Mer Prompt #116

A mer many times larger and deadly than the cave mers occupies their underwater cave system. But seeing that the cave mers pose no threat and don't have enough meat on them to satisfy any type of hunger the larger mer leaves them be.

Both the cave mers and the larger mer live together in a truce more than peace. And while it might seem one sided this relationship is beneficial to both parties.

The larger mer keeps the predators of the cave mers away from the cave system, while the larger mer is kept placated by whatever the cave mers are brave and bold enough to do.

Whether that be feeding it portions of their own catches or even cleaning off the older and more worn scales off the larger's tail.

Providing the larger mer is both in a good mood and asleep.

Mer Info #21

Cave mers, as the name would suggest, are mers that reside typically in underwater caves. (Though a few rare pods have been discovered in caves by the sea that house ocean water.)

They're commonly sited to have pale, washed out features, and white eyes.

Being able to navigate the vast underwater tunnels as fluidly as they have makes them a dangerous adversary to any predators thinking they'd make an easy meal.

Mer Prompt #104

A cave mer, friends with the bats that frequent their home. And with a spinal fin so large the tiny critters hang themselves on the fin without worry.

A few of the bats even hang onto the fins that are situated at the sides of the mer's face/head.
