Size and Presence Over 1.2 kilometers long Around 200 meters wide at the thickest point Its sheer size resembles a moving undersea landmass, not a typical organism Head Broad, shield-shaped cranium, slightly flattened Lined with three circular rows of glowing eyes, spaced around the head in rings Each eye glows dimly in blue, violet, or green hues Central crest ridged like layered stone or tectonic plates Covered in symbiotic light-corals that trail fine filaments from its crown Body Long and segmented, built from overlapping natural armor plates The plates are rough, matte black to blue-gray, resembling volcanic rock or fossilized shell Veins of crystal run between the plates, glowing faintly ā particularly along its flanks and underbelly Subtle bioluminescent patterns pulse slowly along its sides, tracing ancient paths Entire midsection has recessed gill-slots, opening and closing as water passes through Surface Texture Combination of hardened chitin, mineral crust, and fused coral-like material Covered in layers of marine life: glow-plankton, filter moss, reef colonies The surface is partially encrusted with mirror-like crystal shards that glint in dim light Rear Section Tapers gradually toward the rear with a subtle ridge of spines Ends in six massive, feathered tentacle-like appendages ā soft and flexible These flares are arranged in a circular fan and can spread wide or coil together Each appendage is lined with delicate, hairlike sensory filaments that shift gently in See more
