@pearlrights a fusion for Black abalone and Austral Abalones fusion 

HALIOTIS IRIS

which the requirements for them, via lark is

-a spiked headband and a choker -sparkly flecks in her hair like black abalone has probably some pretty face freckles that look like she got some glitter slapped on her face but not too many. depends on if they look good at the end -pastel goth  so i knew i had to make them hot. 

which is quite a departure from my own idea of what i thought austral and BA’s fusion COULD be, maybe one day you all will see that

Just another mollusk? Actually, the black abalone we now have on exhibit has a remarkable history. It was confiscated from a poacher by California Fish and Game, and we're allowed to display it to help educate visitors about the dangers this species faces in the wild. Due to overfishing and disease, today’s abalone face extinction, and the black abalone is critically endangered, according to the IUCN.
