Octopussified

There once was a fisherman whose great passion consisted of fishing.  He fished all day and night, noon and dawn. It was all he ever wished to do.

However, lost in his passion, he failed to respect the balance of nature, taking more from the ocean than what was his to take.

And so, the mysterious forces of the sea rebelled…and cursed him.

It was made so that any contact with oceanic creatures would make him turn into a monstrosity, that way, he would slowly rot and eventually become one with the sea, the one that he so desperately loved, yet neglected so.

One lonely night, while out at sea, he thought of ending his own life, accepting the price for his sins and willingly offering his body to the ocean creatures. He happened to come across a strange bottle, which so happened to contain the solution to his problems. A series of potions that could not only slow down, but eventually purify his curse.

The only catch was that, well..

…It required fish…
