Gala Morgana!

Ursula's crazy younger sister from The Little Mermaid II Return to the Sea. I had to add her! She doesn't get enough attention.

What are the origins of the pale sorceress Zhan Tiri, how did she gain the power of shapeshifting and her giant goat octopid demon form, and how did she first get acquainted with Demanitus and his apprentices?

hey! Sorry this took so long! Had a lot going on.

Also got to give credit for @bestworstcase for their thoughts on Zhan Tiri’s timeline that helped inspire mine

So I think that Zhan Tiri is actually a Cambion, a half-demon. Her mother was a full demons who seduced her way into becoming queen of an ancient kingdom. She would be eventually overthrown by the True Heir, as these stories always go, and her daughter cast out into the deserts.

The young demon girl wandered the world, causing mischief and mayhem as she went, taking different forms as suited her needs. Eventually she would set up base at that ancient Tree, and was worshipped by various peoples as her power grew.

Eventually the shapeshifter would meet the ambitious young alchemist Lord Demanitus, and as tje young adventurer learned from this strange being, the two became friends—though the affection ran deeper on Demanitus’ side then her’s. They decided to search for the sun and moon drops together, but Zhan Tiri’s fondness could not overcome her ambitions, and she gave into her darker nature, forcing g her erstwhile friend to banish her into the Lost Realm, the outskirts of the Demon Realm from whence she’d come.

She was eventually released from this dimension by several of Demanitus later followers, who’d learned of her and her power and betrayed him to become her disciples. These along with other of her followers were later imprisoned with her when Demanitus managed to once again bind her to this pocket reality, this time for two thousand years, until she was released in the events of Tangled the Series.

Merfolk!Au where The spider crew benignly kidnap Peter B., thinking that he needs help and Miguel comes back for him (he's apocalyptically pissed). Miguel is an octopid and Peter is a goldfish. Miguel's claws are retractable on both his hands and tentacles. Miguel can regrow limbs and can change color of his tentacles at will. Also yes, he inks. Inky boi!

... so my first thought for miguel was vampire squid...

and then i was leik OH YES please please please please PLEASE~<3!!!!

i NEED IT--

lmao, yes. yes to everything plus INKY BOI~<3!! when i do mer au's, i do tend to combine certain canon elements to make mer forms allusions to the original but i LOVE the idea of goldi peter and octo miguel~<3<3<3

tho i must admit, i'd be moar likely to do some kinda blend/maybe combine for that allusion/fantasy fish element (like the vampy squid for miguel~<3<3<3<3 but also *maybe* spiderfish for petey pie~<3) because i like deep sea horrors... but also ;))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

deep sea glowy vampy octopid with spiny lil spider carp/koi(goldi's and koi are carps!)~<3 maybe?

i LOVE that tho, *apocalyptically* pissed~<3!! YES~<3!!

i do imagine peter just being an idiot who gets caught in the fishing nets, not even that they intentionally kidnap him lol

mer aus can be pretty basic but there's def a lot to explore worldbuilding wise there. i like to include mers, sirens, and beast kin for various subcategories and differing abilities.

singing for sirens and sometimes mers for example, but voraciously carnivorous appetites for sirens and verious beast kin types.

there are also a ton a themes to explopre there but they do dive a little outward from them both being mers.

marine biologist, classic crabby hermit, lil mermaid rescue a dumb human vibes are always great choices for some variation. LOVE the idea of a scientist discovering this supposedly *mythical* beast is actually extremely intelligent. love it even moar when they get caught on purpose *possibly* to study the human, or even that the 'human' person secretly has mer blood in them without knowing~<3

OOH~<3! here's an idea<3<3<3

inky boi miguel is a marine biologist (who is aware of his own mer's blood BUTT avoids the water maybe because of some certain... hungry tendencies~<3), peter is the idiot fish boi who's trying to get his attention and keeps getting captured, on purpose (after the first time at least~<3) just to get his attention~<3<3<3

;)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

BUTT~! do also love the idea of miguel being a very clingy and protective octopid for his goldi petey pie~<3<3<3

OOH OHH!!!

CAN'T forget to mention but... PIRATES~<3<3<3

which might not so 'benignly' kidnap a pretty golden petey pie~<3<3<3

they do say the *flesh* of a mermaid can give *immortality*. maybe miguel already knows the truth of that rumor~<3 maybe he knows the cost that follows in a thirst for human blood/flesh, cursed to be an aquatic/replace the one killed~<3 maybe he's the captain and toying with his precious petey~<3<3<3

;))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

ahhhh, so many ideas, so little time~<3

A wondrous thought, my mind does race-

I’ve a hybrid quota to fill-

There remains one choice on the grid:

Called Squoctapus or Octopid?

One day, one rhyme- Day 3807

I made a small pink octopus,

Then I thought, ‘Why not two?

And surely it’s for the best to

Have a different hue?’

Then came three, and then four and five,

Then a rainbow did drop.

Now I may drown in octo’s as

Are octopins a matriarchal society since almost only the females have magic?

No one's above the other, though extraordinary witches are respected.. if they use their powers to cater to their own kind. Supernatural strength is cool and all, but the physical strength of an octopan male can be equally insane -not to mention there are more males who're able to rip a shark in half than there are females who can cast a fully effective spell. Not all white-haired octopans are prodigies by default; there's no culture of blind worship linked to them.

Here's my belated contribution to MerMay for fun 'n' giggles. Unbelievable how making a simple, portfolio-like piece takes a huge amount of time hhhhh

Anyway here's Chuck's mom as a relative of Ursula because let's face it, they kinda look alike. (They even share the same VA in Finland)

Also, let's hope Fly avoids not only his gelatinous cousin's sting, but also his octopid aunt's sharp high heels. Don't wanna end up like your stuffed replica, pal!

At least, the professor here is definitely gonna have a good time, it seems~

My gala design of Ursula! She's my favorite villain, (her and Yzma) but I had done Captain Hook first so I posted him first just like on my dA and Instagram accounts.

Ursula

lil octopid :3

An octopid dancer performs an underwater dance.

[bluuxriising]

Bluu’s true form is an octopid, a combination between cephalopod mollusks (such as octopi, squids, or cuttlefish) and a human woman. Bluu has incredible willpower and can maintain her human consciousness, even after her body is fully transformed. However, the transformation is a mixture of pain and euphoria and cannot be held back for long. She can only remain “herself” for a scant few hours until her true nature takes control. And when it takes control, she grows until she is the size of a giant. Her hair, covered in seaweed and seashells, hides the left half of her face, her eyes glow an ominous blue, her teeth are razor-sharp, and when she speaks, it is not a language the human tongue can say.

In short, Bluu in her awakened form is both horrifying and beautiful to look at.

King Boo as Octopid. King Boo seems fit being Octopid cause he has something in common with the creature.

Uma and Jennifer have identical “Yeet and Succeed” Energy

Uma: Yo I’ve never done this before but lets hope that I turn into a giant octopid if I jump off the boat

Uma: *yeets herself off the boat*

Uma: *succeeds*

Jennifer: Aye I bet if I can float in my sleep, which I do subconsciously, I can fly when I’m awake even tho I’ve never tried it

Jennifer: *yeets herself out the car*

Jennifer: *succeeds*
