The Keeper of the Depths includes Presupports and non supports files for printing!  A bit of lore: This sea serpent has shattered the nerves of many Oceanic Community captains, particularly those of Maori ascendance, for they had heard stories of the protective monster Taniwha, but were terribly shortchanged. This is one of the few registered sea creatures that have been affected by the Miasma and there are only around ten samples in the known seas. Extremely colorful scales for an incredibly quiet creature. The Keeper never shows itself to ships that enter the Miasma. It is theorized, instead, that it simply stares at them, recollecting sensory data on the newcoming ship. It leaves the new vessels at peace, allowing them passage. It’s the return, which chills the hearts of sailors. Since so few creatures of the like exist in the Wounded Earth and their approach is always a surprise to all, the Keeper has earned the mental real-estate in everyone’s minds. The Keeper is a mixed predator, seeking first to mislead the ships away from the edge of the fog. It can imitate voices and completely confuse the magnetic center of any and all compasses. When this fails (though sometimes, this step is unnecessary), it’ll shoot up from the sea and attempt to coil itself around the ship. A crew can defeat the creature if they’re fast enough, but even the most effective defense can render a ship horribly maimed and in incredible need for repairs.
