Physiology: Gobul is a uniquely-evolved leviathan who is reminiscent of anglerfish, stingray, and pufferfish, but also has traits found in catfish, mainly the tentacles on his chin. His body is covered in purple scales, and a bright bioluminescent lure dangles from his forehead. He possesses a gargantuan mouth filled with equally formidable teeth. His back features an array of retractable spines, and his tail is tipped with quills which are capable of inflicting paralysis if touched.

Behavior: Gobul is often relatively passive until provoked. He spends most of his time lying under the river bed, exposing only his whiskers, to disguise himself as a common plant. While he tends to stay in water, he does sometimes climb up onto land, even if he's not chasing prey.

Abilities: Gobul's massive mouth and throat means that he can swallow prey almost as large as himself completely whole. One of his dangerous moves while underwater is a large whirlpool, which acts like a vacuum, sucking anything from the swimming herbivore Epioth to hunters near the attack range. His lure can violently emit blinding flashes of light to disorient prey to make for an easy meal. When enraged, he is capable of puffing out his body like a balloon to appear more opposing. Gobul can use the plant-like whiskers on his chin and natural camouflage abilities to blend into the river floor and remain undetected by prey.

Why he is my least favorite?
-pros: he should have been in Risez and he would personify the Shachihoko yokai from Japanese Mythology
-in underwater, he is a complete troll.
