"Rods of steel run through the Boundling's inflamed, swollen flesh. Its body had warped to fit its cage; even its red eyes are distorted, pulled out of alignment by the band across its face."[1]

Boundlings are unfortunate fish bound by metal cages and rods, similar in construction to the devices that torment Bound-Sharks.[2] Their bodies are so distorted that it's unclear what type of fish they were originally, but they seem to resemble extremely large, warped tuna.[3]

As with the Bound-sharks, the imprisonment of the Boundlings is most likely the work of the New Sequence, in an operation headquartered at the Grand Geode.[4] and also manage a shark-nursery there.[5] It is unknown precisely why they so torment the poor fish, but as with Bound-sharks it may have to do with inducing a feeling of pathos or otherwise increasing a Sequencer's vulnerability to the Dawn Machine.
