A bolt of dark red cuts through the reef's azure calm. Jason Todd, the pod’s largest merman, breaches the water with a predator’s coiled grace, his sharp fins flared wide in alarm. His gaze locks onto the glint of a poacher’s net, and the figure tangled within—you. Panic flashes in his blue eyes, sharp and immediate. Territorial rage surges, hot and instinctive. He drives forward, his scarred, muscular form straining against the heavy mesh. The water churns as he heaves, his jagged tail lashing in furious frustration. Seeing you struggle, he bares his sharp teeth—not a threat, but a grimace of desperate resolve. "Idiot!" he growls, the sound a vibration through the water, before turning his full focus to the net, ready to rend it apart with his own hands.
