The Charybdis is a Europan creature that spawns in the Abyss.
Description
The Charybdis resembles a massive eyeless whale, with an odd humpback, blacked out fins and sharp white teeth. It also has a single long tail. The body features a pale grey-ish ice blue coloration, with darker stripes along the back. The lower belly seemingly possesses a lighter tanned color. There are a group of large veins heading down from the head to the base of the neck. The curved limbs possess notably shiny scales, in contrast to the lower torso with a rough leathery texture.
Most unusually, the Charybdis heavily resembles an upside-down whale. While this is most likely unintentional, it could be used as a way to play dead as a possum would, so as to hide from larger predators that also roam the Abyss.
In-game
The Charybdis is unusually quick (but not so much as a Coelanth) and very bulky. Their damage is rather unique among creatures in that while it does the same amount of structure damage as the mighty Endworm, its jaws do abysmal damage to lone creatures. Therefore, should you find yourself assaulted by a Charybdis, the best course of action is to leave the submarine and confront it in person. This strategy is accentuated by the fact that the Charybdis will prefer attacking divers over structures. However, while the initial damage it does is easily ignorable, the resulting bleeding damage is quite severe, therefore it is highly advisable to bring bandages.
Despite the creature's apparent blindness, mechanically it does possess the ability of sight, albeit slightly weaker than some creatures. If you suspect a Charybdis is ahead, it is wise to turn all sonars to passive in an attempt to sneak by.
