Combat

Despite their psychic powers, lurelings are surprisingly non-violent: if they intend to harm a surfacer, it is usually through psychic assault or domination at night. Even then, though, lurelings seem to have little or no interest in altercation with surfacers: most of their interactions are through their marions seeking sexual intercourse (sometimes in exchange for shelter or resources the marion needs to survive). The only time a lureling has ever been provoked to direct violence is when a surfacer assaults a marion. This behavior is almost universally met with instant and overwhelming retaliation, with the lureling bursting up from the ice and crushing, eating, or dragging the assailant under the ice. Perhaps this is why marions are welcomed peacefully into some native villages...
