i am a smol
named after pool
and i have none
of needed cool
i climb all day
on mental hill
my thoughts are mess
i have no chill


Tidepool is a nervous little fellow who loves to collect seashells. Of course, he doesn't eat seafood, and he doesn't want to waste any creature's life for his collection, so when he sees a sea creature whose shell he really loves and covets, he just kind of... checks up on them now and then, lingering in the margins of their life until they meet their natural end. Then he buries their body in a little ceremony and takes the shell- but only if he feels like they're "okay" with it. If he gets a bad feeling about the shell or starts feeling guilty, like it's "not okay", he won't take it, even if he's wanted it for a long time.

Tidepool is a very gentle dragon, but if any of the others come too close to his pool it makes him very nervous. If they cause any harm to his creatures, he gets violently upset.
