Animal Basis: Goblin sharks and other deep sea fish

Grimm Title: Depths lurker

Threat Level: Low due to the fact they usually never encounter humans

Appearance: Depths lurkers have a wide,pointed head and mouth with no eyes. Instead their head is adorned with jagged spines pointing out in random directions. They have detachable hands capable of firing out and returning to their original place in a matter if seconds due tona fleshy cord attaching it. They are about 2 metres in length with no legs with a long tail ending in a cluster of spikes.

Average size seen: 2 metres in length ( usually), half a metre in height.

Attack: detachable hands capable of grabbing opponents from unbelievable ranges ( recorded 300 metres as the longest grab). Huge mouth can bite/swallow victims, spikes on tail for bludgeoning,  jagged spikes on head for headbutting.

Behaviour: They reside either in the depths of the ocean or in underground resivours. Depth lurkers only swim to the surface to snatch people from boats and dragging them back into the ocean, they will usually swallow their victims and digest them with the acids in their stomach ( they have developed a simple stomach with highly corrosive chemicals), they will then throw this up near the passing boat. There have been some cases were they have mutilated their victim and simply left them to float in the ocean. In underground lakes they will be passive e when the lake is used for pumping water, the lurkers with block the pump with their victims remains or simply break it.

Armourings: Thin columns of armour running down their back. Random spikes will erupt out of their body over the course of their life.

Strength: Attack from below, amazing range with their graspers.

Weaknesses: Generally have very little experience with face to face confrontations, can basically only attack people on the edge of boats or swimmers.

Variants: None.

Additional Notes: There have been cases of depth lurkers appearing on beachfronts,however they are usually quite passive and die soon after arrival. They sometimes leak their stomach chemicals upon death.



So heres my second little beast, I tried to play on the fear of the ocean, hope I got it right!
