This is my first entry to my expanding beastiary for this world. Will draw some more soon.
Also, I will likely be creating a test episode revolving around Hydro + Allison fighting one of these things.

Description:
“Beasts that can be the size of cliffs, with a specific appetite for those unlucky few who sail its waters. Gotta admit though… their eyes fetch a pretty suncrest.”
– Hydro Lamonet

Hekilmorka are large sea creatures that dwell near the deepest parts of seas and along rocky shorelines. They are beasts with spiked ridges on their heads and backs, with powerful legs ending in sharp claws. These creatures bodies are composed of rock and stone, giving them incredible durability, and allowing them to blend in with the rocky shorelines. The most notable feature is their large, bulbous eyes that appear to glow with an inner yellow light. These eyes are composed of pure gold and silver, making them highly sought by monster hunters and those bold enough to challenge them. Despite this, few can boast the deed of slaying a Hekilmorki.
A Hekilmorki will attack any vessel or ship they encounter, usually by leaping out of the water to crash into it. Being as strong as they are, this can easily sink a boat or ship within seconds. After which, it uses its two jaws to rip apart the vessel underwater. Even coordinated groups of Aquarian sailors armed with harpoons and even ballistas have a difficult time killing one. When not attacking vessels, they tend to lie hidden beneath rocks along the shores; their only real weakness being their glowing eyes which can be easily spotted from afar, and are able to be blinded. A Hekilmorki has two sets of jaws, one is for grappling onto rocks, ships, and whatever else it may trap in its maws. The first jaw has teeth that curve into the mouth, which hooks anything it captures. The other jaw, set behind the first one and above the tongue, is used to grind and pulverize anything put inside it using its particularly sharp and durable teeth. This allows the beast to consume large amounts of material quickly and efficiently.
Hekilmorka are very territorial and aggressive creatures, especially towards ships. For some unknown reason, they seem to enjoy attacking ships more than anything else. Any vessel that comes close to a coastline occupied by a Hekilmorki is likely to be attacked, so captains often steer clear of such areas. A Hekilmorkas territory is often clearly defined by rocky coats or dark and deep water. Most sailors avoid these waters entirely, and sometimes even change their routes entirely if they come across a dark patch of ocean. If a vessel does run into a Hekilmorki, the crew is most likely doomed unless it has been prepared for battle beforehand.
