Proteus

Prophetic god of rivers and seas. His name means: "first" (from Greek "πρῶτος" prōtos, "first"), to be understood as primordial.

His domain would be elusive sea change, reflecting the unpredictable nature of water.
He can predict the future, but in order to make him do so, you'll need to find a way to capture him.

a giant foot-shaped snail with a house on its back. the house is still in construction, with a big crane towering above it The image is a stylized black-and-white illustration. In the lower left corner, there is a small, cozy-looking house with smoke rising from its chimney. The smoke, however, does not dissipate into the air but instead forms a dark, looming cloud. Within the cloud, the silhouette of a large, menacing face is visible, with its eyes and nose peeking through the darkness. The creature, perhaps a cat, appears to be watching over the house ominously, creating a sense of foreboding or unease.
