 ===Herald===
-The herald morph is inspired by sea angels. They are characterized by their lack of eyes, horn-like tentacles, large flippers, long tail, and slight transparency in water. The herald morph is primarily aquatic, and although all couriers are amphibious by nature, they have great difficulty navigating on land. They are considered a counterpart to the harbinger morph.

The herald morph is primarily aquatic, and although all couriers are amphibious by nature, they have great difficulty navigating on land. They are considered a counterpart to the harbinger morph. Herald morph couriers have the ability to produce small sea squirt-like colonial organisms which subsist of biofilm and plankton in the water column. They can be imprinted with a message that only other herald courier can access, though it is often encrypted as an additional protection. These Herald Cantlings can often survive indefinitely, budding when their current body begines to expire, however this can sometimes corrupt or distort the original message. Cantlings often form the foundation of the food web in dense Herald communities, and their aquatic communities attract lots of sea life, existing symbiotically.

 ===Harbinger===
-The harbinger morph is inspired by deep-sea creatures and gastropods. They are characterized by their needly teeth, multiple eyes, glowing lures, bioluminescence, webbed flippers, and long, flippered tail. The harbinger morph is primarily aquatic, and although all couriers are amphibious by nature, they have great difficulty navigating on land.
+The harbinger morph is inspired by deep-sea creatures and gastropods.

The harbinger morph is primarily aquatic, and although all couriers are amphibious by nature, they have great difficulty navigating on land. They are considered a counterpart to the herald morph and are closely associated with horrors and horror mutations. Harbinger morph couriers produce a bioluminescent slime which they use to leave messages in a harbinger-specific cipher, also called harbinger cant or Harcant. These messages glow by attracting a symbiotic species of deep sea bacteria, the same that lives within their various lures and markings, and only glow in the presence of another harbinger morph courier. Each harbinger can only leave messages in their specific color of bioluminescence. Some undersea caves have been so thoroughly coated in messages that they are nigh blinding when a harbinger wanders in.

 ===Caretaker===
 The caretaker morph is inspired by succulents, particularly lithops. They are characterized by the splits along their tentacles, chest, back, and tail as well as the large flowering succulents emerging from their back.
-Removing leaves from this succulent, caretaker morph couriers can leave messages by propagating these leaves into resilent succulents.When another caretaker courier encounters these message succulents, they can induce the succulent to rapidly bloom. The scent of the flower communicates the message, so this caretaker scent language is a closely guarded secret. Large gardens of succulents are often found at crossroads and at the entrances to towns, communicating anything from notable sights, good restaurants to stop at, or the reception the courier can expect in the town. Some businesses have taken to removing succulents from their properties or using weed killers due to this, as to avoid negative reviews they can't correct.
