Ocean Biome - Shadow

Overview
Deep below the Light Ocean, strange creatures lurk. Phosphorus lights are all you can see of them. Unlike the Light Ocean, this biome is not much like Earth. A “fog”, formed of shadow energy, prevents any creatures, except shadow creature, from seeing. Few thermal vents exist. Instead, phosphorus lights appear from the ground, providing a way for a strange kind of photosynthesis.

Location and Climate
There is no exact location or climate for Shadow Oceans. They are mainly located under Light Oceans; however, currents may push the shadowed energy of the biome to somewhere else.

Temperature
Temperature does not affect creatures living in the Shadow Ocean. The biome is too far down in the ocean to be affected by what some creatures call “surface problems”.

Behavioral
This is the only kind of season that affects Shadow Ocean creatures.

The Day of Calm clears the fog of the biome and allows the Shadow Ocean creatures to see, creating a need for eyes and preventing the adaptation of eyes from disappearing. Shadow creatures such as some Leviathans sleep for the duration of the day.

The Day of Chaos forces the fog of the biome upwards into the Light Ocean, allowing shadow creatures to surface and eat any creature they wish.

Variants
Above the Shadow Ocean is its passive relative - the Light Ocean.
