The Koryu subhead was an absolute terror around rocky coasts. Its legs allowed it to hide in rough waters that no normal vessel could survive. Add to that wickedly barbed harpoons along with the most powerful torpedoes of the Neverwar and you have a nautical nightmare.

In 1952, an abandoned shrine was found in the Wakayama prefecture of Japan. This temple, known as Rabu Shrine (羅父神宮), had signs of occupation as late as the 1920s. These documents, including postcards and manuscripts by the priest Sōkū (桑空), were recovered at the site:

An old faded postcard featuring a green-tinted black and white photograph. Near the entrance to a Shintoist shrine, a line of congregants kneel before an enormous insect larva, tall as at least two men. The larva twists into a regal pose, head clad with four imposing horns. It is covered in silken regalia, and holds a variety of amulets in its six limbs. The postcard has a purple stamp atop it, proof of visit to Rabu Shrine as part of a pilgrimage. Below, stamped blue text reads: ル祀ミ育神蟲テニ宮神父羅 (At Rabu Shrine, the insect God is raised and worshipped.)

This is Mariner. He was born completely deaf, which means he gets to enjoy fireworks with all the sparkle and none of the boom. 13/10 (IG: real_marinertheseapuppy)
