In the world of SongHai, the Seep Watchers serve as the ultimate guardians of the deep ocean Cold Seep Habitat . Initially, they gathered Yeti-crab shells and soft tissues from Iron foot snails for protection and pressure resistance. However, due to their prolonged combat duties and direct exposure to ocean creature tissues, they gradually developed an inseparable bond with them.
Though they may not possess the same agility as the land-dwelling Vent Divers, the Seep Watchers compensate with their fully developed pressure suits, enabling them to operate underwater and endure extreme conditions for extended periods of time.
The primary role of the Seep Watchers is to oversee the Seep dive ceremony conducted by the Seep Divers, ensuring that no intruders disrupt the sacred ritual.
