Old Stickybones
An enigma of the Eastern seas, this creature has terrorized both the shores and any attempts to navigate the waters of that area for many years. Believed by some to be a myth and by others to be a ghost, there is very little information known about this strange creature, but for those that have crossed his path and lived to report it, Old Sticky Bones remains one of the greatest terrors of the region.

The creature is humanoid though very tall, reported to stand over seven feet tall. All accounts to seems to agree that it has an extremely wide mouth filled with several rows of shark like teeth and a glowing, hateful gaze. It is said to have extremely large, webbed feet and long, muscular legs as well. With these feet and legs the creature is able to maintain supernatural swimming speeds, able to easily outpace most ships. It also has the ability when on solid ground to leap incredible distances, often clearing as much fifty or sixty feet at a time.
