Description
one day out at sea the crew of a fishing ship started reciving a long lasting signal asking for help and decided to investigate. after some time they saw what apeared like a large factory ship on the horizont but as they got closer they started to see odd discoloured patches on the hull and a large allmost funny-looking smile across the bow.
after some time they eventualy got to see what is up with this odd vessel
that vessel is Amalgam.
an old, weathered constructoidian ghost ship. altho unlike other constructoids, the weathering of the sea combined with the lack of mineral deposits has caused a switch to a more organic diet and structure.

she primarily eats krill and small fish. sucking them in with her massive maw, much like that of a whale, altho from time to time also enjoys some larger prey from tuna to sharks and other sizeable sea creatures she manages to catch with her crane arms or ocassionaly on one of her ankors.
her frame is patchy with organic bandages present in quite a few places, often connected by a hidden network of veins and tissue blending into the floors and walls. on the inside she has seems rather comforting with cyan lights and well maintained looking interior, with the exceptions of a few closed off passages. altho that's rather missleading, with a lot of it being replacements grown from the same organic tissue with an odd internal structure, potential hiding lethal traps. from some rooms those onboard can hear a slow subtle beating sound as those may be closer to the sealed off room containing the ship's heart

altho this hybrid structure also allows her to withstand exceptionaly tough weather as her body is more flexable and impact-resistant than an ordinary ship's hull allowing her to smash trough wawes and even dive like a submarine to some extent

about the amalgom's personality:
she's brave, friendly, and quite playful despite her massive size, but prefers to stay away from other ships

likes:
whales, feasting, playing games, close quarters combat, pirates and piracy to some extent, metal band music ,watching sunrises and sunsets, diving, ocasionaly jumping off and riding on massive wawes during a particularly rough storm

dislikes: authorities, troublesome crews, competing with other fishing ships, being seen as an outdated, old and rusty hunk of scrap metal, being shot at
(she can take a suprising ammount of beating but has a hard time recovering broken or bent superstructure)

fears: bomber planes, large navy warships and aircraft carriers, being reported to the military

living machine boats are seriosly underrated. and altho this isn't exactly a typical living machine it is still a pretty interesting design for one, unique designs is what I love about the living machine comunity.

I'd also like to say: I didn't want the eyes to be like a disney pixar's cars character, even tho that would also work pretty well in thís scenario.
instead I decided to have it more like the other constructoid characters with clear, glassy windscreens, but with 2 independent eye clusters, one of whitch is active with lavander and green eyes and the other not so much, only red targets in place of eyes

feel free to ask questions in the comments, I definitely could use more feedback
