A selkiemore, called by folk Selkie Maw, is a water-dwelling creature that feeds on plankton.Declan de Barra: "In truth they are plankton feeders"
== Selkiemores in culture ==
While hardly anyone has seen a selkiemore, folk tales describe it as giant beasts with thousands of teeth that line a mouth capable of swallowing entire villages.Netflix's Map of the Continent: Selkiemore
While in fact selkiemores are just plankton feeders, fear of them may lead people to hire a witcher to deal with them. One such beast was slain by famous Geralt of Rivia, who managed to cut his way out of the creature's interior after being swallowed.
== Notes ==
* The way it is drawn by Declan de Barra, selkiemore resembles a falak, the cave-dwelling creature from comic book. The falak is however depicted as evidently predatory creature rather than misunderstood plankton feeder.
== Trivia ==
* Selkies are shapeshifting seals from Scottish mythology.
* In real world, whales are an example of plankton feeders that were previously portrayed in legends and myths as toothed monsters capable of swallowing people alive.
