The Frilled is one of the most mysterious Ocean manamo alive. They typically inhabit the deeper parts of the ocean and don't often come up, leading them to be relatively unknown: many people not even knowing they exist, with all our current knowledge and habits coming from husbands that come to the surface. The people who actually HAVE seen them often refer to them as "The Lamia with gills." It is quite easy to see where this misconception comes up: Frilled's certainly have a long tail, often longer than most Lamia's, however, they have no visible scales, and their eyes are noticeably bigger, probably to help with the darkness. They also seem to have an elastic jaw, able to stretch it wider than a normal mouth.
For their feeding habits it is most often agreed that they seem to have a preference to calamari, often being sighted from squid-fishers. even more evidence to support this is from Scyllas and Krakens who tell tales of a shadowy enemy trying to "eat them" usually the most that happens though is that this this "Enemy" seems to simply pleasure the hapless females and leave. Rarely Frilled's do come near the shallows however, but they often seem to be suffering, apparently they don't do so well at lower water pressure. They will however seem to bear this pain in order to find a husband.
Almost every husband to a Frilled has the same story of how they're courted. When they're alone, swimming, waiting at a dock. Or simply walking by the shore, the Frilled often break the surface and appear like a woman in distress: their pain often being very real due to them breaking the surface, something that completely defies their biology. When he heads over to them concerned, they seem to tell him their pain is physical and emotional: they've never had someone to love and they want him. The man always seems touched by this tail and immediately mates with them.
When they mate, the Frilled often tries to wrap her tail around the man, but their tail isn't meant to coil around anything, so the bet they can do with it and lightly caress him with it. During mating it seems like they put their jaws fully to use, often taking in his entire penis with their mouth, sucking until he releases. They will continue to mate with the man for hours often appearing like they were never in pain coming to the surface. After mating they will then take their new husband into deeper waters, only stopping when they ask them to leave them close to civilization.
After mating The Frilled takes her man to a dark cave, often the only light being from underwater lanterns his wife brings for home, seemingly keeping him trapped. He will never need a reason to leave however: every possible need he may have his wife will inexplicably bring to him, food, gold, whatever he wants, she will come in and drop it in front of him, often offering no explanation as to where they got it. They often don't show emotion, the only times the husbands can safely say she's happy is when he's either fucking her, or he thanks her for doing so much for him. Such a happy expression, the husbands say: I worth cherishing forever.
Oddly: there are some Frilled's that after some time of being with their husbands, can seem to stomach the low pressures and can easily live near the shallows. The cause for this is primarily unknown, but most people tend to think and agree that this is most likley the Spirit energy from their husband helping their bodies adapt to shallower waters. However: most Frilleds will not particularly want to head to near-surface waters either way, and it is often though their husbands wants that they will go.
(Alright, since the Frilled shark is a relatively unknown species, I decided to make it a relatively unknown species, leaving the finer details to your imagination. If you hlike it then please leave thought and helpful criticism down below)
