Decessen
Decessen
Decessen are a squid-like decapod that live in oceans around volcanic reefs. Mid-teir predators, Decessen are masters of camouflage, blending seemlessly into their environment until unwary prey comes within its reach, only to be snatched up in the Decessen's lightning fast strike and crushed to death in its relentless suckered grip. These unique marine creatures can grown to tremendous size, some even large enough to crush an entire ship in its tentacles. Despite their fierce reputation, they are generally peaceful unless provoked, however, the Nurse Jellies that tend them are quite protective of their host.
While it is not fully understood, the smaller jellies seem to nest inside the cavities formed by the Decessen's suckers along its tentacles and feed on the remnants of the Decessen's prey. When some poorly understood threat signal goes out, nurse jellies quickly leave their nest, spreading out in a protective cloud around the Dressen, and attacking threats with their poisonous tendrils.
