Let me explain.One of the first of the great sea creatures, Vakuzo claimed the deepest, darkest rift in all of the seas and oceans of the world. This, in itself, is unremarkable. Badass lairs are a primary concern for all up and coming monster lords. However, Vakuzo had become overly protective of his lair, and it came to the point that he never left it. Instead, he expanded on his natural magical talents and learned to summon and control superior minions. By the time he realized that no other creature was at once large enough and dumb enough to challenge him, he had grown so massively that he was trapped. Instead of resorting to more, conventional, means of escape, Vakuzo decided to rip off one of his shorter tentacles, releasing it into the custody of his favoured tojanida servitors. While not incredible awe-inspiring by itself (other than for its exceptional size), the idea was that the tentacle would eventually regenerate into another full sized Vakuzo. Fortunately for the kraken, his unique nature dictates that though he may eventually have two bodies, he will still have but one mind.So, fast forward to the conference, and a regenerating limb is slowly taking on the form of the real creature. Though the limb remains at almost its original, healthy length, it has become very skinny and sickly looking, as its mass has been cannibalized to become the beginnings of the new body. At its current stage, part of its lower body has formed, including two vestigal tentacles, one short and one long, as well as a tiny beak. While it cannot communicate with most, Vakuzo Jr. can still perceive the world around it, and does manage to speak (in aquan) through its one attending tojanida elder. Occassionally, the tojanida will get confused and mistranslate, but a little squeezing by a giant tentacle usually tends to clear things up in a hurry.( Originally, I conceived that Vakuzo would have ripped out its eye, and placed it in a giant oyster which was dragged around by a lone tojanida minion, but then I noticed Sej's contribution and had to improvise to make it different. In some ways, I like the new idea much more... )</blockquote>
