''Aquaman: Monster'' is an ''ComicBook/{{Aquaman}}'' fanfic by Orphistry (Tropers/{{Allisterarch}}).

Primarily based on the Silver and Bronze Age versions of Aquaman, with a heavy emphasis on Atlantis' Greek roots, the story retells the ComicBook/DeathOfAPrince arc in its own unique world. Black Manta wants revenge on Arthur Curry, King of Atlantis, for killing his father after he killed Arthur's father.

Seeking to finish the cycle of revenge, he hires other villains to hunt the hero down and locate Atlantis, all while Aquaman deals with the growing pressure of raising a family, being a king, and the increasing attacks. But when Manta finally makes his move, Arthur's life will change forever.

!!This fanfic contains examples of:

* AdaptationNameChange: Arthur's son, traditionally called Arthur Jr., is named Tommy here after Tom Curry.
* CompellingVoice: Aquaman can outright control marine life in times of duress instead of just asking for help. He really doesn't like doing it.
* GenderFlip: Topo, a male octopus in the comics, is female here.
* GooGooGodlike: Tommy exhibits both Arthur's fish communication and Mera's hard water powers, making him a very formidable infant.
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:The Scavenger decides to stop working for Manta and mislead him about where Atlantis is]].
* NamedByTheAdaptation: Several characters have added names, such as Thesily being given the first name Giorgios.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: The Terrible Trio bicker as much as they battle, but for a while they had Aquaman and his family at their mercy and had to be defeated with outside help.
* RevisitingTheRoots: The story brings Aquaman more in line with his Silver Age self, who talked to fish and didn't have super strength or bulletproof skin.
* TerribleTrio: The Terrible Trio from the comics, Fisherman, Karla, and Un-Thing, appear under Black Manta's employ and spend as much time bickering as they do attacking the heroes.
