how bout bulldog bat!euripedes wearing one of them novelty fishing hats?
"let any fish who meets my gaze learn the true meaning of fear, for I am the harbinger of death; the bane of creatures subaqueous. for my claws are true and unwavering, as I glide above the surface of the aquatic abyss."
or unaltered text hat, merely strategically transferred from an outdoor store to end up resting atop the head of Euripedes. maybe the brim is lined with superglue too, so it stays on while flying. and resists the best attempts of Vikus to remove it.
