A big pale ogre with tattoos and patches of glittering, small scales on his skin. He is dressed in some kind of kilt made of sails and a net and several parts of destroyed ships cover his upper body. He is armed with a mast as a club and an anchor grappling hook. His hair looks like water plants.

A little, grey, mouse-like creature is licking up some fluid it created from grains with some strange aura it emanates. It resembles a small mouse, but with the snout of an anteater.
