Moves: L
Guns : 2S,2S,2S,2S,2S

Ability: Sea Monster. Once per turn, you may reroll
any die roll you make for this sea monster; you must
use the second die roll result.
This is one nasty-looking sea monster! I'm surprised
it hasn't gotten more notice among gamers.
The cannons are about as good as you could hope for.
Five tentacles means you'll win most boarding
actions, and if you don't, you have the reroll
ability for a second chance. The only real problem
is speed, and because Lechim Namod is so cheap
compared to most monsters, you can probably afford
one of the Cursed crew that speed up a sea monster
(Sargasso Nightmare and the RF Hag of Tortuga). The
ultimate in nastiness would be to put one of those
crew, and a Helmsman, on one of the Cursed
submarines (Locker or Pyre), so your speeder-upper
can follow the squid under water until they find a
likely target, and then, double-whammo, with the
squid's cannons to finish the job.
Fourteen points for a squid with all 2-rank cannons
is very, very good.
Lechim Namod could do very good things for you, by
doing very bad things to your enemy. Send him after
your opponent's gold ships and watch the carnage.
