Slarg Gubbit was one of the first sea monsters to appear in pirates'
waters. It's a fairly good one.

Speed is average, which means a bit better than the average sea monster.
Cargo is huge, seeing how it can't use crew. "Cannons" are a bit below average, but good enough at close range, which is where most sea-monster "gunnery" will take place. The Fear ability is fun when it works, but
2/3 of the time, it doesn't. So this monster will mostly do what monsters do best: roam around underwater, find a weak or isolated target, then surface and either ram and board, or "shoot" (lash with its tentacles). It can try to cause Fear in enemy ships while submerged, but it will find its best use in preying on the weak.

This oddly-named squid is a bit on the expensive side, considering its slightly sub-average guns and ability. But it isn't a terrible value, like some sea monsters (Lusca and He'e come to mind), and you probably won't be sorry if you use it, provided you use it properly. It isn't a five-masted fighting ship, so don't try to use it like one. Ram! Board!
Kill!
