deep one

Creature from below

A deep one is a creature from H.P.

Lovecraft's horror fiction—an amphibious humanoid that dwells in ocean depths and breeds with coastal humans.

The term has spread into broader fantasy and gaming contexts for similar aquatic monsters.

Informally, a deep one can describe anyone mysterious, profound, or harboring hidden depths: She's a deep one—you never know what she's thinking.
