Lurker
A monster lurks in the cold depths. A fish, or a monster. Known by the sailors around the Red sea for sinking their ships and devouring anyone unfortunate enough to end up in the water.
Some consider it a myth, but it's just another animal trying to survive it this strange world.
Once it's prey is close, it jump up and grabs the prey with it's tentacles, swallowing it whole. The prey then is dissolved alive, as the lurker's body releasis stomach acids. It seems it's stomach an mouth are two in one and also the only entrance to expel waste. Giant lurkers even learned to sink ships and eat the crew.
Their skin is decently touch with the slime, which easily coats weapons, making them slip off easily or just outright makes them unusable. Lurkers are able to survive without food for months by slowing down their bodily ptocesses.
Giant Lurker:

Description:
Leg snatcher is 2-3x larger than a human. It's body looks like a slimy blob with tentacle-like apendages. It's large toothless mouth stratches across it's body, being able to fit in even food of it's own size. It's body is covered is scales and slime, along with mud and plants that got stuck on it along the way. Two large black eyes are set on top of it's body.Biology and behavior:
Lurker is an omnivore creature that stays in one place and digs itself under mud and plants, only it's eyes above the mud, which are set to be able to see everything above the lurker. While it is an omnivore it prefers meat and doesn't shy away from eating even humans.Once it's prey is close, it jump up and grabs the prey with it's tentacles, swallowing it whole. The prey then is dissolved alive, as the lurker's body releasis stomach acids. It seems it's stomach an mouth are two in one and also the only entrance to expel waste.

Giant Lurker:
There is a mutations, which occurs in about 5% of the species. These lurkers grow up really fast, up to 20x their regular size. Most live too deep in the ocean to really cause an issue, but in shallow waters, tend to be responsible for several sunk ships.
Monster hunters:
Locals, which are mostly Nagataru, fear the creature. It took too many lives and reduces food availability, or makes sailors outright refuse to get out of the port when there are reports of Giant Lurker nearby.
Some of these sailors, mainly fishermen and warriors had enough and renforced their ships and made special harpoons, which are much larger and require a special firing machine to use, to hunt the monsters down.
