Lion's Mane - Tumblr Posts
Jellyfish mermen! ଳ♡ଳ
In order (from left to right, top to bottom):
ଳ Lune the moon jellyfish (aurelia aurita)
ଳ Nocti the mauve stinger (pelagia noctiluca)
ଳ Areli the lion's mane (cyanea capillata)
ଳ Tori the crystal jellyfish (aequorea victoria)
ଳ Roseaureo the purple-striped sea nettle (chrysaora colorata)
ଳ Fei the black sea nettle (chrysaora achlyos)
(more about each merman under the cut!)
ଳ Lune the moon jellyfish (aurelia aurita)
Lune is a sweetheart who loves taking care of cute little animals, like sea slugs. He prefers being with jellies and small slugs than with fellow merfolk, but he knows how to socialize when needed! All he wants is a simple life with those he holds dear to him.
ଳ Nocti the mauve stinger (pelagia noctiluca)
Nocti is an eccentric jelly. As pretty as he may be regarded by other merfolk, he spends his days enthusiastically learning about humans and collecting all sorts of trinkets that fall from the surface! He hopes that someday he'd find a human lover.
ଳ Areli the lion's mane (cyanea capillata)
Areli is a strong, lion-hearted merman with a kind soul. His tattoos are the mark of manhood in his tribe, as he had gotten them in his younger coming of age days. He is currently proving himself worthy to lead their tribe someday!
ଳ Tori the crystal jellyfish (aequorea victoria)
Tori is the parental figure of the protagonists' group. He often shows no other feelings aside soft-spoken ones out of joy for his fellow mermen, or ones out of concern for them. This is why everyone, even Areli, gets worried if he shows even a hint of frustration in his tone.
ଳ Roseaureo the purple-striped sea nettle (chrysaora colorata)
Roseaureo is an online celebrity of sorts in the ocean networking sites of sea creatures. He keeps up with the latest trends, but he is also very reserved with his personal life. His followers admire him for this integrity and entertaining content.
ଳ Fei the black sea nettle (chrysaora achlyos)
Fei belongs to a bloom of elegant merfolk in the upper class of seaciety. Sly and brutally frank, this merman couldn't care less about merfolks he considers shallow! He isn't the most affectionate merman, but his honesty is reliable.
Pardon my scraggly hands, but look! I found stuff!

When bismuth came out of lions mane, he just, the look on his face.
Lion's Mane Mushroom
Hericium erinaceus
A wonderful surprise awaited us while on a hike. Lion's Mane has a very mild flavor and contains bioactive compounds that have been proven to improve brain health. Remember to always forage respectfully and sustainably.
