#@@#£*;~.. 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 ......~~*#
##@#£*;~.. are dripping with fire. with its song, ..~;*£#@##

#@@#£*;~.. now almost humanoid. although suddenly ..~;*£#@@#
