RANDOM MONSTER FACT!!!!

In Japanese Myth "Otohime" or "Toyotamahime" is the name of the princess of Ryūgū-jō, the under sea palace owned by Ōwatatsumi aka Ryūjin. They are members of the species of yokai called Wani, essentially shapeshifting water dragons. The Wani have immense power over water and are essentially the gods of the sea, Ryūjin himself being the greatest of their kind was their king. Ryūjin was powerful to the point that any human who gazed upon his entire body at one time would instantly die, because he was so large that his body alone is more than any mortal is meant to see in their life time. However despite being dragon gods of the sea, the Wani had a very similar social structure to humans and it was not unheard of for a Wani and Human to fall in love.
