The Constant Companion
"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 can sense fear like a shark can smell blood, and they aggressively pursue any underwater interloper with a particularly strong scent.[2] Their carapaces are also harder than steel, and broken-off pieces may continue to fidget and emit ethereal noises even after the creature's death.[3][4] Anatomically speaking, these creatures possess ten legs, frontal pedipalps,[5] powerful mandibles,[6] greenish blood, and bodies covered in hair,[3][5] giving them an appearance comparable to a monstrously large spider. Like many species of spider, the Constant Companion carries its large, yellowish young on its body; these grubs appear weak, but they may display dangerous amounts of combat prowess, and ingenuity, should they face imminent danger.[7]
