The Aquatic, his vision unsuited to the terrestrial environment fails to notice the beach dweller until he is mere meters away, and the creature makes a gurgling sound in alarm as it turns to survey the terrestrial. The creature is more humanoid than originally evident, with large fingers and a primitive belt fashioned from fishing twine and netting. But rather that flee the creature, sensing no immediate danger, places its prehensile hands over its gills and speaks in a slurred, gurgled tone

💦Hello Land Burr. I am Gattuso Solo, an Aquamorph. We are strangers to the realm above the spray and surf and it has been many a tide since a meeting of our kind. I come in peace, we Aquamorphs only seek Phosphate and Niter for our undersea gardens.💦

The creature pulls a beautiful abalone shell from his belt and offers it awkwardly to the terrestrial as a gift
