"Myrkhavon is not of the sea; he is the abyss made flesh, and despair made manifest.”
Appearance:
Myrkhavon’s head is streamlined and predatory, designed for efficiency in both water and air. When viewed in profile, it tapers dramatically from a robust, wide cranial base to a pointed snout. This elongation gives it an aerodynamic and hydrodynamic edge, allowing for swift movement and powerful strikes in aquatic hunts. The head measures roughly 7 feet (2.1 meters) in length, from the base of the skull to the tip of the snout, ensuring a formidable presence. The head spans 3.5 feet (1.1 meters) at its widest point near the cranial base, providing a solid structure to house powerful jaw muscles and sensory systems. It narrows down to a sharp, eel-like point, enhancing his ability to cut through water with minimal drag. The head fuses features from marine predators like barracuda, with their elongated snouts, and Payara fish, with their fearsome fangs. Draconic elements such as pronounced ridges and a noble jawline add an otherworldly quality, making him a true apex predator of the sea. The cranial crest rises seamlessly from the back of the skull, extending backward in a smooth, graceful arc. The crest reaches a height of 2.5 feet (0.76 meters) at its tallest point and extends backward by about 3 feet (0.9 meters). Its webbed, semi-translucent design is akin to the spines of a lionfish, with bioluminescent veins running through the membranes. The crest is firmly anchored to the skull by ridges and spines, ensuring stability during high-speed movement. The base of the crest is covered with ganoid scales that blend into the translucent membranes, which pulse with bioluminescent hues of deep blue and green. These colors provide camouflage in dim underwater environments, blending with the flickering light patterns of the sea.
Myrkhavon's horns branch elegantly from the sides of the cranial crest, curving slightly backward in a manner reminiscent of coral formations found in deep-sea environments. Each horn measures approximately 4 feet (1.2 meters) in length, tapering from a thick base to slender, intricately detailed tips. The horns exhibit a fractal-like structure, with smaller, coral-like protrusions branching out along their length. These protrusions mimic the natural growth patterns of ocean coral, adding a unique texture and enhancing their aquatic aesthetic. The base of the horns displays deep blue and green hues, seamlessly blending with the ganoid scales of the head. As the horns extend outward, their coloration shifts subtly, with the tips glowing with a soft bioluminescent light. This glow emits a faint yet captivating brilliance, primarily in shades of blue-green, adding a haunting beauty to Myrkhavon’s appearance. The horns are composed of a tough, keratin-like material with an internal structure that is both rigid and flexible, enabling them to withstand the immense pressures of deep-sea environments. Despite their intricate appearance, they are robust and capable of resisting damage during underwater encounters or territorial disputes. The surface of the horns is textured with fine ridges and grooves, resembling the rough yet intricate surface of real coral. These features add to the hydrodynamic efficiency, minimizing drag as Myrkhavon moves at high speeds.
Myrkhavon’s snout is long and sleek, extending approximately 2.5 feet (0.76 meters) from the base of the skull to its pointed tip. The overall shape is narrow and tapered, bearing strong similarities to the snouts of barracuda or garfish, with an added touch of draconic sharpness. The snout is slightly flattened on the top, with subtle lateral ridges running from the base to just above the nostrils, creating a streamlined profile perfect for cutting through water at high speeds. The snout is covered with tough, ganoid scales that shimmer in deep blue and green hues, blending seamlessly with the dragon’s overall camouflage. Bioluminescent spots adorn the sides of the snout in irregular patterns, emitting a faint glow that can mimic the flickering light of the ocean depths to confuse or lure prey. The jawline is robust and finely articulated, designed for both speed and crushing power. It has a slightly arched upper jaw, lending an imposing aesthetic while also accommodating rows of razor-sharp teeth. Myrkhavon’s lower jaw is slightly broader at the base, tapering into a streamlined curve to match the upper jaw, enhancing its aerodynamic efficiency. The underside of the jaw is smoother, transitioning into cosmoid scales with a soft, iridescent sheen in bright aquamarine and pale silver tones. This coloring enhances Myrkhavon’s camouflage from predators or prey below, blending with the ocean surface light.
Myrkhavon’s jaws are lined with rows of razor-sharp, recurved teeth designed to grip, pierce, and tear through prey. Each tooth measures approximately 4-6 inches (10-15 cm) in length, with the larger teeth concentrated toward the front of the jaws. The upper jaw features two elongated fangs, each 8 inches (20 cm) long, similar to those of a Payara fish. These fangs protrude prominently, curving slightly backward for maximum efficiency in holding prey. Smaller, serrated teeth fill the gaps between the larger fangs, ensuring no escape for slippery or armored prey. The teeth are adapted to Myrkhavon’s aquatic hunting style. Their recurved shape prevents prey from wriggling free, while their serrated edges enhance cutting power. The enamel is reinforced with a keratin-like material, making the teeth resistant to damage from tough shells or scales. Despite their durability, the dragon regularly sheds and regenerates worn or broken teeth, maintaining peak functionality. The teeth are pale ivory, with a slight translucence near the tips, giving them a menacing sheen when viewed in low light. The surface is smooth yet textured with micro-grooves that help channel water away during high-speed bites, reducing drag and increasing precision. Myrkhavon’s tongue is long, flexible, and forked at the tip, resembling the tongues of certain reptiles.

Myrkhavon’s nasal ridges are pronounced and run symmetrically along the top of the snout, starting near the cranial base and tapering toward the nostrils. These ridges are slightly elevated, forming gentle arcs that blend seamlessly with the streamlined profile of its head. The ridges span roughly 2 feet (0.6 meters) in length, extending about halfway down the snout. The nasal ridges are textured with fine, interlocking ganoid scales that enhance durability while maintaining a sleek appearance. These ridges play a role in hydrodynamics by channeling water smoothly along the dragon’s snout, reducing drag and allowing for greater efficiency in high-speed pursuits. The ridges also protect the underlying nasal cavities from external pressure during deep dives. Positioned at the base of the nasal ridges are slitted nostrils, which can completely close when Myrkhavon descends to deeper, high-pressure environments. These nostrils are sensitive to chemical changes in the water, aiding in tracking prey by detecting scent trails or disturbances. Myrkhavon’s eyes are large and almond-shaped, perfectly adapted for low-light vision in the ocean depths. Each eye measures approximately 1.5 feet (0.45 meters) across, emphasizing its predatory prowess and dominance. The slightly slanted positioning of the eyes provides a wider field of vision, aiding in situational awareness and hunting efficiency. The irises are deep shades of aquamarine with hints of emerald green, blending harmoniously with the dragon’s overall coloration. Encircling the irises are faint, bioluminescent rings that emit a subtle glow in darkness, enhancing its ability to lure or disorient prey. The bioluminescent glow intensifies during territorial displays or combat, adding an intimidating aura to its presence. Myrkhavon’s eyes are specially adapted to its aquatic environment. They feature a reflective layer beneath the retina, similar to the tapetum lucidum found in certain deep-sea creatures, enabling exceptional night vision. The pupils are vertically slit, allowing for rapid adjustments to varying light levels, whether in the sunlight near the surface or in the pitch-black depths of the ocean.
Myrkhavon’s ears are fin-like structures positioned just behind its eyes, subtly blending into its sleek head profile. These webbed ears are semi-transparent and span 1.5 feet (0.45 meters) in length, with a width of about 8 inches (20 cm) at their widest point. They taper gracefully toward the edges, adding to the dragon’s streamlined aesthetic. The ears are supported by delicate spines that radiate outward, similar to the structure of a lionfish fin. Thin, flexible membranes stretch between these spines, creating webbing that enhances their hydrodynamic function. The webbing is translucent, with faint bioluminescent veins that emit a soft glow in shades of aquamarine and green, blending seamlessly with the dragon’s underwater environment. Myrkhavon’s gills are located along the sides of its neck, just behind the base of the skull. Each gill slit measures approximately 10 inches (25 cm) in length and is protected by overlapping flaps of ganoid scales to prevent debris from entering during movement. There are five pairs of gill slits, positioned symmetrically to optimize oxygen intake. The inner lining of the gills is bright aquamarine and pale silver, mirroring the dragon’s underside coloration. Bioluminescent patterns trace the edges of the gill flaps, emitting a faint glow that adds to Myrkhavon’s ethereal underwater presence. These glowing patterns intensify during hunting or combat, possibly serving as a lure for prey or a warning to rivals.
The sac beneath Myrkhavon’s throat is a specialized anatomical feature designed to store significant quantities of water. This sac is spherical yet slightly compressed to maintain a streamlined profile and avoid hindering movement. When fully expanded, the sac measures roughly 4 feet (1.2 meters) in diameter, allowing Myrkhavon to carry large amounts of water for various purposes, such as aquatic combat, creating powerful jets, or manipulating his environment. Externally, the throat sac is partially covered by cosmoid scales, matching the bright aquamarine and pale silver tones of his underbelly. These scales are slightly flexible, enabling the sac to expand and contract as needed while providing a protective outer layer. Bioluminescent veins trace intricate patterns across the surface, glowing faintly when the sac is active. The internal lining of the sac consists of reinforced, elastic tissue capable of withstanding high pressure and sudden bursts of force when water is expelled. This tissue is composed of a keratin-like material interwoven with flexible fibers, ensuring durability without compromising elasticity. It is further fortified with layers of a smooth, mucus-like coating that reduces friction and prevents wear from repeated expansion and contraction. The interior of Myrkhavon’s mouth is specifically adapted to handle the pressures of water manipulation. The walls of his oral cavity are lined with layers of reinforced cartilage and durable membranes, creating a sturdy yet flexible structure. These tissues prevent damage from the water pressure during storage or expulsion. The tongue is highly flexible and muscular, enabling precise control of the stored water during suction or release. The palate is ribbed with keratin-like ridges, which help channel water into the throat sac efficiently without spilling or losing pressure. Myrkhavon’s mouth features specialized valves along the inner lining, which open and close to regulate water flow and prevent sudden surges from damaging the reinforced tissues. These valves work in tandem with the throat muscles, ensuring smooth transitions between water intake, storage, and expulsion. The interior surfaces are coated with a mucosal layer, providing a smooth yet resistant texture that protects against abrasion and reduces friction during water manipulation. This coating also helps prevent bacterial buildup, keeping the interior mouth and sac clean and functional.
Myrkhavon’s neck is long and flexible, measuring approximately 8 feet (2.4 meters) in length, proportionate to his 27-foot-tall frame. The neck tapers slightly as it extends from the powerful base near the shoulders to the narrower connection at the skull. This length provides a balance between reach and agility, ensuring that his head can maneuver swiftly and strike with precision. The neck is cylindrical but subtly flattened along the sides, creating a streamlined profile optimized for reducing drag as she moves through water. It features gentle curves that give it an eel-like appearance, enhancing its ability to twist and turn fluidly in pursuit of prey or during combat. The upper side of the neck is covered in ganoid scales, providing a tough yet flexible armor that shimmers in deep blue and green hues, blending seamlessly with the ocean’s shadows from above. The underside transitions into smoother cosmoid scales, with iridescent tones of aquamarine and pale silver that mimic light reflected on the water’s surface, camouflaging him from predators or prey below. Irregularly shaped, bioluminescent spots are scattered along the sides of the neck, glowing faintly in deep blue and green. These patterns can pulse or intensify in brightness during displays of dominance, mating rituals, or as a means to distract and confuse prey. Flanking the sides of the neck are webbed fins with spines reminiscent of lionfish or pinfish.

═══════ ≪ ༺༻ ≫ ═══════
"The deep itself obeys his call. Myrkhavon is no mere dragon; he is the will of the ocean, the harbinger of its endless wrath."
Abilities:
I. Bioluminescent Deception
Inspired by deep-sea creatures like anglerfish, Myrkhavon can emit hypnotic lights from his scales or eyes, creating an eerie glow that lures prey or confuses enemies. The light can also create phantasms of other creatures or illusions of safety. This enables him to hunt without confrontation, draw prey into traps, or disorient attacking forces. The hypnotic light can paralyze weaker minds temporarily. Ineffective against foes who shield their vision or fight blindly. Overuse can briefly dim the glow of his scales, making him vulnerable to ambush. Can be used repeatedly but requires an hour of recovery after prolonged use to recharge his energy reserves.
II. Abyssal Cry
Myrkhavon unleashes a sonic roar that travels through water, creating shockwaves capable of shattering hulls, disabling aquatic life, and disorienting enemies. The roar also stirs the water around him into violent turbulence. The soundwave can travel great distances underwater, serving as both an attack and a warning. The shockwave’s force grows stronger in confined spaces like trenches. Although, it's ineffective in the air, with its power greatly reduced in shallow waters. The defending cry can temporarily dull his senses. It requires several hours to recover the energy needed for another roar.
III. Tidal Singularity
Myrkhavon can create a swirling vortex of water that acts as a gravitational sink, drawing in everything around it—debris, creatures, or entire vessels. At the vortex’s core lies crushing, inescapable pressure. It's highly destructive against groups of enemies or fleets, pulling them into an aquatic “black hole.” Effective for controlling wide areas of battle. The singularity lasts only a few minutes before dissipating, leaving Myrkhavon temporarily drained. He must avoid direct combat until his energy stabilizes. A full day is required for this catastrophic ability to be used again.
IV. Chameleonic Submersion
Mimicking the stealth of deep-sea creatures, Myrkhavon can blend into his surroundings by altering the texture and color of his scales. He becomes nearly invisible in the shadows of the deep. It's perfect for ambushing prey, retreating unnoticed, or stalking enemies. Undetectable by most forms of light or sonar. However, it requires calm and stillness to maintain the effect, rendering him unable to attack while camouflaged. Prolonged use drains his energy. Takes several hours to recover, especially after extended use during high-energy conflicts
V. Apex Ambush
Myrkhavon channels the predatory instincts of creatures like sharks and orcas, launching himself with incredible speed and force out of the water. This leap allows him to attack flying enemies, crush aerial ships, or deliver devastating blows to vessels from below, splitting them in half. The attack is nearly impossible to predict due to its speed and force. His momentum can take out multiple targets in a single strike, and the sheer power can destroy even armored vessels. It requires a deep body of water for maximum effectiveness. The effort temporarily leaves him exposed mid-air, creating a moment of vulnerability before he reenters the water. A 30-minute recharge is required, during which Myrkhavon remains submerged to recover the energy needed for another powerful leap.
VI. Crushing Depths
Inspired by the intense pressure of oceanic trenches, Myrkhavon can summon the crushing force of deep-sea pressure within a localized area. This ability can implode ships, incapacitate creatures, or pin down enemies in an unbearable, invisible grip. It's devastating against armored enemies or structures, and extremely difficult to resist once it takes effect. Underwater, the power amplifies naturally due to existing pressure. Limited to targets within a close radius, requiring proximity. Prolonged use can exhaust Myrkhavon’s reserves of energy. After a sustained use, it takes six hours to restore the energy needed to summon this pressure again.
VII. Tide Manipulation
Myrkhavon commands the tides, summoning massive walls of water or whirlpools capable of swallowing entire fleets. He can redirect ocean currents to create barriers, traps, or devastating tsunamis. This power demonstrates unparalleled control over large-scale aquatic forces, devastating to both land and sea. It’s particularly effective in defending his territory or overwhelming enemies with sheer force. Limited to bodies of water; its effectiveness decreases in smaller water sources like rivers or lakes. Requires concentration, leaving him vulnerable during the summoning. Takes a day to fully recharge, as it expends significant energy to bend the ocean to his will.

The fear he instills before battle disrupts the morale of his adversaries, giving him a psychological edge long before any confrontation begins. His aura of dread reflects his regal arrogance, an unwavering belief in his supremacy as the embodiment of the abyss.
IV. Unyielding Will
Myrkhavon’s resolve is absolute; he is relentless in pursuing his goals and protecting his domain. No obstacle—be it mortal, divine, or elemental—can deter him once his mind is set. This unwavering determination makes him a force of persistence, capable of outlasting opponents and executing plans over centuries. His patience ensures victory, even in long conflicts
V. Intellect of the Watery Realms
Myrkhavon possesses an unparalleled understanding of both freshwater and saltwater domains. From knowing the labyrinthine paths of river systems to the hidden trenches of the deep ocean, he has mapped the entirety of aquatic terrains within his vast mind. This allows him to navigate and manipulate any water-based environment to his advantage. His vast intellect gives him a strategic edge, as he can exploit the specific traits of his environment, whether it’s using the deadly stillness of a swamp or the crushing currents of the open sea.
Weaknesses:
I. Reliance on Water
Myrkhavon’s abilities are deeply tied to water, making him far less effective on land or in dry environments. His influence diminishes significantly away from his domain. Land-based enemies who lure him into dry areas can exploit this limitation.
II. Isolation
Myrkhavon’s aloof and solitary nature keeps him distant from allies and unwilling to form bonds with others who aren't his rider(s), even with other oceanic creatures. His isolation makes him vulnerable to coordinated attacks and blinds him to external events beyond his realm.
III. Arrogance
Myrkhavon’s belief in his supremacy blinds him to the capabilities of lesser beings. This arrogance can make him dismissive of potential threats. Underestimating opponents could lead to strategic missteps, leaving him exposed.
IV. Bound to the Waters
As a creature of the water, he struggles in brightly lit or shallow waters, where his abilities and camouflage lose potency. Enemies who confront him in such areas can reduce his effectiveness and force him to retreat.
V. Energy Intensive Powers
His strongest abilities—like creating maelstroms or summoning tidal waves—require significant energy and long recovery periods. He is susceptible to counterattacks during cooldown phases when he is temporarily drained.

Kin:
I. Thalassendra - The Tempest Matron (Deceased)
Myrkhavon’s mother and the source of his elemental powers, Thalassendra embodies the fury of oceanic storms. She is said to have been born from the union of a primordial sea spirit and the first great tempest. A massive, translucent dragon with thundercloud-like fins and scales that glisten with lightning. Her eyes shimmer with storms yet to be unleashed. Ferocious, unpredictable, yet fiercely protective of her kin, Thalassendra represents the chaotic power of the sea. She gave Myrkhavon his unyielding spirit.
II. Brinekorr – The Deep Hunter (Alive)
Myrkhavon’s elder sibling, Brinekorr is a stealthy predator of the abyssal plains. While not as powerful as Myrkhavon, Brinekorr is a master of ambush tactics and a cunning strategist. Sleek and dark, with bioluminescent patterns running along his body that mimic the movements of prey to lure victims closer. Cunning, solitary, and pragmatic, Brinekorr is both an ally and a rival to Myrkhavon, their bond rooted in a shared respect for survival.
III. Varelyth – The Tideweaver (Alive)
Myrkhavon’s younger sibling, Varelyth is a manipulator of currents and tides, gifted with powers of water magic and a mischievous streak. She is seen as the unpredictable counterpart to Myrkhavon’s calculated nature. Iridescent and vibrant, her scales shift in color like the reflections on shallow water. Her body is sleek and serpentine, perfect for weaving through tight underwater spaces. Playful, capricious, and curious, Varelyth tempers the family’s stoic reputation with her vibrant personality, though her mischievous behavior often tests Myrkhavon’s patience.
IV. Nytheris – The Whispering Siren (Alive)
Myrkhavon’s enigmatic half-sister, Nytheris blends the traits of dragon and siren. She uses her haunting voice to manipulate creatures, both mortal and marine, to do her bidding. Slender and elegant, her scales shimmer like the surface of moonlit water, and her fins resemble delicate, translucent wings. Alluring, secretive, and cunning, Nytheris is both an ally and a potential threat, as her ambitions often clash with Myrkhavon’s dominion.
V. Abyssarok – The Maw of the Trenches (Deceased)
Myrkhavon’s distant ancestor, Abyssarok is a colossal, ancient dragon believed to be the progenitor of all abyssal creatures. His legend has been passed down through generations as a symbol of endless hunger and primal force. Larger than any known creature, his form is skeletal and encrusted with coral and deep-sea growths, his eyes glowing with ancient fire. Wrathful, primal, and enigmatic, Abyssarok embodies the ancient, untamed forces of the deep. Though long dormant, his legacy influences Myrkhavon’s power and instincts.
Many other relatives. Yeah. He has a lot of distant kin.

Backstory:
The Birth of Myrkhavon
Myrkhavon's story began in the Abyssal Maw, a colossal trench buried deep within the ocean, where even the gods dared not tread. It was said that the Maw itself was alive. A living vortex of shadows and crushing pressure from its core, Myrkhavon emerged. Born during a cataclysmic alignment of stars that made the waters churn in upheaval. It's said he wasn't a mere dragon but the embodiment of the abyss itself. His first breaths carried the rumble of tectonic plates and the hum of the abyss’s eternal currents. The waters that birthed him carried ancient power, granting him dominion over the tides, the currents, and the secrets buried far beneath the surface. From the moment of his birth, he was destined to reign as the protector of the deep.
The Period of Life: Myrkhavon's Reign
For centuries, Myrkhavon guarded the depths with an unyielding will. He forged an empire beneath the waves, becoming a figure of myth and terror. Sailors whispered legends of his shadow crossing beneath their ships, the pressure of his presence snapping hulls as if they were twigs. Entire fleets vanished into oblivion, drawn into whirlpools that bore his mark. Those who escaped carried tales of glowing eyes in the darkness and an unearthly roar that churned the ocean itself.
Myrkhavon’s power extended beyond the physical realm. He was said to carry the knowledge of the ocean’s deepest secrets—ancient ruins, lost civilizations, and forgotten treasures. This knowledge, however, weighed heavily upon him, leading to periods of solitude where he retreated to the Abyssal Maw to brood and contemplate. Though feared and respected by all creatures of the sea, Myrkhavon’s reign was not without challenge. Rival dragons and meddlesome mortals attempted to disturb his dominion, but all who dared fell to the wrath of the abyss.
Myrkhavon’s connection to the abyss made him eternal yet isolated. His intelligence and control were unmatched, but his solitude shaped him into a being of cold, calculated power. Over time, he became less a dragon and more a myth—an entity whispered of in cautionary tales and prayers to ocean gods.
