Changeling concept: The Hagfish Hive

By

Description

Queen Myxine and her changelings. They live in hollowed out caves along the shore and eat seafood to produce their building material (which might resemble corals). Usually they’ll either play the drowning to be saved, or save the drowning. Sometimes they build sharp spires underwater and try to navigate ships into them. Sometimes they’re lazy and just simulate a shark attack by swimming with their horn looking up over the water like a shark fin.
They are a pretty small hive as ponies aren't all that big on seafaring. Overall they’re pretty pragmatic and a direct contrast to the Honeycomb hive’s song and dance.

---------
Edit
Since a few people have asked about Myxine's personality, here's a short blurb copy/pasted from an answer:
Myxine is very down to earth, risk-vs-gain calculating, efficient, short-spoken...and just a little tired out. Youngest of the queens, but by necessity of force the most grown-up. (As in, she was forced to grow up very fast) Constantly in worry about her hive's future.

I am still working on a similiar Hive (for which i need still a good name and some names for former queen(s)), which live in and around Mountain rivers and lakes with underground tunnels; their tactis is to lure ponys near the water like sirens (with their disguise beauty) do drain the love or drag them in the underwater hive do make them a temporar husk, which got back on the surface some time later with no memory about what happend to them; What making them more unique, is that their can hold their breath under water longer then ponies and know a spell, which makes them very hard to detect under the water surface to better prey on swimming ponies. 



The moment leader is a prince called Exodio, which looks on the first look like a handsome changeling leader, but deep within he can be cold and  deceitful (but not so sadistic or evil like Chrysalis or Ambrosia), to get what he wants but still protective about his hive. But at the moment he has the problem, that the hive got drastically reduced by some pony tropps, which thought the hive belonged to Chrysalis. Their massacred the  huge part of the  changelings before their went away. He wants revenge about what happend to his hive and is seeking some other Hives for allies and do bring back the glory of the former hive streng. 


And maybe he is interested in her daughter 
Malafide for a alliance.
