I'm freaking out, this is amazing.

The Large Maw Mermaid, or the more commonly known “Treasure Hoarder”, is a medium sized mermaid found across tropical seas. This mermaid is well documented for gobbling up sunken treasures due its propensity for eating anything it can fit in it’s mouth. Caught specimens are commonly found with bellies full of gems, gold, and other sunken paraphernalia. Its why they are also known by another name, “Neptune’s Purse”.

Oh dude, a weresquid transformation would be TERRIFYING! Let me give this a shot...

Picture it: a beautiful mermaid stares transfixed by the moon, eyes glassy from whatever strange magic has sunk its claws into her, when suddenly a flinch crosses her frame. Small, at first, but rapidly she falls into a near seizure, her body trembling and shaking as limbs flail in all directions, her once vacant expression contorting into a look of sheer pain and terror.

Bones snap, skin peels, the gorgeous, jewel-like scales of her lower half cracking and fluttering away in the tide like shards of pottery as thick, oozing tentacles, covered in viscera like a foul parody of afterbirth, form from the carnage of her body. They, too, flail mindlessly, grabbing at the loose piles of flesh and skin, clutching them tightly with jawed suckers, as if seeking some form of morbid comfort.

She attempts to wail, call out for help, but her voice catches in her throat as something attempts to force it's way up and out of her body. Her neck and cheeks bulge and deform as her bones, reduced to shrapnel by her flailing, are expelled from her body, ripping at her limp, tender cartilage and muscle as they go.

After the last of the slurry of marrow and bile pass her lips, she finds her teeth attempt to follow behind them, but stop halfway, dragging her raw cheeks and jaw flesh behind them. Her chattering quickly becomes an ungodly clack as her teeth fuse together into a black, sharpened prism made not for singing the songs she once loved, but for inflicting pain, with all the horrible efficiency a predator requires. The beak clatters dumbly, wordlessly, tasting the air in preparation for the hunt to come.

Doubling over as the final portions of her transformation take hold, her eyes turn upwards to the night sky once more, the lunar surface reflected in the waters around her. Her eyes dilate, and the mermaid that once was there is gone, replaced with a beast that knows nothing but suffering. As her pupils expand far beyond their normal bounds, swelling like bloated ticks into the eyes of a beast of the deep sea, the monster that was once a maiden roars to the sky that cursed her, a gurgle of simple-minded hunger and fury at the grace denied her, as she returns to the waves, seeking a meal.

The Mariana Trench has gained a new killer tonight, and while she will return to something resembling her old self the next morning, the horrors she will commit will haunt her for the rest of her days.

The sea hungers, and no creature, no beast that swims or drifts along its channels, hungers more than the squid.

I know it's unfair vilification and stuff but it's also a lot of fun to see old media and stuff where people were SO scared of big animals like lions, sharks, crocodiles and wolves were fully expected to just come and eat you the moment you stepped into their territory. In older media we also made that assumption about gorillas and in still older we thought it'd be whales. But some animals that will actually fuck you up got left behind. Boars will kill you and eat you. They're way more likely to do so than any of those other things actually. Hippos, obviously, got off like bandits always being depicted as cute and dopey. And then there's the squids. Not giant kraken size squids. The eight foot squids that hunt in packs and will fuck you up if you fall in the water at night. I can't BELIEVE people slept on that. It's like all they cared about were the huge deep sea ones we never see. The medium size wolf pack squids were right there.

Being creative has been extremely difficult since the election results, but I must persist and not let despair take root. So expect a bunch of pieces of Nereid for a bit because I filled a document of sketches of her and that is a good place to start learning to enjoy making art again.
