My initial idea for this creature was a giant frogfish, or perhaps a moray eel...
(Cue Lora asking: "Shouldn't you be in salt water?")
But then I thought: Nope, triops!
----------------
As you may already know, Lora is supposed to be a member of the Sisterhood, a group of mermaids that appeared in a Kaza's Mate Gwenna chapter that crossed over with Cryptida...
And just recently, a second KMG crossover-chapter has just begun!
There! Now I'm all caught up with the binge-read!
Fantastic stuff all the way through!
I peeked at the link you provided to see what a triops was.
(I'd figured the etymology right, at least!)
My first thought was "uh-oh! it's the King or Queen of the space trilobytes!"
"Do you play golf, darling?"
(Though this won't be her exact words, but Lora will try to be nice at first!)
(This creature here is a crustacean called a triops though - just much larger than in real life!)
(But strangely, both words taken literally kinda fit too!)

I can't wait to see where this story goes!
Also, thank you for reading so far, and I'm happy to have you onboard for the continuation of the ride!! :-)
