Sweetness! I don't know what that is, but I know it's bad ass!
Way to go Claudio!

That would be the The Tempest, a mile-long living airship!
It was first seen from a distance in WotBS#5: Mission to the Monastery of Two Winds. Here's the picture of it from that adventure and a brief description as the PCs saw it (briefly) then:
The howling winds have died to a safe flurry, and as you take a moment to rest you feel
something watching you from above. You scan the skies cautiously and there, miles up, directly above the now-annihilated laboratory, you glimpse something impossibly large, so massive that its silhouette is visible even through the clouds of the fading storm. Lightning flashes intermittently, giving you a hint of its form.
It must be colossal, the size of a small city, floating in the tempest like a shark in the dark seas. Massive horns adorn its head, and its body stretches backward at sharp angles, like the wings of a swooping raptor or the fins of an ancient sea predator. Its body tapers to a forked tail, but even that must be hundreds of feet wide. You see what might be a flock of birds sweeping past it, white birds flying erratically like those at the monastery, and then the clouds begin to roll back in. You know in a moment it will be hidden from you, if it truly exists now.
The last you see of the stormy vision is a glowing disk on its underbelly, and as it vanishes back into the tempest, you realize the disk, farther across than even the largest dragon from maw to tail, was an eye. And it was watching you.
The Tempest features in a major way in Under the Eye of the Tempest, as it attacks Seaquen.
