Drowned Regret of the Abyssal Trench

2 hours ago by Admin - Monsters

Emerging from the depths where light fails and the pulse of the ocean is but a whisper, this creature is a harbinger of sorrow and despair. Its form is a grotesque amalgamation of shadows and the forgotten vestiges of drowned souls, shrouded in tattered vestments of waterlogged fabric. Glowing, hollow eyes pierce through the darkness, harboring the weight of countless regrets. This entity prowls the abyssal trenches, luring those burdened by their unresolved remorse into its clutches, promising solace yet delivering doom. When it manifests in the wake of turbulent waters, the air grows heavy with a haunting melody that resonates within the hearts of its victims, compelling them to confront their deepest fears.
