Description summary:
The description varies based on the type of Zee-beast you are pursuing.
 Zee-Beast | Description |
|---|---|
| Angler Crab | The […] Crab applies all of its limbs to rip your bait asunder […] hunks of flesh spatter across your deck. Eight lumps sit quivering in the crab's pincers, before it plunges into the depths once more. Still, you have a much better idea of where it is now. |
| Ravenous Lifeberg | […] hundreds of lesser predators swarm the cloudy water. At first the lifeberg seems untempted […] Then, with a sudden change of direction, it surges towards your ship. It nearly capsizes three other boats […], but at least it is closer to you now. |
| Feral Crocodile | The crocodile lunges from the water, snatching meat in its jaws and instinctively spinning into a death roll. Its huge body sends up a spray of brackish water as it falls back into the depths. |
| Lorn-Fluke | […] anything in the water is enough to drive the Fluke to ever-more-reckless fury. It affixes its distant attention on the blood in the water. Air shimmers, and the bait blackens, the zee around it rising to boiling point. […] Begone. |
