Eiconter

A galley ship that was under construction in the radius of the Suthermont Mass Resurrection. Awakened, it dragged itself out of the workshop and into the water, reaching shore after months of aimless drifting. It now prefers to stay on steady ground, and uses makeshift legs to plod through Agrophon, guided only by its passenger Lacqueator.   Eiconter is 40 meters long, with ten legs on each side. They used to be oars for traveling across water, but layers of dirt and webbing have evolved them into ogre-like legs that can lift the entire ship and carry it across land, bending their paddles like heels and toes. Eiconter trudges along like an elephant, holding the ship itself two meters off the ground. Its sails maneuver around the treetops by twisting and buckling of their own accord. Its figurehead, an aged mule with wide eyes and flattened ears, endlessly chews a handful of leaves in its wooden teeth.  

Shambling

After years of wandering out of its element, the half-formed ship is breaking down, and is drowning in moss and debris. Its sails are torn, its quarters are trashed, its deck has collected branches and leaves from across the continent, and its anchor is torn out. It's still holding on to its name: the word “Eiconter” is emblazoned in brass behind the figurehead’s right shoulder. The ship’s hull has stretched itself around the letters to keep them from dislodging.   Eiconter has become a nest for enormous spiders, fellow victims of resurrection. The spiders seem determined to keep Eiconter moving, and some of its limbs are held together by cobwebs. Below deck, Eiconter's walls are covered in layers upon layers of silk tapestries, mostly designed by a very bored Lacqueator, which also happen to function as an extra layer of armor.   Developments - Act I
As Eiconter is repaired, it starts to discover new abilities and move faster and more comfortably, though it still doesn't like to walk uphill. Since its original construction was never finished, it starts to feel even better than when it first came to life.
