Neptina

Neptina was the Queen of Almoza, an underwater kingdom inhabited by the Fish-men, who were at war with the surface world. She was opposed by Lieutenant Brad Fletcher, “the Navy’s best undersea expert”, to whom she was also attracted. She became jealous of the attention he paid to her prisoner Norma Kane, whose lungs and vocal chords Neptina planned to harvest, to allow her to breathe and speak above water. After Lt. Fletcher was rescued by the Maella, a band of female outlaws led by Mhersa, they banded together to rescue Kane and fight Neptina. Neptina was later overthrown by her sister Mhera, and fled with her right-hand Fish-man Mogg. When Mhera proved to be an even worse ruler than Neptina, Lt. Fletcher and Co. decided to restore Neptina to the throne. She eventually fell in love with Prince Eon, who was also overthrown in his own underwater kingdom Polaris. Neptina and her new allies defeated her sister Mhera and her allies King Walro and his Walrus Men, restoring both the Prince and Neptina to their respective thrones.
