Flukebileus (Hallownestian Flukes)

Hallownestian Flukes are a kingdom of Flukes that previously lived in the Royal Waterways of Hallownest. They last resided in the Sanctus Flukefactorem region of the Atrantian Sea - however they almost exclusively lived in the Royal Waterways of Hallownest for a long while. Their leader is Flukebileus, also known as the Waterways Creature. The main trade of the Hallownest Flukes was growing and harvesting Living Mineral.

## History

The Hallownestian Flukemarm arrived at Hallownest a little after the first wave of the infection hit. There, she birthed Flukebileus and all of her subjects. Because Hallownest was too busy fending of The Husks, the Hallownest Flukes were easily able to make their home there.

Fast-forward a couple of years and Vengan bribes the Hallownest Flukes to testify against Lego after he framed them for the attempted murder of Nover. Flukebileus only says like "I believe that Lego is guilty" and doesn't elaborate further. Flukemarm is also temporarily upgraded by Ludwig to bribe the Hallownest Flukes into joining Xenosia but it doesn't really work. Eventually Flukebileus is marked by a then-possessed-by-Apolafsi Iggy but nothing comes of it for a long while. The Hallownest Flukes, using Puppet and two Flukemons, join the Expedition Upwards but a Xenosian Flukemarm disguised as a Flukemon infiltrates the group. The flukemarm and her children are killed off by Rodo - all but one larva survives, who is nurtured by the Hallownest Flukes. The Expedition Upwards ends with the start of Starfall and Puppet is killed off by the Starbringer. The Flukes hide in the Royal Waterways and open shop to sell Living Mineral after Starfall is over.

Later, when the mark given to Flukebileus by Iggy shows on every Fluke except for one, the entirety of the Hallownest Flukes become possessed by Apolafsi. Only one Flukemon remains for the amusement of the sadistic being. The Hallownest Flukes start to infect every Armattian with their larvae but it really doesn't go anywhere because of the unmarked Flukemon. The Flukemon, with the help of Drake - a vessel that participated in the Expedition Upwards - get Flukebileus to Riot who promptly unmarks him, freeing all Hallownestian Flukes from the grasp of the Smiler.

After an angry Madam Appolineta throws exactly 199994 geo into the sewers after getting pissed at Vengan, the Hallownest Flukes become rich and plan on renovating the Waterways to become beautiful and accessible to all. This plan would be cut short however when a wail from the Flukefactorem would order all Flukes to come to her domain. They would all come and stay there for 8 years.

Turns out the Flukefactorem wanted to engulf Gran-nest itself via a huge army of flukes and that is why she called for her spawn. After a group arrived after becoming suspicious of calls in the sea manifested by the Factorem in the Wail of Parasites quest, Flukebileus changed sides and helped the group kill the Armattian Flukes (Flukenar) and the Xenosian Flukes (Flukeneigus). He eventually helped the group kill his mother and died alongside every fluke in the Atrantian Sea.
