Description
Escunite specimen with blanched bodies. Every part-shell, tentacles, and all-is white. Severel theories have been put forward as to why this happens: a mutation, or a defensive measure to better blend into surroundings. However, until more specimens are collected and research conducted, it will remain a speculation. Grand Escunites show a strong interest in Tentacle Jigs.
