##@#%%/--¨ on the ocean floor, a dangerous and ¨--/%%#@##
@#%%%%/--¨ caustic and sweet sweet thing, it ¨--/%%%%#@
#%/--¨¨¨¨¨ glows, it lures you closer. a creature! ¨¨¨¨¨--/%#

###@#%/--¨ it's almost otter-like, but like lava, ¨--/%#@###
#@@#%%/--¨ a liquid shaped like a living thing, ¨--/%%#@@#
@#%-¨¨¨¨¨¨ and when it raises an arm, its fingers ¨¨¨¨¨¨-%#@

##@#%%/--¨ now almost humanoid. although suddenly ¨--/%%#@##
##@#%%/--¨ it all liquifies completely, now just a ¨--/%%#@##
