Accept my humble offer of an idea for a deep merfolk
The information in that video is not entirely true. Humans have only captured juveniles, that part is true, but it means that we’ve only physically caught juveniles and studied them more in-depth as a result, but those sightings would be of adults. It’s why they’re named after their big fins and not their huge t-posing arms, those of younger ones don’t stand out like that. The one in that video (and in some other videos and photos that you can find around online) is extremely unlikely to be anything but an adult. It’s technically not fully confirmed that those and the juveniles are actually the same species because you cann’t be that sure when you don’t have anything from the big ones to compare to the small ones besides a handful of images. But if they’re not the same, they’d just most likely be very close to the species they’re currently classified as. And, regardless of that, we can still be pretty sure they’re adults. We really don’t know much about them, but that’s common for a lot of species, including some that we think of as “more normal”, especially in the ocean. We may still learn a lot about them, and i hope we do.
That said, i think they’re fascinating, but if i saw one of those in real life i might still just die instantly because my brain would not know how to deal with seeing that.
[ID: a picture of annabelle cane from the Magnus Archives. Annabelle is a slender black woman with her hair styled in a love Mohawk and dyed platinum blond. She has gold jewelry on her ears and eyebrow and has gold glasses and is wearing black pinstripe pants and black shirt with puffy sleeves and red suspenders. She has gold painted nails and is holding a black vintage camera with a cracked lense. On the right side of her head is a mess of cobwebs covering a hole from which spindly spider legs are protruding.]
The ghosts of Crimson Peak all fit within the style of the film but are different in the way they are categorized by three different colors: red, black, and white. Each color has its own meaning for the fate of the ghost after death … Red ghosts are people who are trapped at Allerdale Hall. Black ghosts are people who choose to stay. White ghosts are people who choose to leave.
