There are many oddities and mysteries within the vast depths of the ocean. Even near the surface, you have many wondrous yet dangerous creatures; sharks, whales, even the well-known sea dragons, all of which have their various reputations throughout the world. But, go deeper and you may find others which you wouldn't have imagined existed. Deep down where light can no longer reach, various forms of life have adjusted to the oppressive darkness and water pressure of the deep. Most of these creatures are small, though recently there were some discovered that are much more monstrous in nature. Loud clicks and low, metallic rumbling can be heard in the darkness, long before the inky-black abyssal dragon becomes visible. With sharp hooks for teeth and scales that let it blend in with the darkness surrounding it, eyes adjusted to see in the dark, over 100 ft. in length and just under 50 ft. in height, he is the king of the deep. Most dragons are assumed to be curious, but exactly how well this applies to the newly discovered abyss dragon remains to be seen. If one were to be seen by him, would he find you an interesting curiosity, an intruder in his territory, or another snack to feed on? One can only wonder if it's worth finding out, if they even see him before he makes up his mind...
After a spark of inspiration and a few interesting conversations with my mate
valcyrie, I decided to make a sea dragon character for myself. But not just a standard sea dragon...I figured, since I hadn't seen one before, an abyssal sea dragon would be an interesting concept to try out. And now, we have Phasma Atrum, the abyss dragon! I honestly love how his design turned out, and he turned out looking a lot better than I could have imagined him to!
The amazing art was done by
ashrin who brought this idea to life!
Phasma Atrum belongs to me!

Hehe, his demeanor we'll have to see with time.
And I guess I can clarify that the name abyss dragon is a bit misleading; he actually lives in the Midnight Zone, which isn't as deep as the abyss but is still deep enough where light can't reach it. It's just easier calling him an abyss dragon and I think most would get that anyways. Whales and giant squid actually regularly go down there (guess what his diet consists of).
I suppose he can live in normal conditions even if it's not ideal, but his eyes and scales are sensitive to direct sunlight, so that would make things a little more difficult.
And thank you! Hopefully I can bring him out more often.
