It's a localized Sea Serpent reprint. I like seeing them around, I don't like playing them.

Terrible card but DAMN I love the flavour in this set. This a perfect exemplar of it! Mortal pride!

Why the hell does a 5/5 with a drawback and no other abilities cost 6?
Given the prevalence of enchantment creatures, it's not a huge drawback... in this set, at least. Still underwhelming.

Name and illustration indicates a Rare or Mythic Rare blue Exile ability creature, in the vein of Phyrexian Ingester, while the actual card text indicates amazing trash-bin potential.

Why doesn't this prevent damage dealt to it from Gods?

Hilariously, this is comparative to Sea Serpent, a spell that wasn't that great back then.
I suppose you could take a few of these in a draft (they're easy to get), but Benthic Giant has no drawback and has hexproof. The only benefit this has is the extra power and Whelming Wave protection.

This card gets 5/5 on the "Potential name for a metal band" scale.
