Traits: This dragon is of a deep-water species that requires high pressure to survive. It cannot survive in shallow water more than a few minutes, and its body will collapse if removed from water.
This dragon will take 20-30 years to mature, offsetting its lifespan of up to centuries.
Though this dragon is sapient, it does not have or use word-based language.
Abilities: Distracting Eye. The dragon can use its glowing fins and eyespots in a flare to attempt to disorient attackers.
Eternal Patience. The possession of nearly supernatural patience. The dragon can wait, without need of food or drink, for up to two weeks without growing bored or losing focus.
Hunter's Mark. The ability to "mark" a single target at a time and track them through any body of water. The mark is lost if the target leaves the water.
Intimidate. The ability to impress sensations of growing wariness, foreboding, fear, and the need to flee, the closer they are to their target.
Long Lifespan. Can live for centuries, barring illness or injury.
Telempathy. The ability to communicate mind-to-mind in emotions, sensations, and sonar-based telepathic noises.
Underwater Breathing. The dragon exclusively breathes underwater.
Personality: Ghost Synths name comes from its ghostly appearance and the kind of musical thought that it 'hums' to entertain itself during its long, drifting routes through deep, deep ocean. Its presence is always just a little bit disarming; it feeds on the sense of fear it generates from prey, and indeed it will play with its own bioluminescent profile to hint and suggest a ghostly stalker's presence, here a moment and gone, over and over, until its prey is so terrified that it makes a foolish move that ends the chase.

Ghost Synths is not diabolical, being true to the nature of her birth. She does not automatically class all other life into prey or danger, for she recognizes other sapience when she touches upon it. Because her mind is so alien, however, sea dragons with word-based speech usually only pick up a haunting background sound when they attempt to make contact.

Ghost Synths' favourite sea dragons are those who have a naturally musical tendency. For those, she connects and communicates by offsetting her own baseline to support their speech, and so she makes 'friends' with those who understand to play with her.
