I've read that the devs are thinking of only having the GL in the Void because of some problems with it in the Lost River, but honestly I feel those problems can be solved easily.
-for one, if its overall movement speed was reduced to around 75-60% of the Reaper Leviathan's speed, not only would it have less trouble with smacking into things but it would also move more appropriately for something of its physiology and habitat, a more sedate beast cruising steadily through the murk. The lunge animation, if it's what the attack animation will be, can remain at the same speed or only reduced by 90-85%.
-the Bones Field, Junction, and Ghost Forest are all large enough to easily accommidate a GL and have plenty of room for both it to move around comfortably and the player to slip past it with little problem. Now we don't need one in all three, in fact just one GL would work fine, and maybe have it randomly respawn in one of the three locations whenever you leave and re-enter the Lost River like it's patrolling through its entire domain.
-if its size is a problem, then reduce it to around halfway between the Sea Dragon and Reaper Leviathan's lengths or about 25% longer than the Reaper, so it's still huge but not quite so huge and can fit easier.
Please, don't make it a Void-only creature, because going to all the trouble and love labor to get it in before launch only to relegate it to a place people would only go out of boredom and be no threat at all would be dumb.
I also saw the posts that said "It would be too distracting from the story and facilties so we may not put it in the Lost River", what kind of nonsense is that? You put SIX Reapers around the Aurora, one by the Gun, and Reapers in areas with Wrecks and Caches and that's fine but even ONE Ghost Leviathan in the Lost River would somehow "distract" players?

Don't make that beautiful Tree Cove Leviathan Playground. It is basically the only "safe" place down there at the perfect depths for a base as you can still reach it with a Seamoth. It would be really bad to lock that place down with a Leviathan.
