Humans being persistent predators is probably a terrifying concept to Eridians. A creature that slowly follows you until your body forces you to sleep knowing you will be unable to wake up as they inevitably get closer and closer.
Graceās explanation of old human hunting practices probably spawned a whole new genre of horror on Erid.

Imagining the conversation at the end of Project Hail Mary between Rocky and Adrian about Grace following similar lines to the closet argument from the beginning of Dead Boy Detectives:
Rocky: Please can we adopt this alien?
Adrian: Absolutely not!
Rocky: Pretty please?
Adrian: Ugh, fine.
I mean, Rocky had been gone for a very long time and Adrian waited for him all those years and would probably just be happy to have him back, but also, Rocky is now best friends with this living human and is inviting them into the family, and there may be some conflicting feelings about that at first. Still, Iām confident they work things out eventually.
I was mostly thinking about how some depictions of the Eridians are a little too monolithic for me (they can have bad opinions TOO #thealienisahoax), but this is the funniest thing ever. Light is probably one of the fakest sounding things ever for a species that cannot sense it. AND, things that travel at its speed apparently TIME TRAVEL...? Suuuure... That's DEFINITELY what happened when the crew got lost in space for all those years...
lmaoooooo exactly!! If you can't see light, I can only imagine it would be on the same level of Sounds Like Nonsense (even if it isn't) as dark matter or some shit.
Half the wackos on Erid think it's all a made up conspiracy hoax and Grace's existence is faked for a cover-up, and the other half think it's a mystical woo-woo force that lets Grace do magic and see the future. š¤£
Meanwhile Grace is stuck at the center of it all, rattling the xenonite of his enclosure in Scandalized Science Teacher.
The Eridians are NOT monolithic; they are confused about light in numerous, disagreeing, opinionated ways and they're making it Grace's problem.

:b ¦¦ Also I'm sorry, I kind of just splatter the colour on paper. Though hope it's at least somewhat acceptable. (: @arkytior-foreman Thank you for your patience with me. (ć^°^ć)
Typical Stature: eridans are on the smaller side ranging from 1'5" to 2'3"
Diet: seafood and enemies.
Temperament: cranky, prideful, needy
Preferred Environment: eridans require a basic seadwelling environment, but unlike feferies they will murder anything that enters their tank. Eridans prefer ranged weapons and will become sad if not provided access to their favorite troll safe nerf brand sniper rifles.
Enrichment: as mentioned above, they love Nerf guns, but also books, eridans will tear through libraries reading anything they can get their fins on. It is unclear how much they understand what they read, but it's clear they love it. Additionally, Eridan's love to do pagent work, they love to perform and be the center of attention, though it's the caretakers job to make sure they don't overexzert themselvs.
Lifespan: 60 to 100 years
Caretaking Tips: Much like Vriskas, Eridan's require constant and consistent attention, though what separates the two is the Eridan's need to be their caretakers favorite. They will become very aggressive and moody if they do not feel that they are the number one priority of their caretaker and don't do well in families. The best home for an eridan is a lonely single individual looking for a lifelong companion to dote on endlessly.

Me: Wow! I have so much on my plate, all these projects, but Iāve got a good plan set up. Now to-
Brain: Draw 11 Eridans.
Me: What no why-
Brain: 13.
Me: I donāt have time-
Brain: 14.
Welp, here you go. I decided to draw a whole bunch of Eridans from various AUs and plots of mine. I mostly stuck to the ones that had well-defined stories and interesting designs. There are at least two more I could have thrown in, and I might later but LATER. I didnāt bother with shading for the most part but yeah. Enjoy?
Rambles for all of them under the cut:
Posted means itās up on AO3. Planned means I have made an outline and hope to get to it at some point. Unplanned means I have made no outline. Maybe Iāll make one, or maybe itās an idea I donāt think Iāll pursue.

Eridan Ampora. Age: Probably 7-8 sweeps or something.

A previous injury destroyed his vocal chords and damaged his gills, so he communicates in his own version of sign language. Hasnāt bothered to tell his former team heās not dead.

Ā 7.Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Lost Prince. Some written. Planned.
Aiden (But people keep calling him Eridan?) Age: 18 years.

Status: The most content of all of them.
Ā 10.Ā Ā Another labstuck. Not written or planned.
Aquarius. Age: 16-17.
Lab subject in the Alternia wing with the power to manipulate water. Would probably be useful in breaking out of the place if he could be motivated to take the risk. It seems something is holding him back. Wearing the issued lab outfit. Hates it. Pissed the lab doesnāt let him have hair gel.
Relationships: Apparently he has a friend in another wing of the lab? Some girl? Also got a solid āI guess Iād tap thatā from Karkatās mental musings, beating Vriska in appeal but not Terezi.
Status: Wondering if heās going to get in trouble for this.

An angel separated from his culture at the age of five. Travels around with Jake, hiding from humans and hunting for food. Wearing some pants he stole at some point. Shirts are a bother.

An āunstableā subject with incredible destructive power. Other subjects are warned not to interact with him. Wearing the lab uniform.
Relationships: Presently attached to Bardās hip. Knew someone named Rocks or something?
Status: Save him.
Ā The Godfathers:
Ā Would probably argue over who was a better Godfather. I hope they wouldnāt come to blows over it because I donāt know who would win and the magic fight would probably raze the surroundings. In the end theyāre both sad Roxy died and are doing their best to raise her child(ren).
Ā The High school students:
Ā A couple of guys who were concerned only with school until shit got bigger. Feathers Eridan is basically a chiller, less high-strung, more human, more in love with Dirk version of SaS Eridan.
Ā SaS Eridan: You. You look normal. Whatās your story?
Feathers Eridan: I dunno, have superpowers? Stalked and experimented on by scientists?
SaS: Sounds about right. Nice to me-wait, do you have the Hope Dormās symbol tattooed on your damn hand?
Feathers Eridan: I guess, yeah.
SaS: Never mind we canāt be friends.
Ā (Donāt be rude to him, SaS Eridan. He could kick your ass.)
Ā The Lab Rats:
Ā They all have fairly different experiences, but theyāve all been trapped in a lab against their will. A main difference is #4 is fairly harmless, #14 has his angels, and #10 could rip the blood out of your body.
Ā The Survivors:
Ā All survivors in a different sense. #2 survived a near-mortal wound and a world ravaged by monsters. #8 survived hiding from the Condesce and another later nasty injury. #6 Survived an abusive owner. I hope they donāt get into an argument over who had it worse.
Ā The Angels:
Ā Theyāre both angels but, #3 is a fallen angel and has a very strong (and at least somewhat justified) āme or themā mentality. He is very much about to shoot #12. Someone stop him.
Ā The Amnesiac and Cat Lover:
Ā Donāt have anything in common. Just the only ones left. They do have a boyfriend in common though.
Ā Maybe if you send me two of them Iāll make them fight or whatever you suggest.
