Skin the color of the darkest waters, this lanky merian holds himself with utter
poise and a calculated control that lends an air of unease in his presence. Piercing,
protuberant eyes protected by a nictitating membrane, glower with a sickly,
ochraceous vividness that contrasts with his darker features. A thin, diaphanous
webbing stretches between the bony fingers of his hands, each ending in neglected
fingernails. A well-developed, translucent dorsal fin crowns his indisposed facial
structure, while gill slits travel across the sides of his neck, adapted for deepsea
life. His midnight blue scaled skin is covered with a viscid layer of mucus that
stretches over his gaunt frame, barely protected by tattered rags.
