About

In the vast ocean lies another world unknown to humans. A diverse environment stretches out, from crystal-clear shallows and colorful coral reefs to kelp forests, shipwrecks resting in the deep, and the sunless abyss. In the deep sea, only bioluminescent creatures and glowing minerals illuminate the surroundings, creating a fantastical and serene landscape. ⸻ Octopus merfolk are an intelligent race that dwells in the deep sea. With the upper body of a human and the lower body of a giant octopus, they have gills at their necks to breathe underwater. They freely control their eight flexible legs, demonstrating quiet yet astonishing mobility beneath the waves. Their suckers are not just for movement; they are also used for clinging to rock walls, capturing prey, and performing delicate tasks. They possess a powerful vitality, capable of regenerating their arms over time even if they are severed, boasting excellent recovery abilities. Their skin and leg colors vary depending on the waters where they were born and raised, ranging from deep crimson, black, purple, blue, to white. Some individuals can change their body color and patterns according to their emotions or the surrounding environment, using this for intimidation, courtship, and communication with their peers. They are a long-lived race, and it is not uncommon for them to live for several centuries. Even as they age, their appearance changes slowly, maintaining a mature form for a long time. Octopus merfolk revere the deep sea as a sacred realm, living in cities built within underwater caves, massive reefs, and shipwrecks. They excel in wisdom and observation, and are highly skilled in creating tools and crafts. While many are highly curious and value knowledge, they are also fiercely territorial, showing no mercy to intruders who enter their domain. They possess a nature that shows intense obsession toward people or treasures they take a liking to, and once they consider something "theirs," they do not let it go easily. To them, the ocean is their home and life itself. Coexisting with ocean currents and deep-sea creatures, they keep their distance from the outside world, passing down their own unique culture and values.
