The Blind Cave Hippocampus

Image Description: A drawing of a hippocampus that looks like a fetal horse on the front and a cave salamander on the back. The image is surrounded by notes on the creature. The notes read:

The dark spots are vestigial eyes that can sense changes in light.

The textured feet help it grip wet rocks.

Blood vessels, bones and organs are visible through the hippocampus’ thin hide. A layer of mucus offers some protection to its sensitive skin, but they are rarely out of the water for long and cannot tolerate direct sunlight.

They have no teeth

It breathes clouds of heavier than air gasses that it uses to kill its prey. This is an instinctive reaction they cannot be trained out of. Anyone attempting to handle them must use safety gear.

Once its prey is dead it drags the carcass into the water and wedges it under a rock until it has decayed enough to be mostly liquid. Then the cave hippocampus slurps up its meal.

A Blind Cave Hippocampus can go several years between meals, much longer than other species of hippocampus.

An explorer approaches a pool containing a cave hippocampus. Protected by a respirator and bottled air, the human has little to fear from the creature. The Blind Cave Hippocampus will rarely physically attack a conscious target out of fear of injury.

Another monster from the Pool Kelpie discussion. Remember the best way to avoid dying in a cave is to stay out of caves.

It's increasingly clear that microplastics are everywhere, but scientists are still learning about how bad the health implications could be. Now a new study in mice shows these tiny bits of plastic can be passed from a mother into their unborn offspring, where they persist beyond birth. Previous studies have shown that micro and nanoplastics (MNPs), smaller than grains of sand, can pass into the placenta. This latest research finds the tiny plastic fragments can remain in the growing mouse pup for at least two weeks after birth, according to this data.

Interpretations of all the Death Painting Wombs in fetus form based on what little we've seen from the anime + Death Painting Yuji :)

In this AU Yuji would take on a more humanoid appearance even as a fetus. Since he would have been produced from a bit of Sukuna's DNA plus Jin Itadori's (who I hc as being a descendant of Heian Era Sukuna's brother) while he is in fetal form he would have more of Heian Sukuna's features. Those would fade or fall off as he ages, and rather than incarnating like his brothers he would grow like a normal human. This could be rapid growth or gradual, I haven't decided yet. I want the cast to interact w/ Yuji in his little ugly baby form so I'm leaning towards rapid aging.

For how he'd look when he's more grown up, I think that he would be able to pass as a human. If he eats Sukuna's fingers in this AU it would activate the dormant transformation process and he would start to look more like Heian Sukuna. That way Yuji would be forced to look less and less human with every finger he ingests in exchange for power.
