Hello, a few years ago, I made a post on here about a new monster called "Sea Serpent." I have seen now that it is talked about more and more, with many posts saying that the monster would add a refreshed feel to the game. I have made a more up to date post, where it now takes ideas from the newer version of the game, and incorporates them within this post. Hope you like it. : )
Since 2018, we’ve battled the Megalodon and the Kraken, but I’ve been imagining a new threat to the seas: a Sea Serpent. Unlike the Meg’s brute force or the Kraken’s tentacles, this serpent would move with smooth, coiling precision, wrapping around ships and striking with its tail.
🌊 Spawn Conditions:
- Appears only when no other world events are active.
- Emerges near large rocks or Sea Fort areas.
- Length comparable to the Kraken, giving it a truly imposing presence.
⚔️ Attack Patterns:
- Initial strike: a sudden dash through the water, bashing the bow or stern (2–3 holes).
- Circling: coils around the ship, shaking it violently.
- Tail whip: smacks the hull, causing 3–4 holes.
- Cannons deal reduced damage due to thick scales, but swords and firearms are more effective.
- Blunder bombs briefly stun it, giving crews a 15 second window to deal heavy damage.
🔥 Waves of Battle:
- Wave 1: less aggressive, testing the crew.
- Wave 2: enraged after being stunned, faster and more punishing.
- Near death: movements slow, but attacks grow more desperate.
🏆 Rewards & Progression:
-
Defeating the serpent grants commendations tied to Seasonal progression, with milestones at 1, 3, 10, 15, and 25 kills.
-
Unlocks ship cosmetics and titles such as Killer of (Insert Name of Serpent Variant Here), Slayer of (Insert Name of Serpent Variant Here), Hunter of (Insert Name of Serpent Variant Here), Grand Hunter of (Insert Name of Serpent Variant Here), and Notorious Hunter of (Insert Name of Serpent Variant Here). These are accompanied by legendary titles as well, with each of them starting with Legendary Hunter of (Insert Name of Serpent Variant Here).

💙🤍🖤Three serpent variants:
- Blue (Sea Screecher): common, 60% spawn chance.
- White (White Death): rare, 35% spawn chance, appears in the Shroud.
- Black (Dark Shadow): legendary, 5% spawn chance, only at night in the Shroud.
💰Loot:
- Loot pool includes Stronghold chests, Tribute chests, Siren gems, Ashen crates, and a rare chance at a Chest of Fortune or Skull of Siren Song.
- Some of the basic loot includes seafarers chests, marauders chests, and captain's chests. This also includes the basic skulls such as foul, disgraceful, hateful, and villainous, but you can also earn stronghold, skeleton captain, and ashen winds skulls with a very small chance. Merchant products would include crates, siren gems, and coffers.
✨ Visuals:
- Blue serpent: glowing scales with green eyes.
- White serpent: faint red glow across scales with yellow eyes.
- Black serpent: purple shimmer with glowing red eyes.
This addition would expand the roster of sea monsters, offering crews a fresh challenge that blends the chaos of the Kraken with the precision of a serpent’s strike. Imagine the thrill of spotting coils rising from the waves as your crew braces for battle!
