Long time fan, first time Caller; Enjoying the game so far, and an Idea off the top of my head to make the game a little better; a little more immersive, I'm calling "The Crab update", because it comes in three parts:
New companion pets; -Dungeoness Crab, Coconut Crab, and Hermit Crab, You can carry them around, waggle your finger in front of them as they try to pinch you, and at least for the Hermit Crab and Coconut Crab, might be interesting to make one costume from the shop be a skull that it creeps around in!
-New Island inhabitant, Crabs
Along with feral pigs and Snakes, now you have to worry about Crabs! Typically seen around the coastline, they mind their own business, until you're practically stepping on them, and then they pinch you! for a negligible amount of damage; possibly staggers the player, or triggers a third-person camera animation of the victim pirate hopping up and down in shock, the Crab latching onto their toe or peg-leg!
-Alternatively, when digging for gold, and you don't hit a chest, there is the off-chance that you disturb a crab instead!
-Hitting them with a sword, gunshot, or even a shovel, will kill the crab, and award crab-meat, a new foodstuff sought after by the Hunter's Call.
Food effect is comparable to Snake meat; tastes a lot better too!
-Could also be a variant of chest, which is essentially a gargantuan Hermit Crab whose made a Chest into their home! Smacking them with a sword stuns them for a few minutes, but left to their own devices, they will try to scuttle away from you if left unattended for too long!
We already have the Crab-Lord Costume! Lets go full Crab!
