The Principles of Coral
The Snares

Someone has bound it savagely with black iron-sunk bands and joined mechanisms deep into its flesh.

Description[ | ]

These are enormous sharks, bound in cruel iron trappings that have changed them somehow. Without bones the metal, which is driven deep into their flesh, has reshaped the shark's body for unknown purposes. If dissected there are unrecognizable organs within its body.

Behavior[ | ]

Their attack pattern is to get as close as possible and then either lunging to damage your ship's Hull or increasing your Terror by 1.

Sometimes they will kill one crewmember and damage the ship.

Interactions[ | ]

You've defeated a Bound-Shark[ | ]

Its bonds buckled, its skin torn, its teeth shattered.

Actions Requirements Effects Notes
Use its meat

Its torment ended with its death. You have more immediate concerns.

Tough and grey

The shark-meat is dark, springy and oily. These are not encouraging properties for a meal. Nevertheless, your cook, perhaps, can make something of it. And what's this in its gut?

Examine its cage-armature

Failed event
A painful mystery

You learn little, except that someone is merciless and inventive. The pain this creature must have suffered! You take a tooth as a trophy: if your hull is damaged, your engineer will repurpose some of its cage as repair materials.

Successful event
Digging deeper

The cage has begun to distort its shape- more than seems reasonable, but then a shark has no bones. Rods of iron inserted deep into its flesh have done impossible things. There are organs in there that none of you recognize. Its suffering must have been extraordinary. You take a tooth as a trophy: if your hull is damaged, your engineer will repurpose some of its cage as repair materials.
