Gophalis - God of the Sea

Continuing the Jincilla Pantheon.

Gophalis, the sea god is the son of Xeul and Fala (The king and queen of the Gods). While the rest of the Jincilla gods and goddesses retain the raptor-like shape of mortal Jincilla, Gophalis is cursed with his flightless form as punishment for the murder of the Titan, Xanos.

Most non-Jincilla would not understand the torture of being flightless, as the ability to fly is such a huge part of their way of life. If at any point in their life, illness or injury renders them flightless, then they either commit suicide or are killed by their clan-mates as an act of mercy. Severing the wings is a practice reserved for the most heinous of criminals. Eons of being flightless have turned Gophalis wild and unpredictable. He is fickle, and it will always be a toss-up if he will decide to help or hinder mortals.

He has the markings of a kingfisher that become marlin markings on his tail.
