Full Name:Lihsangiongiangionschìo
Appears in: the first book in the Odyssey saga, and also of the eponymous comic.
Lihsangiongiangionschìo, often referred to by the affectionate nickname "Lihso", is an adult male abyssal merfolk.
He is known for being the primary source of information available to humans regarding his species, having collaborated with research teams to share insights into his own experiences and biology. The term "Lihso Bias" is also named after him; it refers to research where the sources are so limited that they consist solely of data provided by one or two individuals, a situation that carries all the obvious limitations one might expect.
Appearance
Lihso is a medium-sized male Abyssugens, making him smaller than the average adult of any other merfolk.
He prefers to use his second mouth for speaking and eating, often leaving it slightly ajar, while reserving his primary mouth almost exclusively for singing. In his natural form, he possesses a melodious voice, described as both "nostalgic" and "haunting", but this grace is entirely lost when he assumes the human form he has crafted for himself. While this form might otherwise be a valuable asset in his quest to win over a human woman, a desire held by his monster-loving heart, the magical tin hat he created to transform into a human at will has the unfortunate side effect of turning his beautiful voice into the raspy croak of a crow with a sore throat.
Life Before Contact with the Surface
Reconstructing a timeline of Lihso’s life is quite difficult, as he, like all other abyssal merfolk, never internalized the concept of the passage of time in the way a human would.
He learned and refined techniques for construction and tool-making, then went on to study and apply alchemy and magic, becoming skilled at crafting artifacts infused with magical properties. This remarkable ability would later enable him to modify his own body, albeit temporarily, in such a drastic way that he could reach the surface. The pressure there is so low that it would cause any other Abyssugens to decompress, a process violent enough to result in death.
Contact with Humans
Lihsangiongiangioschìo has fashioned a human form for himself in order to explore previously unknown environments, attempting, by his own account, to "meet human women." Lihsangiongiangioschìo has assured the research teams with whom he has collaborated that his attraction to human women is not typical for his species.
He appears, among other things, to be fascinated by the concept of courtship, something that is not a natural part of his species' behavior.
