[Action - Closed to Namur]

[decapod]

[For a while, Tamatoa has been fairly content to make his home at the bottom of Fayren's biggest lake. There are fish to eat, and a few treasures to find scattered in the silt at the bottom. He even enjoyed fighting the lake monster that occasionally came out of its lair. (Which coincidentally made lake visitors happy to not be eaten by said lake monster, but Tamatoa knew nothing about the creature's dining habits -- only that once he managed to kill it for good, he could move into that comfy cave and thoroughly loot it.]

[But a lake wasn't made to house and feed someone of Tamatoa's size, and when all that's left to eat are the little fish that scarcely amount to a nibble, he has to heave himself up onto shore.]

[The frustrated pair of fishermen scream and scramble backwards at the sight of the monstrous crab and his hoarded treasure glittering brightly on his back.]

What are you screaming for? I'm not going to eat you.

[...He could, though. Easily. His flat look turns into a wicked smirk.]

But that would be more convenient than going alllllll the way to the fish market, wouldn't it?

[And he might, if they don't have anything useful to offer up in exchange for their pitiful lives. It's the least they can do for annoying him this early in the...late afternoon.]

[The fishermen cry out again after scrambling a bit, finding themselves trapped between two monsters- a giant crab, and a hulking shark-type Fishman. Namur happened by at that moment, much to their shock. But in the end, he seems the more human, so they take their chances darting past him and into the forest.

Namur watches them go, brows raised in confusion.]

The hell's that all 'bout?

[And then, because a giant crab is a hell of a thing to see in the mountains-]

Kinda long way from the tide pools, ain'tcha?
