🌊 Behavior & Habitat

📜 Cultural Myth & Lore

Among the reefbound seers of Trappist-1e, the Abyssal Tidefract is seen as a karmic enforcer — drawn not by scent or sound, but imbalance. It is said to have consumed an entire warship mid-surrender, interpreting unresolved blood debts as bait. A single tooth is considered a sovereign relic. Songs are not sung about it — but sung to it, to ask forgiveness for trespassing.

It swims to balance the wounds we ignore —
A silence so deep, even stars avert their gaze.
