Description summary:
The description varies based on the type of Zee-beast you are pursuing.
 Zee-Beast | Description |
|---|---|
| Plated Seal | The Plated Seal is […] constant in one aspect: its playfulness. You do not need to hunt it if, instead, it is chasing you. […] by means of a long, slow turn and the belching of smoke […], you're able to lead it a few miles, into more friendly waters. |
| Angler Crab | The Angler Crab navigates by means of its luminescent illiciae. Its tectonic scuttling may, therefore, be arrested by means of a sufficient application of light. You order all torches, lanterns […] pointed directly at the enemy. […] It is blinded […] |
| Ravenous Lifeberg | Lifebergs kill out of blind malice rather than hunger […] motivated […] by whatever long, ancient transgressions can incense geography to murder. […] You corral a nearby shoal of jillyfish into the lifeberg's path, buying the Citizen's Armada more time […] |
| Feral Crocodile | Crocodilians are many terrifying things, but they are not fish. It must come up for air periodically, or it will drown. You keep track of the timing of such emergences – opportunities to open fire, or to spot the beast's location. |
| Lorn-Fluke | Flukes are rare and sessile things: slow to passion; slow to cool; capable of epochal furies and sorrows. This rampage is not random. The Fluke was provoked by the abyssal detonation of the Admiralty's cast-off ordnance. […] |
| Midnight Whale | The Midnight Whale is a creature of the deepest depths [...] attuned to the Neathbow.
You [...] snuff your candles, [...] gant flowers like a lure. To a beast searching for the Pole, [...] it is as though you have lit a beacon. The Midnight Whale pursues you [...] dogged and weary. |

Failure
Experience's teacher
The thing is not where you expect it to be. Perhaps it is an outlier; perhaps an exile or an aberration of its kind. Perhaps you simply didn't know as much as you thought you did – but now you know a little more. Next time, you'll be ready.
