Mermaids of the Deep: The Rise of Ursula, Queen of the Abyssal HerringUrsula, Queen of the Abyssal Herring

Real Name: Ursula

Species: Mermaid

Age: Unknown (appears to be eternal)

Occupation: Ruler of the Abyssal Herring, Lord of the Dark Reef

Ursula is the undisputed ruler of the Abyssal Herring, a kingdom of twisted, nightmarish creatures that lurk in the darkest depths of the ocean. Her power is said to be rivaled only by her beauty, and her allure is said to be enough to lure even the most hardened sailor to a watery grave.

Little is known of Ursula's true origins, but it is whispered that she was once a mere mortal, cast into the sea as a punishment for her crimes. But the ocean, it seems, had other plans for her.

Her domain is a twisted, nightmarish place, where the very walls seem to writhe and twist like living things, and the sky is perpetually shrouded in a sickly, greenish hue. It is said that anyone who dares to enter her realm shall never return.

Notable Feats:

• Lured Charles Darwin into an eternal slumber with her siren song, thus delaying the discovery of evolution by several decades.
• Convinced a team of explorers that she was, in fact, the goddess of the sea, and thus, they spent several weeks worshiping at her altar, never to be seen again.
• Was rumored to have been seen riding a giant squid through the streets of New York City during the height of the 80s punk scene, leaving a trail of entranced groupies in her wake.
