Intimidate

The ability to impress sensations of growing wariness, foreboding, fear, and the need to flee, the closer the Sea Phoenix is.

Long Lifespan

Sea Phoenixes 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 ability to breathe underwater. Sea Phoenixes are deep-water dragons and cannot survive in shallow water for more than a few minutes.

Abyss-Found glides through darkened waters like a living secret, ancient and unknowable. She speaks in gestures -- drifting close, the slow ripple of bioluminescent light across her wings, the deliberate curl of a tendril. Her presence is soothing, a balm against the pressure of the deep, and many creatures follow her wake as if drawn by some deep instinct. She never hurries, never panics. Her calm is absolute, as if she knows the ocean will shift to meet her rather than the other way around.

But there's more to Abyss-Found than serenity. She is curious -- not in the skittish, investigative way of shallow-dwellers, but in a quiet, recursive fashion. She remembers. She circles back. She observes the same coral bloom night after night, noting the subtle changes. She'll hover for hours above a sleeping pod of fish, simply to understand the rhythm of their dreams. Some believe she's charting a map of the world not in space, but in time -- a living archive of the abyss. Her stillness is not stagnation, but study. And when she does move on, it is always with intent, as though chasing some melody only she can hear.
