat

The Levitath typically uses powerful ether attacks to hurt their enemies, like Ether Laser, which gets stronger as its health decreases

In general, Levitath are weak to ether, thermal, and gravity attacks, usually taking 25% more damage from ether, thermal, and gravity attacks, while resisting physical attacks by 35%.

Levitath have three appendages in the head, tail, and back. The head and tail have a hardness of 0, while the back has a hardness of 1.
