Lantern Squid

A glowing white bulb sits at the heart of this explorer, caged by curved purple bars like a lantern. Behind it, a long body of indigo plates curves back like the shell of a shrimp, edged with bright green. Two red antennae curl from its tail, and from the lantern hang dozens of long purple tendrils with tiny claws at the tips. Pale glowing threads wind through the blue all around it. The pilot inside is Okonkwo Brel, a deep sea scientist who mapped the trenches of three ocean planets. He Upleveled because space was the one sea he had not charted. Now he serves The Capital, scouting safe routes for its new settlements. His special attack is the Beacon Flare. The lantern blazes white, lighting up hidden mines, cloaked ships and lost wrecks for miles. Then his tendrils sweep forward to grab whatever the light reveals.
