That they hate light is not due to an overly fragile sense of sight. Instead, it is because they have had the selfless sunlight and the surface world taken from them that they refuse to countenance man-made light.
Bathysmal Vishaps, also known as the Dragonheirs of the Depths, or Hydro Vishaps, are a race of Vishaps found in Enkanomiya and Fontaine.
Pure, primordial elemental creatures, wild spirits who never bent the knee to any god or worldly power.[1]
Bathysmal Vishaps have a special attack known as "Cleansing Shower", which drains a set amount of Energy if the attack hits. If the hit target does not have sufficient energy, they will lose HP.[2][3] This HP loss ignores shields, but can be negated using Elemental Burst i-frames. A purple HP bar indicates HP loss by a Bathysmal Vishap.

Lore[]
The Bathysmal Vishaps are an intelligent and extremely adaptable race, capable of constant evolution to further suit the roles they desire much like ants. If a predecessor didn't have the ability to survive their new environment, their descendants would instead evolve the ability to survive the environment themselves, even possibly become attuned to certain elements. Vishap mothers can also create new seeds or traits to pass on to their descendants should they encounter unforeseen and challenging environments. Before encountering the people of Byakuyakoku, they had already stored a veritable armory within their bodies.[4] They had even devolved their visual abilities due to their great hatred of humans.[5]
They are an astonishingly intelligent species that have their own methods of communication amongst each other and have the ability to learn more and improve linguistic capacities. However, they are very aggressive towards humans. Not much of their social structure or religion is known but they, or all Vishaps, obey and follow their Dragon Lords, seeing them as the peak of their kind.[4]
One such lord for the Bathysmal Vishaps, is the Dragon of Water who would've been born from their kind had it not been for their impure evolutions. As a result, the new Dragon of Water was reborn as Neuvillette, who lost most of his memories and took on a human form.[6]
Bathysmal Vishaps, or Vishaps in general, are beings of the Vishap or Light Realm and are elemental creatures, and are at odds with the Human Realm which Gods and Mortals inhabit, and the Void Realm.[1]
After Neuvillette's Authority was restored, some of these vishaps began venturing to the surface, with one residing in Loch Urania. However, most Fontainians are not currently aware that Bathysmal Vishaps reside in Fontaine.[7] After the tree in Erinnyes Forest was restored, another group of Bathysmal Vishaps surfaced around Loch Urania.
History[]
Prior to their name change, the people of Byakuyakoku regarded them as the Dragonheirs of the Depths. It wasn't until after their experiments were observed by Orobashi that their name was changed to Bathysmal Vishaps.[8]
During olden times, for thousands of years, the Dragonheirs of the Depths terrorized the people of Enkanomiya (formerly named Byakuyakoku). In order to survive the sharpened claws of the dragons, the people of Enkanomiya learned that the Dragonheirs loved the dark and the light scared them away, thus they[9] used thousands of lanterns to ward them off.[10] But these efforts were not particularly effective and so the people prayed and lamented until one of the Primordial One's Shining Shades, Istaroth, answered their prayers and gave Abrax enough knowledge to create the Dainichi Mikoshi.[10] The people of Enkanomiya relied on the light of the Dainichi Mikoshi for an untold amount of years until Watatsumi Omikami came several thousand years ago and defeated the Dragonheirs of the Depths, suppressing them under the sea with its jade corals. Soon after, Watatsumi Omikami brought the people of Enkonomiya to the surface and created Watatsumi Island for them to live in.[11]
Legacy[]
The spirit of Watatsumi Island constantly feels the calls of Enkanomiya, down in the depths. As a result, its soil is slowly bleaching, becoming Holy Soil. If this continues, Watatsumi Island will one day become a desert as pale as the moonlight.
According to tradition, every several centuries, the shrine maidens of Sangonomiya Shrine must take advantage of the moment when the spirit veins flow smoothly in order to break the barrier between Enkanomiya and Sangonomiya, to retrieve a Jade Coral Branch, left behind by the Omikami to suppress the Dragonheirs of the Depths, and perform the Watatsumi Goryou Matsuri ritual in order for the sunken "spirit" to return, which will stop the erosion of the Holy Soil.
However, though there are many Jade Coral Branches, as this tradition continues, the Dragonheirs of the Depths may one day break through its barrier and invade Watatsumi Island.[11]
