She’s got a huge frill now, with which she uses light and color pulses like a cuttlefish to draw in prey.
She started as a small guppie type mermaid in the shallows, living among a shoal of others like her.
Long story short, she felt a draw to the depths, where she found herself feeding on a strange, massive corpse with the other feeders in reverence of the Whalefall.
She grew to be enormous, devouring the rest of her school, wanting for more gifts from The Endless Sky. Her brain was addled by the darkness.
She’s now one of many gods of the Depths. They worship her as The Deep Star, because of her colorful crest that pulses with colors the creatures of the dark had never seen before.
She lives alone in an abandoned sunken Ladder facility. Well, kind of alone. She has lots of eggs to take care of there. She’s a proud mum 😌

Giant phantom jellyfish 990m (3,200 ft) beneath the surface in Monterey Bay @mbari-blog (Stygiomedusa gigantea) - Footage by MBARI
●▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬๑۩۞۩๑.▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬●
Commonly known as the giant phantom jelly, this jellyfish is a part of the monotypic genus of deep sea jellyfish, Stygiomedusa. This is in the Ulmaridae family. With only around 110 sightings in 110 years, it is a jellyfish that is rarely seen, but believed to be widespread throughout the world, with the exception of the Arctic Ocean.
The Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute's remotely operated underwater vehicles have only sighted the jelly 27 times in 27 years. A study conducted by the Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, focusing on four Stygiomedusa gigantea present in the Gulf of Mexico, revealed information regarding the wider distribution of this species. S. gigantea is thought to be one of the largest invertebrate predators in the ecosystem. It is commonly found in the ocean's midnight zone, reaching depths as deep as 6,665 metres (21,867 ft).
