Aquarian nature can be explained as them having the blessing of some sort of semi-divine Leviathan or maybe even Kraken itself; there's no lack of justifications available. Personally I just don't want to see another species that's effected by Iahsus despite having completely different origins to the other Corrupted; I already think Papillions are a bit of a disconnect from the other three given their origins aren't linked to Iahsus or the dark zones.

I think just inventing a divine beast out of nowhere feels odd, at best. Do keep in mind that the Deepwoods for Papilions is some sort of anti-Dark Zone, lore-wise. Dark Zones aren't related to Iahsus (or at least wasn't proven), Deepwoods are the same, and Oracles are a mystery as to how they even come with their corruption. Umbrals are the only one who have direct interaction to Iahsus in their corruption due to the Black Eclipse. It doesn't need to be interacting with Iahsus, but it needs to be an explanation as to why a human suddenly turned into that. Hence why Sly's idea for me is my favorite so far.

But yeah, before we go too deep into their lore, I'd like to at least hear Dev's thoughts on this.
