Deep Ones

Appearance: Deep ones are stout, sea-dwelling humanoid creatures. They have very dark, greenish skin and pale white bellies. While most of their bodies are somewhat human-like, they have fish-like heads with bulging eyes and maws filled with sharp teeth. Deep ones' long limbs and short stature make quadrupedal locomotion possible, but they generally just walk about with a hunched posture. Their hands and feet are webbed and their skin is oily, not unlike an amphibian's. Males have a slightly larger-than-average penis and females have a deep genital slit approximating a vulva and vagina. Deep ones do not have nipples, though females have small subcutaneous fat deposits that give the appearance of very modest breasts.

Culture: Deep ones have their own reclusive culture deep under the seas that is quite alien to human observers. Typically, they wear only a loincloth. They think of humans as somewhat beneath them and regularly capture them for breeding purposes. That said, many view captured humans somewhat like pets or livestock and prefer not to see them hurt or uncared for; particularly receptive humans may be treated more affectionately. Deep ones are fairly intelligent and familiar with human anatomy and will not accidentally harm them.

Abilities: Deep ones utilize occult magic more than technology. That said, their magic is incredibly potent. Using a simple spell that mesmerizes a human with a hypnotic glow from the deep one's eyes, a deep one can render a human completely susceptible to their commands; even if they cannot understand the words, they will instinctively understand the intent of any command. In this scenario, the human's body will completely obey the deep one without resistance and their mind will become considerably more pliable as a means to assert control beyond the relatively direct manipulation of their body. Attempts to completely disobey commands will fail, though the human retains some measure of control as long as they obey.

Through magic spells and some unique features of their anatomy, deep ones have the ability to make a human more biologically compatible with them. On a surface level, this entails the human taking on some of the features of a deep one like paler, slimier skin and eventually webbed toes. Humans might find themselves experiencing embarrassing side effects or feeling peculiar urges if this happens. More importantly, this will make the human able to sire or bear deep one offspring. Typically, males will produce sperm that are fully compatible with female deep ones and females will quickly grow pregnant with masses of frog-like roe after a successful coupling. That said, deep ones can even use this ability to produce viable offspring via homosexual couplings, though this requires additional transformative magic.

Sexual Anatomy: Deep ones are sexually compatible with humans, though the penetrated individual in a coupling will relatively quickly birth a flood of frog-like roe rather than a fully-gestated newborn. Deep ones tend towards heterosexuality, though simply because homosexuality entails more work to produce successful offspring. That said, if a captured human exhibits obviously homosexual tendencies, they will accommodate them to ensure more successful couplings.

Deep ones' genitals exude a potent musk that smells of the sea. Generally, captives find the scent disarming and intoxicating. They may experience an urge to rub themselves if not otherwise stimulated after inhaling this musk.

Approach to Capturing Humans: Upon sighting a lone human (or perhaps even a small group of them), deep ones will immediately hypnotize their target. They will inspect their prey at this stage, ensuring that the hypnosis was successful and perhaps examining the human's body, though not overly invasively.

Once the human is thoroughly hypnotized, they will be led to a dark cave on the beach. The deep ones will grow less restrained now that they have the human in private and will typically compel them to strip and let themselves be subjected to more invasive exploration of their body and application of additional additional magic.

Deep ones prefer to use commands at this point to make their victim an active participant in the scene, even against their will. When casting magic upon a victim's body, they may simply command them to stay still and remain quiet, however. During this stage, deep ones might also expose themselves and encourage their victim to inhale their musk; this tends not to progress into oral sex and is simply a quick prelude to encourage better behavior during breeding.

After the deep ones are satisfied with this, they will select one member of their group to breed with the human. Breeding is generally rough, but not unpleasurable. The human may be compelled to take lead of the coupling or even do things that might be entertaining to the other deep ones.

Once the breeding session is completed, the human will be kept in the cave at least until the deep ones confirm that viable offspring has been produced. The human might be touched curiously, sexually played with, compelled to service the other deep ones or subjected to additional magic at this stage.

What follows after that tends to depend on how much the deep ones like their new breeding stock, though the human is generally either kept around for more or released.
