The Painter Who Draws Dungeons - Episode 82

Humanoid_Mermaid (female form)

Entity Name

Aria

Kingdom of the Deep Sea

The first humanoid entity discovered by the 175th raid team, which was the first exploration party authorized by the Collectors’ Guild.

Unlike the related bloodline entity identified as “Mermaid Iser,” her hair is long enough to reach the floor and is a dark navy blue.

Over a blue-toned dress, she wears a white coat belonging to a doctor or researcher; since it is a man’s coat that does not fit her frame, it is presumed to be related to the story of the “Kingdom of the Deep Sea.”

The entity identified herself as a mermaid and revealed the name “Aria.”

Witnesses testified that they did not sense any falsehood. The entity name is confirmed as “Mermaid Aria.”

As a notable point, it has been confirmed that the colors of her eyes and hair change depending on her physical condition and emotional state.

This entity has, on multiple occasions, made statements identifying herself with the sea; therefore, it is presumed that she may be able to influence not only the “Kingdom of the Deep Sea,” where she is set as the master, but also the sea of any arbitrary dimension.

Initial Sighting Circumstances

She came out of the dungeon and kidnapped a probationary priest (Sun Church), apparently intending to observe a human’s reaction.

An exploration team organized under the authority of the Collectors’ Guild sighted her at the entrance to the “Deep Sea Temple.”

No particular aggressive tendencies were revealed, and although she requested dialogue, she was reported to have a strong aversion toward humans.

From what has been determined, “Aria” is the master of the “Kingdom of the Deep Sea,” and “Iser” is a false master meant to deceive humans.

Both entities have repeatedly engaged in acts intended to inflict physical and mental suffering upon humans, such as modifying humans into monsters, driven by hatred toward humans.

It has been determined that they have set a target they find appealing within Earth’s dimension.

It is expected that they will halt active attacks on humans until they achieve their goal.

Extreme caution is required to avoid provoking them in any special way, such as visiting the dungeon and causing a disturbance.

Given the characteristics of a humanoid entity, the response grade is set to SS.

No method of conquest has been found.

The Collectors’ Guild has requested that “avoidance” be adopted as the basic response posture.

Accordingly, the Hunters Association will also be extending the exploration period indefinitely rather than attempting a conquest, so all hunters are urged to exercise caution.
