Description
Again, I hope it's the right category!More EO2 photos, yeeeh! This time we got the big badass Thanatos, the shark who rules the South of Ciceros Strait in Greece! I managed to take two photos of him before he attacked my diver but it's already something. I don't think I need to explain you where his quote is taken from, eh? >D
And interesting thing of Thanatos is his human-like intelligence, he managed to bust all the traps the hunters set for him and he caused many shipwrecks and for some weird reason the Pulsar Gun doesn't work on him even if it works on Sperm Whales as well (WTF!?)
The white fin belongs to my dolphin parter, he was playing around me and ran away as soon as Thanatos came in my line of sight, can't blame him!
Photo taken by me (in the game of course!)

At least some good things came out of those CD-I games.

Yeah, and I bet if they weren't made in such a horrible way they could have been some nice platform games.

Imagine if the gameplay was good, but they still had those amusingly awful cutscenes. I think that'd make a great game! XD

Trashy yet awesome, a weird combo!

He is the reason I don't like swimming anywhere near the South end round noon.

Yet you can find some precious stuff down there too. A quick grab and then you run away.

Lol I remember I didn't get him in my encyclopedia on my first encounter with him, so I went to the wreck of the Emerald Lady where he, found him, chase him, and guess what he did? He swam out of the boundaries of which I could swim , so when I went to go get him it kept saying, "The current's too strong to go any farther" and I was like, "You son of a..."

Ehe, I resolved simply waiting for him on the emeral lady and then... attack! You have to be really fast on him.
Also, thanks for the fave!

he is just a re-use of the giant great white form endless ocean one (i have compleated both)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, only with much less scarring.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
the scars were cool but they would detroy each other in a fight

Sounds like a nice challenge to me, but maybe Magu Tapa would win if the legend about him being a god is true.

He's the reason I haven't completed my encyclopedia yet. -.- Ass.
I always liked what Hayako said to me in the castle as he swims by the windows. "Thanatos seems to have taken a liking to you..." And yes, the Zelda reference is the bomb. xD
Leviathan is my other favorite since it's funny that the programmers don't call him Moby Dick for copyright reasons. xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sadly it's impossible to get his entry without getting beaten by him...
I still have to get in the castle with her, gotta find time! Maybe Thanatos might respect you...? "Not in the pit! IT BURRRRNNNSSS!!!" XD
Believe it or not, I was actually more scared of the Leviathan than Thanatos! Because of the surprise, I guess.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I usually just sit on the big pillar that Thanatos swims right in front of, blowing my whistle at him. xD He never seems to care unless I get near his wreck, lol.
My favorite legendary is the Black Harbinger though. He's absolutely gorgeous.

Well, I needed his entry so I've ended chasing him while his rookies chased me XD
I have a soft spot for the Ancient Mother... memories from the first game.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah yes, the Ancient Mother. So graceful....The only thing I really have against from the first game was that damn pirate ship. xD It always seemed to be following me.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The sweet queen of a fallen kingdom...! Really? I actually hoped it was only a choincidence if the ship was strangely always where I was diving XD. But the abyss was the scariest area!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
So much scarier than the one in the sequel. The one in the first was large and practically open, there was more hidden areas to find...it was great. I always loved trying to swim around and find the giant squid. In the sequel, it's always in the same spot. Where's the fun in that?

And the skeleton on the bottom! The (probably) White King rests there with the guardians watching over.

And the white and black ones return to help you, just as they did with the prince and the princess....god, I love the legends and backstories behind Endless Ocean and it's sequel.

And Magu Tapa, the fallen prince... the youngest of the six. Such a beautiful story!

Thanatos's name is actually a Latinized (I think that's the correct term here?) version of the Greek word for "death."
Thanatos = Death
And interestingly enough, the word "Athanatos" means "immortal" or "deathless" or if you really wanted, "anti-thanatos"

Firstly, thank you for the double fave and for the explanation of the name, it's been a while since I looked into mythical greek stuff and I just followed what his description said on game.
Probably the Orca partner should be named such a way, but I doubt there's actually something that might held Thanatos (the shark XP) at bay.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
this is a super late comment to this--i was looking for screencaps of thanatos cause i love and fear him at the same time--and i don't know if anyone's mentioned this or not in all the other comments here BUT! the orca doesn't scare any shark at all xD I HAVE TRIED! i thought that, perhaps, since orcas are an apex predator that the creators MIGHT take that into consideration...but no, thanatos--and every other shark--will still smack you into oblivion xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks! Looks like Thanatos got many fans out there XD Probably the orca doesn't scare any sharks off because it's still a young one? I knew from the start I couldn't trust the little guy for keeping them at bay.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
that's what i was thinking, cause it's just a lil orca the sharks are all 'lol wut?'. but i think even if it was a big one the creators probably wouldn't take that into account cause i mean...thanatos looks to be about 5 times bigger than any of the orcas anyway lol! also, from one endless ocean fan to another, i need to ask someone that's played the game--why is the tiger shark about 8 times bigger than the great white when you see them side by side? >> tiger sharks are smaller than great white sharks and i think it's the biggest thing that's been bothering me about the game xD other than the fact the sharks aren't scared by the orca.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
If they used an adult orca probably it would have got stuck into narrow passages like the caves or the temple's corridors. Thanatos, like Magu Tapa is probably based on the shark of Jaws, which was massive already (but once they found a female of that size, scary!) I've never quite understood that either, maybe it's because it's a single one while the great whites are in two large packs? Maybe Thanatos isn't afraid because he can outsmart them, he can outsmart humans after all.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah that's what i was thinking too haha. but ah, i didn't think of that...so i suppose 8+ great whites = 1 tiger shark? xD lol thanatos would fear nothing...he r ruler of da seaz
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Just think if you could befriend a sperm whale! XD It could be, but not all the proportions in the game are the same than in real life, the false killer whale is a lot bigger than the one you see in the game for example. Thanatos is the king of grecian seas!

omg, that'd be the most awesome thing in life xD could you imagine training that thing? as soon as it jumps its already hitting like...50 feet xD and yeah, i didn't expect them to be particularly accurate, and it's not like it bothers me or anything, i was just confused for a while lol. it'd be kinda terrifyingly awesome if thanatos was like...real >> but haha, it's good to see there are some awesome fans of this game out there, i don't come across many that know if it, let alone have played it ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You'll have to stay away from Nineball Island for the training XD It's already accurate enough with all the countless animals out there. If he or Magu Tapa were real maybe finning would have stopped once for all. Yeah, it's rare to find fans of the game maybe because isn't a popular gender.

I love orcas. ^^
LOL, I haven't gotten very far into the game yet, I am only up to my spectacled porpoise
Do you know which one comes after the spectacled porpoise, and when will I get an Amazon River Dolphin? ^^'
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm more of a shark fan actually.
After the porpoise you get the albino bottle nose dolphin. And the river dolphin is the third to last, it's needed for find another leggendary.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ooohhh a bottlenose? Cool.
Exactly what part occurs in order for you to get it?
And I recently was bringing someone on a tour in Valka Castle (and the bugger kept getting lost and making me panic, he refused to go through doors and always stayed there while I went into another room >.< ).
While staring at some red cornetfish (or whatever they are) I notice something outside the window.... It takes a moment to register in my brain.... And then I'm like,
"HOLY CRAP, THAT'S THANATOS!" XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, and it can sense coins!
Lemme try to remember... when the friend of all animals (forgot his name, he's the bandana guy) tells you about an albino dolphin, you should go to the Ciceros Trait, at the X shaped rocks.
Yeah, Thanatos is patrolling the castle apparently. Looks like he doesn't want to tear you to shreds while you're in the castle, those windows look so frail...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, I don't think I've met that guy yet.
I just completed the challenge with watching the sea turtles lay the eggs. Also am ready to (but I haven't done so yet) heal the seals in Cicero Strait. And am I the only one who laughs at the spectacled's porpoise's description?
And to my dismay, Thanatos cannot be clicked on through the windows. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Uhm... maybe he should come after you release a certain amount of animals from the private bay or maybe it depends of how many you heal. What does it says in the english version?
Well, I managed to "interact" with him, it requires you to get hit by him and then for a few seconds you can click on him and take a photo without risks.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, healing then.
Oh, I've taken a photo of "lovable" ol' Thanatos. I've also found him around a shipwreck to the farthest west in Ciceros Strait. I must've gotten hit at least twenty times by him and his great white shark gangsters! But I did end up getting a picture AND reading his info :3
Hmmmm, I wonder if you can use the food option on him.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nothing stops you from equipping the bay and then returning some time later, it gradually gets life depending of what you put in it.
He really does dislike divers. The first time I've tried to sedate all his underlings, but at the end I said "the hell with it!" And charged straight forward.
I doubt he'll be actracted by pellets, we need fresh meat!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
BTW, I know this is dumb, but..... How do you add stuff into the private reef? I kind of scrolled through the directions a bit quickly.... And I've been trying to figure it out but couldn't...
I ended up getting a nice picture of Thanatos's rear end when I tried.

You go in there and on the screen you should get instruction like "Press 1 for item placing" and such, either that or you find the instructions on the bookled on the table on Nineball Island.
I managed to get a partial profile.

Oh, so like the aquarium?
I once managed to get a great picture of a tiger shark.... I snapped the shot right as it attacked me! And another shot right as it was turning to attack, so I got a big lump of gills and scaly skin in that pic. :\
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, but with more freestyle, you don't have to follow want the people want for more visitors.
That's why it's better to sedate them before trying to get photos 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I find the aquarium very fun, personally. ^^ Though I've never tested if the dangerous animals in it will attack you.... Though the caiman I had in the annex did not attack.
Haha, I used to use the pulsar all the time. I never do it anymore. I just let myself get attacked. XD And I love those spectacled caimans, though it's hard to tell which ones will attack and which ones are docile. Generally, if they have young, they'll attack. Right?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I liked it as well, especially because it was perfect for thake photos of tiny creatures.
Yes, only the ones with babies do attack you. Also, you unlock an archievement if you get attacked several times.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I find enjoyment in changing the creatures and doing color schemes
Have you ever had very irritating people that you've brought on a tour that just keep getting lost? >.<
