This is unfair, I know. But I had to post some Goliath fan art! I'm just warning you, I will NOT be able to control myself, so be careful of what I upload.
From Goliath, page 7: Dylan returned to the table and his precious potatoes.
One of my favorite parts so far! I swear, Mr. Westerfeld has mentioned potatoes in all three of the Leviathan books! I think we have a common obsession. XD
I couldn't help but think of Gollum from Lord of the Rings when I read this part...so I present you with an overly protective Deryn Sharp with her precious potatoes!

Leviathan: Deryn steals the other middies' potatoes in the beginning.
Behemoth: Volger finally takes a bite of his potatoes when Deryn comes to talk to him.
Goliath: Deryn tells Newkirk and Alek to eat their potatoes to keep warm and later is described as "going back to her precious potatoes." And, Deryn steals one of Newkirk's potatoes.
Deryn does love her potatoes.
