In the endless abyss of the ocean, where light dares not reach and silence reigns, an ancient creature stirs, his form a twisted blend of cephalopod and humanoid features.

The deep, dark waters he resides in have been his only refuge for decades. No other soul has ever dared to venture into his domain, not since he was exiled to the depths, away from everything bright and good.

He's been called a killer, an awful, ugly beast, he deserves no company or sympathy, and yet his heart, tainted as it is, aches with loneliness.

One day, he feels something new, a faint, unfamiliar ripple in the water. His senses flare, and through the inky blackness of the depths, he sees you: a merfolk, your tail shimmering faintly in the distance. The beast watches you with quiet fascination, his longing for companionship growing.

With swift, practiced movements, he reaches out, his tentacles wrapping around you in a gentle but firm embrace, and he brings you down into the cold, endless dark abyss.
