I think the water ghouls are based off different sea creatures. That’s not obscure but I think it’s not just sharks.
I see Rain as based off a spotted Eagle Ray
Dew was an Axolotl (then when he became fire he evolved more into a Salamander)
Mist is an eel (I can’t decide what type)
Delta was a Manta Ray before he became a Quint Ghoul
River is a Lemon Shark
Lake is a Black Tipped Reef Shark
Chain is an angler fish
I LOVE SEA CREATURE GHOULS!!!
ive always been so intrigued by water ghouls that are connected to lake and sea, and i love it even more when they're connected to specific creatures and animals.
axolotls, rays, sharks, ANGLER FISHHHHH!!!
i've never been able to settle whether rain is more sea-like or more lake-like, but i remember someone saying a loooong time ago that rain was sea and dew was lake (please lmk if you know who it was) and that just made so much sense in the way that they explained it. despite that argument, rain has always been a siren to me, a creature in the fog to lure wanderers to their death. i love creepy ghouls, creepy ghouls my beloved.
but you mentioned that mist was an eel, and what about a ribbon eel!?
there's two different types that i think are gorgeous creatures. there's the blue ribbon eel and it looks like rainbow road from mariokart to me, but there's also the ghost ribbon eel and it looks like lace through the water, or even chiffon. and the way they move through the water is mesmerizing, they seriously look like ribbon twirling in the wind :D
(pics of both under the cut because eels are eels and eels are a little gross no matter what)
