What do you think? Should this be added to Sea of Thieves?
IMHO
Twice the size is too small. Needs to be bigger to pull ships to depths ) Tooth is too expensive, tentacles should control players, not ships. Otherwise its a good idea.

What do you mean by "too expensive"? That's how much gold you get when you sell the tooth.
What about three times the size, or how about twice as long?
This or a Megalodon mini-boss would be nice. I feel that whichever appearance is chosen, their behavior should be similar and drops should be identical; a tooth, as you suggested. But selling it for anywhere above 1000 gold is excessive. A single legendary chest alone is in the ballpark of 1000, last I checked.

This isn't a traditional quest, though. It's a rare monster that offers a reward if you are able to defeat it. What if I changed it to 1,000 - 3,000 gold? I think the amount of gold you get should be similar to when you defeat a skeleton fort.

I understand that it's not a traditional quest. Neither is the Kraken, and it doesn't drop any loot atm (which is disappointing). Skeleton-fort levels of loot are acceptable, if it were a proper world boss the size of a Galleon or larger.
Otherwise, if we keep it small, loot shouldn't be worth more than 1000.
@wolftopia Then you want it to be as tanky as possible and pretty destructive as well. Battle at skull forts may take hours to fight for reward, and it can be completely lost along the way. While this boss is mostly 1 on 1 encounter. Threat level should be high. Or lower the reward. If I needed to fight 15-20 mins and lose everything, then its ok.
