Something has come up out of the tar

In this AU, most details are the same for Death Stranding except that there are chiral creatures in the tar lakes, Higgs is a chiral creature that hunts along the tar belt on the western coast of the continent. The upper half of him appears human, with faint tells of his nonhuman nature; scattered dustings of golden scales on his skin, gills that trace along his ribcage. There's much more to him than the human half he allows to be viewed above the surface. Tentacles. Lots of them. Think shark+octopus.

Had ideas for this AU ages ago and never really got around to expanding on it. Finally kicked my own ass into gear and got it done.

Full picture

And a slightly altered appearance. Couldn't decide if I liked the gold webbed hands or the lighter scattering of the scales. You can see a better peek of what he has going on below the belt here in this pic, which is largely why I am adding it.
