Beloved
From The Fifth City Wiki
"The Beloved's underside is a network of old and overlaid scars, as though it has been disassembled and stitched together, over and over. The thing is more patchwork than creature."[1]
Beloved are strange fish that roam the depths of the Unterzee, infamous for their grating calls and piercing whistles.[2] Their meat is notably palatable, unlike the repulsive flesh of other zee-monsters,[3] but their bodies may not be a product of nature; rather, Beloved appear stitched, patched up, and reassembled, evoking a suspicion of human fabrication.[4]
