Abyssal Otters are curious, mischievous fey creatures that thrive in the lightless depths of Crius’s vast oceans. Far beneath the sun’s reach, these playful beings race through the inky blackness, their sleek forms illuminated by clusters of bioluminescent tendrils. These glowing appendages serve as more than mere decoration—they help the otters navigate, lure unsuspecting prey, and communicate with one another through intricate flashes of color and pattern. Though they lack a spoken language, their dazzling light displays convey complex messages with ease.

Each Abyssal Otter treasures a Pressure Pearl, a rare gem found only in the ocean’s deepest trenches. These pearls grow larger with increasing depth, making the size of an otter’s pearl a mark of prestige—proof of their strength, skill, and daring. More than status symbols, these pearls act as arcane foci, helping the otters channel their innate magic despite being so far from their home plane, the Twilite Drift.

But the depths hold danger as well as wonder. Lurking in the shadows are the fearsome Lumipines, voracious predators drawn to the otters' shimmering lights. Yet, the Abyssal Otters remain undeterred, their radiant games and glowing conversations a testament to their resilient, playful spirits in the silent, eternal twilight of the deep.
