Coral demons

Coral demons, also known as Caranam, are a species of spirit that appeared in Makolan, Kutwhean, Marima Islander, Orchid Islander and Mayuran legend. They are a race of spirits that vary in size being as small as a woman’s heel and as big as a full grown oak and most of the time feed on fish blood. 
== Behaviour ==
They are usually benign, until you get too close. In legend, they are said to perch onto fishes and suck their blood out their gills which gives them energy, their favourite fish being carp. Their weakness is if you place carps, dead or alive, at the front of your house where they will take a while to suck the blood of every fish before getting to you. They also latch onto coral which is where they live, they supposedly prefer large mountainous-like coral formations that are near the sea floor that are near kelp. If a human is near when their deep in their slumber, they will possess the human with their black magic, causing the human to have strange occurrences such as plugged ears, barotrauma, and swimmer’s shoulders. They also have the ability to attract box jellyfish using their horrendous scent of smell that is said to resemble a mix of chlorine, skunk and seaweed to the surface to sting any humans to not get too close. Larger coral demons can leap out the water and can be in form of a million sand-fleas and latch onto humans to suck their blood and their soul. Coral demons hate seashells so many Makolans and other Islanders wear seashells of some sort (whether as a seashell design on their clothing, a seashell necklace, etc) to make the coral demons flee.
