Siren by kalriaa

Legends, Myths & Fairytales. The world is full of these stories, specifically those told of mythical, magical creatures that dwell in the ocean - Sirens. Sirens are described as the most hauntingly beautiful and dangerous beings of the sea. They are rumored to lure sailors with their hypnotising songs. Ever wondered why? Our story begins in a small coastal town nestled between mountains and the shimmering, endless ocean. There, a young woman by the name of Marina resides. Marina's tale doesn't start as a Legend, Myth, or Fairytale, but as a rumor. Known for her celestial beauty and captivating voice, her destiny is not one she chose but rather one that was forced upon her.

Subnautica Into The Deep (My Creature Ideas) by Landiahazak

After crashing on planet 4546B, I found myself having to do everything in my power to survive this dangerous world. As the years went by, I began documenting the indigenous lifeforms that I had learned to coexist with. This journal holds the studies I've made of my fellow inhabitants of 4546B, a world I've learned to call home. Note: All pictures and videos belong to their respective owners, though most will have been made by myself. Also for those of you who don't know what Y/N means, it stands for Your Name.
