Keyword: Sea Monster. Fear.
For those who think sea monsters are cool but
overpriced, your shark has come in!
Squalo is far and away the least expensive monster
in the game. You get only two body segments for your
nine points, so he isn't a terrifying boarding
machine like some of the krakens. Two body segments
is fine for boarding a two-masted ship, though,
especially since you'll usually knock down a mast
with your ram before you board. His Fear ability
works even while he's under water, which opens up a
sea of possibilities. On the down side, Squalo is a
bit on the slow side, so you'll want to get him to a
place where the enemy has to pass near him. And I
know just the place.
Plant this shark off an enemy home island, and
blockade that island from under water. Use Fear on
anything that comes near him. There's a 1 in 6
chance the enemy won't be able to move, and another
1/6 chance that you'll immobilize his crew
(including the Helmsman, if any), which means you
could paralyze traffic in and out of his home port.
When a gold ship with only 1-2 masts passes by, you
can hum the theme from "Jaws" as the big fishie goes
for a ram and board. Just make sure there aren't any
fighting ships nearby; two body segments don't last
long under fire.
9 points is a good price for any ship that's at all
useful. Squalo's combination of submerging and Fear
is useful indeed. He's not a big monster, or a fast
one, but any monster that doesn't eat up all your
points is a monster I'll use at least once.

Squalo
Masts: 2
Cargo: 0
Move:
L
Cannons: S2, S3
Points: 9
Ability: Fear.
This is
the last ship that we review this week, and in
my opinion it is the best. I haven't been very
happy with the ships so far, but this ship is
gonna change my mind real fast. First, lets take
a look at the BAD aspects of it.
Really,
the only BAD thing is the 0 cargo, and its a sea
monster so it can't carry crew anyways. OK, so
its move is only an L. But hey, take what you
can get, right? This sea monster has more good
than bad qualities by far.
Let's
see. 9 points for a ship with fear is still
outstanding. And a sea monster? That's amazing!
They can't shoot you, and you can just sail up
beside them and Fear away! They can't do
anything about it. And so what if that's all you
use it for? It's only 9 points! I give this ship
(shark i guess) a 4.5 out of 5 just because of
it's average move.
4.5/5
