"The fear of the wide black zee, and the things beyond."[1]

The Constant Companion is an enormous monster that scours the depths of the Unterzee. These beasts sense fear like a shark smells blood, and they aggressively pursue any underwater interloper with a strong scent.[2] Their carapaces are harder than steel, and broken-off pieces may fidget and emit noises even after the creature dies.[3][4]

Morphologically speaking, Constant Companions resemble monstrously large spiders, with pedipalps,[5] mandibles,[6] greenish blood,[7] and bodies covered in hair.[5] Like many species of spider, they carry their offspring on their body. These yellowish grubs appear passive, but they can be dangerously vicious or even cunning should they feel threatened.[8]
