Giant Mermaid

Anko is a playful and mischievous mermaid. She is rather chaotic and known to lie a lot. She isn't really evil but she is easily bored and loves to have fun, not caring if it's at the expense of others. That can range from playing dubious jokes to sowing discord. Her voice is beautiful and alluring.

Anko's job is officially to guard the island of the "mysterious temple" you can see on the upper part of the map. But that's a boring task so she don't care much about it and usually prefers to wander away. Actually the temple has already been defiled and pillaged several times. ^^

Anko is talkative and very curious. She will converse a lot with other creatures, even with prey, after making sure they can't escape. Like all mermaids she can breathe in water and is an excellent and very fast swimmer. While she can't walk on ground, she can still haul herself up there which is always very surprising and increases her area of "action" by a lot.

Her methods of hunting are to either to attack treasure-hunter's ships that sail her river by shaking them and making the crew fall in to the water, or to place herself under bridges, like the one leading to the island she guards, and open her mouth wide to show adventurers a good view of her throat, as a mean to destabilize them. If these methods don't work she can extend her sticky tongue a bit to catch her prey, like a frog. Anko really enjoys feeling her victims struggle and thrash about in her belly as she digests them, so after a good meal she will just drift away on her back, floating on the surface while taking a nap to avoid drowning her prey.

Unlike Crisis, there is no possible hope once she catches you but Anko is also less voracious and feeds a lot on fish. Crisis and Anko know each other but they are not really friends. Crisis sees the mermaid as a bit too chaotic to be reliable. For example she won't leave Léa alone with her without a very good reason.
