What legendary sea creatures would you like to see besides the kraken?

    I think the world would benefit greatly in terms of authenticity with more variety in the enemies in general. It’s defintiely fun fighting skeletons, as well as difficult, and I know that was just what was available in the alpha, but I’m hopeful that we’ll have wider variety of enemies to battle.

    Now as far as mythical creatures, the kraken is going to be damn cool, but another that comes to mind would maybe be some sort of whale remeniscent to moby d**k? Or perhaps a whale shark similar to what can be found in the cataclysm expansion for world of Warcraft. But I also like some of the comments mentioning serpents. It would be terrifying to be sailing and have a giant serpent emerge and chop on your crew mates

    @farfignu I do like the idea of the sirens. Maybe they would sing around a rocky outcrop guatding a chest. When you hear their call it adds the drunk effect but to steering the ship around the rocks

    Special event list that could signify a giant monster: (Will include more as more ideas are posted)

    • Certain creatures could only arrive during the most dangerous of storms.
      ________*Like Moby D**k or the Unibozu
    • Some creatures could 90% only travel outside the world map in the 'out there' so you would have to wait for the 10% chance it is in the world map or risk attempting fate 'out there'.
      ________*The Giant Turtle would be great for this as if you can get there you would be fine.
    • Others would be more common as they would be region specific creatures.
      ________*Giant Crocs could be on specific swamp islands and Megalodons could be in specific reefs. The Loch Ness Monster could frequent very rarely a certain island's loch.
    • The sky could change color over a large certain area for some creatures.
      ________*Krakens could have the sky turn orange over them so that all pirates know that a Kraken has come.

    @chosen-predator There is a serpent in ancient Norse mythology named Jormungandr, A.K.A. World Serpent was one of Loki's three children and was a serpent that was so big it was said to have wrapped around the entire Earth. It is also said that when Jormungandr releases it's tail Ragnarok will begin. So I think it would be an awesome quests that you can be given to where the World Serpent released it's tail and Ragnarok is about to begin on Earth, with that you and your friends have been given the task to defeat Jormungandr and stop Ragnarok.

    Not all the monsters need be Sea farers!

    What about something like a Giant Brahma Rooster that comes charging out of a cave or something on the attack after you've stolen/kidnapped so many chickens from the islands!

    Something prehistoric would be cool... It's a fantasy one the sea so why not bring in something that could have survived deep in the sea?

    Plesiosaur?

    Been playing D&D in the days and Leviathan might be nice.

    Or a Dragon Turtle

    Also maybe some aquatic tribes for seasonal fun. Lets say Atlantians attack some island and we can fight them off etc. We have mermaids so any aquatic race shouldnt be too much :P

    some really good ideas, some i think we might see and some i think RARE will decide to make their own type of sea and land creature legends..maybe they will have more depth then just creatures and have lairs full of treasures or maps full of history, so much can be done

  • RoshkaVP
    Seafarer

    @bolt20267 like a raid quest

  • Bolt20267

    @roshkavp yeah pretty much

  • RoshkaVP
    Seafarer

    some of the large creatures could also be intered and tresure could be found and also can only be slayn from the inside wall others can be hurt from inside and out have a skimatic fight raid of 10, 5 in side and five on the out side but not auto players can choose to go in or stay out (i get alot of the ideas from D&D we do that stuff)

  • RoshkaVP

    oh any one know the ship classes?

  • RoshkaVP

    mimics, Changelings things that can invade the crew/ship get the alert but gotta find them witch give your crew more meaning not just npc they can really become more like family make real feelings for a crew and can be generated from the people that play using a cloud like system like forza npcs are shadows of other people and a AI that gerates its own thought speech a smart bot AI

    I was thinking since we do have mermen in this game that revive you and so far giant sharks, wouldn't it be freaky if you had something else that doesn't come as frequent as the sharks but pulls you down deep into the Abyss of the ocean? I have no idea how far the ocean goes in SEA OF THIEVES or if some parts just hit a end...but i think if you add some horror to this game like seeing your ship...but just before getting on the ladder something pulls you down and your slow glimmer of light becomes darker and darker

    basically being pulled into the abyss

    now its up to RARE does it take you to a place or do you just drown and die

    I would like it to be a super rare thing to happen but i can just imagine a four men crew watching their buddy swimming to the ship and getting pulled right down lol

    makes for a good story

    how about a huge flying beast that spawns in the middle of a storm and we have to chase it and try to shoot it down with our cannons mid-storm. imagine doing that in a sloop

    i'm kinda disappointed in rare that we havent had any monster shown off so close to release. people in the forums have some awesome ideas

    @angel-rugal

    Unfortunately the cannons only go side to side rather than up and down so fighting a flying beast would require new mechanics. Perhaps a harpoon gun?

    @maximillianzeus the cannons go very far up tho

    Kracken, Moby D**k, and a giant sea serpent would be ill

    I would love a "poseidon event boss thing".
    But not like Poseidon in person but more of a "the ocean is against you" kind of event.
    The problem is... how would win such a fight? shoot cannonballs in the water?
    Maybe a manifestation comes up at certain times that you can fire at to damage or something. I want it to be a mysterious fight tho, like you're fighting the ocean not the god.

    EDIT:
    I saw another person on this post talking about a giant sea turtle.
    This could be sick. Image a giant sea turtle with an island on its back.
    The only way you can know its the turtle is because the island is moving.
    So some players of your ship has to board the island and do a PvE event there and make the turtle go a bit closer to the sea level so the ships can bombard it.

    I want to add your creature to the list, what type of mythical flying creature were you thinking of?

  • Booky06

    I think adding some bosses from Banjo-Kazooie would be awesome! They have a Crab, an angler fish, and other things that could easily fit for this game! Sea serpents would be cool to see also. The idea of an island with a turtle on it's back would be nice as well, if it kind of moved around the world and you could only ever find it by chance and it have some turtle island specific loot to show you had found it! It would also be nice to have some mythical or pirate superstitions added to the game, if anyone has ever read about pirates they were very superstitious people.

    @maximillianzeus well the bird i was thinking of is Anzu, huge black bird, breathes fire AND water, lion head, even wikipedia says "Anzû is a divine storm-bird and the personification of the southern wind and the thunder clouds"

    i think it would be absolutely perfect for sea of thieves, the storms are already dangerous and beautiful in itself, having a bus-sized Anzu flying in one that attacks you if you fire your cannon would be one of those "oh sh*t!" kinda moments that makes a game into an unforgettable experience
