(This has nothing to do with art class, I just figured a plot thing)

Ruler of the dark watery abyss, it has the form of a large, deformed serpent. It's voice rumbles with the deep cracking of oceanic floor. For many years it had chased one person, changed again and again by time, and yet the beast can still recognize them. If the person of it's fancy were to drift into the open ocean, a sweet, melancholic serenade will bubble up from the depths, slowing coming closer to the surface to greet with a skeletal quaking force. Along the serpent's sides flashes blinding lights, bright enough to see from afar in the pitch-black waters. - a desf of a water serpent

I'm naming this lovely combo (I felt I had too many male OCs so I combined some into this, yes this is science class now.) of OC's Regallion. (the word i got name from is very obv.)

Regallion got bored of swimming in the waters, especially since the chances of the person it/he chases to go out to sea was slim, so only logical next step was humanoid form.

Once acheiving that and gaining an identity on-shore, he had to get a job to live/keep himself busy. Since he often "came across" creature eggs, and since people at this time still feared these beasts, he decided to teach how to care for them. Over the years he became an actual teacher given the job of letting teens care for murderous beings. Fun!
