**Krill** was an antagonist in *What Lurks Beneath*. He first appeared in the prologue as a background character, though didn't make a formal debut until chapter 3.

After injuring and attempting to assassinate Trout alongside Egret, he was killed by Skua and buried for his traitorous actions.

## Physical Appearance

**Krill** was an average-sized, short-haired cream tom with ginger patches and a white nose bridge. He had darker ginger ears and stripes, and a white tail-tip and legs. He had green eyes and a small, pink nose.

## Personality

Unafraid to express his true feelings, Krill has a somewhat volatile personality and is known for his tendency to hold a grudge. Despite this reputation, Krill appears to be relatively well-liked by his peers. Fiercely protective of the Family, Krill is outspoken about his dislike for Daisies, treating them with hostility. A proclaimed loyal follower of the Tide, Krill reacts negatively to many of Trout's decisions, boldly expressing his concerns. His adherence to his beliefs allows him to justify extreme actions, and he's willing to put aside personal attachments to do what he feels is right.

## History

#### Prologue

**Krill** watches as Thresher walks to the shore of the beach, and chants along with the rest of The Family as Thresher wades into the sea.
#### Chapter 3

Krill and Wahoo sit together on top of the entrance to the tunnels, looking down at Tusk. Krill asks if she was lost, and states that she was close to the tunnels and that her stench would start to linger.
*More Coming Soon*
#### Chapter 5

Krill and Wahoo, as kittens, play with each other on the top of the entrance to the tunnels, being watched over by Wahoo's parent.
#### Chapter 6

Krill sits in the crowd and listens to Trout's speech about The Tide allowing The Family to eat the sealife from the freshwater pools, expressing his support alongside the other members of The Family.
#### Chapter 8

Krill clings onto one of the rocks that borders the freshwater pools as a wave crashes over him and the other volunteers. He heads back to the shore when Sturgeon dismisses them due to the storm.
Later on, when the storm clears up, he assists Sturgeon with clearing one of the rocks from the border of the pools. Once they successfully move one of the rocks, Krill states that they'd best hope that was enough to fulfill the "feast" Sturgeon promised. Sturgeon retorts that even if it's not, she expects gratitude. Krill snorts, and Sturgeon clarifies that it was for The Tide, not her, and that she expects him to remember that.
Krill wonders what fish tastes like, and Sturgeon hopes that it's good. A Daisy approaches the two of them, asking if Sturgeon remembered him. Krill grimaces, asking what the Daisy was doing by the pools and that Daisys should drink from the river now. Sturgeon tells the Daisy that they haven't met and that he should leave the beach, and when the Daisy attempts to explain what Sturgeon had helped him with, Krill calls him dumb and states that he should have listened to Sturgeon the first time she told him to leave.
Sturgeon yells at the Daisy, causing him to run off. Krill mentions that he thought she was going to attack him, and bids him good riddance. He states that Daisys have been getting bold lately, and that Hake helping Tusk must be telling them to come beg for food. Sturgeon scolds him, telling him to not blame Hake for this as taking pity on one Daisy doesn't change anything.
Krill accepts the answer, but says that they wouldn't want the Daisys to be getting any big ideas about free food. Sturgeon says that she won't let that happen.
