🪼🦭🪸

"While most sea monsters are extremely illusive and violent- Chantara is frequently found in the deep waters around a small sea life conservation center, seemingly drawn there by the divers. It was supposed to be a temporary location- but the opportunity to research a sea monster and the accompanying life it brought was a miracle that changed plans. Being the most well documented and well known, Chantara has sorta become the unofficial mascot of their efforts. She appears to be a gentle giant, theres no known record of her attacking anything on purpose or accident. While various sea creatures follow her she never pays any mind to them, as though they weren't even there.

Unbeknownst to the world, most, if not all sea monsters are guardians of the sea. Protectors of its ecosystem and the many balances to be upheld inbetween. They tend to attack most threats- the biggest threat currently being the land dwellers poisoning the waters. Chantara is taking a more investigative approach, and is more so "supervising" the divers and trying to figure out why they do the things they do, and they just might seem to share a common goal.

She wasnt always as peaceful as she is now. Lost to history is a Chantara who also brought hell upon civilizations alongside every other serpent and colossus. But just for now, she will see if theres something potentially worth sparing."
