Mesmer

The Mesmer is a small, colorful fish with three design patterns; its four large skin panels are bluish white, and are capable of emitting a green bioluminescent glow at night, with dark violet stripes, and are surrounded by a thin translucent blue film. The patterns on these panels radiate and ripple when the creature is mesmerising its prey.

The Mesmer's body is ridged, shimmers purple, and ends in two small teal-coloured flippers in place of a tail, which it uses to paddle itself through the water. Its head is bulky and speckled with white dots, ending with a teal maw. Behind its head, right above and below, are two smaller blueish fins. Its binocular eyes feature horizontal "S" shaped pupils, and yellow sclerae.

When attacking, the Mesmer's head opens up, revealing its soft, slimy body, and four pink stalks topped with sharp teeth. These stalks surround its true toothless mouth.

The Mesmer is capable of manipulating the minds of others, persuading them to come closer before attacking. It can also be seen using this behavior in self-defense against other larger fauna, fauna of the same size, or even against its own kind. It will also use this as a hunting strategy to catch small fauna.

It should be noted that if a Mesmer is killed while using its hypnosis on a creature its hypnosis will not cease, and will continue until they are jolted in some form.
