Bestiarium: Deep Ones
🕑 Added 2025-04-06 20:00:36 +0000 UTC- Hello, my inquisitive ones. This is Lady Cilantra and our regular column on the obvious and improbable. Today we have an outstanding oceanographer of his time, a doctor of ichthyology and an honorary corresponding member of the Metropolitan Academy of Sciences, who authoritatively declares that WE ARE NOT ALONE IN THE OCEAN!
- So, Mr. Hoora, it's obvious that you wanted to talk about mermaids.
- What? This is a vile provocation, and with such assumptions you insult and discredit not only me, but the whole of science as a whole! Mermaids are a myth and a grandiose fabrication, bear this in mind!
- Please accept my sincere apologies, Mr. Hoora. But then who did you want to tell us about?
- About the Deep Ones, of course!
- Sorry?
- Deep Ones. I am not at all surprised that you have not heard of them, although, of course, your ignorance does you no credit. In fact, these creatures don't have an official name in the language of science yet, because I discovered them myself just last year. But, by Flamel, they will be talked about, and for my discovery I may be rewarded... posthumously!
- Please explain, is it because of your discovery? Are you in danger?- We're all in danger, my little fish. Deep Ones don't doze off - remember this the next time you go swimming naked under the moon.
- How do you know this… I mean, tell us more about your discovery, Mr. Hoora.
- Well... Deep Ones are humanoid in their outlines, despite webbed hands and feet, unnaturally wide and pendulous lips, glassy bulging eyes and other features.
- Is that so? And what are they?
- I dare not dwell in detail on their faces and forms, because just the memory of it can make me faint.
- Well, it sounds unpleasant. And do you suspect that they are intelligent?
- I suspect? Ha, yes, I'm absolutely sure of it. These creatures are intelligent, they have an advanced civilization. They live in underwater cities, graze schools of fish, and make intricate jewelry made of gold and whitish metal.
- All this is extremely interesting, but what is the danger here?
- For you personally, my little fish, or for humanity as a whole?
- Well... let's say that for me personally.
- Well, please. Have you ever had a vacation on the coast? Oh, you don't have to answer, I'm sure you've been there. Have you noticed the characteristic features in the appearance of the some locals – those round, slightly bulging eyes; rough, scaly skin; the strange shape of the auricles; the ear-piercing accent... although, where are you? Deep Ones mix with our race. They are especially attracted to lonely bathers at night. Just keep that in mind next time.…
- We are limited in time, Mr. Scientist. But, if I may, one more question: is it true that you were expelled from the Academy of Sciences for anti-scientific statements?
- I refuse to comment on this matter. I will only note that this question simultaneously contains the answer to one of your previous questions about the danger of Deep Ones waters for our civilization. Just think about it.
