Creep Dive

* True

**Creep Dive** is the Simplicitrix/Stabilized Simplicitrix's DNA sample of a Creutairbhonadubhlagan from the planet Rothranga'sabaid Crogallairsona'bhoglach Adhrèanadh.

## Appearance

Creep Dive's default appearance, when not submerged within water, is a humanoid alien completely adorned from within an old-fashioned diving suit, primarily dark gray with a large spherical bright red helmet that features glowing red windows on its top and sides and a black tube on the back that connects into a pair of diving cylinders holstered on the back of his torso, alongside a black belt with a red buckle on the right side, red gloves, and brown and tan boots. Creep Dive's suited form constantly emits a potent odor of swampy stench, visualized as a red fog that fluctuates around him.

Creep Dive's true appearance, when fully submerged underwater, becomes a large menacing aquatic humanoid alien with glowing red eyes with slit pupils, enormous fanged mandibles, four fin-like ears on the sides of his head, dark gray scales, and enormous extremities tipped with webbed claws. He features pale red and bright red fins running down the top of his head, back of his torso, and on the back of his forearms and calves. with striped accents of the same colors across the sides of his torso, around his forearms, and down the front of his legs, while his chest features a second pair of eyes from underneath his pectoral muscles, while his abdomen appears partly split open in the shape of a sharpened mouth. Similar to his suited form, Creep Dive's true form also exudes its foul stench, now although arguably even worse than before.

Creep Dive wears the Simplicitrix in place of his front helmet window in his suited form, and on his chest in his true form.

## Powers

* Creep Dive can transform between two different forms dependent if his environment is aquatic or not, with land resulting in his suited form, and the water resulting in his true form upon the Simplicitrix's transformation into them. Creep Dive's two different forms each feature their own powers and weaknesses, which are listed as follows:
	+ Creep Dive's suited form can generate and manipulate oxygen, which includes the very oxygen within others' bloodstream, allowing him to enhance their breathing rate through ensuring they have maximum amounts of oxygen within their blood, although increasing it can cause oxygen poisoning while decreasing it can deprive their brain of it, with both instances resulting in a slow, painful death.
		- Creep Dive's suited form's oxikinesis can deoxygenate entire environments, resulting in hallucinations and unconsciousness from the deprivation, instantly cause combustion through the highly explosive preporties of pure oxygen, empower or negate active fires through either enhancing or removing their fuel source, manipulate corrosion through instantaneous oxidation of metals and human flesh, and allowing for survivability within inhospitable environments through encasing his nearby allies within oxygen bubbles.
		- Creep Dive's suited form has enhanced durability and endurance, using his oxygen bubble trick for underwater respiration and space survivability.
	+ Creep Dive's true form can generate and manipulate water pressure, allowing him to create extreme amounts in order to completely crush and burst solid objects, project laser-thin beams of water with their molecules so tightly condensed that they can cut straight through metal and stone, and create razor sharp whirlpools that causes anyone sucked in to be automatically ripped apart from the sheer pressure alone.
		- Creep Dive's true form's other hydrokinetic applications include communicating and surveying others through water and any associated liquid, functioning similar to that of an extrasensory sixth sense, detecting motion through water currents up to several meters away from him, healing himself and others through water, and bestowing aquatic adaption onto others through his sharp fangs releasing a potent mutagenic toxin that causes any non-aquatic lifeform injected with it to automatically sprout gills, fins, webbings, and any other correlated biology.
		- Creep Dive's true form has enhanced strength, speed, and swimming, alongside his sharp teeth, claws, and fins, natural underwater breathing, and immunity towards the extreme pressure that he can create.

## Weaknesses

* Creep Dive's different transformations have their own disadvantages compared to the other, with his suited form having drastically lesser agility and mobility, and his true form being nowhere near as durable as his metal diving suit, although he can recover through his hydrokinetic regeneration.
* Creep Dive's suited form and his oxygen manipulation is extremely dangerous to use due to both its poisonous and explosive preporties, requiring him to take caution in the concentration of oxygen that he can generate, with 100% purity providing lethal results, while his true form and his water pressure manipulation is similarly dangerous due to the fact it can effortlessly rupture and tear apart even the most strongest of materials.
* Creep Dive's liquid surveillance communication requires available water-based liquid mediums that are open to the air for him to be able to view through.
* Creep Dive's mutagenic venom and its aquatic transformative results makes it so that anyone infected cannot survive on land, although its results can be expunged through those capable of genetic manipulation, or curing through flushing the toxin from the individual's system before the effects fully settle.

## Etymology

* Creep Dive's name is a play on "creep" and "deep dive."
* Creep Dive's species name is the Scottish Gaelic translation of "creature of the black lagoon," as the aquatic appearance of his true form heavily resembles the Gill-Man.
* Creep Dive's planet name is the Scottish Gaelic translation of "too busy fighting alligators to drain the swamp," a phrase meaning to be occupied with multiple smaller problems and tasks that they lose sight of their ultimate goal.

## Trivia

* Creep Dive's true form's gray, blue, and red color scheme references Mega Gyarados from *Pokémon*.
* Creep Dive's design respectively uses Captain Cutler and the Fish Freaks from *Scooby Doo: Mystery Incorporated*.
* Creep Dive was originally conceptualized as a future alien for *Clock 10: Choose Your Own Adventure*, although was unused and thereby was canonized instead for *The Alan 10 Adventures*.
