Sea Devil's Fishnet Garment
A dual-purpose garment worn by a Sea Devil overseeing operations aboard HMS Reclaim. During confrontations (e.g., interrogations of Clark and the Doctor), it functions as a regal, open-weave cloak draped over broad shoulders to emphasize authority, fluttering like a banner when fleeing through broken chambers. During dominance displays, it tightens into a dark, mesh-like fishnet tunic with irregular tear patterns along sleeves and collar, clinging to the creature's scaled reptilian flesh. The fabric remains damp with a briny odor, its coarse fibers catching dim lighting to create jagged shadows that mirror aggressive postures. At all times, the mesh material reveals glimpses of the alien's scaled hide beneath, whether in ceremonial or confrontational contexts.
