A long time ago, the Darkness elected eight heirs. One of them was born from wet depths of liquid darkness, the fences of the first benthic regions where dim star-light dared not to venture. From cold space the hands of the dual cavern were raised, and Subta'Tal was born from the mixing of waters — cosmic ones and liquid water, a primordial genetic soup. Flowing in the fractals of the dark dimension, his presence control the moon's positioning, the tides, the stormy rains which comes from the winds of omen, it can cut the net of the sailor, trap the eye of the storm to use the deadly phenomena, equalling the crushing pressure from the ocean bed to the feeble gravity of one drifting through vacuum. Lord of the cosmic tides, whom holds and release the pulse of the endless cavern, it received a name as 'Devil Fish', or Rinchin, "El Pez Diablo". Hiding where few to no life can make it in the ocean, in conditions of hypoxia, or in atmospheric limits, where only tardigrades can live, it descends upon a summoning, but it's rare presence often requires a price: a heavy bounty.
